Our prospective new midfielder Samba Diakite is playing for Mali v Ghana in the ACON at 7.00 on Eurosport. Ghana are Africa's top team so we should get a good idea of his quality from this game...
There sems to be 3 Diakites in the Mali team and one with a very similar name! Anyone know which number is "ours"?
We were linked to Ghana's Ghanaian/Norwegian goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey a month ago, here's a chance to have a look at him though he was a NW target imo. Think Samba Diakite is the number 20, has a specific way of running after the youtube videos I've seen.
Adam well known by my son and his friends here - he looked worse than Paddy on those last 2 balls in the air!
Wrote this on a thread 26/12/2011: http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/111655-Norwegian-R-s-Adam-Kwarasey-any-good?highlight=adam+kwarasey Decent goalkeeper playing for a young side doing well in the Norwegian top flight. What i've seen of him is that he's a good shot stopper but lacking command and presence in the area. Seem to remember him getting plenty of plaudits after his international debut against Brazil at Craven Cottage. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...ional-friendly That should sum him up nicely
He's sitting just in front of the centre backs and the game is passing him by a lot of the time. Mali are playing such a defensive set-up it's becoming like a game of chess. They were unlucky with the free kick that hit both posts...
Me too. The guy has only touched the ball twice and once it was a bad pass and the second was a foul. I hope its just this game
