The midfielder never set the world alight in his three years at St Mary's, but he was a dependable squad player in that time, who was never appreciated for the hard work he put in.
Southampton FC have announced that Ibrahima Diallo has left the club for Al-Duhail SC, subject to international clearance.
He has joined the Quatari club for an undisclosed fee after three seasons at St Mary's, during that time he started 31 Premier League games plus 32 as a sub, scoring just the once.
As a player he was a spoiling defensive midfield, his job was to break up the game and make sure the opposition couldn't play, he was never a master passer of the ball, but he could win it and knock it short, but for some supporters that wasn't good enough.
But you could never accuse him of not trying and he had a knack of playing in games where we got a result, last season he started in two of our 6 wins and a draw and came on as a sub in two of our away wins plus the draw at Arsenal.
I would hope that Saints supporters would wish him well and not pepper message boards with insults, football is a squad game and Diallo was a good squad player who just got on with things.
Good luck to him at Al-Duhail and wherever he goes in football and indeed life.
