Someone should remind David Sullivan that fans are the lifeblood of football. Certainly at an institution as storied and as traditional as our beloved West Ham United.
Fortunately, while the Upton Park terraces are nothing more than a wistful, sepia-tinged memory these days, there are still plenty of ways in which supporters can stick together in the social media age.
Hammers News’ brand-new TalkingPoints initiative plans to do just that.
Each and every day, we will be asking West Ham United fans to give their views on the latest transfer rumours – a pair of new number nines is quite the way to start 2026 – plus the reaction to any latest comments from Nuno Espirito Santo, as well as the most up-to date coverage of past, present and future Premier League encounters.
Starting with Wolves away, on Saturday.
What CHANGES would you make to West Ham’s XI away to Wolves?
Paqueta out? Summerville in? What about Callum Wilson?
West Ham United face Wolverhampton Wanderers in huge Premier League clash
Nuno is not the only one returning to Molineux this weekend.
As a growing faction of supporters beg for his removal from the starting XI, particularly after that ridiculous penalty concession against Brighton and Hove Albion in midweek, Jean-Clair Todibo’s injury could hardly have come at a worse time.
Todibo limped off in that 2-2 Brighton draw with what is now confirmed to be a groin injury. As such, Nuno may feel he has no choice but to start Kilman again and pray for a response.
After Ollie Scarles silenced his critics with a stand-out showing at the London Stadium, how Kilman could do with taking a leaf out of the youngster’s book.
What other changes do you want to see Nuno make away to the Premier League’s bottom side? Has Lucas Paqueta twinged your very last nerve? Would you put your trust in 18-year-old Ezra Mayers at Kilman’s expense?
And is this Callum Wilson’s final weekend as a starting striker with a couple of new faces on the way?

How do you FEEL as West Ham move away from Jorgen Strand Larsen?
Overpriced at £40m? Or a potential one-that-got-away?
Pablo and Taty Castellanos are on the way to West Ham
In a funny twist of fate, West Ham’s first clash of 2026 will see them take on a team whose striker they tried, and failed, to pinch.
Wolves quoted £45 million for Jorgen Strand Larsen. With only one goal from 14 starts this season, it is no wonder the Hammers ran for the hills in pursuit of cheaper alternatives.
But how do you feel about the prospect of two unproven Premier League operators arrive, instead of a man who hit double figures in happier times at Molineux?
Pablo looks set to be West Ham’s first signing of January…💪
What are YOUR thoughts on this deal?
The statistics suggest Gil Vicente hotshot Pablo is more ruthless than even Erling Haaland. Then again, Darwin Nunez and Viktor Gyokeres looked pretty special in Portugal too.
And three years after West Ham were first linked with Castellanos, will Lazio’s inconsistent but occasionally-electrifying Argentine prove to be worth his £27 million price-tag?
Nuno must mastermind two successive wins as relegation looms
Just how IMPORTANT is Saturday’s trip to Wolves? 🐺
A must-win, surely…
To say this is a key point in West Ham’s season, meanwhile, would be quite the understatement.
Beat Wolves away and then Nottingham Forest at home in midweek, and the Hammers could go into the FA Cup third round outside of the relegation zone. Lose both matches, however, and the Championship will feel more inevitable than ever.
Let us know how West Ham should approach a trip to a team with three points and no wins on the board. And, of all the players to pull on both the claret and blue and the old gold, who would you most like to see back in a Hammers jersey?
Craig Dawson would surely come in handy right about now…
Played for both – West Ham and Wolves! 🤝
Who would you pick from this XI to play for the Hammers today?
