Isn't it great seeing Taiwo and Diakite finding their Prem feet and showing us the kind of performances we hoped they would? If they keep improving game on game we stand a good chance of staying up. Which leads me to my point. If we do stay-up, will they stay? I'm not exactly sure what the loan deals entail in terms of signing on options, but if they keep improving then surely other ( bigger? ) clubs will be alerted to their availibility, and be looking to sign them. Arsene Whinger must of been impressed by what he saw on Saturday and seen that they are better than anything he has in those roles. I'd bet he'd love to get his dirty paws on them.
Arsenal were apparently interested in Taiwo in January, I think we could keep Diakite but maybe not Taiwo
they can only get better the longer they stay & providing we stay in prem then i would take them both, if we go down god forbid then no way.
Taiwo had a great game against Arsenal but I'm not convinced on his ability based on previous performances, if he were to go I wouldn't be heart broken. Diakite is getting progressively better and I'd be sad to see him go as he could be a real prospect, we'd have a great chance with him and Faurlin if fully fit. I'd rather that partnership than either of them with Barton.
dont quote me on this but im pretty sure we have first option on transfers for both of them, i think diakites price is about £3.5million and Taiwo somewhere in the region of £4-5.5million, thats what ive heard anyway.
Both are loans to buy but that all depends on if we want to keep them and if they want to come? I would like to sign them both permantely to be fair but depends on cost.
