Sakho out for 9 mil for Waris who scored 9 times in Ligue 1 last year for a team that was relegated . Seems like ok business, Sakho who does not play much(last year of contract) for a player that played 40 odd games last year. If the profit between the two deals get Carvalho over the line then it make sense. ;hmm
Sakho is a better player imo, albeit i only have this fellas record to go off of which to me is underwhelming, but the injury yrecord probably is a key point as we need someone who is reliable which Sakho isnt and someone who isn't going to moan and ruin the team morale if they aren't first team which Sakho does
we go from strength to strength every season don't we ..
So a net spend of 40m wow .
Like i said yesterday i think our squad is ok but that doesnt mean we dont need to strengthen it with some more quality , i will pass my verdict tomorrow night we could still get a good surprise yet ;biggrin
This transfer window is starting to look pretty bad and Carvalho wouldn't save it. Even if Snodgrass and Feghouli underperformed (felt latter was improving though) we're now so thin on those positions and up front. Hernandez has been the only one of our new signings who has so far shown signs of improving us.
If we really have spent that much over the last 5 years
Not sure why you would doubt it, but you can easily check for yourself.
So, either the club are joke because the owners are tight, and won't spend money, or the club are a joke as the owners have spent loads of money but the squad isn't great.
Any players leaving must be replaced immediately with at least a like for like player who can come in and hit the ground running without any bedding in period. Going to be an interesting end to the window; could be some surprising deal done.
IF Palace have made a bid and IF it is accepted and IF Sakho just moves across town, will this not be an indication of a manager/player relationship breakdown, and not the only one? And if this from "football.london" is true, it's hard to argue against.
"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."
Grey, I didn't know that about Chicarito (and others), but isn't that the same as when new players trot out the same old stuff about "always wanted to play here" etc. etc. 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?
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.
;hmm just hope if he does go he goes to France ,don't want him in the prem or we know what would happen .in fact would rather take the 9 mil just so we can see the back of him must be worth 1 mil to us to see him leave the country

. If he is as good as he is supposed to be waiting a month or so is not really a problem we have an international break aswell ;hmm
If we really have spent that much over the last 5 years we are a joke club ending up with such a shambles on the pitch every week.
It doesn't seem to matter who manages this club it always ends up in a complete mess!!
Has anyone got a link to a reputable source (not a gossip page or blog) that can shed the light of fact upon this rumour? ;pray
Sounds like Sakho is trying to do an Odenwinge

From SSN....
TWIST IN SAKHO TALE
Diafra Sakho is expected to leave West Ham having passed a medical at French club Rennes.
But Sky sources understand Crystal Palace have now made a late move for the striker...
What's going on......
"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.
