Striker told to show he’s worth a new deal

sakho cross hammerDiafra Sakho has been told to show the club he is worth a new deal.

The striker has held talks with the club who have made it clear that if he gets back to the form he has shown at his best, a new deal is there for him.

The Senegal front man has been agitating for an incrrease on his £27k a week deal for months and it’s that which has been at the root of all his problems with the Hammers.

Now however, after further talks with the club it has become clear he has little option but to show his very best form if he’s to land himself  the sort of contract he believes he’s worth.

ClaretandHugh was told: “There’s been a story out there over recent days that he will be playing to get away, that he’s looking for a big offer from another club.

“But in fact we have had talks with Diafra and made it clear that if he starts scoring goals and is back to his best a new deal will be on the table for him

“It’s all in his hands but the club can’t be expected to be offering a player who hasn’t been on the pitch for a long tme new deals. He understands he has to earn it.”

    What a joke.

    I won’t turn up for work for months on end, come back and ask for a pay rise. He deserves nothing.

      Grow up my friend . No one likes their noses being rubbed into the ground . How would you have felt if you had done a more than reasonable job and were then overlooked and taunted with ..this signing …that signing … for mega money when the end result is Zaza ???

    If they’d paid what he was worth then he wouldn’t have wanted to go… you can’t say his worth to the team is only 12% of Payet

    • The Demon says:

      Your arithmetic might be a bit out – “12% of Payet” and “27k a week” puts Payet on £225k a week. I take your point, but not your calculation.

      Absolutely correct but then our wheeler dealer owners wouldn’t have any sensational signing headlines that they seek so much . He should have been offered a new contract and not had his nose rubbed in the s###e
