    sorry i have to say if we really did have a chance of getting rid of one player this window for 9m it should have been Sakho , he clearly doesn't want to be here

    All that will happen now is he will sulk and sit in the reserves and refuse to play
    causing more problems for the manager all this didnt need to happen

    But i guess its what we have come to expect from our owners .

    SSN reporting he hasn't turned up for training today.

    Shocker...

    I think we need to get rid but not (imho) to a fellow PL struggling club.

    Stopped reading the C+H article on Sakho as soon as I read "Sakho got the hump when Ayew was selected ahead of him for the game at Newcastle given, presumably, the goal and assist which led to us entering the next round of the League Cup. Understandable – so would I have done, and I reckon most any one reading this would too"- As though these past 2 season of perpetual injuries have no consideration on his availability to start in the PL. He has missed alot of football. He still isnt fit enough to play wed-Sat. For all Ayews fault he has had a full pre-season and played alot, thus why he starts an important game. Simple. Always understand C+H and ExWHU is often just opinion pieces with some leaked stuff thrown in to boost their egos.

    As for today. I think we need more than previously thought. I'd like to see:- Adama Traore, Wilshere and Lucas Perez. Maybe if an outstanding deal comes up we can go for it from the Carvalho transfer kitty.

    Yes we're thin as a squad but get the fitness and tactics right we will do ok
    imo not sure that Slav will last September out though .

    If Batshuayi is genuinely available for loan and Everton are interested we shpuld try to make the deal a priority it's pretty low risk

    Would love to Gazump Swansea for Renato Sanchez he may not be a DM but he's an exceptional talent and probably superior to all of our current centre midfielders none of who have impressed

    Jota for £6mil seems a pretty low risk buy and will cover for Lanzini

    We could easily do with 3/4 players today but I feel we will get none as mentioned

    Can you imagine losing to Huddersfield. Bilic and the Daves will get ripped apart. They need a miracle to happen today in the transfer market and Bilic to pull something out the bag or the London Stadium will ring out 50,000 boo's.

    - and yet another player rushes to the exit door following Payet, Snodgrass and Co.

    You seem to have forgotten that Sakho wanted to leave for West Brom last summer, having thrown a super sulk when Carroll was preferred to him for the Arsenal match in April 2016. He hasn't rushed for the door, he's been shuffling in that direction for over a year!
    Hammerdublin said:

    And why wasn't he picked to play against Newcastle?

    Because Sakho is a striker, Slav plays with a lone striker and Hernandez is better than Sakho

    we are soon to be the new Birmingham city , i have never understood why
    we have never had a billionaire come in and buy the club we could be up there
    with city and Chelsea with the right owners instead we seem to have moved to a massive stadium but being run like a championship club .

    just saying ..

    Fixed it for you.

    Lost in translation?

    Even Snoddy thinks he hears Slav say "where would you like to play" before being subbed on

    Perhaps we need to invest in some translators?

    Yeah, but Snoddy thinks he played on the left against Citeh. I think we just need to invest in more intelligent players.

    Or at least players who can tell right from left.

    I see the OS has Terry Westley bigging up Martinez, comparing hin to Harry Kane.

    Think it's safe to say we're not signing a striker today.
  • tomkinsworldclasstomkinsworldclass
    Alex Song supposedly going to to join harry at Birmingham! quite remarkable and sad at the same time (only 29)
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Remember when we chose him over Kante ;lol
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    ;lol

    It's ok to knock players like Sakho, Snodgrass Payet etc the list goes on but to me the whole club is a complete and utter mess and that is being replicated on the pitch.
    We need somebody to take charge soon or we are going to just completely collapse into relegation fodder.

    Everton reportedly in for Arsenal's Perez on loan.

    We should be all over that, IMO.

    They were after him last summer then arsenal came in at the last minute to snatch him away! funny how things work out but hes a good player, done well whenever he has played for arsenal so his treatment from Wenger has been bizarre. Excellent record in La Liga.

    We will sign nobody and then the Daves will be all surprised when we end up near the bottom come April.

    In talks with Gomes and Wilshere, apparently, although Gomes likely to go to Spurs.

    SAKHO LATEST

    Diafra Sakho will be landing in UK at 2.20pm – but talks with West Ham will have to wait.

    One of his advisers has a horse running in the 3.20 at Chelmsford.

    Plan at the moment is for Sakho and his advisers to go and watch the horse run (Siege of Boston) before going to see West Ham to tell them he wants to leave
    Incredible ;lol
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Worth a fiver?....... Sakho not the horse ;lol
  • alderzalderz
    This made me laugh from a Palace blog on the BBC Deadline Day thread:
    After his heroic efforts on loan last season, Mamadou Sakho would be welcomed back at Selhurst Park, but with the Palace board taking on the role of sole torch holders of financial fair play rules, Liverpool’s £30m price tag will need to reduce
    Goes to show how little we football fans pay attention to the clubs around us
