It seems as though the Mbaye Diagne to Leeds transfer rumour is not going away at the moment with the suggestion being that we are still scouting him.
A quick and powerful player, he’s certainly got some good attributes and has started this season well in Turkey with him hitting seven goals so far this season.
That’s a top return from five goals, make no mistake, but I just think that we’d be repeating the same mistakes if we went after him.
For a long time we’ve taken gambles on players like this and, more often than not they have backfired.
Let’s be honest, most of this current side we had written off until Bielsa had come in and so there’s surely only so many times he can get gambles playing.
With Diagne, there just seems a lot that can go wrong and, if it were up to me, we’d go after a more familiar, proven player.
