Had a meal with a couple of French families last night and we started talking football. I asked them their opinion of Diedhiou. They didn't know who I was talking about or who he was.

Red Army 75 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Obviously our record breaking signing has brought a lot of attention from rival fans on social media. And some of them really are bitter. How can Bristol city spend that sort of money. Bristol city wasting 5 million on a shit player I've never heard of. Amongst others . Bitter fools do some research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reference was for the confirmation of the deal, not the possibility of us signing him. If The Bristol Post had their 'man on the inside', they would have known that the deal was going to be confirmed at 10:30ish & as they ran a headline story of our away kit with a Oxford label in it, I would of thought the breaking of our transfer record would of been reported on sooner than an hour or so later than most other places. It's ok, I'm no apologist for the Post, far from it! It just made me smile that your post prompted me to wonder which OTIBer had first flagged this up as a potential transfer target, so I went back to look, only to find...!! Not trying to make any more of it, and I'm sure you're right they don't have the inside knowledge they once had, or at least if they do they can't keep up with the speed of modern day media!

Midlands Robin Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Fantastic signing and looks like he has plenty of potential. The only small draw back is that he could disappear for 4 or 5 weeks in the new year to attend the African Cup of Nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as much as Stockhausen got stick on here, at least he was a 'reporter' who did have his contacts at the club & he did 'report' on some things as they broke. Since he's gone, they seem to very much get their information from here or social media (Twitter / Facebook / Snapchat etc) & they've become somewhat of a copy & paste rag now, rather than any real reporting being done anymore.

The very first post about Diedhiou was from someone else on another thread, I think L'Equipe was the source. The Bristol Post ran an article after seeing the rumours here and elsewhere, that article was picked up on by the OP of this thread, who then made this thread.

Considerably lower I would suggest. Could well be. Vast majority of those top 25 transfers have happened since 2015 and the top 8 transfers were all over £10m! In the round I still think £5.3m is a lot of money on one player at this level and I can only assume the club are very confident that this bloke is the real deal. Score around 20 goals in his first season and look the part and in the current climate he's a £20m player by next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or compare with Kodjia who had 32 in 114 for some even worse teams before we bought him. If he carries on scoring at the rate he has done over his career so far for us he'll get 16+ goals this season. That would place him in the top 7 goal scorers in the league. But yeah sure take a pop at the guy before he's even played a minute for us. Jesus wept... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Not sure if it's been mentioned but it's great that he can speak English. It's not perfect and I hope the club can still help him learn but at least there won't be any barriers like there were with kodjia, I'd imagine Moore will be his roommate and Mags will be Pisanos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
