Can anyone confirm what Alex Crook (terrible journalist in my opinion - who thinks he is a superb one) said on the radio.

He claimed Todibo and Alvarez are both refusing to play for West Ham, also claimed Wan-Bissaka failed to turn up for pre season photos. He also claimed someone else in there but I forget who it was - that will come to me.

I have reservations because it came from him (and talkrubbish).

The article I read suggested Diouf's attitude was questionable. Not sure if that's who he was referring to.

Yup. This has been in the news for weeks.

Diouf acting up in training.
Alvarez and Todibo refused to play.
AWB also hasn't turned up for training or photos since Pre-Season started.

Magassa is at least staying professional, but wants out.

Who do these guys think they are.... A big part of the reason we're in this league.

Brentford are on the up, of course, Diouf wants a piece of that.
I'll chuckle when he sends his first cross into Row Z & chops down an opponent in the penalty area.

40m for a good cross now and then, some pace, and occasionally not making defensive mistakes.
Bite their hands off and run.
