Diop is a good CB. Not Skriniar quality, but good. He'd be a bit underwhelming for me, but he's a big lad who can be commanding in his penalty box. Not slow either. We could do a LOT worse than him in my opinion.

I agree that he would be underwhelming. Would rather we put more faith in Tanganga !

I think the fact who we have been linked to in the last week to now this is a tough pill to swallow.

The question is, does he improve on what we already possess?

Not sure he does. This with the now seemingly haphazard striker search and I'm not overly impressed in the direction the end of this window is taking.

Tbh always felt he’s pretty decent. Prem ready; Sullivan needs money; could slot right in with Maureens guidance

This is one i would have to trust the club on, if it happened.

I dont rate him, but somebody at the club must rate him, if this is indeed true.

Wonder if the fact that he currently has COVID would complicate any deal?

If his name is from Arabic, it means Jesus; so he can surely save his fellow defenders in the hours of need.

He’s decent but we already have decent I don’t think he’s any better than what we have

Bit daft. Rice, Anderson, Lanzini would all be good squad additions for the right price.
Disagree, Anderson especially is not up to scratch at all worse than sess, lanzini perhaps but still injury prone etc, and rice is a glorified Dier who imo really is overrated. But that’s just my opinion anyway.

this would be my concern

he’s alright, but ultimately they’d want top dollar (because it’s us) and I’m not sure he’d be a game changer for our defence

Imagine choosing not to sign Defoe, Carrick or Parker simply because they’d played for West Ham...
