“Pain free” striker set for return

|

sakhoDiafra Sakho is now pain free and will be ready to make his Irons return after the international break.

The controversial Senegal striker has had a recurring back problem which was created when away on international duty and  led to a big row between club and country.

However, he has not helped himself after seeking a move in the summer before failing a West Brom medical ahead of what would have become a £15 million switch.

Sine then he has been receiving treatment and a club source told us this morning the player will be ready for a return to action after the international break.

It will be a boost for Slaven Bilic who is also looking at an Andy Carroll return during the last week of the month and we were told that Aaron Cresswell is very close behind them.

Sakho is a player however, the club wil monitor interms of attitude and application and may make available in January dependent on his performance levels.

    If he plays well and turns the tide it will be amazing how quickly we forgive him 😉

    His attitude changed when there was far too much talk of signing new strikers . His self esteem and confidence was shot to pieces and I blame West Ham . But now if he can put in a few good shifts and change , West Ham’s attitude , we may well see a rejuvenated Sakho
    He didn’t ask to be injured or semi- rejected ,, that was all down to West Ham ( Bilic ) .
    His behavior off the pitch was , imo caused by getting his head messed up ,, nothing more .

    Yes we need Sakho back big time. I feel sorry for him-made to feel unwanted when we clearly had know one better lined up- On what I have seen sakho is clearly a far better striker than Zaza both in terms of movement and finishing.
    It is all set up for him to make his point but aguero would struggle at present in our side as we simply aren’t creating chances. I do think the bigger pitch is a factor coupled with players working less hard.

    It’s embarrassing for me that we even have to resort to sakho after failing to bring in an upgrade. With his attitude do we think he is really going to do his best to save slaven his job? His record last season was terrible. The only reason he is still with us is because Sunderland decided they didn’t want him after allardyce left to be England boss and West Brom Realised they were trying to buy an unfit player that was bringing a bit too much baggage with him than he really needed.

    Another Bad Steward day at London Stadium, I ask a Steward if i could go to the dugout where my Autistic Son was ( he was with friends) Collecting Autographs, and she refused to let me past, so I told her to use common sense, she still refused so I told her the Old School Steward were so much more ****ing Better than you outta Kinda Garden Stewards, to which she stuck two Fingers up at me, Now normally I would have turned the other Cheek, but the Stewarding at the London Stadium is so Unfriendly. I complained to Herbie an Old School Chief Steward from Upton Park (Formal Complaint) , I expect a bit of understanding but these new Arsenal Supporting Stewards just love to wind up us Cockney Lads, and it needs to be Address properly, David Gold needs to sort this Anti Social Attitude out, – And i did blow a Fuse at the time and Swear, but through Simple anger at not being aloud to collect my Boy – West Ham is a Shambles at this present Moment and i;m one Angry Fan

    If Sakho is the answer then I’m not sure what the question is? Don’t remember any of you boys moaning about us claiming to need more fire power up front last year when he was always unavailable? He isn’t the answer – We are just starting to panic because Zaza isn’t delivering yet.

  • mooro66uk says:

    Didn’t see Caroll or Valencia spitting their dummy out cos we might sign another striker. Why was Sakho so insecure?

  • bubs says:

    Because it’s all about the money and his agent,
    He wanted £50 K per weak min and all around others were getting so much more,
    Then all he was reading was he was not good enough,
    We should have gone for real English forwards to feed off
    The real talent,
