Another monster for Relentoball.

Welcome!

 

[GlasgowBee]

After every other signing, this additional signing makes me want to revise up my nail your colours prediction.

Welcome EHMD

 

[Invipai]

Adding both depth and quality to the squad. It's hard not to be excited about this one!

By all accounts he still needs to improve defensively but I never worry too much about things like that when the player is still only 21. He has years with us to develop in all areas of the pitch.

Excited by this! Fullbacks are a hard position to get right and we've probably got the best depth in the league in this area!

Well done Phil Giles his critics hopefully will change their minds. Despite the comments from some Hammers fans , a high bar, but let’s hope for a Kayode outcome again. After all who in their right mind would let a talent like that go

Not many critics on here.

Is this the first time we've gone from 'not happening' to signed?

Nice change from final stages to not happening

Haven't times changed since Ms. Sonko?

 

[BFC1997]

Kinda reminds me of when we signed Nathan Collins as a young PL defender with a mixed reputation.

Diouf is on the one hand, clearly a great prospect and has loads of potential, some standout qualities and was a bit of a shining light in a relegation side. But also he was really not a player WHU could rely upon in their backline, and it was the same with NC at Burnley and Wolves.

Good news for us is that experience will see him land with us a better player, and we will also give him the stable environment needed to grow into the starting eleven, with players around him that are going to give him much better support on the pitch than his teammates at WHU did.

 

[BFC1997]

I’ll repeat my earlier comment.

The Diouf

The Diouf is on fire

 

[ABEEE]

We have an extremely talented set of fullbacks.

 

[AB]

After one of his crosses gets buried by Kevin or Igor:

Diouf there it is
Diouf there it is.

(Sorry not sorry)

 

[BFC1997]

I think it will help that we have Callum Wilson here already.

 

[aawharris]

Looking forward to seeing his progression.
An exciting prospect currently, will be interesting to see how he fits and what happens to players he replaces.

 

[Hippobee]

Nice change from final stages to not happening

There is a very different vibe to our dealing this summer, like 2019, only top 6 PL style.

I confess to not being at all bothered when I heard he wasn't coming a week or two ago and that he was over priced. PG knows better than me though.

But both his and the signing of Sangare are significant. Two very big transfers got over the line, when we've had massive signings close in recent years, but not quite got there.

Add that to no 1st team departures this window* (hope it stays that way) and we could really surprise everyone this season.

*I don't count Henderson. He wouldn't have been in the first choice 11 this year.

Plenty of dumb asses on fb and twitter who think Phil’s stealing a living and basking in the accidental glory of buying Mbeumo 7 years ago with everyone bought since being a bit mid and/or needing years to come good.

God the day Phil Giles goes (hopefully never) will be a dark one.

Watch a compilation of Diouf's crosses. Absolutely belts them in, great to see

 

[AB]

Yeah righto. Clueless.

They’re guys who after we complete a domestic treble this season will be cussing Phil out for not bringing in MBappe to build on things.

Callum Wilson gives the lowdown on new Brentford signing El Hadji Malick Diouf after spending last season with the Senegal international at West Ham United.

www.brentfordfc.com

great to see that not only does Callum have extremely high praise for Diouf, both as a player and a person, he proved it was all genuine by selling him on becoming a Bee!

 

[AB]

New Brentford??

No, surprisingly lots of guys in their 30s+ who went to GP.

Most if not all of the New Brentford I know IRL are way more positive and get what we do much better than at least some of us old hands. They’re the least likely to have ever heard of Brentford innit and I think most likely if we ever got relegated to believe we’d walk right back up. Whereas quite a lot of the rest of us would probably go “well that was nice while it lasted and L1 in a couple of years will be fine, get rid of the gloryhunters etc”.

Wonder if we’ll be in for Malick Diouf now West Ham have gone down? We were linked with him before he signed for the Hammers.

If Hickey’s future is in midfield, happy for Lewis Potter to be staring left back next season and Henry should be fit again (assuming club take the 1 yr option) but feel he could give us something extra and we’d develop him much better than West Ham. Couple of years older than Meghoma.

So, that's why we signed Callum Wilson, then!

He said we going to win the league love it
Welcome to the best team in the prem Malick.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Welcome Diouf.

I wasn't too bothered about this signing, but in PG i trust and i see the forward thinking.

A big price tag and a little bit of pressure. But looks like this is another good forward planning signing.

Well clearly those pillocks weren't at the Spurs game to see Sangare in action. This season could be something very special in the history of this club.

Serious whip on those crosses .. Thiago, Wilson & Schade will love those

 

[Argus]

Repeating what I said on Reddit regarding this:
From the outside it’s our recruitment that gets praised the most, but it’s our vision and development that turns these smart signings into something special for us. I look forward to seeing Diouf progress in that way, he was super exciting to watch last season

Our attacking 3 and centre halves are going to feast on the wand of left foot this lad has!

Excited about Diouf (and his crossing abilities) but some of the clips used to fill that showreel are terrible - there's one where he does nothing more than sheppard the ball out of play for a throw in

I enjoyed the honesty of including some fairly underwhelming moments lol

I'd rather they left it alone so he can use it to kick a football, must be better options in the canteen.

 

[FJBee]

Wonder if we look at his crossing ability and see him as a future set piece taker. Not got anyone in particular left footed once Janelt drops out of the squad, maybe Sangare.
