Anyone else getting concerned about the lack of information coming out about his loan deal becoming a permanent signing for us?
Thought this would have happened once we confirmed our PL Status for next season. Plus the fact he missed the last few games with a mystery virus!
Against Arsenal his performance was that good, a few us said I bet Wenger will be having a look at him as a bit of backbone in there midfield. |  |

I think that maybe what North is saying is that it might have been us who stopped him at 9 games because we aren't sure about his health. |
Not the conspiracy theory I'm working on, that involves fake illness's to prevent clauses, dodgy advisor's & better offers!  |  |

Is Wenger really going to come in with an offer of over £4 million for a player on the basis of one good game against them? Based on their spending over the last few years I would suggest not. And we can match anything Arsenal will offer in wages, so I don't really see an attraction for the player there considering he has said he wants to play for us and will get a regular game for us, but most likely on the bench at best at Arsenal. While admittedly the fact he didn't play the tenth game and thus trigger the transfer looks suspicious, I'm not sure there will be any better offers on the table for him than ours. Probably the agent playing about hoping to either delay the move hoping to get a better offer or panic us into paying more. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

That was the Paladini principle. |  | | |

A good chunk of people on here, myuself included, think Diakite has the capacity to become a superb premiership footballer, right up there with best. He is able to glide past players, hold position and doesn't have a bad shot, physically imposing with quick feet.
Presumably if even one scout from a bigger club agrees then he could end up going there.
I think logically his best bet is to stay with us because he's guarenteed to play but he may well believe agent talk that he will walk in to say Arsenal's midfield and most young footballers back themselves.
Most important signing we'll make if we do get him IMO. |  |

The Diakite thread, let's try and keep discussion on this to here. |  | | |

dont know if it was QPR'S idea or the players but one side or the other certainly looks to have stopped the player playing that 10th game!
i mean a virus a cold? he was out for best part of 3 weeks could easliy have been a sub brought on in final minute just to activate that 10 game clause
smells very fishy!  |  |

This is all incredibly suspicious!
Whether it's from our side - concerns about health (glandular fever etc) or not wanting to play him 10 times in case we went down.
Or from his side - not wanting to play to see what other offers he gets.
I really would love to see Diakite and Faurlin in midfield together so i hope it works - i'll be gutted if he ends up going to another prem club and excelling! |  | | |

Diakite got sent off deliberately so as not to play 10 games and thereby not trigger the buy clause in his contract. FACT
To ensure it would be the case he tried to get sent off again. FACT
When he did play, he excelled in order to put himself in the shop window for other potential suitors. FACT
He only scored against Arsenal so Wenger would sit up, take notice and sign his next Viera. FACT
As he approached the 10 game limit, he invented a bout of man flu to keep him out of the team. FACT
Nancy know he is carrying a mysterious affliction that will crock him any day soon (possibly a la the Muamaba incident - which we shouldn't mind because the national press will want us never to be relegated if that was to happen), and so want to cash in asap. FACT *
*FACT - feck off all conspiracy theorists [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I saw Diakite and Wenger holding hands and speaking french in Old Compton St at 3.00am this morning. They looked so in love and I think Arsen was muttering something like " you are the new Viera" . | | | |

Can't believe I broke Warburton's article before it was published.
Does this mean I'm "In The Know?"😠| |

Diakite is ours. Can't see this being an issue. |  |

Fark me, theres more conspiracy theories here than the Kennedy/Oswald debacle.

Except that's not true is it?
Had he played 10 games he basically would have been because of the agreement, although we'd have still had to agree terms with Diakite himself.
Just because we're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get us!  | | | |

If he smells fishy it might be a bladder infection . . . |  | | |

the 10 game clause and the mysterious 'virus' that stopped him on 9 do sound rather non-coincidental. I very much hope this goes through because he's class. | | | |

Absolutely. Ask someone to think of a number between 1 and 12. They might think of '9' but it's long odds on that they won't. |  | | |

Trust me. If we want him (which we do) he's ours. | |
