westham fans are convinced they’ve been ‘scammed’ as new signing ‘flops’ vs Tottenham and demand he’s drop from squad

# West Ham Fans Fume Over New Signing’s Nightmare Debut in Spurs Defeat

**London, September 14, 2025** – The Hammers’ faithful are licking their wounds after a disheartening 2-1 loss to rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium yesterday, but the real ire is directed at summer signing Marco Voss, whose woeful performance has left supporters questioning the club’s transfer strategy.

Voss, the 24-year-old German midfielder acquired from RB Leipzig for a hefty £35 million, was expected to inject creativity and steel into West Ham’s engine room. Instead, his debut was a catalogue of errors that directly contributed to Tottenham’s victory. In the 32nd minute, Voss’s sloppy pass in midfield was intercepted by Spurs’ Son Heung-min, leading to the opener – a clinical finish that exposed West Ham’s fragility. Worse was to come in the second half when, under pressure from James Maddison, Voss fouled his marker in the box, conceding a penalty that Yves Bissouma converted to seal the points.

West Ham managed a late consolation through Jarrod Bowen’s header, but it was too little, too late. Manager Julen Lopetegui defended his new recruit post-match, calling it “a learning curve,” but fans weren’t buying it. Social media erupted with disappointment, trending hashtags like #VossFlop and #SellVossNow.

“I’ve waited all summer for this guy to shine, and he gifts Spurs two goals? Absolute joke,” tweeted lifelong supporter @HammerHeart84, echoing sentiments from the stands where chants of frustration drowned out the team song. On forums like West Ham’s official board, users dissected Voss’s stats: zero tackles won, 68% pass accuracy, and a player rating of 3.2 from pundits – the lowest on the pitch.

The defeat piles pressure on Lopetegui, already under scrutiny after a mixed start to the season. With Europa League commitments looming, West Ham can’t afford more teething problems. Voss, who promised “fire and fight” upon arrival, now faces a baptism of fan fire. As one banner in the stands read: “£35m for that? Refund please!”

Will Voss bounce back, or is he the latest in West Ham’s long line of transfer misfires? For now, the Irons’ supporters are left seething, their hopes dashed by a debut that will haunt them longer than the loss itself.
