First signing...

Adama Diakhaby has signed until the end of the season, stupid amount of pace (which we lack), but reading the Udders' fans comments, he can't do much else (so like Uncle Albert, but with pace) so an upgrade

Read the comments part.

Opposition fans without fail will tell you how rubbish a player is when he moves on!

I’m sad to see Robinson go as thought he was decent last year. But we’ve got Chema and Ribeiro at LB and plenty of cover at CB so guess it makes sense. Would have preferred we moved on the players who aren’t getting near the match day squads.

We'd tell you if he was any good. Trust me, we're an honest bunch. He's some stats I've just copied and pasted for you.

Let's put this to bed. Diakhaby has made a total of 82 professional appearances since starting at Rennes with a total playing time of 3205 minutes. He has scored 6 goals and has 5 assists. 4 of those goals came in the French second tier so he has only scored twice since August 2017 when he moved to Monaco. He can dribble and has a 76% pass rate. But he is weak in finishing, crossing and defensive ability. That is not down to Dave Wagner, Jan Siewert or Danny Cowley. Anybody who thinks he's going to suddenly transform into Ronaldo at NF is somewhat deluded.

God you’re a bore. He’s clearly not a world beater otherwise he wouldn’t be signing for us and certainly wouldn’t have ended up at Huddersfield! Don’t think your stats are quite right as I read earlier he scored 3 at Monaco.

Pace of a racehorse, touch of a carthorse. 😁😁😁
What a brilliant summary, don’t even care if it’s true.
As they say ‘priceless’. 👍👍

😂 How strange, that was my comment

Not my stats Caniggia, just what I copy and pasted. I'll leave you be as I'm boring 💤 you. Cheerio 👋

Apologies for that Hydy, it was your comment I was referring too - brilliant. I wasn’t trying to steal credit for it, I just thought you put it brilliantly. 😁👍

No no, my apologies, I thought I'd put that on the Examiner comments (the link to the local newspaper) but I got mixed up. 👍 Been posting too much sh¡te. Cheers 🍻.

Feel free to give me your opinion once he's played a few times. All the best for tomorrow, win and you're two points behind Leeds

Thanks for your insight hydy (not being ironic).

The comments of 'udders fans are similar to the comments of the bin robbers when we signed 'Bena' and he turned out better than expected; including getting himself on the legends board with a winner against the sheep.

Let's hope this guy does the same.

On a more realistic and positive note; when opponents know an opponent has pace they will defend deeper no matter how effective he is. That would give the likes of Carvalho a bit more space in which to work a bit of magic.

My thoughts precisely Red. This guy is gonna make a real nuisance of himself in the opposition box. Thus creating space and chances for Grabban & Lolley. If he does that we’ll benefit hugely.
