That reserve from Leicester was shit wasn’t he?
To be fair Barnes had two very successful loan spells including at Championship level so there was always something there with him.

At the time the view was “why are we signing a Leicester reserve?!? Why aren’t we giving Leko a chance?!?”
In conclusion: Might be wise to wait and see if they’re any good before complaining.

Diangana has already played in the 1st team at West Ham. He's very highly rated and they tied him down to a 6 year contract last year, certainly no mug.

And certainly no chance of signing him permanently also.

Centre back Ajibola Alese and attacking midfielder/winger Grady Diangana
So Plan F in operation
These are extra to us trying to get another forward and shouldn't cost us too much. WHU want full wages paid plus a loan fee for both but we're still discussing the loan fee with them as we're not in agreement.
Diang was 1st team towards the end of last season & is rapid. He would be great & he would tear up the champ I am certain.

Less chance of them recalling in Jan tho. I would prefer him to Pereira.
Played in 17 games in Prem last season for West Ham. A season in the champ to really make his mark could be just what he needs.

Very good prospect who Bilic knows well. If we are going to loan youngsters then this is the sort you want who know the whole coaching team well and will easily settle in.
Makes total sense to me. It would also signal the Periera deal is dead.
Leaves us more money to throw at the striker situation.

He featured fairly regularly for West Ham last season. We have to recognise our current standing.

Fair enough chaps. I've probably got my bar set too high. I was hoping for one or two permanent deals. If Slav wants them then I'll back him.
