So there you have it -if you hadn’t before – Sak wants out and some of us, including yours truly better suck it up and get on with life.
The inside of Sakho’s head is not a place one would ever want to be. I only mention that because I really don’t understand why he needed to open his mouth.
Do we really care that he wants “a change of environment or that he has had “three wonderful years” (PLEASE) and all the rest of it. Of course not and his decision to get this out there is bewildering.
It’s like my constant reminders that he’s a great player, runs the channels brilliantly, has it all, de da de da de da – nobody cares and those who respond with derision do have a point!
One problem remains mind you – the medical!
As things stand even now he is back on the sidelines after suffering pain from the back and I think it must be more than debatable whether he would pass one with a PL club.
This may account for the “change of environment” of which he speaks in France where medicals are known to be much lighter than in England.
Rennes’ last offer was around £9 million and the Hammers want a minimum of £12 million. In the circumstances that’s a decent deal given he cost us around €4 million.
I truly believe the guy could have been remembered as one of our great strikers had he not been mucked up on an international treatment table and I will miss his obvious ability….but not the ridiculous sulks.
In many respects it feels like a re-run of the Ravel Morrison horror show but I wish the boy every success and hope he gets what he’s looking for.
