Apparently Strasbourg have accepted an offer from Mackems for Diarra for $35.5m.

If he too good for us doubt he will sign for them.

One that got away I guess, but did we really want to invest so much in a player who will be away for a month with AFCON at a crucial time in the season?

Beaten to the punch by Sunderland! Not good.

Agree corkey. Gobsmacked. wtf ?.

Vid it’s an interesting point re AFCON - the group stage starts on 21 December and the final is on 18 January. If Diarra signs for Sunderland, he’ll be missing our clash at Stadium of Light on 27 December.

He would have made a significant, too big of a dent in our transfer budget, amazed no French club interested in him so can’t help but wonder if he is that good?
Rather the majority of budget went on Keeper and striker, must be able to unearth a midfielder from somewhere to do a job, Brighton and Brentford always manage to find them.

Agree with Class. Striker and keeper are main priority but don't forget we're fairly short of FB's. There are options for midfielders (of varying experience or potential) but on paper with the group of attackers we have in the squad we should be capable of creating chances.
Interested to see the movement out. Mes, Wober, JH, etc.

Absolutely Class, plus he would be away for the Africa Cup.
