MEDICAL: One wonders how much Messrs Sullivan & Gold knew about Sakho's apparent medical issues. If they did, off-load to an unsuspecting club and walk away with £16m and leave that club with an uninsured problem. The simple fact he wasn't taken, or didn't want to go, on the West Ham pre-season tour gives a clue.
ATTITUDE:
Even if they were not aware of any medical issues, they certainly would have known about his attitude and his 'falling out' with Bilic and again off-load with a hefty transfer fee to lumber that club with a Odemwingie/Berahino 'spit out the dummy' player.
DUE DILIGENCE:
Thankfully, although it could surely have been handled far quicker weeks ago when our interest in the player was first muted, we at least we haven't caught a cold and wasted a huge amount of money.
The whole saga stinks on both sides and as fans, we deserve an in depth explanation. As for next season, we are in trouble - one Championship signing, no full backs, no pace or attacking midfield skill added. Again, we will be left with the dregs and outspent by the Vile and the Dingles. As for the reported takeover, well that's another story.
Typical Albion.
