Article on the interweb with an interview with French Journalist Julien Laurens a journalist based in London working for french daily Le Parisien, RTL and ESPN. http://92webzine.com/2013/08/19/int...-arsenal-newcastle-sunderland-the-world-cup/? ''JL: El Hadji Ba is a promising midfielder. He is also 20 and was followed by a few English clubs. He is strong physically, a good athlete, but good on the ball too. Roberge is a more surprising signing. Not many people knows him in France as he never played there as a pro. He left young to go to Greece and Portugal. He is a tall centre half (6 ft 3), very good in the air and clever. He reads the game well too. Like Roberge, Diakité never played in France and made a name for himself in Italy with Lazio. He is a force of nature, a ruthless centre half, good in the air and in the challenges. He is made for English football.'' Looks promising.
