Sakho: Plot thickens as new interest emerges

|

SakhoWest Bromwich Albion are tonight understood to be poised to make a move for Diafra Sakho.

Agents interested in moving the player on are busily beavering away in the background with the Irons awaiting what they would consider a sensible offer from their south London rivls.

The Hammers are determined to unload the striker but would rather sell abroad than see the striker become a success at a relegation rival.

Palace remain slight front runners although Albion boss Alan Pardew is an admirer and could move in with a bid if he gets the right vibes from agents trying to organise a move to the Hawthorns .

There are also uncomfirmed reports of a Selhurst Park medical but as shown last summer at Rennes, Sakho can have a medical anywhere he likes but the Irons have to agree to any deal regardless and that hasn’t happened at this stage.

The Irons are determined to get £10 million up front with another £5 million in extras and are very hopeful the London Stadium ‘bad boy’ who has served them poorly for months, remain very hopeful he will be on his way before the end of the of the window.

    😂😂 10 mill up front +5 ? But are afraid because he’s such a danger that he may do the business ? Who the fek is saying this tosh ?
    So we want him out but he’s a real dangerouse threat ? Ffs you couldn’t make this up ! Or could you lol😂

    He’ll probably end up going, surprisingly, just before the transfer deadline, leading to the poison dwarf claiming ‘we tried as hard as we could to find a replacement but didn’t have the time’, whilst of course pocketing the money raised for his pension-pot and some shiny new £1700 shoes for junior (who obviously deserves them, as he does work harder than anyone he knows, don’t you know).

      Dave already has a billion which is 1000 x 1,000,000

      I imagine 15 million for Sakho would be like you finding a fiver down the back of the sofa.

        Yet they’ve mortgaged Rush Green to raise some capital🤔

      • Mary Millingtons Ghost says:

        And let’s not forget the 7% interest charged on the debt which rather mysteriously doesn’t appear to be diminishing.

        Pity he didn’t spend some then ? They have plenty but will not spend ! This project isn’t about west ham ! Its about sibling business for the future ! I believe the kids would spend it but until that time comes expect more disappointment , and let’s get it right sully,s big time charlie remarks got the sakho ball rolling ! Not his petty domestic problems from 2 years ago ! But the spotlight is always focused on them swerving the real problem which is The dildo Dave ! Players do drugs and get into altercations in night clubs etc , and never get criticised for it , even the FA forgive coke users don’t they , blown out of the water by sneaks using their PR bull💩 passing the buck !
        Sakho is going and good luck to him but the biggest problem is still at the club !
        The dildo brothers and waynetta slob ! Get em out 😈😈

    Sakho is a liability. He lets down the team with his cant
    be bothered attitude. Moyes has done the right thing by
    putting him on the bench and not playing him. The quicker
    he goes the better for the moral of the club

    It saddens me when people start getting bitter and twisted about someone’s wealth. There is a massive difference between someone’s net worth and the money they have in the bank, available to spend. Learn the difference before you start with the knives.

    Also, West Ham United is not his only business or life interest. He’s entitled to have others, even if West Ham is the only thing in your life.

    Finally, West Ham United is an entity in its own right. It’s a company. It is not David Sullivan. He is a shareholder in that company, but that doesn’t mean he has to sink all of his personal wealth into it. Nobody else does that, so why should he?

    Get off your vicious, moaning, miserable, negative high horse and learn how things work before you start criticising the engineers.

    • crewehammer says:

      Mr Buddy you are a scholar amongst men, couldn’t agree more.

    • Mary Millingtons Ghost says:

      Bitter and twisted about Sully’s personal wealth? No, not in the slightest, good luck to him.
      Withh regard to nett worth. I believe that most of his money is tied up in property, so he may be asset rich-cash poor (relatively speaking)?
      So maybe not a billionaire then (as mentioned above), just very wealthy.
      However it’s the constant chasing of transfer targets that most of us who are not deluded know we won’t get (especially with derisory offers, Carvalho as an example), the persistent chirping of Brady in the press, the seemingly pointless move to the athletics bowl that would take us to the ‘next level’.
      I could go on, but what’s the point. You’re quite obviously happy with the direction the board are taking us in, and that’s your perogative.
      West Ham the only thing in my life? Wrong again. I’m often stationed abroad, and very rarely get to see them, certainly not as often as I’d like.
      I also didn’t think that having a differing opinion was classed as being on a high horse.
      I reserve my abuse for the board and not fellow posters. If I did perhaps I would suggest that if you were to remove your nose from Sully’s arse crack for just a minute, perhaps then you could see where this is all going to end.
      IMHO, of course.

  • Lazurus. rises like a salmon says:

    Maybe he could re- mortgage some wealth then ! Like he does the club,s assets !
    Maybe just do what other billionaires do at the top clubs ! They find a way to do it !
    Totally disagree with you’re comments about wealth !
    No body told him to say he’s taking us to the next level did they ! He put himself on the pedestal didn’t he then bull💩ited his way out of it by saying he didn’t think it would be so difficult ? Really ? Businessmen and woman ? Don’t make me laugh , they sold sex toys in the
    Biggest trade in the world , the thing that keeps the world ticking over , football I’m afraid they are failures at ! Birmingham and now us and its now plain to see ! We were conned and unless they spend big or get lucky they will not survive at west ham ! I don’t begrudge them wealth I begrudge them being a laughing stock at my club and taking us all for mugs ! 😈

    Wba Swansea Newcastle Palace & even Everton keen along w clubs outside PL bc he is a well rounded CF w pace in his prime.
    However I would hate to sell him to relegation rival rather lose a few mil & sell to France then help them & they feel the same
    Sakho also has 2 year extension that can be turned on but then Moyes would have to use him.
    As a player I like Sakho & is liked in dressing to & by kids he helps can bakmw him for wanting to leave w wages & not playing when best choice most times.
    28 now in his prime but been better behaved peob realised doesn’t have much time left to be in this game.
    Really like to see us buy first before we sell given that w have 21man squad.
