West Ham pair Freddie Piquionne and Herita Ilunga are ready to sign for Dean Saunders’ ambitious Doncaster Rovers in a loan deal. Piquionne is available after falling out of Sam Allardyce’s plans and is set to join the Championship side. Left back Ilunga is also out of Allardyce’s side since the arrival of George McCartney and will talk to Rovers about joining them on Tuesday. Both Piquionne and Ilunga want to play to put themselves in the shop window and Saunders plans to bring them into a side that has picked up seven points in three games since he took over. Saunders is still negotiating with free agent El Hadji Diouf and as he aims to turn around Rovers' season and drag them into the play-off positions.
Think Saunders means business. He's grabbed the bull by the horns and seems to be rapidly turning things round at pikeytown. Showing real drive and enthusiasm.
Don't run before you can walk mate! Remember Jermaine Johnson going on about promotion when Irvine came in, ha ha ha
That Ilunga is terrible Well from the few games i've seen of him anyway. Remember him playing against us for West Ham a few years ago, and he was dreadful, couldn't beat his man and far too often got caught out upfield leaving a gaping hole at the back. Piquionne though should be a decent signing for them.
