David Sullivan has joined David Gold in uttering the words we have been waiting to hear: Diafra Sakho is going nowhere” – full stop!

The chairman – who was responsible for bringing the striker to the club during the Allardyce era – has been watching media events unfold and has joined Gold in telling  CandH exclusively that the 27 year old only has future this season – at West ham United.

Theered a double whammy via ClaretandHugh which are now bound to ward off any more hopeful bids from the likes of Crystal Palace and Rennes whose guns have been well and truly spiked.

Having nursed the player back to health after his injury woes the chairman broke his silence to tell us from a holiday retreat: It’s daft to me, with 24 hours of the window left, to sell a proven striker we have taken a year to get right. He is going nowhere.”

That has now ended a saga which has dominated the Hammers scene all day – it now remains to be seen how the player reacts!

    More to the point, will he actually return?
    The blokes a sandwich short of a picnic, and nothing would surprise me with him?

    Meaningless words, the same was said about Payet, if a player wants to go then they will. We need a fit and willing Sakho but I am not sure he is either of those things I think he is trouble maker and a basket case.

  • JRS says:

    Needs to be played of front w Chicarito and he might be happy if Bilic leaves.

  • Richie says:

    This really is icing on the cake. What a joke we have become. I thought the board kept banging on about how important Sakho was when fit, so has he fallen out with bilic? We need to be sticking together, bilic has lost the plot to fall out with our second best striker. Sakho and Hernandez should play up top simple

  • Vic says:

    Everything is Bilic’ fault or Sullivans fault in the fans of webworlds minds.

    • johnham1 says:

      Apparently Bilic told Sakho he is 4th choice striker – if that is to be true, there is only one nut case and it is not Sakho. Bilic is clueless as was shown with his negative team selection at the weekend. Everyone wants to see Sakho to start up top and Hernandez in either a 10 or up top with Sakho. Who would I prefer to stay – Sakho all day long, I have been a big fan of Bilic but his time is up.

        Yes , agree johnam ! Bilic doing more harm than good it seems 😎 all round !!
        Everything going nicely then the shyte hits the fan ? Obviously something has been said ? 😉

    • Richie says:

      Bilic was meant to be a good man manager – sounds like that’s also gone out the window

  • Lazurus. rises like a salmon says:

    Exactly what he said , up front with the pea !!! As a 2 !!

  • hammers64 says:

    Full of bluster at Sullivan and Golds circus of delights.What else have this pair of clowns got in store for us over the next 24 hours.?

  • Slam Dunk says:

    People will believe what suits their agenda to tear apart SuGo and Bilic..its a kanagroo court.

  • Some have been deleted – either keep the language clean, the abuse down or go to full time moderating – cheers

  • Pleaase be very careful from here on. I’ve asked politely in the past. If it goes on – as I’ve just noticed and deleted – comments will be turned off for three weeks.
