TWar Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 Seems close enough to get his own thread. Lequipe (https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Transferts-ibrahima-diallo-se-rapproche-de-southampton/1178673) saying we are close to a deal and he is keen to join and a local paper saying a fee is agreed (https://www.letelegramme.fr/football/accord-entre-le-stade-brestois-et-southampton-pour-diallo-02-10-2020-12629716.php). Seems like could be a great signing from what I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 (edited) Good age, not much to go on in the stats department but we need a CM so we can only hope he's a hidden gem rather than a cheap panic buy. His attributes (as oppose to his match statistics) seem decent and he's been linked to Leicester and Arsenal which is a positive. He's a Monaco youngster so has decent pedigree. I hope he's better than the last signing we got from there though! If more than 50% of Saintsweb posters are happy with it, then I'm happy with it. 😀 Just another AM and we look OK strengthwise.

saint1977 Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 Hope we get this one over the line - sounds like just what we need and seems to fit Ralph’s style. Sangare was a back up for this guy I reckon. Sessegnon on loan now as well hopefully next. Hoedt looks like he is finally on his way and Gunn needs to move out on loan as Herman Munster won’t shift. Still light in the forwards department but have to hope our three stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 Sacre Bleu! Stade Brestois and English club Southampton have reached an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Ibrahima Diallo, who will commit to four seasons with Saints. The future of Ibrahima Diallo (21 years) will be well played in the Premier League. For several days, the midfielder of the Stade Brestois has been the priority of Southampton, who have agreed with the club, according to our information. The amount of the transfer would be fifteen million euros with a percentage of the capital gain in favor of the Stade Brestois. As a reminder, Brest must also pay a share of its own capital gain (20%) to AS Monaco, who had sold him the international midfielder Espoirs in 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I ever claimed otherwise. The key difference, of course, being that one was a kid on the internet with too much free time and the other is a massive corporation that takes tonnes of money for its sports coverage and has all the resources and ability to do so much better. Pretty sure most people would agree that the output is increasingly dire. Crap pundits, crap reporting - not even any attempts to give credit and lots of race-to-the-bottom content. Did they not give you a job or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 Hopefully he is better than the defence that played behind him. So far this season he's played 5 times and have conceded 12 goals. Probably fit in quite well with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwbu Posted 2 October, 2020 Share Posted 2 October, 2020 I know we all moan but I genuinely do have more faith that Ralph wouldn’t let us sign any old shit like we have in the past. Djenepo, Adams, KWP and Salisu are his only signings so far right? Personally i’m a big fan of the first three (appreciate jury is still out for some) and Salisu comes with a lot of optimism. I don’t see us signing a Hoedt or Carrillo under Ralph, more likely we would prefer not to sign anyone at all. Thus I do get quite excited when we have new arrivals under him, but i’m sure i’m setting myself up for disappointment now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
