Keita Baldé Diao

[panoma]

I really hope he's the winger we've being waiting for. Not entirely convinced by him, but I trust Poch and our scouts

Wish i did to, but hard to trust them after identifying GNK, Clinton and Sissoko as good fits for us. Luckily I have seen lot of Balde Diao myself and he's a much better player than those

 

[JW72]

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

Bale and Modric turned out to be 'Real' talents too...

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

Oi baldy, announce Baldé

 

[sly1]

Maybe it's both. Because I also don't see the point of the word "about" in that phrase if the cryptic is about Balde

I'm not sure if this has been said, but "about" is a word used in cryptic crosswords to indicate that there is an anagram preceding it.

This is actually a pretty decent cryptic. It works.

Mrs A&C has nothing to do with player recruitment at Spurs

This is why we need smart people.

Lid or carpet?

If this is a joke jj and A&C are going to have a lot of blood on their hands

 

[SlunkSoma]

Shame I'm not doing fantasy premier league this season, as Baldé Drawn Boy is a great team name.

if we sign this dude i assume he take sissokos squad place, is this guy an alternative to barkley or do you think it confirms that we want barkley at CM?

This will have no impact on us signing Barkley imo, very different players

 

[swarvsta]

Different type of player to Barkley. No idea if we can afford both, but they aren't similar. Barkley could play deeper.

we should be in for Barkley aswell as they're completely different players. Think shunting Sissucko off (and Onomah) means there's space in the squad for both. They're not like for like. Balde plays mainly off the left wing, with secondary striker and centre forward as second positions.

different to barkley, if we get balde and barkley we will easily be the most dangerous attacking unit in the prem if we was not already.

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.

Exactly. People change.

For example, I used to be a right **** when I was younger.

Oh, wait

Fuck...
