We needed more than that at this stage of the season. A missed chance to get someone in to propel us to greatness You don't always sign a player for the now, sometimes the risk is worth it. And he could be a player for the now for all we know, he's barely had a chance so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 We all see it different. I thought tonight he actually showed 'glimpses' of what he may offer, decent touch and pace. Bear in mind 4th cameo appearance. He must get a proper run, if the club are on the brink of signing him for a club record fee? It still all bit odd that the Bolton striker a few weeks back who ran rings round us was a free signing (Ameobi) and on that showing would you want Diony or Ameobi ?

We should have signed someone for now to take advantage of our position, but we didn’t. To be honest, I don’t really care. I’m happy to be a decent team in the championship.

Pezo Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I can remember Fam not really getting going for about 5 games after a full pre season. I think we may need to wait a couple more games to see a player that will meet expectations, a goal would also do him a massive amount of good.

Ska Junkie Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm in the let's wait and see camp re Diony, he has something about him and WILL come good. Clubs don't pay €9M for the player we've seen thus far and he seems to have all the attribute to be a success here. Once he's used to the English game and gets a bit of confidence, he'll be decent. Can we find him a place in the team though? As for Fammy, I think that was probably one the best performances I've seen from him, really positive. His lung bursting charge back when Fulham counter attacked, just before he came off, was excellent. My MOTM TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose I'm a happy clapper for not thinking he's the worst player ever to play for City. No you’re not a happy clapper, in your first post you explained what he did tonight, whereas done are basing their view on his coming short for a ball and standing on it. It happens. But they are ignoring the headers he won, the control, spin and layoffs on a couple of occasions, and the Fulham defence looking panicky with him bearing down on them. Looked more like the "bull" he described himself as tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 It's far too early to write him off. He's raw and seems erratic but he has enough pace to scare the hell out of defenders and tonight looked like a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 A better performance tonight, good energy and effort, put himself about a bit...needs to find his touch though. Had a good chance but didn't control the ball. Hopefully he'll become more composed and relaxed, looks very panicked when he gets those chances.

Fiale Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Still would have liked to see Engvall get some game time, but seems he's on his way out. Let's hope Diony can show us something, always exciting to get a shiny unwrapped goalscorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I would say that the contributions from Diony and Elliason tonight were zero. Lois has had 3 short appearances, plus 45 minutes v Sunderland, and not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Lois that was how i saw it.looks like a busy wasp type,ie,bloody annoying to defend against.more time will show if he has an end product.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I suspect that as soon as he scores- he'll be on fire. It's impossible not to see that he's got class but his confidence is just non existent and every striker thrives on confidence. Reminds me of when Baldock couldn't score in a brothel but when he eventually did he just couldn't stop. I hope and expect that Lee sticks with Diony- plenty of time left for him to come good.

shelts Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 He looks like he’s trying too hard to make an impression. Not had a start yet . Comparisons with Bas our way off the mark . Each to their own I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephjnr Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 9 hours ago, REDOXO said: Mainly because he stood on the ball and fell over on the half way line. Without that he'd have been one-on-one, scoring what would likely have been the winner. People have been harsh here (especially with the Bas comparison), but that does stick out. What was more egregious was the lob to Pato near the penalty spot - If Diedhiou hadn't cut it off that would have been a prime shooting chance.

If it doesn't go well here he will go back to his St Etienne nightmare where in all likelihood he will have to find a new club willing to pay something like the nine million euros that was paid for him . Les Verts aren't a rich club that can write off large sums of money. Not an easy task for his agent if he flops this season so I can understand his motivation to give everything in the handful of games left to play. Let's hope it works out , for all parties.

megansdad Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thought he added energy and muscle at an important time in the game. More impact than Woodrow vs Leeds and higher work rate. Useful for when Famara tires late in the game and his strength could be handy on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I think a match can look very different on a tv screen to being at the game. Maybe some of those who are critical of him weren’t able to see his all round play, dragging players away so other players had room.He is far from the finished article for us, but he certainly looked willing and wanted involvement. A good option to bring on in a game is my verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
