stewiek2 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) IF and that is a big IF we sign Diawara then that is a massive statement from the club. A player who is signed from a league where defensive awareness is a must, and with 3 huge Italian clubs interested, is a very impressive move from the club and a big statement of intent from the owner. Every major club in the local area is owned by the Chinese now, yet we are the only club spending. Guess the question of Chinese government interest has been answered. We are spunking dollar whilst other chinese are buying clubs locally to gain faour yet arent spending as they don't have the president and family as chums. We get promoted and we could seriously be backed by some disgustingly majr funds if €17m in the championship on a raw talent is anything to go by!

Just can't see a player who's so well sought after coming to us in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Yikes. That'd be one hell of a statement. If we can also get Jedinak, Bamford and another in, we will be set up for a good season. Those two opening losses really sped things up. Edited August 14, 2016 by DK82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Would Jedinak, Diawara, De Laet, Bamford and Morrison be a bit too much to ask for? @villa_southerner what's the skinny yo? Edited August 14, 2016 by StanBalaban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree that it would be a HUGE statement you don't really explain very well why this indicates government involvement? Can't it just be that Tony is exactly who he says he is? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonkertonk Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Diawara just isn't happening, sorry. We seem to get this every year, we are linked with someone ridiculous and it never happens (I am deliberately being overly negative in the hope that I get it drastically wrong and everyone can say "haha, I told you so").

I personally have absolutely nothing to say other than if we sign him I'm going to go spastic purely on the basis that we're going balls deep. And that excites me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) People on twitter saying that Diawara looks to be going to Juventus. Can't actually find what they're basing it on though. Edited August 14, 2016 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd fancy them to give it a go at least. I agree with you that by the end we will be in such a position. Whether it's enough for promotion I don't know, this is a long hard league season. But I'm feeling more and more confident by the day and I'm expecting playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
