Some obviously are as they keep quoting me in and asking direct questions, try and keep up rather than being blinkered
You claimed 'he has a very bad attitude' and 'caused dressing room unrest'. What you just quoted doesn't back up what you said in any way, in fact I'd happily say you're making it up and couldn't prove that for £100. 'It was claimed in 2023 that Patrick Vieira began to become ‘frustrated’ with Diarra’s attitude and told that to the teenager.' 'During his second season with the club, Diarra was supposedly performing poorly in training and not giving his full focus in pre-season'.
And then he went on to become captain, one of the best performing CM in the league, and got a glowing reference from his clubs manager… **** me I was a liability when I was a teenager means nothing. Be saying Messi wasn’t very good at football when he was a foetus next.
Yes, but claimed by whom? And who supposed he was off his training? Might well be true mind, wouldn't be the first teenager to need a warm up. But unattributed suggestions often have origins of varying certainty. Of course, they might all be ****e, I know nowt about any of them really. But they've been pretty good here for a while now in picking players, and almost all of them have been sound characters. We haven't found a Jean Kevin Augustin yet anyway!
Viera being 'frustrated' at a 19 year old is hardly worth mentioning tbh. How anyone can claim it shows they have a very bad attitude is ludicrous.
So from what you said above to “apparent bad attitude and dressing room unrest”.is a stretch! Nothing in your message about the dressing room at all so you literally made it up. Nothing on google about it either. The only results about Habib Diarra and dressing room are about how his manager saw him as such a positive influence. Ah sorry, I have found the site who talked about him causing dressing room unrest. Leedsunited.news! Also making stuff up to suit an agenda!
Viera stunk the place out at Strasbourg and lost more games than he won before he was sacked. He was only there about 9 months so his views on a 19 year old would barely count ... ... especially when Diarra had three times the games Viera managed
I didn't say that you were beaten to his signature, just pointing out that you had contradicted yourself in saying that in one response you hadn't bid but in another you had but then pulled out - I agree with you that if your best offer is refused then move on. We've decided to pay the extra because we believe he is worth it - opinions and all that.
I have to say I don't like it when a forum Mod, from another board, comes on saying one thing on here then the opposite to his Leeds mates. It reminds me of the Newcastle mod who treats his forum like his own little empire. (Or always used to.) If you're coming on this forum try to avoid making up shyte and being a hypocrite ... ... as a Mod it just doesn't look good in my opinion.
And it doesn't take long for someone to be corrected. Not sure why anyone would bother. Maybe a little self reassurance. We might be signing load of hopeless, worth nothing dead beats. But it's for us to stew on. I'm genuinely not interested in owt any other club does, apart from on the pitch, against us
I don’t see it as contradicting myself. Some are just reading too much into everything and dissecting every comment. I think you’d argue with yourself if the room was empty I don’t get what’s so hard to understand, we supposedly offered a figure we felt he was worth and moved on. Brentford offered more and moved on, Sunderland paid the asking price as supposedly nobody else felt he was worth that much A few Sunderland fans get excited because they’ve beaten Leeds to a player Leeds were supposedly no longer interested in I’ve inserted a few supposedly comments to avoid further dissecting
If you’re face to face you can explain things easier, I guess when a rival fans posts something debatable, questionable, controversial, different to what you believe on a forum it becomes a post mortem for some
If you ladies have finished arguing as to how awesome our awesome signings are... 22 year old right back. another Strasbourg player
