Although it has become clear over the last few hours that Diafra Sakho could be on his way from West Ham in the summer, his recent behaviour on Snapchat may be easier to understand than many consider.
Top ITK ExWHUEmloyee has confirmed ClaretandHugh’s story of earlier in the day that a move is very much on this summer.
We quoted our own top source as saying that “somebody somewhere may be trying to engineer a move for him” and Ex adds that “a move has potentially been lined up for him.”
However, Sakho’s outburst on snapchat was troubling, although may be explained by personal circumstances which many would have trouble handling.
We have been told that
the social media message posted on Friday was a private matter and not aimed at Bilic or West Ham in any way whatsoever. This has been confirmed with Sakho’s agent confirming the same to Sky Sports.
It is known that Difra Sakho lives alone in Emerson Park, Essex in a £3m home away from his former partner and daughter who remain in France.
He had told the Daily Express earlier last year:“Of course my daughter misses me and I miss her. But we are on Skype all of the time and I try to chat to her. We are still both adapting – both her and me – to the situation. She is not that far away and she does come to visit frequently, which makes me very happy of course.
“But when I lived with my mother when I was growing up, my father did exactly the same thing. He went off to earn money for the family.
“My dad was away from home all the time. He was a bus driver between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. I effectively grew up without my father.
“My dad would come back once a month or two but as a family we accepted it and it did not mean he did not love us. On the contrary, he did all of this because he did love us. That was the path that he showed us. He helped us a huge amount and we were always grateful for that.”
Friends of the striker say he is lonely and has found it difficult to make friends in this country. Meanwhile, he yesterday posted a photo on Snapchat of his daughter arriving at an airport so possibly he has been given some time off to be with her.
In another twist his former girlfriend, Mya Hassan gave birth to a girl two weeks ago. Mya was dating the West Ham striker until he allegedly assaulted her, caused criminal damage and sent malicious communication which led to him to be arrested by the Metropolitan police twice though he denied those claims after he was released.
A spokesman for the player said at the time: “Diafra Sakho has not been charged with any offence.He vigorously denies the allegations that have been made against him, and has given the police a complete explanation of events. He will not be making any further comment.”
His former girlfriend recently posted pictures of her new daughter with balloons saying ‘Sadia Sakho’ suggesting he believes Diafra Sakho is the father of her child.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the entire affair it must be a tough time for the Senegalese striker.
He has our sympathies – loneliness itself is a killer – never mind the other problems.
Not a juicy enough story Sean,lol.The gossips are looking for fights at the training ground,him having an affair with another players wife or acting like a diva.A sensible reason for him being off colour at the moment just doesn’t work for them,lol.As it happens I had a lad born by my ex about 6 weeks after we split,never saw him for 3 months & it was one of the worst times of my life.So if this is part of his issues I feel for the guy I really do.
Definitely not a juicy enough story for some of our fans Bill.Not enough of the drama queen element in it they desire,lol.Nothing to chomp their gnashers about for the rest of the day,lol.Hope Diafra can get his head straight if this is part of his problems.Don’t understand why the gossips are talking so much about this supposed walkout at the ground,surely this is all part of his non-appearance last week at the store.It’s all tied in together is it not.Anyway Good Luck to the kid,I ain’t going to rip him apart based on rumours!
Been reading Ex Whu Emps take on it.What an absolute load of garbage he writes.Everything with him is ‘I know but can’t say’,’ i will leave you to work out who I mean’ ,’I will tell you at a later date’.The geezer is a total wind up & always has been.Wtf people put so much stock in what he says is a mystery.
I don’t know Sakho personally but I have the feeling he is one who needs to have an arm around him and needs to believe he is loved. When that happens, the return is immense. Just watch last year and this season before he got injured. He would sweat and give his life for this club. And just look back at his celebrations each time he scored.
I have the impression he has personal problems going on. Unfortunately it has spilled on the job part of his ife, but this is where Bilic and the club come into play to support him. Unless there is more and worse to it than we know (i.e. fights with team mates etc).
I see it as more likely to be personal problems.I’m sure with a helping hand he can be steered in the right direction.Hopefully without too much damage done by the gossipmongers.
It is a whole load of nothingness Exile.What I find most humourous is that he keeps on about the ALLEDGED issue.What it actually means is that he is talking ******** but if he covers his butt with ALLEDGED he can write anything.People think he is ITK but he actually hasn’t written anything we didn’t know before or couldn’t surmise ourselves.I heard that Adrian jumped up & down in front of Sakho laughing at him for being dropped ALLEDGEDLY,lol
The fans have shown him nothing but love and affection since he has been at the club,we gave him his big chance and made sure money would never be a problem again,
If like some he is home sick and hates life in London he needs to just talk to the club explain his situation and the club can plan with him for his transfer or help resolve his personal problems if possible,
One a joint club player statement should come out and everyone else involved with the club leave it alone to reach a result,
I like him as a player and before this week would have picked him as my first choice but if he has to go he will pull in a massive transfer profit,
Where ever he goes he will never be given a true promise of first choice so if that’s what he wants all he has to do is buckle down and show Slav he is number 1
Hope you get it sorted Diafra and would love to see you still in our shirt next year
Bang on boys.Love the fact we are ment to be the Rabid Dogs but it is some of the Wetpants that have been on him like a pack of Rabid Hyenas.Most of the replies I have read on here have been a lot more thoughtful than their thoughtless over reactions.Guess it shows that being more intelligent don’t make ya more thoughtful 😉
Well one can only hope if he has personal issues he doesn’t go on WHTID to read a headline calling him a Diva.That is really going to make him feel better about the club & fans!!
Think they should stick to statistics not compassion towards others,haha 🙂
End of the day none of the fans on sites know the truth or facts right now as it stands so what is the point of tearing him a new asshole.No one knows he thinks he is bigger than the club,no one knows he is causing problems in the squad.It’s all just rumour & gossip.F#ck me if fans want to lynch him let’s at least have the truth or some truth in it first.I mean proper tuth,not some article in a newspaper or tweet,lol.
We all have a tendency to forget, these players are real people who have lives outside football and so, just like us they have crises to deal with, all of which can affect their play but which we are not always aware of.
A suggestion. Before we slate them for an off game maybe we should pause and ask ourselves,” did you never have a bad day and how well did you handle the last crisis in your life”
Yeah you are right actually Chaz,think we are all guilty of treating them robots sometimes.
*like robots.
I can’t remember him being slated ever,it’s why I comment on the scores players get after games,some are so harsh that players would be offended if they saw them,
Some of the points out of ten that were given by the Mirror on Saturday games were laughable and you wonder if the person giving them actually watched the game,
I hope our brilliant intelligent manager sits down with Sak and sorts it out if it can be,
If it’s an agent ITS NOT JUST MONEY HELP YOUR MAN DONT FUKC HIM FOR YOUR CUT,
that’s my last word on this subject I hope it goes away as fast as it arrived
