I think that he will make them a force to be reckon with again. Well they would need to make sureHEN-REE, forget that On REE shit in meh ears (i saying it like Trini) don't bounce to Barca first.
I said it here many a times, Diop is a world class footballer waiting to happen. First off, the man big, about 6'4 and over 200 pounds. He's fast, can tackle, dribble, head the ball, works tirelessly and have a POWERFUL shot with either foot.
What the hell Fergie waiting on astounds me. Plus Diop has already proven his class in the Prem. I would hate to see him go to Assnal... hate it! There is also Ali Sulley Muntari, a Ghananian at Udinese. He plays with Essien in Ghana's midfield and he is similar to Diop in many respects, except, he is more mobile, has a higher work rate and works from box to box. Trust meh, these two are destined for bigger things.
