A week is a long time in football; this time last week we were still celebrating a vital 2-0 win over Cardiff City and the potential signing of Lacina Traore.
Seven days later, we are cursing a poor result and performance against Newcastle United and a missed opportunity regarding the Traore situation.
West Ham have missed out on the Monaco striker to another team – believed to be Premier League rivals Everton.
Sam Allardyce spoke out about why the deal for the Ivorian fell through, he said: “I had a terrible day yesterday when I found out that one player I thought was signing for us wasn’t,” he said.
And on the question of obtaining a work permit, he added: “They [Everton] can apply for a work permit like we did, they have to do a second application. Obviously if we got it they know they can get it.”
Would rather be in London or Liverpool! That’s the?
