Loan with option to buy please....

    JazzG -- you think we can promise Brighton that he'd get minutes?

      I don't think we should be purely loaning him, we should be buying him. Either straight purchase or loan with option/obligation to buy.

      He'd be a great player to fill in for Kai and eventually replace him if things went well. Very capable of doing the same work but has better off the ball positioning around the box.

      Only worry is the inability to stay fit. I am guessing that is why they want to loan him so he can hopefully stay fit and get into a regular rhythm.

      New Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim sent scouts to watch 17-year-old Portugal U21s winger Geovany Quenda, 26-year-old Sweden striker Viktor Gyokeres and Portugal winger Pedro Goncalves, 26, play for Sporting against Arsenal on Tuesday. (Mail - subscription required)

      I struggle to believe this for a multitude of reasons. I'm sure as hell not paying for that Mail subscription!

        Clrnc Commentator on the Dutch channel called him Sporting's Saka

          Clrnc Diomande seemed unstable for a modern CB. Very rash, even if he's good on the ball.

            Clrnc But he plays like a young Kolo Toure so no thanks

            If he actually did then I'd be all for it if we didn't have so many defenders. Kolo was quality. As it stands I don't see it with guy much as there was someone on here 1 or 2 years ago who was saying he's going to be one of the best CB in the world in a few years.

                Big Willie Kolo was also very rash and had brain dead moments especially when he just broke through.

                Diomande is a physical specimen but we have enough of those. I like modern intelligent classy defenders these days in the mould of Calafiori. Or Bastoni

                    Clrnc Kolo was also very rash and had brain dead moments especially when he just broke through.

                    Couldn't have been that brain dead if he ended up an Invincible in only his season season at the club whilst playing ever single game.

                    Edit: In any case, my point is, comparing Diomonde to Toure as if it was a slight is an insult to Kolo. Diomonde would be flattered to even be likened to him.

                        Big Willie Ah I see.

                        For some reason I keep thinking his first season was the 02/03 season

                            Clrnc no it was supposed to say "only his second season" and not "only his season" which doesn't make sense. It was his second season when we went invincible. He joined in 02/03.
