Antonio / Diang

[SW4Baggie]

Hopefully it wont come to this, and he stays for the entire season. But, if he were to leave, maybe a cheeky bid for Bowen from Hull may be worth a shot?

If he hasn’t signed a new deal, then Bowen and Grosicki would represent a tidy double swoop.

Antonio out til Feb and West ham fans screaming for Diang to be recalled in Jan. Hope this doesn't turn into another Barnes type scenario. 

What's happened to Willock?

If it does, it does - we knew that was a risk when we did the deal.

Willock currently playing in U23s

Seems a strange signing then if he's only come to play u23's. May as well have stayed at Benfica B!

He didn't feature for the U23 the other night vs Reading.

It's inevitable if a player does well. If he was doing a Saido then neither them nor us would want him. Let's just enjoy it while we can and hope those behind the scenes have a plan B.

At least we have 4 months to prepare for the inevitable recall.

We made a loan bid for Gayle and bid £10m for Moron so we have plenty of cash to play with come January to ensure he’s adequately replaced.

We need a striker and a winger to replace Grady in January, even our monitoring department ought be able to find those given 4 months.

There were different circumstances when Barnes was recalled, a manager under pressure etc.  West Ham will be OK.  And I would think they may see Diang achieving something - promotion - as being an important and confidence boosting achievement.  Plus the Bilic factor with West Ham.  No point worrying about it.
