"It all started on Saturday when Sakho wasn't included in the starting eleven for the Newcastle United defeat, being told he is behind both Michail Antonio and Andre Ayew in the pecking order for strikers at the club - two players who aren't strikers."
An awful lot of IFs in that.
Lots of players, Chicarito being the latest, have said how Slav was with them was a big factor in signing.
Another loan but still why aren't we interested in these players.......
And yes, there are a lot of ifs. ;biggrin
However, if Sakho were to go to Palace, what would you think, how would you feel?
Personally, I'm happy to take them at their word.
Re: Sakho, given how little he has played for us recently, and what would seem to be his negative attitude, it wouldn't bother me much, assuming we got cover in for him.
While I didn't want him to move you have to ask... what is he doing at Rennes then? Is he trying to force the move
Let's be honest he has had a problem in the past so this might come back to bite us
Also WBA have completed the move of the PSG guy (don't make me spell his name).....great signing for them
The fact that the difference in appearances is only 11 with Sakho literally missing an entire season with the back injury shows they are both as unreliable as each other
He says there's a small chance of Carvalho happening, and our back up plan (Gomes of Barca) is even less likely (quite how that's a back up I don't know).
We may do something if we're offered someone like Bats or Wilshere, but from what he said there won't be much happening at all, which makes a mockery of our 'one out, one in' policy.
Oh, and Quina is going on loan to Sheffield Utd. The club that sued us because they weren't good enough to stay up. Yeah, them.
If true we will then have a sulky sakho on our hands who we will wish we sold.

"Sky sources reported earlier on Wednesday that he had passed a medical at Rennes ahead of a £9m transfer, although it is understood this had been conducted without West Ham's permission. ... he missed Wednesday's training session and discussed personal terms without consent. ... West Ham are waiting to see if Sakho returns on Thursday".
This is bad. Why keep a player who is so disruptive? The effect on the morale of other players can't be that good. In any case, he is injury prone and the Club have paid him and taken care of him and he has shown what in return? How do we know that he will give 100% if retained at WHU? Or is the theory that because he might be sold in January 2018 (his contract expires in July/August 2018) he might pull up a few trees? I am baffled by all this.
