Major Isewater Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 The lad started thirty games in Ligue 1 last season and scored five goals . He has been described by one commentator as ‘ the worst player in the division ‘ . St Étienne will look to offload him this season with interest , apparently, and staggeringly from abroad ! The player reportedly earns 90,000€ a month not counting bonuses . Don’t think we’ll have the pleasure of seeing him ever again in a City shirt .

Unless WhoScored is wrong, it was 19 starts and 11 sub apps. 1 assist too. Not much better I'll grant you but worst in the division? His DIjon record though actually looked rather strong! Again WhoScored, dunno how reliable but..one thing for sure, the reason St Etienne signed him was because of 2016/17. 2016/2017 Dijon FL1 31(4) 2815 11 8 2 1 1.7 72.4 1 3 6.91 Oh yeah, the categories are starts (sub appearances), total minutes, goals, assists, yellow cards, red cards, shots per game, Passing Accuracy, Aerial Duels won per game, MOTM awards and average (WhoScored) rating. None of the 11 goals penalties either which only helps. Like I say strong record in a struggling side. The French Watkins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Marinovic wasn’t dire. He fluffed 3 kicks, two because he surely can’t have been used to the pace of the championship and the quality of the strikers. Made a few good saves, commanded the area, would’ve kept a clean sheet if Lloyd Kelly hadn’t smashed one in his own net. Granted he wasn’t the level of Niki or Bentley, but he wasn’t dire.

He will go down as the worst first touch ive seen for two reasons. His first touch when controling the ball was horrific. His first touch of a ball in a City shirt was one of the worst your ever likely to see. Could of been nerves. Could of been the step up. Thankfully my heart rate never had to contend with a pass back to him ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Diony reached Nicky Hunt-like levels of awfulness in his games for us. Embarrassingly, I remember being fooled into thinking that he was promising at first because he looked quick and mobile. How wrong I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was their second or third top scorer in a campaign where they reached Europa League spots. He isn’t great but I am sure if he’d have been a summer signing he’d have been more successful here. Probably better than Diedhiou with how we play now He came into a team struggling to keep momentum going and was low on confidence himself. I won’t argue against anyone who says he was dreadful because he was. Just think it was wrong place and wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmissionImpossible Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 We’ve had worse than Diony in the last 15 years. People love to say the most recent poor example they can think of is the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjmcity Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 GK is probably one of the hardest positions to come into ‘cold’ if you like after not playing a while. At least as a player you can run around get stuck in and tackle and you are likely to see the ball. In goal I think the pace of the game could really catch you off guard until it’s too late, plus you might try and put yourself about abit too much just to get that touch or that save to settle yourself down. SM did not cost us that game. LJ should have used better judgement and not chucked him in however. diony is an interesting one, his record that has been called so terrible by the French reminds me of bobby Reid’s in the peen.. not awful but not setting anything on fire either. He clearly isn’t a top level player and sounds like Ligue 2 is about right. Didn’t work out here but that’s the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the strength of his Dijon season, a respectable Ligue 1 striker is about right- 11 goals, 8 assists- record can be seen on WhoScored. Post then possibly Ligue 2 yes.

No one wanted to pass back to him, no one trusted him, he flapped at everything, kicked multiple balls out of play. There’s a reason he wasn’t even on the bench toward the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
