    convinced we are getting the Lille CB, the fact we had one tweet saying we were pushing and then it went quiet is how we have done our business this summer

    Sevilla are broke mate. They also have to fund their part of the stadium redevelopment too.

    Have to say I’ve convinced myself about the thought of Lucemi and Mandava being solid together. I’m sure I can also convince myself of something else mind I just haven’t done yet.

    He was a very good striker, that’s despite the fact he didn’t win anything there. Don’t even think that’s up for debate.

    Aye no Europe for couple years, stadium needs major upgrades for the Euros (and in general)

    They’ve been in financial strife a couple years now.

    From what I've seen i do think Diakite would be comfortable at LCB, obviously nice having a natural left footed there in Lucumi

    Bade and Diakite are both very very good, stand out 2 cbs imo however thimk it'll be 1 or the other

    I’m not sure no news is necessarily good news every tine. Everything went quiet after we were strongly linked to Petrovic and then he signed for Bournemouth.

    that’s why I like news!! I’m too sceptical to think no news is good news.

    I agree I’d just prefer a left footer but it isn’t important

    Diakite can play left back too

    bade and Diakite could be a future French partnership and if we got those two I’d also be buzzing

    That doesn't make him a legendary Newcastle No 9 though ...

    ... which is the point.

    Not to mention losing at home to Sunderland while missing a crucial penalty.

    Mental to think we might actuakly have a chamce of signing both - as you said they could both go on to play for France

    Honestly think if we got both we would have a top 10 CB pairing in the league immediately

    I don’t know either wel enough to judge, but Lucemi looks silky in possession, Diakite looks an absolute warrior. Both would be a dream come true.

    I never called him a legendary number 9 mind, I said he was their only “really good” one.

    It’s late on Sunday like, so I’ll let you off for misreading it. <laugh>

    No nation on earth produces as many top class CB as the French.

    Used to be Italy and Germany and the odd year Brazil but France absolutely fire them out left right and centre.

    It’s actually mental how many they have that would waltz into most national team, including England.

    I think that’s underselling it if we got both mind.

    Would be far better than top 10.

    We’d just need CM, wingers, GK, fullbacks and forwards to catch up…

    Good start on CM mind.

    Bade and Lucumi are similar priced no reason we can’t get one of those and diakite

    Pretty hard to choose, Bade they are asking €30m so maybe something happens just below that fee - like you say cheaper than diakite.

    Diakite was however a standout in Ligue un as one of the best CBs in the whole league...

    Until this season I would have fancied Bade as one of the best in LaLiga. Honestly bring me either and I'm chuffed but diakite feels like more of a coup for some reason.
