joeyt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 So United linked with a move for Diafra Sakho at West Ham - a player who probably won’t get pulses racing on Tyneside but who would fit the bill of the kind of target Benitez is looking at in this loan window. He has some really exciting targets - at least one England international has been discussed - but at the moment with doubts about his budget, he’s looking for players he knows he should be able to afford. Loans may not be as expensive as permanent deals but there’s still substantial fees to pay along with wages and other financial considerations. So someone like Sakho probably comes in the more affordable bracket. He may not be a big hitter but players like him will offer Benitez another option and that’s what he’ll be looking to do in January: stock up his squad, give himself a chance to play in a different way and hopefully add players with some Premier League experience.

Stifler Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Loan bid for Sakho from West Ham rejected This says to me the takeover is far from ‘done’ You have to remember that the Chronicle get their information from agents, not the club. The agents will feed as much bullshit information out there as they can to draw people out. Sacks clearly wants out of West Ham and West Ham appears to be want rid as well. Telling Ryder and his mates that we have had a loan bid rejected for him will be an attempt to smoke out a club who are interested in him and would be willing to pay a transfer fee that West Ham want. I double check the scores the Chronicle print, never mind transfer and takeover news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looks like Ashley won’t spend any money this window apart from loan fees. He’s just gonna roll the dice on relegation again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
