[Archived] Spit The Diouf

[LeftWinger]

I asked a Bolton season ticket holder at work about Diouf and he said he was a good player if not a bit lazy. I hope he isn't too lazy if he's going to play on the right of a four man midfield.

Everything that makes up Diouf

[gumboots]

so if he plays well for us and helps us climb out of relegation, u want him to be sold in the summer. Are you on this planet!!!!

Only if there's better available if you read what I said. don't kid yourself he'd want to stay if a bigger club or a better offer came in so why shouldn't i want to use him just as players use us.

[tchocky]

Could be a good signing. Better than not signing anyone, that's for sure!

if Diouf plays well for Rovers i am sure he will be at Rovers till at least the end of his current contract, he will be happy now he is back with Sam so why would he move on, i can't see a top 4 or bigger club come in for him.

Why don't you go down to the club shop and get Diouf put on back of your shirt it might make me u feel a bit better u never know.

If that doesn't get you excited at the prospect of him linking up with Benni then nothing will...

Even his promo included two dives and two potential leg breakers!

To be honest it increased my worries, not reduced them.

don't have a shirt. Middle aged women usually look ridiculous in them. Leave that to the young and slim. and nothing will actually make me feel better about this. But enough on this guy. He's here and for the moment we have to put up with him. You are entitled to think it's great - that's your opinion. Just don't criticise me for mine because that's the point of the board - that we agree to disagree if it comes to that.

[tonyoz]

welcome on board Diouf, just what we needed a right winger, for all the people on here who are crying and moaning you are a disgrace to be a fan of this club. If he helps us stay in the prem this season then i am all for this signing

The ends justify the means huh?

[rebelmswar]

The ends justify the means huh?

The means are not as bad as all that imo and for 2 million we can do a lot worse.

How much did Andrews cost us? I can honestly not remember.

CHEATBURN ROVERS HAVE SOLD THERE SOUL.MANAGED BY A CHEAT,THE BIGGEST ONE IN FOOTBALL PLAYING FOR THEM.WHY NOT SIGN NOLAN AS WELL LARDARSE

Oh shut up Waggy! If you knew just how silly and childish you sound you wouldn't do it.

Or us?

[Mr. E]

I can wright an essay about my (harsh) feeling on the matter, but I will not say anything until BFS gets us a fracking CENTRAL MIDFIELDER. A DAY IS LEFT. DO IT NOW.

Think it was about 750k or so, think it was undisclosed though.

Any chance of a poll to see who is happy and who is unhappy with the signing of Diouf?

[Mr. E]

2 million? Does this mean that El-Hadji Diouf costs as much as Brad Friedel, arguably the greatest keeper to play for Rovers?

[philipl]

2 million? Does this mean that El-Hadji Diouf costs as much as Brad Friedel, arguably the greatest keeper to play for Rovers?

£500K less and 9 years younger.

[The Prof.]

Okay - he's here, he's a Rover so quit the dissing now. I didn't want him but I won't knowck someone prepared to pull on the Blue and White. He'll do a job for us. Come on Diouf!

[mattyboy6000]

tbh i wasn't too thrilled when we signed savage and bellamy- soon changed my mind though. bolton fans i know rate him- and reckon sam will get the best out of him

great signing. shame he gobbed on someone that time though.

[LeChuck]

2 million? Does this mean that El-Hadji Diouf costs as much as Brad Friedel, arguably the greatest keeper to play for Rovers?

Harewood (£4 million), Utaka (£7 million), Boa Morte (£5 million), Chopra (£5 million).

That's a quick list off the top of my head of strikers-cum-wingers who are a lot, lot worse than Diouf and cost a hell of a lot more.

If Allardyce keeps him line (he did it for years at Bolton) then we've got a bargain, especially considering he brings many things we are lacking at present.

Edit: We also know that he won't go missing in games played in freezing Lancastrian conditions, which is quite rare for players of his type.

[frosty]

Good signing me thinks.

[DeadlyDirk]

That's more or less my opinion, it'll probably take me a little longer to come around though. I didn't want him but now he's a Rover so he'll get my support, still think its a shame we had to buy someone like him though but oh well that's football these days, beggars can't be choosers.

Any idea how long his contract with us is?

[imy9]

why not add shipman only killed 40

Spitting on a fan, killing 40 people, they are obviously similar... give it up already

[Billy Castell]

He can be a good signing. As a man he is a ____, but he can be a good player.

[10moorgate]

one thing i really hope we don't do is copy off Bolton by singing the 'tra la la la la la la el haj diouf will spit on you'. that's a bit geeky in my eyes. we need our own tune. just of top of my head:

'he'll dive, he'll spit,

and we don't give a sh@@,

el haj diouf, el haj diouf'

How have they sold their soul?

Managed by a cheat? Do you have evidence to substantiate this, all I can remember was a documentary by Panorama, has Big Sam been charged and convicted? Dont let that stop you spreading lies though....

Biggest cheat in football? How does Diouf cheat? By diving? You obviously dont watch much football if you think that Diouf is the biggest cheat going.
