Kevin Nolan has given his thoughts on Issa Diop and didn’t tale long to do so!
The former Hammers skipper was asked to sum up his thoughts on Diop in 10 seconds on made it clear why he was being hunted and watched by various big clubs.
“Quality, that’s the reason why all the top clubs were talking about buying him in the summer,” said Nolan on Football Centre (10:56am, Tuesday, September 24th).
“He’s been a great buy and has slotted in really well next to Ogbonna.”
France Football reported that in the summer Manchester United offered up two players in order to tempt West Ham into selling the central defender and Arsenal too were and why Arsenal also became involved in a battle to get get involved in signing him.
Well we don’t need to lose too much sleep over big clubs chasing our defenders after tonight’s performance. That is a positive. But there might be other reasons to lose sleep.
The overwhelming negative effect on Young Talents in Our ranks (like Diop), after a sound beating by a mid table 3rd tier side is of the gravest concern !… Don’t want to overreact but after 55 yrs support, results like the other night makes us vulnerable to having Player’s heads turned, and rightly so
