    Sakho has said loves the fans but wants out?

    What the heck was David Gold tweeting yesterday then?

    What is going on??
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    incredible. Where did you hear the Sakho is going to the 3.20 race because of his advisor. Sounds like a massive Wind Up but I'm too roped in.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    From Sky quoting Sakho direct
    “I have had a frustrating time for the past couple of seasons, I want a fresh start to get back to France, I have no issues with the West Ham fans but I want to leave now”
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    If they don't let him go, you all know that he will be injured in a few games time and won't be seen again until July, when he will sign on a free for some French team.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Relying on Sakho and Carroll ;lol said at the beginning we needed to move Sakho off and get in 2 strikers. Got 1 in and looks like 1 is back to going AWOL. Always needed that second striker XD

    Nay, even clowns have rules and some honour. What is Sakho showing? I think it is time to cut losses and be shot of him.

    We will struggle to get any decent player to come in as we evidently have a manager who is in the last chance saloon as far as his job goes. Another poor overall window looms
  • HuttonhammerHuttonhammer
    So we have loaned one of our best academy players for the season to Sheffield united!!
    Do our board have any understanding of the fans?

    Yea tbf I don't blame em like the kid is 17 and you look at him he's tiny, needs to put on a couple pounds at least before he's gonna make a real impact

    Holland and the new fella are ahead of him as adam says
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer

    Let it go. It's history. Sheffield have a new co-owner and a new chairman.

    Cheers Sakho

    Unconfirmed reports Sakho is now riding Siege of Boston back across the channel.
  • NEoldironNEoldiron
    If the problem with Sakho is because he's not being picked in favour of ANother, here's a thought; Valencia and Sakho played well together and were knocking in the goals-why not Sakho and Chicarito up front?
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    I'm guessing because the relationship has broken down and SB feels the others are worth the starting spot

    Even though I dislike the behaviour of Sakho and want him gone, I'd of started him over Ayew last week

    I think Slav smooths it over with Sakho when he has no other choice then drops him again when he has the resources

    Just my opinion
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    BBC covering that Sakho story now ;doh


    Just thinking about the (sort of similar) Odenwingie thing a few years ago.

    What is the abiding memory ... West Brom was a shambles, or Odenwingie was a twonk?

  • NEoldironNEoldiron
    MrsGrey, you said
    "Let it go. It's history. Sheffield have a new co-owner and a new chairman."

    Thing is, as if often said, it's the fans that make the club. The Blunts fans are still the same, and we were getting masses of grief from them. Personally, I can never forgive Sheffield Utd.

    It's often said, but it ain't necessarily so.

    I'd hate to think that West Ham's existence hinged to any extent on the efforts or otherwise of our section of knuckle -dragging morons. (Not referring to people on here, and not a majority - at least I hope not- but no doubting the club has its share.)
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Resigned to not signing anyone today.

    Except maybe Wilshere as a last minute punt.

    Leaves us very light on the wings and up front, which makes me feel sad.

    A Brighton fan writes....
    Ask what Brighton’s three main priorities for this transfer window were, and the answer would be a striker, a striker, a striker.

    Put simply, there aren't enough goals in them to keep us up. We haven't scored a league goal this season. And that is before the nightmare scenario which has predictably happened of Sam Baldock and Glenn Murray both being injured, leaving Tomer Hemed as our only fit striker.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    same boat as us with regards to strikers then

    Farcical situation we find ourselves in. Nearly everyone here said we needed 2 CF, as we couldn't afford to rely on Sakho or AC being fit and willing to play. So, what happens? We bring in Hernandez, and that's it. Sakho supposedly was over his back problems after his op, but what about his head problems?

    Ridiculously no-one at the club managed to discover at any stage over the summer that Sakho was unhappy enough here to do an Odemwingie, so even if we don't give in to his demands for a move at this late stage, we're still down a CF as there's little chance we'll get any football out of him given his previous behaviour and his latest stunt.

    So effectively we're down to Hernandez, Carroll (who isn't fit and even when he comes back from this injury we know the next one is just round the corner), and Martinez who hasn't even made the bench for a league game this season. I know we only start with 1 up front, but most games the 1 works so hard that he gets subbed so in most games at least 2 CF get game time, and we've only got one fit, senior striker.

    It's all well and good the club coming out and saying Sakho is an integral part of our plans, if he doesn't want to play, then he won't. It beggars belief that our club is so stupid to find ourselves in this situation. He tried to get a move away last summer, it didn't happen, and we hardly got a game out of him all season. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. DS should be feeling pretty damn ashamed of himself. Absolutely ridiculous
