Diabaté Signs

[GaelicFox]

Class act 

 

what a signing 

[smr]

Class player. If Mahrez leaves im more than happy for Diabate to fill the role. Wouldnt mind seeing him in a sprint against vardy. Looks lethal fast. Superb technical ability on the ball. What a signing we may have got here!!

[ARTY_FOX]

Vardy with Gray Mahrez and diabate behind him could be interesting... 

[Farrington fox]

According to ole wingnut on motd, Diabate is Mahrez’s replacement, who is off. Apparently. 

Would like to add, that was one hell of a debut, actually, league 1 opposition or not!

So disrespectful to Leicester especially Saying Mahrez will go for £40-50 million !!! Are people taking the piss in today’s market? Or is it because it’s little old Leicester that we should sell him for half what a Liverpool type club would ask for him? 

[Farrington fox]

I know, that’s what I thought! The idiots!

I don’t know what worse the fact they keep banging on about Mahrez or vardy leaving or they greatly undervalue our players. despite being much better than ones that have moved on for a lot more

Unbelievable isn’t it. They can’t help themselves but to try and devalue or put down our club in one way or another

Bye Bye Musa you fraud.

Not sure what it has to do with musa? I know it was only Peterborough (no disrespect) but I think we have took huge steps towards the impossible. We may just have found a Mahrez replacement.

[notnow john]

He's played one very good game against a division 2 side,he's horribly one footed  and 

premier league players will work him out in no time.

Hes a work in progress anyone who thinks he can step straight into Riyad's shoes is deluded!

 

[Legend_in_blue]

His debut was better than Mahrez's.  Having watched the highlights back again just now, I'm even more impressed.

Still hoping next 4 days pass with no bids for RM

We have no reason to sell, it isn’t happening... summer yes if 150m comes in  but honestly we aren’t selling mid season that would be pathetic

Good start, he looks promising. Hopefully he has confidence now to put it into the games in the big league and he can carry on this good start and put in a few good performances from now to the end of the season. Excited for this lad.

Yes, looks real natural talent with pace as well

Pace, handles the ball well. He knows when to pass and when to shot, also showed strength and determination ... like he has been here forever

We should just buy all our players from there haha 

[Blue ROI]

A very accomplished debut. Was excited that he and a few 'outsiders' were starting but didnt expect it to be so dazzling.

 

I know theres the example of Schlupp and Dodoo but our status now means a debut like today cant go unnoticed.

 

He had nothing to lose going into today and was a revelation. Linked up well with those around him, pacey, comfortable on the ball and not far off a hat trick.

 

We love a moan on FT but it's great that we're all optimistic after witnessing something like that.

Yeah and guess what league we would end up playing in the EFL?

France truly is a great place for a bargain isn't it. There's a massive number of French players playing abroad as well. They've clearly got an excellent coaching set up over there.

I actually didn’t believe that is what we should do, just agreeing because we got Mahrez for a bargain and diabate seems like another quality buy

For all the praise heaped on the German underage sysytem France has gone unnoticed over the years.

 

Hazard, Mahrez, Kante etc. Churned out a lot of talent.

It seems the players we get even the French don’t know who they are haha

he didn't look this impressive. diabate's all around game is much better

That's the crux of it for me. Think Joe Dodoo as well. I remember being dead chuffed for him the night he got his hat-trick against Bury, but I don't think he actually looked that good, if that's possible.

 

Diabate looked really naturally gifted to me. Quick, skillful, agile, intelligent, and took his goals well (first in particular, fourth is a mile offside ).

 

Don't want people to expect too much from him but he looked really, really good earlier. I'd say it was a better debut than Musa, Wood or Dodoo.

I don't understand why to be fair young players like Diabete, then Knockaert and Mahrez never got bought by any of the lower/mid table teams in Ligue 1 and get given a chance?? Weird how they never were circled as prospects but two have gone on to have either excellent or good careers in English football and we may have just seen the start of another one.

They probably don’t look down there for players which is good for us... our scouting network has worked great for the last few years when it comes to bringing in lesser known players... seems it is the big deals we don’t get right haha. Ndidi and Maguire being our best signings over 15 million... silva could come in that bracket as well though.
