Keita Baldé Diao

if jj says it's done it's done. better get down the tattoo shop in the morning.

He hasn't said done though just said this was the player

2 ITK said we were after out original (1st) targets, so it's neither of those. We want Pereira

Pereira deal is dead, JJ said on twitter.

No nothing about this guy but delighted at how excited everyone is! Assume this would be a signing for now, like Son was rather than a GKN punt?

More in the vein of a Son signing but with a higher risk/reward since he has some character issues but is a massive talent.

Love JJ, but I'm not getting excited until Amy confirms it

Who's Amy?

 

[Streetspur77]

Give it until tomorrow lunchtime, we're bound to have dozens of pages on formations and people bashing Levy for not getting this done yet, as the ITK thread is closed.

Give it 15 mins

The most important question is do we call him Keita or Baldé? He's always confused me.

Balde. There are too many Keitas.

Keith Bald. That's what my phone suggests

 

[harrmaud]

Not surprising Levy is willing to pull the trigger on a player called Baldey

This has to catch on!

Woah calm down mate - he hasn't said it is 'done' anywhere.

if he's making it obvious then it's something jj doesn't do unless it's certain, at least in his mind. He's aware of the willian events as much as the rest of us. Obviously it ends with the player holding up the shirt but it can't be more positive for me.

he is faster than son and more skillful tbf both clinical. Real talent if managed right.

Apparently pereira deal is dead. See his thread. Chelsea in for the other guy also.

It's tough though, it's like naming your first son

 

[Ossie85]

Fuck.

I thought he was a lot better than the other 2

 

[SpartanSpur]

Gards hinting at this being the player, now JJ joining the party. Shit got real quick.

Really hope we can get this one over the line, if he can get his head straight this guy can be world class, which he seems to desire. We've proven that you can get that exposure here too with Bale, Kane and now Alli.

Just hope Poch hasn't bitten off more than he can chew with him if he does come in, only one winner there if they clash...

 

[SlunkSoma]

Actually think Keith will.

[Breezer]

So many people obsessed with the players character. A bit like Marcus Edwards supposedly having a bad attitude etc. It's safe to say the club know exactly who would or wouldn't be a good fit, so stop stressing over needless points.

I remember when everyone got upset at Verts auto correcting to B.e.r.y.l (without the dots).
