West Ham coach not to drop arrested footballer Sakho

“It can be frustrating because we are competing with sides who don’t have a budget”.

Forwards Andy Carroll and Enner Valencia (both knee) remain sidelined, as does defender Joey O’Brien (hamstring).

In fact, Barton came close to an immediate Premier League return, having not only held talks but also passed a medical with West Ham, as reported by Sky Sports.

Matthew James is the only player injured for the Foxes and they could have new signing N’Golo Kante available after spending the full week training with the squad. What’s very conspicuous is the much higher number of tackles that Bilic’s West Ham made compared to the perceived robustness of Allardyce, with 22 compared to a previous average of 15.5.

After he jokingly stated he was the best player at the ground while working as a commentator during the game between Aston Villa and Bournemouth this weekend, the 32-year-old reveled he had agreed terms with a Premier League side.

Nearly 50 scouts attended the Daggers’ pre-season friendly against Crystal Palace to watch Jones in action.

Since then he has become the second player of the summer – after Dimitri Payet – to move to West Ham for an eight-figure fee but scored an unfortunate own goal on his debut against Astra Giurgiu in the Europa League qualifiers. They said, “Diafra Sakho and West Ham United vigorously deny that they have acted in breach of Federation Internationale de Football Association regulations”. [Getting West Ham promoted] was the biggest job I had done in one season.

West Ham have been heavily linked with Barcelona’s Alex Song on a permanent basis after the Cameroon worldwide spent last year on loan at Upton Park but Barton looks set to replace the Barcelona man.

Two years ago, a 14-year-old Arsenal supporter took to Twitter to urge the club to complete the signing of Mesut Ozil. With 3 dribbles as well as 4 crosses, he created four chances for his team mates and was a live wire throughout the game.

As far as morale-boosting wins go, there can be precious few better ways to kick off a season than to beat Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, but will the Hammers’ feel-good factor last?
