Diego Recalled

[Bladesway]

This board at time honestly beggars belief......

You have been rumbled Mr McCabe.

Dammit..... I was doing so well

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

This has to be the flakiest excuse to knock Utd yet ,what depths are we actually going to plummet to ?

Maybe McCabe has spent all his money on Peruvian prostitutes so we cant buy a striker
Maybe Clough has a clause where he must win without playing a striker
Maybe Baxter has been shagging McCabes in laws
Maybe Collins has had a 3some with Butler and Long
Maybe posters on here are finding ridiculous ways of slagging their own club off ?

Maybe only one of these is true.

Peruvian?

Not as rich as we all thought?

 

[Bladesman]

Bladesway is correct . What i cannot understand is that all the hype about the player has not come out of the club ., Even before his injury ( which was a bad one ) , he did not show the promise of being one of Europe's most talented youngsters , as reported in the press . Even La Gazzetta Dello Sport run a article on him .

He has been rated along side Lewis Holtby of Schalke (at the time ) due to Germany / England choice of national country. There is definitely a novelty factor in here somewhere , with his father , agent all believing , and buying in to the free publicity and PR. I hope he does make it with the Blades , but Mr Clough seems to have a eye for a young player , and is playing slowly slowly catch a monkey with him. The kid is only young and would be better off learning his trade at the Lane . Unfortunately he will go for the money , as many teams can afford to take a punt on him , and not feel the hurt if he doesn't make it.

Jordon Slew and many others come into mind .

Mr Clough was a forward / Striker . The young man could learn a lot . It is whether or not he wants to learn or thinks ( as his advisors ) he is already there.

Good luck to the lad.

UTB

True.

Why are we looking for a striker? Nigel best get his kit on and get back on the pitch!

 

[judge]

But you're the one who said there were 'strong rumours' about them falling out before his injury. Don't think he's had any others since the major one under Wilson so that can't be right.

To be honest i dont follow diegos career close enough tp know if he was injured or not i assumed it was didnt realise he had been out so long
i read posts on here that said clough had fell out with him over an argument over wearing a baseball cap and thought it more likely that diego is wanting bigger and better things than sufc

who are his advisors ???

There's never been a fallout with clough and diego it's just rumours

According to a few on here he appears to have an entourage akin to Ronaldo himself. He's also got a Ferrari with private number plate and houses in Milan, Monte Carlo, Miami and Mexborough.

Ahh well, player being gently eased back after very bad injury doesn't have the same chutzpah as 'he's not playing because he's a billy big bollocks and fallen out with the manager!" (see also the stories today re: Falcao at Man Utd, packing his knee with icepacks after ever game following a similar injury)

 

[wizadry]

There's never been a fallout but i think it's fair to say he's not Cloughy's sort of player.

Why's that?? Doesn't he run the channels enough??

 

[Going up]

Bryson, Hughes, Hendrick, Martin, Buxton, Reed..all brought in, given a chance or developed by Nigel. All different players, all with a quality that would fit, or do fit, straight into our team. Some cheap, some academy, some more expensive, all Clough "type" players.

From what I see, a Clough type player, is one who is professional in attitude and conduct and has the skill needed to honour the badge.

Which one is Diego? Billy big bollocks, jaw-breaking party goer, or professional footballer? Reckon it is up to him to decide. Buckle down, work hard and prove you are worthy of a first 11 Blades Shirt.

If Clough liked him he would play him,it really is that simple and that's why i put it's fair to say he isn't.

 

[Going up]

Ah, but he has played him!

He will play him again.

He also sent him away to play first team football and come back fit and sharp.

He also said he thought he might sneak a goal in the Crewe game. That suggests Clough rates him. At least enough to score in this division.

I suggest he is nursing and shaping a talent. A talent that had a major injury. Things in life are rarely as simple as they seem.

We will see mate,we will see.I for one hope you're right but i do have my doubts.

 

[Going up]

I hope so too Wizadry, for everyone involved.

We can't deny though, that Nigel does have a track record of bringing talent through, should it warrant it.

I just worry that the expectations of this year may stifle that kind of experiment in talent. If like The Manure manager, he had three years, we might see the risk taken more readily.

The thing with Diego is that he will be way back in the pecking order,especially when everyone's fit,and also Nige doesn't like to play strikers that often,if at all atm.

He's doing well with Reed though,and like sitters says he's managing him brilliantly but in that position he does have more chance of coming through.

Agree with you about expectations this year,and this will certainly have a bearing as you rightly say on how much game time he gets because anything other than promotion this year is not acceptable.

 

[upton blade]

I hope he starts tomorrow. .see what all the fuss is about.

 

[Going up]

Let's see if he can claim a spot and live up to all the hype! Hope so for everyone concerned. Would be great to have 4/5 genuine contenders for a striker's spot!

Can't say he hasn't had a chance to shine next to Porter. I'm sure that Chris will be out to impress too and Diego can get some chances laid off for him.

 

[mattbianco1]

He'll be off if he's got any sense, why play in division 3 if clubs in higher/better divisions want you. This board have zero ambition and we won't get out this division without proper support for Clough. I believe NC is the man to take us forward and bring someone like Diego on but he has no chance without full backing.

Yep. Why play L1 when you can play for Hull Reserves hey
