    Yep that would be ideal, not sure who I'd fancy for the LCB position- Salisu was linked and he would be OK

    Some canny quotes about Diarra in the Northern Echo

    https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...op-sunderland-target-replace-jobe-bellingham/

    Flavien Trésarrieu, football writer for L'Équipe, says eyebrows have been raised in France at the fee - understood to be around €31.5m - but there's also an acceptance of the potential of the midfielder.

    "There are questions he needs to answer - he is still very early in his career," says Trésarrieu. "But he's a good player, a good guy and very respectful. He has a lot of quality to break the lines and is very comfortable travelling with the ball. He's also able to repeat the effort at the same level from match to match. Regis Le Bris is also very strong at developing players and I'm sure he has an eye on Diarra's potential."

    "He is one of the more experienced players in a very, very young team," says Trésarrieu. "He won't be captain at Sunderland and he still has a lot to learn, but he is someone who likes to talk. He's a proud guy and very professional."

    Diarra was in-demand this summer, with Everton and Leeds United among the Premier League clubs to have shown an interest. He was on Sunderland's radar long before he further enhanced his fast-growing reputation with a goal to cap a fine display for Senegal in the shock win over England at the City Ground in June.

    French football expert Joachim Durand told Transfermarkt: “Unlike other young Ligue 1 players who leave very soon after their breakthrough season, Diarra waited. He has already played almost 100 games in Ligue 1. That experience could reduce the time needed for him to adapt to the Premier League, compared to others. I wouldn't say there's one particular quality that stands out in Habib Diarra. But that's precisely because he can do everything. He's a box-to-box midfielder with an array of talents."


    Edit - missed this decent bit:

    It's not difficult to see why Le Bris was so keen on the idea of Habib Diarra when the Frenchman sat down with the club's recruitment chiefs. Firstly, Diarra is versatile, crucial in the eyes of Le Bris. The 21-year-old is most comfortable playing as a right-sided No.8, but at Strasbourg he's been used as a holding midfielder, a No.10 and is even capable of slotting in to play at right-back or right wing-back.

    Been thinking with the lack of winger links

    Anyone reckon we shift one of Wilson / Mayenda to wide cover and sign two strikers?

    In another life I used to be based near Portsmouth, which I can definitely say and I’m sure you can confirm is a proper dive.

    Id definitely prefer salisu than Caleta-car, past Zeze and Gasiorowski there's not loads that seem in reach + good enough

    Gasiorowski would be right up there for me, he's one of the best young CBs I've ever scouted

    Was talking to some Valencia fans the other day and they genuinely think he's got more potential than any of the others there, which says a lot when mosquera is on the verge of arsenal and the other 2 are so highly rated.

    Just say he needs consistency and game time somewhere to thrive.

    Gasiorowski and Cresswell as two incoming centre backs would be fantastic and offer long term development and protection of investment.

    we wouldnt have made him perm in Jan just to sell months later.

    just BS, even If we were getting a new striker in he would still want to be apart of it

    As I've said, RLB is looking for versatility and Isidor can cover left-wing

    I don’t think there’s anything in it but I also think we absolutely would make a 4m permanent signing in the knowledge we could sell them for 10-12 easily a few months later.

    Agreed. But in this instance I'd probably not settle for less than £20m for Isidor if somebody randomly did want him.
