Big, young CM... Ticks a few boxes!

[Ablockhoop]

23years old 6ft 1ins professional debut at 21 in 2010. So hes come a hell of a long way in 2 years

Sounds like the club are getting down to serious business...

[Ablockhoop]

sounds like we got some athletic, physical players joining!

I think he could be a gem. OUt of nowhere and could develop into a dominating midfielder. Clip on other thread showed he can run, beat players and finish, and is big and strong.

Could be the next Viera or yaya toure, but i'd settle for another Bouba Diop / Tiote right now.

Heard good things about this Bloke , my cousins boyfriend has been working in France for the last 6 months . Spoke to him last night about him , reckons the bloke is very decent , strong , quick and not bad with his feet . Reckons most big clubs in France been watching him for a while as we know he was On his way to Lyon . Sounds like the Defensive midfielder we need .

SSN reported that TF had laid on a private jet to whisk Diakite over to discus terms but the Mali FA blocked him travelling,so representatives were sent instead.The R's must be keen.
