Yep, it's like Christmas has come again.

Don't all rush down to get the name on your shirts today as it will be busy.

At least that's the right back cover sorted now.

If only we could just get a couple more forwards in though as we are really short around there.

I’ve got a feeling we might see him on the bench today.

I doubt it personally. I think they'd want to look at him in the development squad first.

We’ll see. I reckon he would have played last night otherwise (yes I know they only announced the signing this morning)

I do like the look of Diabate. Possibly because I wasn't expecting anything... in total honesty, less than anything.

He's rough around the edges maybe (and needs to learn to tackle ) but he's got the talents to bring on.

I like his work rate and willingness. He doesn't seem phased or over awed by the 'step up' to the Prem. As Puel said, he's ready.

Early days but it's been a promising start.

Yesterdays game looked like a good lesson for him. He was given much less time on the ball to think at this level compared to the Peterboro game and as a result lost the ball a fair bit. All in all you can tell he has good ability and I like his positivity on the ball. Could be a very good buy once hes settled in a bit more. Compare him with Gray who more often than not, cannot beat his man and just cuts back and plays the ball back...
