The Yan Diomande deal is fascinating to me, it really feels like there are a lot of rumours about him but nobody truely knows where he’s going. I am going to put my neck on the line here I think we get him and Barcola.
Just becuase people are purely speculating on this.

I think Robbolfc said we would get both before the WC.

He's going down the pan, lad.

From all that's been said here, I don't think he goes anywhere.
What will be interesting and will speak a lot to the player will be how he responds.
From what I've read of him personally, I would guess he responds well with good attitude and hopefully even sees the light that maybe his representatives are putting him down a bad path.
Although more cynically, I could guess that his representatives have him ties up in all sorts of contract that he may not even have the option to move away without massive penalties. This or just him being influenced by them could ruin his mentality and attitude and honestly scupper his career.
I do feel bad for him, honestly.

For me it's all agent speak, putting out rumours and fake bids to drum up the price and interest.

Unfortunately for the lad, as it turned out, the World Cup came at exactly the wrong time for the lad - his star was on the rise and the big move was on the cards. Unfortunately, his team didn't stand out and he didn't shine for his team.
Then, Roc Nation decided, seemingly, to feather their own nest rather than try and represent the interests of their client.
The end result appears to be that he may need a couple of years and a change of agent before another chance comes around.

As soon as we heard his agents were playing games, I said they've cocked any possibility of transfer altogether; I reckon he'll have to down tools to get a move now, unless RBL are willing to cut the price. Personally, I've lost all respect and interest.
