Still he s 1.95m tall... certainly not a midget
Issa Diop
- Thread starter IrishRedDevil
- Start date
3,5,6 - not attainable or overpriced
2 and 8 - not yet ready to steady our backline
Out of interest, how far down Ole's centre back list do we think Diop is?
5th choice?
5th choice?
Yes, him and Maguire would be the perfect combination though.

Don’t want him. I don’t see what he offers more than some of our current crop other than that he is young.
Puyol was better in the air than Pique is/was it is not all about height.
So were West Ham going to match Martial’s £250k per week? Or...
It was more likely Smalling they wanted.

He's not as good as Issa Me Mario.
So why don’t we offer them Lingard in a swap deal instead of Martial? Don’t they rate all that glorious movement and running he provides?
We don't need another stopper. We need a ball playing centre half. This guy's a young smalling.
Makes me wonder if Ole has a playstyle in mind or not. All summer long its been reported we are after a ball playing CB and now we want Diop, who is not great on the ball.
I think it's more a sign of things not going well with our first choices.
We do, and that's the reason we won't be offering him to West Ham.
Isn’t this guy a candidate for the national team?
But Willi Orban is. He's excellent on the ball as well.
Looks like. That's what happens if you dont scout well enough
We are so lucky to support a football club being run in such great way, going fast and sound towards new victories and glory.
Oh no,we're being wummed by West Ham.
If he is any good he’ll ask to leave within 2 years and we’ll see what songs they sing then.
Let them WUM. They won't be laughing after we smash them this season.
This guy is another option , which seems Woodward is doing it again throwing his net as wide as he can to see who he catches.
This guy is probably 3rd 4th on the list, and he can't even get him?
Can see no CBs coming in at all, we will have Smalling , Lindelof, Jones, Rojo, Tunezabe, there our Centre backs for next season. Ohh Bialy nearly forgot him?

Keep him, a huge gamble, if he fails to make the step up to a big club then it would be hard to recoup 60 odd million for a him as no big club with a large enough transfer budget to afford him will want him as most want defenders who good with the ball at their feet in the modern game and he isn't that.
Just reading the player they asked for was Mctominay, not Martial.
Would make more sense. Don’t imagine they could pay Martials wage.
Not that we’d shift McTominay anyway.
Can't see us signing a CB
And bonus, he so young! Only twentysixteen!
Yes, Deschamps told him to be ready for the big step up, soon.
Issa Diop, did a plop
behind the kitchen door.
United came and signed him up
and he don't play for you no more.
They are missing a trick and have no idea.
If we sign wan Bissaka and Diop for a combined fee of 100m plus, we'd be the biggest laughing stock of the entire world.
Diop will become a world class CB soon. West Ham are under no pressure to sell. There are absolutely no top class CB's available so we'll either go forward with Tuanzebe or else we'll sign a CB we can develop such as Ben Godfrey or Nathan Collins. Diop would be phenomenal though but simply not available for less than 80 million.
If we get both we will be better and set for 10 years.
We should pay to have the chance of not needing to enter the market for this huge amount of time.
NB :
After looking carefully, he look like Varane 2.0, very tall and explosive CB.
He can allow us to play a high defensive line, giving us huge recovery run ability.
Reputable West Ham ITK on Twitter and go to guy for West Ham news (ExWHUemployee) expecting United to officially bid for Diop.
When did he say that? Can't see anything on his Twitter.
Our best defender is our ball player in Lindelof. Smalling is exactly what needs replacing.
How did u know all these players ? did u watch them play ? I thought there are not too many good CBs
From little I’ve seen he looks good but if it isn’t a major price difference I’d rather Maguire.
