He scored in the first game against us and from what I saw, yeah he can dribble but I thought his biggest attribute and what stood out the most was his determination to win the ball back. Made it difficult for us to do our possession style. But it's difficult to give a full appraisal as in both games he didn't play a full game. Off early in the second half of the first game and came on late in the second game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I saw Colombia v Peru last night and Diaz did not stand out. He hung onto the ball too much and was quite easily disposessed a few times. Colombia have now gone 6 WC qualifiers without scoring a goal, which is not entirely down to him but he is part of a disfunctional unit. Colombia played a basic 4 4 2 last night with strong support from overlapping full backs. Diaz was on the left wing and moved infield when the FB overlapped. Peru won 1-0 down to a howler from goalie Ospina. First shot for them after 80 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible from Ospina. Colombia has Diaz, James, Falcao and Cuadrado and can't score a goal. Something is amiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Looks like we've put in a 5m bid for Fulham's Carvalho. He can remain with the cottagers till the end of the season.

Didn't get that one through in time as loan back details could not be sorted before the deadline. We can always try again when his contract runs down at the end of the season if we decide. He passed a medical and a fee was agreed. But the EFL rules meant a Deal Sheet (which normally gives more time to resolve administrative issues) could not be used on this occasion so transfer could not be completed in time Edited February 1, 2022 by wilai update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Nat Phillips has joined Bournemouth on loan. Fee was 1.5m for the rest of the season plus addons if they get promotion. Neco Williams has also been loaned to Fulham. Again till the end of the season. No fee mentioned initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to think they just could do the deal now as agreed yesterday and just forward date the deal to the end of the season. I hope they'll announce him first day of the summer window.

Allegedly it was the EFL who wouldn't allow a 'Deal Sheet' to be submitted for the loan back part of the signing. Whether a deal sheet went in on time is another issue. If not before 11pm then it couldn't be used anyway. The likes of BVB and other clubs may try for him so nothing is guaranteed till he's leaning on the Academy wall!???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
