Admin Ian M Posted June 25, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Rather this than Dicko. But I'd have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Now this is a signing to get excited about & to get the supporters imagination doing overtime. He would certainly give us a much needed lift in terms of lifting the ability in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Is there an ACON tournament next year? I would guess at no due to the World cup but could well be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 If this happens it will be an outstanding signing. He's been on my hypothetical ideal transfer target list since last year when he was doing exceptionally in Ligue 2. Will definitely cope with the physicality of the championship. What I will say though is LJ said he expected big things from Djuric next season, him and Diedhiou aren't the same style of striker but neither are exactly speedsters so will be interesting to see how involved Djuric is.

I would imagine that Djuric will be used for his pure physical size & heading ability & the hope would be Diedhiou would be used to feed off the scraps? Along with a bit of much needed better supply from out wide, we could actually pose a threat going forward and not just from one player. That would make us a lot harder to defend against which would be a huge positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Djuric and Diedhiou would be able to cover the same amount of ground or be mobile enough to cover the spaces when attacking, like Taylor did for the 2nd goal vs QPR for example. For me it leaves Djuric on the bench as first impact sub and we're gonna be playing with Diedhiou and Taylor. For me Diedhiou can be as effective holding the ball up as Tammy was. Whether he can get 20 goals we'll have to wait and see. He's certainly a big lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diedhiou looks like he's got the pace, definitely from his YouTube clips he can step it up a gear when needed. 6ft 2 also, so if him and Djuric are both upfront together we'll have a very physical presence in the final third. Diedhiou to me looks very much like Kodjia, best thing is he's only 24. Could be one hell of a signing should we pull it off. If we can get Dicko as well as this guy, we'll be more than alright for strikers next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Never seen him play but seems to come highly rated. Good age and size and would be an exciting signing. Would be delighted with him and Dicko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 He's definitely not got the same pace as Kodjia. Jimmy was lightning. He's way more physical than Kodjia. Will score headers for fun and will be able to handle even the big centre backs of the division. This is a seriously exciting signing if it goes through.

Maybe this confirms Wilbraham is off if we're going to have two physical strikers in the side. If we get Dicko too (alongside Taylor and Engvall) it's quite a nice mix of styles.

We'd get murdered playing like that. We need 2 in central midfield if we're playing 2 up top. Tomlin doesn't work hard enough and Patto and (to a lesser extent) O'Dowda aren't good enough defensively to cover for one holding player But excited by the idea of Diedhiou, looks to be Kodjia 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djuric & Diedhiou together would mean that opposition defenders would have more than their fare share of issues, most teams tend to have one dominant aerial ball winner & one a bit more adept on the floor but if we have two players of 6ft plus who can physically handle themselves & win a header, it will cause opposition defenders more of a problem as they'll struggle to deal with two dominant big lads & Diedhiou certainly seems to have a turn of speed that will offer him another threat. I'd hope that our previous dealings with Angers may put us in good stead with regards to knowing that they can trust the way we carry out our business & can help to get this deal done.

Shtanley Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Be interesting to see the fee, wouldn't be surprised to see a club record. Personally I don't think we'd need Dicko now. I like Diedhiou and Taylor as a pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true I just hope we have a ridiculously high sell-on clause set as there will undoubtedly be one after the success of the JK deal & any such clause could allow to keep such a player for longer than one year unlike with JK.
