Do we actually know that neither Sakho nor AC will be able to play a part in pre-season?

Of course every game matters, but if it's the difference between signing a 10 goal a season average player, or a 15+ quality player, I'd certainly say it was worth the wait.
But we do not know if said 10 goal a season player or 15+ will be available at the end of the window and as we saw with Zaza those 3 weeks can end up being wasted and they don't even score a goal when joining. West Ham isn't a club that can afford to just "get by" in 3 games in the PL that could be 9 points that could make or break a season.
There are times like now where I begin to wonder whether we have actively started looking for any new players as the most recent up date is we were never interested in Badou and this comes off the back of any players we have been linked with going elsewhere. Is this a cunning plan by the club to put people completely off the scent and end up with no one? ;whistle
Everything we see, hear and read is pure speculation unless it comes from an official source. The club has been very quiet about transfers this window and rightly so.
Arnautovic is one of those players who I fear when we play against. In his case the one I think is likely to tear our defence apart. In my books that means he is a player I would rather have in my team.

And if they aren't quiet they get beaten with the other end of the same stick for telling alm the world about who they are interested in. Damned if you do - damned if you don't.

I honestly have no idea.
I've seen nothing official, so will wait to see what happens.
Sky claiming he has just handed in a transfer request...
Guess we disagree then.
I'm happy for the club to take their time, and try to get it right.
I'm not saying I wouldn't rather see us get the right player now, just that I'd rather wait than panic buy.
Time wrap
Zabaleta - Reid - Ogbonna
Antonio - Kouyate - Obiang - Cresswell
Lanzini - Arnautovic
Ayew
;hmm
Zabaleta - Reid - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Obiang
Noble - Kouyate
Lanzini
Ayew - Arnautovic
;hmm
They are second strikers or attacking midfielders they need someone to work off of
Zaba Reid Ogbonna Masuaku
Obiang Kouyate
Antonio Lanzini Arnautovic
Hernandez
Randy, Cresswell, Fonte, Noble, Fernandes, Ayew, Fletcher
Could be our squad for Man U based on today's rumours.
Would be happy enough with that for starters.
Damned if you do - damned if you don't.
