LeChuck Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think it's an excellent signing. He's not going to be getting into double scoring figures, but it really takes the pressure off finding the 'main' striker before the window closes. Basically this has avoided the prospect of going into the start of the season without a recognised striker. Alex Ferguson rarely gets it wrong, so the lad must have something about him - good record in Norway too. From what I've seen he's quick if slightly unpredictable. I think he'll be a much better impact player than Di Santo was last year though, Di Santo struggled to change games from the bench whereas Diouf will have the attributes to change games. Regarding names on shirts...E. Diouf and and M. Diouf? I'm sure they can't be the same anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 hahaha.. El Hadj gives the ref a mouthful, ref calls "eh Diouf, i want to have a word with you" and Mame comes over looked surprised as he doesnt know what he did lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kamy100 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Excellent loan signing. He is highly regarded by people at Old Trafford. I think that he will do well for us, he is quick and strong and should fit into our style of play very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clitherover Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 SSN reporting the loan signing of Diouf. What does everybody think? Can two players have the exact same name on their shirt in the same team? One will have ''E Diouf'' and the other ''M Diouf'' i'd have thought. With regards to the player, another striker on our books for a year won't do us any harm, so good move imo. edit. Le Chuck beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioPeter89 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 To the tune of "We`re not gonna take this" We`ve got two Dioufs, We`ve got two Dioufs, We`ve got two Dioufs, ROVERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torgeir Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Excellent signing. I think he'll turn out to be a "real" player. He does squander a lot of chances but gets a lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbleValleyRover Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 At least we have brought in someone, though i will have to reserve judgement until i have seen him play a few times. My father (man united fan) reckons he would be perfect for our system, strong and works really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeChuck Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 i wouldnt be surprised if he plays down the right wing LeChuck? Hadn't thought of that. I think the way things are going, he'll be starting the opening game (I can't see us getting another striker in before the first game). If he can play on the right wing that's a massive bonus though, when Kalinic is fit it might be something we look at. Does anyone who watched him in Norway know if he's played right wing before?

I think he will be able to play RW in a 4-3-3. He has decent pace and can storm in the box and get his head on the balls coming from Olsson.

If he can play on the right wing that's a massive bonus though, when Kalinic is fit it might be something we look at. Does anyone who watched him in Norway know if he's played right wing before? i just based that, on the fact that he seems like he has got some real pace and a bit of skill. Im not sure if he can play down the right, but if we use the 4-2-3-1-1 system, then he might slot in there. Somebody has to leave the squad though, as we have way too many midfielders if we brin in either Faty or Teymourian or dare i say it, both of them.

Excellent. Someone posted on the Transfer topic about him being hard working, so it definitely sounds like he can do a job there. ......... N'Zonzi Pedersen M. Diouf ...... Dunn ...... Olsson ................. Kalinic Must say I like the look of that. If we can get another good striker in and Faty then I think we're shaping up well for the new season.

Backroom Tom Posted August 6, 2010 Backroom Share Posted August 6, 2010 Good news if confirmed. We still have business to do up front but a bit less urgently now. If Roberts goes we can go for Vaughan and still chase our main target preferably Jo for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwins Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 At least we have a striker signed if only a loan for 12 months, better than a kick in the king edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC4LAB Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 My boss who has 5 Man season tickets rates him highly as full of potential..so do many others on Utds Redcafe who think a loan will do him good..Utd Will nab him back though if hes a success.

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted August 6, 2010 Moderation Lead Share Posted August 6, 2010 Good news, if only a temporary fix. Let's hope things get moving on all fronts now!

You can never guess what the future holds though. This Hernandez kid looks a bit special (probably why Utd have decided to loan Diouf out). So that's Rooney, Berbatov and Hernandez already, plus Macheda and Welbeck breaking through. Given that their preferred system involves one striker, it's not beyond possibility that Diouf could find himself surplus to requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
