Oh Dimi that was bad news for us Irons!

Iron of the year

I suggested in my first ‘write’ of this piece mmediately after the match that Slav’s body language on ITV after the match as he commented on Dimi’s winner for the French aganst Roumania was anxious and worried?

Most of those commenting on the forum reckon believe I was wrong.

I have to accept that and maybe I am being unduly pessimistc  but whilst with all my heart I hope that’s the case I believe it would be fantasy land to believe other clubs aren’t watching and that bids wil emerge.

I  have feared – like most of you – this or something like it – would happen. Of course I’m pleased for Dimi that he produced such a magnificent performance. He is a truly wonderfl player and, I’m told, a fabulous bloke.

But his man of the match performance was the worst possible news for West Ham United although in checking this sort of scenario out prior to the tournament I was told categorically he cannot leave – if that’s what happens – for less than £50-£60 million.

It was a fantastic performance! One brilliant assist and one incredible goal to which we have all become accustomed but is surely bound to draw more attention than we would want.

I want Dimi to remain at this club until retirement …I believe he can become one of the greatest legends the club has ever had…I aso want him to calm down at Euro 2016 a bit!
