Everybody knows I’m a Diafra Sakho fan. I believe him to be a much more difficult striker to face than Andy Carroll with greater and more subtle talents. However, the current “issues” surrounding his continuing absences are confusing and unacceptable and need a very rapid explanation which I believe only he can give. There is […]
