Contrary to reports that West Ham had 'stepped up their efforts' this week to sign Dylan Lawlor, that is not the case.

West Ham have been told Dylan Lawlor wants to stay at Welsh Club Cardiff City







20/07 /2026



I am hearing that Lawlor wants to stay with Cardiff and wants at least to stay with us in the Championship and is in No rush to leave.

Lawlor has made his mind up he wants to stay, unless he is pushed out.

BBM wants Lawlor to Stay as well.

But Hierarchy need to Sell someone to give BBM real money.

Well Annis does say "sell to spend big" which to me says that he has money to spend on the right people just not BIG money which could mean double figures if you're optimistic or a lot less if you're pessimistic so let's wait & see what BIG money actually means first having already made an over £5 million bid for the one guy who wants to go to Rangers over us.

How can you make the call BBM hasnt been backed ??

Great news he wants to stay. But I feel deep down for the greater good of the only way we can strengthen is buy selling, then is rather see 3 quality players come in if we can see him for enough. Ideally he stays and we still get three quality players in.

This is great news on Lawlor, and not unexpected, as said earlier. He’s a young player who will improve further under the guidance of BBM :clap:

And Dahl hasn’t signed for Rangers yet; nor is close to doing so, as the likeliest option is a move to the Championship! ;) :ayatollah:

That's a lot easier said than actually done, especially if nobody wants them & is willing to pay them the same, even for free.

If they need to sell, sell the club and take Tan with them.
For me I would off load Chambers, Robinson, king.

Long term, it’s better that he stayed. But short term? I remember a few years back when we had very few games out of Rubin while he had growing pains. Dylan also missed a fair few with injury back end of last season. If we’re going to be another lean squad this year, we need everyone contributing. This league is so much tougher.

Long term no doubt we’ll benefit but I hope it doesn’t leave us short next season.

Great decision by him, for his long-term career.
