Diao 'keen' on Stoke

[carheex]

..the news of the world have reported that "Liverpool striker, Salif Diao is to join Stoke on a 3 month loan deal".

Journalism at it's finest!

[GordonGecko]

Well he's not much of a midfielder.

[Morph]

They can call him a professional footballer for I care, just as long as we get rid of the fecker

[The Glove]

Play him anywhere, he'll be equally as ****e.

Liverpool's Senegal International midfielder Salif Diao is the latest player to be linked with a loan move to the Britannia Stadium, report Sky Sports News today. He has been tipped to be joining up with the Potters in a three month deal. Diao, a similar type of player to his International team-mate Aliou Cisse, who Stoke had on trial a couple of months ago, joined Liverpool for £5,000,000 back in 2002 but has failed to make an impact at Anfield and in recent years has spent loan spells at Birmingham City and, you've guessed it, Portsmouth. He has 24 caps for Senegal and has scored three goals. The same Sky Sports story also contains comments from Stoke's 2006 player of the year Carl Hoefkens, who indicates he's not happy with his current situation at the Britannia Stadium and could well be looking to get away from the club in the January transfer window. Carl's place has recently been taken up by Andy Griffin, who has extended his loan spell from Fratton Park, while another linked player, Rory Delap, can play there. Diao is also considered capable of playing on the right side of defence, although it's unknown if he's got any kiddies keeping him awake at night.

Quick, someone organise a whipround and pay the ***** wages!

Don't know which was funnier, him being a so called striker, a footballer even, or going out on loan, yeh right!!!!

[The Wolfman]

yeah i saw that and laughed today.

Is he really that bad and forgotten that people dont even know where he plays?

[The Wolfman]

no doubt jon p will say it is racism as they are confusing him with diouf who arrived at the same time and the journalist must think "all black people look the same to me"

Frozen out Liverpool midfielder Salif Diao could join Stoke City on loan.

The Senegal international is trying to secure a move away from the club and he could get his wish in the nex few days.

Sal said: "I need to be playing regular, competitive football and Stoke will give me that chance.

"The Championship is tough, but I need that to get my sharpness back."

If you thought it through, in this case it's more likely it would be have names that sound the same. I suspect that we're fobbing him off as a striker to get rid of him...

[Dhav]

Does any one think he is good enough for the Championship because I have my doubts

[Taffy]

If I was manager of my local team I wouldn't pick him for that!

Since you were talking to jules, I think we can rule out this possibility.
