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
Ok maybe not less reliable but it's worth noting that at least salho injury was consistent and we knew it was going to keep him out for most of the season
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
If what Gold is now saying is true, why on earth was Sakho in Rennes having a medical. Either he's for sale or he's not or is it common now that players can take medicals wherever they want on the off chance they may get a move.
Assuming for a minute that Ex is genuinely ITK, it looks like we're in for a slow day tomorrow.
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.

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.
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

If true we will then have a sulky sakho on our hands who we will wish we sold.
