Lets hope he's changed his attitude!! :thumbsup:

Great player!

Didn't take long!
Anyways.....Diarra next?

Great player but leopards don't change there spots.
Roller coaster ride coming.

Roller coaster ride coming.
Not sure I agree with that 100%, many players have had a bad attitude and have come through it eventually. Cantona for example
-
Might as well be optimistic on this - Oster wasn't an angel when we signed him but he knuckled down as he knew age was becoming an issue and if he wanted to spend his last 2 or 3 years at a decent level he had to perform.
Plus I think in some ways the clubs perceived low stature has to motivate these short term signings from day one. As with any \"shop window\" move, the player knows every performance counts. If I was a manager looking in on this situation from a top champtionship or lower premiership club I know I'd want my socks blown off by a player at Doncaster Rovers. The last thing Diouf wants is to come here and blow it, if he does its \"well he couldn't even do it at little Doncaster, we don't want him here at Cardiff/Bolton/Forest\". If he wants to stay in England he has to do well here as I can't see him wanting to ply his trade in L1.

lets hop we see plenty of this in next 3 month :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

El-Hadji Diouf, Diouf, Diouf,
Will you score a goal for me,
El-Hadji Diouf, Diouf, Diouf,
Will you score a goal for me,
With your left, with your right, with your head, or with you knee,
El-Hadji Diouf, Diouf, Diouf, will you score a goal for me
:thumbsup:
-
Not my kinda player but he will get the crowds and players fired up. scored 69 goals for country was in the world cup team of the tournament. and pele named him in his top 125 players ever !!! So lets get behind him ( least can't spit on you then)
-
Silly tit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOUYZz7gdTQ
What if he scores 12 goals in 8 games & we win 7 of them & draw 1?Will you be calling him a tit then? Would you prefer us to stay in the championship or to get relegated with a team full of `nice`players?
-
Thats PHLEGmatic I mean
Allardyce was quoted as saying he didn't sign Diouf because he was miles away from being match fit. So I dont expect to see him tomorrow.
-
f**king tit.

He will still be a vile, disgusting piece of scum if he fired us to the premier league to be honest.
-
He's a f**king tit no matter how \"brilliant\" he is at football.
Skidmark on the underpants of English football.
-
so happy about this signing! When you think. Doncaster Rovers signing a player that has cost clubs over 12 million pounds all in all. Idiot or not, he is a class player, especially in this league.

You're not expected to go out for a pint with him.
-
Really don't understand where this nonsense about him being a brilliant player has come from anyway. Had a decent World Cup 9 years ago and people thought he was the messiah. He hasn't really proven anything other than he's a f**king tit.
He's a big name, for some reason, and that's what gets people excited - not his footballing \"skills\". His strike rate is piss poor, worse than Heffernan's and he's never played at this level so how do you know he's class at this level?
Some people chat utter garbage.

I'd have Hitler playing if he produced the goods on the pitch.

(obviously if they were alive hitler and gadaffi)
-
Big Sam turned him down as he's out of shape and could prove disruptive on and off the pitch.
No such qualms for us.

It's alright for West Ham who are sitting pretty at the top. We're in a relegation scrap and needed a striker.

Is that possible though? That's my point.
West Ham don't NEED a striker, so they can afford the luxury of turning him down. We really do, so we're bound to take a chance on a player that others in better positions might reject.
-
Top class t**t no doubt but he`s better than what we`ve got at the moment and thats what counts in my eyes, have people forgot about some of the t**ts we`ve had playing for us before?
Was n`t Jamie Lawrence recently tagged when he played for us?
Colin Sutherland, say no more?
And who was that player that threw his wife down the stairs and killed her, I think he played for Scarborough as well, are have I dreamed that one up?
-
This forum makes me chuckle, we could sign Messi and some people still wouldn't be happy

And my point is if we do NEED a striker then it would make sense to sign a fit one. Surely with McKay's incredible contact book we'd get one who is both affordable and match-fit.
We signed Giles Barnes even though he'd had no pre-season and wasn't fit. I'm yet to see evidence that he's fully fit. It will take Diouf a fair while to get to a level where he can do himself justice.

You haven't dreamt him up although those weren't the circumstances of his manslaughter charge, I believe it was a fight outside a nightclub? I believe the \"stairs\" incident happened to another former player. Not that its a trivial matter but I recall on one of the old forums it was worked out that we could put together a DRFC Prison XI.
-
Give the guy a chance,maybe what we need sharp and diouf up front ,take sum pressure of sharp ,now we need sum muscle in midfield and woods back.may have a chance off staying up.

-
Some of you are just unbelievable,any chance we can see the lad play before you hang him out to dry!!!!!!
I am convinced some on here wont be happy until we are back in the conference so they can smile smugly and say i told you so....
:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
-
Obviously those slating the signing won't remember the likes of Padi Wilson, Prince Moncrieffe, and the Esdaille brothers. All of who did time, mainly for drug dealing.
Get a grip and get behind the guy while he is here.
-
One thing i know for certain is i awoke this morning feeling ok, now i feel better than that. Good signing, ok might not be fit, but i am sure it wont take too long to get fit.
Couldn't care less about his past, everyone has one, or they have lived a sheltered life, the difference being he was in the public eye.
Ok, not everyones cup of tea, but whilst here he will recieve my support as do all the players.
-
What do we call him ........ El? ;)
-
Get a grip and get behind the guy while he is here.
Well said Mr F , Give the lad a chance ,he's only here for an initial 3 months at a cost of 24k, and if he can help us get another 25 points on the board then i'll be more than happy.
-
Are we signing Bob Carolgese as his minder
lol
-
This forum makes me chuckle, we could sign Messi and some people still wouldn't be happy
Messi isn't a tit.
-
the guys an absolute tool....but I'm not bothered, cos he'll terrorise most championship defences!
-
Lets be honest, if everyone agreed with each other and saw the 'good' in everything and everyone, this forum would be pointless, and football (the greatest sport in the world) would be boring!
Also, El Hadji Diouf spat at an 11 year old Celtic fan! How would you react if it was your son etc?
First class C**t!
-
So he's a tool, so what. We only have him for 3 months and considering the fact that we had only one striker in the 16 on Saturday it's something we need. If he does well he will be off in Jan and we will have a few more points. If he's crap he will be off in Jan and we will be no worse off. I suppose what fans of other clubs who to be fair have only patronised us in the past mean more to some than our club trying to pull itself out of the relegation places.
-

But some on here would still find something to moan about him? :headbang:

[attachment=858]dioufspitting.jpg[/attachment]
It'll be worth all the hassle as long as Lewis Dunk has to wipe some off his face.
-
Tit or no tit he's here and he's a rovers player who would of thought we'd have a player of his calibare at Doncaster on the cold days watching us play the likes of Leek town on a boxing day with 500 fans there, we've come a huge way in ten years & theres still more than half of the town as Leeds fans, so were not doing too bad.
on the other hand don't be suprised to see Billy exit the club to free the wages up for the others to come in. just worries me where we go if we can't sign these players on longer deals in Jan.
Lewis Dunk is attracting prem sides, so Diouffy might not get the chance to spit in his face, or as Jason Bent aka 110% says \" I think the red card was harsh as it wasn't a greeny\" ha
-
Also, El Hadji Diouf spat at an 11 year old Celtic fan! How would you react if it was your son etc?
I`d smack him in the mouth for being cheeky to a footballer! ;)

This is a guy who, having seen a fellow player lying on the turf with his leg in three pieces, thought it suitable to say \"f you and f your leg\".
Maybe that's what Dean meant when he said he wanted a few more \"Roy Keane types\".

Don`t forget that Alfie Halland did the same to Keane previous to Keane knee capping him!
-
Don't get me wrong he will get my support when he's on the pitch as will any player who wears our shirt, BUT even if he scored 40+ goals and fired us to the premier league imho he would still be a vile piece of work that i dislike. Any man that says \"fetch your 1 year old daughter i'll f**k her too\" wants castrating.
-
He`s not all bad though and does do charity work
In 2003, when he spat at a Celtic fan, he proceeded to donate two weeks wages to a charity of Celtic’s choosing. He is also founder and patron of The Dioufy Foundation, which focuses on helping the disadvantaged children in Senegal and the United Kingdom

Micky Norbury was the wife-and-stairs (I think it was his girlfriend actually). Jimmy Kelly was the one who went down for manslaughter after killing someone in a fight outside a night club.
Don't forget that we also had Billy Whitehurst. Similar sort of character to EHD- a very short fuse. Let's hope Diouf has mellowed a bit and concentrates on scoring goals.
-
We've signed a world class striker for at least a dozen Championship games, and there's angst on here that he missed Sunday school classes in Senegal in the late 80s.
OK, he's a w**ker, but he's our w**ker and he'll help keep us in the Championship.
I'm more interested/horrified about our internal and external media coverage over this relative coup.
The official site says the Diouf signing awaits paperwork \"clearence\", and the Sporting Life site says we'll need Diouf because our striker \"Billy Clark\" is missing through family issues.
-
World Class?

Everyone keeps calling him a striker...hasn't be played primarily on the wing for the past several years?
-
I think it's safe to say the bloke is a cunt but he's OUR cunt. I don't care if he slaughters babies for fun and pisses on old ladies as long as he bangs 'em in for us.
I'm not sure if it's escaped anyone but we're in a relegation scrap already, lets at least frigging scrap.

Little colourful thats all!!
Has he killed anyone?
Footballed acting a dick shocker!!!
-
And not forgetting David Roche who left us, played 4 games for Southend before getting shot and then jailed for drug related offences
-
Also he's been training with Wigan for a few months now so he shouldn't be massively out of shape.
-
So, as a club we've fielded drug dealers, wife beaters, people convicted of killing and amateur porn stars. Many of whome have been signed whilst Saint John Ryan has been chairman.
Family club my arse!
:woohoo:
-
[attachment=861]664164-1.jpg[/attachment]
-
Thing is, he has not took a deal with other clubs (depending if he has actually been approached!). So if he is in the DRFC 'Shop window' using us as a stepping stone to greater pastures then SURELY he will realise that he MUST kerb it and be professional as if not no-one would piss on him if he was on fire.
Regarding lack of fitness, wasn't this said by some about Parkin and look at how he performed. He will have kept up with training and he must be a player who Saunders wants so is he key to the 'new' mould of DRFC??
We ARE the committments, and he IS our Mickah Wallace!! :boxing:
:scarf:

Piers Edwards,
BBC African football correspondent
You can look at the move in two ways. Firstly, how the mighty have fallen after a man listed as one of Pele's best 125 footballers ever drops into English football's second tier at the age of 30. The other is respect for the fact that Diouf so loves playing that he's prepared to move to struggling Doncaster to continue taking to the field. Ageing he may be - but his class should still tell
-

He hasn't played as a striker for almost ten years!
He's also only scored 17 goals in the last 7 years..
World Class?!?!?

Diouf Quotes on signing for us
Diouf told Sky Sports News: \"I'm focused on doing my best for this club and after that we'll see what happens.\"
\"It's the challenge. I signed to help the team, do my best and play my football,\"
\"I'll try to make myself fit and why not try to help this team stay up?\"

Well he's saying the right things anyway.

Well he's saying the right things anyway.
That won't wash with some Rovers fans.
They'll want a one-on-one Q&A session with him, so they can establish exactly what he's going to do.

We all know the situation. He's here for 3 months and may leave at the end. IF he plays well and moves good luck to him but we'll have had 3 months benefit of that. If he's rubbish we'll let him go. If neither of those happen he may actually want to play football, enjoy it here and extend his deal, either way it's a no brainer of a good deal, no way will we ever get a player like him signing a 2-3 year contract, why would a player of his stature want to join a club like us for any other reason?

Just to remind people of the outcry there was when this bloke joined:
Football stars jailed over brawl
Bristol City captain Brooker was jailed for 28 days
Three professional footballers who admitted taking part in a drink-fuelled brawl at a nightclub last October have been jailed.
Wales international David Partridge, 27, and Bristol City team mates, Scott Brown, 21, Bradley Orr, 23, and Steve Brooker, 25 were charged with affray.
On Friday at Bristol Crown Court, Orr and Brooker were jailed for 28 days, Partridge was sent down for two months.
He was also ordered to pay £1,000 compensation to a doorman.
City centre
Brown was given 120 hours' community service for his part in the brawl.
The court heard the quartet were on an evening out when violence erupted as Partridge was ejected from the Romeo Browns nightspot in Bristol city centre.
Prosecutor Robert Davies told the court Partridge \"lost control\" and charged at the club's doormen.
He became involved in a fight with the bouncers and his team mates then became involved.
Orr, who was sent off recently for headbutting a team-mate in City's 3-1 win at Northampton, was ordered to pay £2,500 in defence costs.
A spokesman for Bristol City FC said: \"The club is very disappointed by the judgement and, together with the players and their legal advisors, will be looking at all the options available to them.
\"No further statement will be issued by the club until these options have been clarified.\"
No i can't find it either - nor did anyone boo him when he came on to score the equaliser with his first touch in a Rovers shirt at Watford, hypocrites.
Diouf may be rubbish - but you can be sure he ain't any worse than most of the rest of the squad, and on a lot less money!
-
I think we've done this before, it's not some moral crusade about what he gets up to in his own time - it's about the potential damaging effect on the dressing room, and the subsequent effect on the whole teams performance on the pitch that is being questioned.
-
It's not really him - just his spitting image:P
-
look if we get diouf ,salli and diarra for 3months great we may have a chance to stay up, these are world class players.
-
Logic of some people is strange, someone can be a vile human being, say things like \"I f your 1 year old daughter\", threaten to shoot people, they can spit at people, taunt people who are on the floor in agony, incite riots.
But if they're a footballer it's ok.
-
He's served his time for his offences in the past...let it lie.
No-one in their right mind could honestly say that his signing is anything but pure gold. What a fantastic display of what Mackay can do for the crappy south yorkshire pub team eh??! I don't care if Diouf is only here for 3 months because he's head and shoulders above any other attacking player (apart from Sam Hird obviously) at the club right now. Mackay could be a name we're singing from the stands like we do now with John Ryan....who knows?
I would say to the nay say'ers about Dioufs arrival - get a grip or go wallow in misery at some other club. Rovers are trying to go places and you can't fault Mackays involvement so far can you....Illunga, Chimbonda, Diouf...Totally amazing set of players that I never ever thought in my wildest dreams would be playing for the team I started watching getting relegated from the football league all those years ago!!
-

Agree completely, massively concerned about the effect on the dressing room. The bloke is disgusting, wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire!
-
Whatever some of you think, cheering, \"dressing rooms\" and all the other silly psuedo-psychology pales into insignificance over the fact that these players are all kicking a ball around. It's got nothing more to do with the fact that they're either up for it, or they,re not, or they're Sam Hird, or Messi. Diouf will add some talent and threat to a poor team....nothing but good can come from that surely?!
Or do some of you expect him to walk into the dressing room spitting at everyone and scuffling with mal purchase? Sometimes I wonder that if it was Messi who was joining Rovers for 3 months you'd be saying things like \"well, he can't do as many keepy uppies as Leo Fortune West could do (and trust me, his record was 9..I used to count them every pre match)\" or \"OOH, I don't like Messi's hair\".
Rovers are a club that are still deep in the shit, Diouf is a paddle to our canoe.

Top post! the man is here to play football not win a popularity contest I doubt he will be wanting to go to the pub with any of us.. I hope he delivers on the field .

Mackay could be a name we're singing from the stands like we do now with John Ryan....who knows?
I would say to the nay say'ers about Dioufs arrival - get a grip or go wallow in misery at some other club. Rovers are trying to go places and you can't fault Mackays involvement so far can you....Illunga, Chimbonda, Diouf...Totally amazing set of players that I never ever thought in my wildest dreams would be playing for the team I started watching getting relegated from the football league all those years ago!!
-
Im sure if the players want to stay at the club they will all buckle down and get on with it. The fact of the matter is he is a class player. A player who has played at the highest level. Ok he is not the kind of bloke you want your kids to look up to. The reason we don't win games is we are to nice and that needs to change fast. We all wanted new players now we are getting them people are not happy.
-
And just think how many extra bums on seats his arrival will add??! All those \"can't be arsed\" fans might now think a little differently. Add that to a little winning streak and anything could happen.
It's nothing but a totally good move all round. Well done to the board, Mackay, Dean Saunders, Sam Hird, me, the burger van down white rose way, sanjiv Baskar, the pope, and Sir Jimmy Saville OBE RIP.

Stolen from another forum this made me laugh.
WE ARE JUST A GASTRO PUB TEAM HAVING A LAUGH :scarf:

If he brings the goods on the field, I'm all for it. I imagine abuse from the away end will get him fired up, he'll be well used to it by now.
-
I think it's a great signing my only concern is why did DS say on SSN that West Ham offered him a deal and we did well to tempt him here when it is widely reported that Big Sam decided NOT to offer a deal?
This time last year we had waide fairhurst now we have diouf - massive difference
-
so what he is a bad lad .........thats in the past .....if he screws up one more time no one want to know.....
Pele suggested in 100 of all time ....lets get real perhaps one of the most gifted footballers to wear the red and white shirt!\"

spot on norfolk,lets get on with giving our total support to whoever dons the red n white hoops

What shirt number will he have ,666 ,its not like we,ve signed Charles Manson or Lee Hughes . He maybe a total fruit loop,but I think he will be committed to the cause,it will be very interesting the recepition he gets at away grounds . As always being a Rovers supporter is never boring
-
He comes with history which has two sides. One side of Diouf is a bit of an animal, slightly immature and probably guilty of not carrying himself in the correct way given the position he has within society. The footballing side of Diouf is unquestionable, appearences at a World Cup, the African Cup of Nations and African player of the year. He's fetched over £12 million in transfer funds and lets face it, he can play a bit. If he really is up the challenge he will dig us out of the position we find ourselves in and get the team going along the way.
Lets get behind the bloke and hope he keeps his head on, he's thirty now so maybe he has learnt a few lessons.
-
Just ask yourselves this -
El-Hadji Diouf or James Hayter, Chris Brown, James Coppinger? Nothing against them, of course, but that guy is a million miles away from them in terms of talent, presence, and imagine being a defender playing against him, Bennett, Sharp, Barnes..! There can't be a defence in the whole of the UK at any level who would relish the prospect?!

shirt number 19 i think

I think we've done this before, it's not some moral crusade about what he gets up to in his own time - it's about the potential damaging effect on the dressing room, and the subsequent effect on the whole teams performance on the pitch that is being questioned.
Agree completely, massively concerned about the effect on the dressing room. The bloke is disgusting, wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire!
Wouldn't need to, he can do that for himself! :laugh:
-
Sign Raul Moat to solve the keeper crisis. A corpse would probably do better.
I've had time to think now.
I'm not that bothered, I just think that people on here are so 2 faced. One week they murder the fans for swearing at the match because they take their kids and the next week they're standing up for a footballer who is more than a t**t. Double standards. That's all they'll ever be.
No one knows if he's a good signing, he's NEVER played in the Championship before and it's widely regarded as one of the most competitive and unpredictable leagues in the world so who knows how good he'll be. He's not world class either, get that out of your head. He is, however, a media whore therefore the spotlight will be on him and not our results so we can go quietly about our business now. If the results come, I couldn't really care.
---------------------
Also, may I remind everyone when David Norris visited the Keepmoat and every touch was greeted with a chorus of boos and abuse that wouldn't be out of place at a comedy roast of Kim Jon Il and all he did was celebrate for his friend. Double. Standards.
-
Every boo from other fans should be met with a cheer from us he is a drfc player now for 3 months to start with anyway

This forum makes me chuckle, we could sign Messi and some people still wouldn't be happy
Too small. ;)

All have different attributes - can't see Diouf running his knackers off like Hayter or spending his career getting knees in his back like Chris Brown. On skill, I'd hazard that Copps is in same league as Diouf. Perhaps not same level, but certainly same league.

Stupid hair cut and I have never seen him defend a corner f**king s**t

I've had time to contemplate all this and from the time we were first linked I've changed my stance. I was originally dead against it like many, but in a way beggars can't be choosers and let's give the guy a chance. Let's hope the football does the talking and may be, just may be, his effect on the opposition will be enough to distract them from their game and give us an edge.
When Copps came on, on Saturday and started to link up with Chimbonda, you can see that perhaps with a few more games, these players will have a positive effect and lift our regular players to better things.
I also noticed Chimbonda and Ilunga chatting to the ref at every opportunity, especially at free kicks. Now we've been lacking a bit of gamesmanship and if these players can 'influence' refs just a little bit in our favour then I'm all for it. I'm fed up of being the 'little' meek and mild Donny Rovers getting kicked up in the air without fuss and as soon as we touch the opposition, refs are being hounded in to dishing out bookings etc.
May be now we'll get some character in to our team. In fact, thinking about it, let's make Diouf the captain !! Sorry Gorgeous George, being nice to the opposition is over, time to grow your beard again.
-
No problems morally for me. His past behaviour is of little consequence if he does the business for us.
It doesn't particularly excite me as a signing, I've never been taken by chasing names, but there is potential for it to work. He's a character and if he gets people through the turnstiles and helps to get points on the board then it can only be a good thing for the club.
There will be a difficulty building a team when it comes to managing egos on three month contracts, but that's the route we're taking and the challenge ahead.

100% agree with that.
Whoever put Lee Hughes in the same breath as Charles f'n Manson is getting a bit carried away as well - bit harsh on Hughes now come on! That said Diouf certainly is another few rungs down the ladder of villain than Hughes, and certainly Manson! Diouf's a bit of a tosser, Hughes is irresponsible and Manson is pure evil.
Which player is going to make way for Diouf then? Presuming Barnes isn't injured of course..
-
Does Billy now become redundant? Possibly. Diouf is a very good player, and h will no doubt imporove Rovers chances of winning, Let's hope so, I just hope he is able to keeep out of bother whilst playing for us. The last thing we want is the image of the club being spoilt, but with a bit of luck results will improve.
-
I assume he'll be competing for a left sided midfield berth however, tomorrow I'm thinking Saunders may give him a license to play more central off Hayter. Probably Barnes to make way ??
-
Diouf has got a reputation and every football fan knows it.
In fairness to him though he's come to Donny with a point to prove, and wanting to stay in english football. I am sure he could of took an easy option and gone off and played football in a foreiegn country for a lot more than we are paying him. He knows 90% of fans in the U.K despise him so it must take some balls to keep on playing over here.
Lets get behind him and see what he can do, Im pretty sure he can do more for this club in 3 months than some of the players we have carried for years have done!
Come on Rovers!!
-
Diouf isn't an out-and-out goalscorer though is he? Pretty sure he will play with Sharp rather than instead of him.

So THAT's why I've seen Dave Parker around the Keepmoat these last few games....

Thankfully, that is true.

doncaster rovers pay 30,000pound weekly for diouf broken bank? i saw newpaper something say ? http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/218539/Deano-s-El-of-a-gamble-of-Hadji-Diouf/ i dont know or not
-
What an absolute load of b*llocks that article is.
-
The deal has been funded by owner and chairman John Ryan, who has dipped into his own pocket to meet Diouf’s £30,000-a-week wage demands
f**king hell, and they do a degree in journalism!
