good news for us. he wont be going african nations cup. if he stays in january that is

Maybe that's why he's retired. Makes him more sellable in January the fact that he's here in Blighty instead of sunning himself in deepest, darkest Africa.

Has to pay for his own airfare to national games. What a tightwad. Perhaps good news for us come January. Probably not.

Probably, then come out of international retirement when he gets a move or an improved deal

Totally agree with your deeper thinking on this one Micky.

 

We need to be sitting in mid-table come January or Doiuf and Anelka will be off, quoting the need to play for a club that are challenging for a Euorpean place next season.

Talking of which, did anyone watch Pompey yesterday? Their front 5 players are all African (Muntari, Benjani, Kanu, Diop, Utaka). 'Arrys going to have a major problem come January...

Best news today!

 

Diouf, Diouf wherever you maybe,

you spit for the BWFC,

It could be worse you could have stayed a red, chucking down walls and pissing on the dead.

I'd sell him in January.

 

He flatters to deceive at every opportunity.

His whining, diving and persistent petulance are a right pain in the arse.

There's very little end product and when did he last score a league goal?

Yep, very few assists and no goals. As a regular in the front three not good enough.

 

Tabloids were talking anywhere ?6m - ?10m in the summer - fantastic value if we could get anywhere near that.

Fair point

You know when diouf has a bad game he starts moaning at everything. give him credit though when he does play well he does ceate things for us with his close control out wide but one good game every 2/3 isn't ood enough t any level. Still wouldn't want him to go though but more than likely will do

Diouf gets plenty of assists, so my FF team says so anyway

 

But, you are correct, he couldn't score in a Breightmet brothel with a ?50 note hanging out of his flies.

I'd sell him in January.

We're a better team with him in it than without him, of that I have no doubt.

But surely that's an indication of how poor a squad we have, not a measure of Diouf's quality.

and another reason not to sell him presents itself

Looks like they've offered to pay his plane fare then. The coach has included him in the squad:

Diouf in Senegal squad

 

El Hadji Diouf will be in the latest Senegal squad

Senegal coach Henri Kasperczak has included striker El Hadji Diouf in the squad to face Guinea on Sunday despite the player announcing his retirement from international football.

 

Diouf made the announcement on a Senegalese radio station on Monday, citing the continued organisational problems with the Teranga Lions.

 

Kasperczak said: "I understand the player.

 

"Not only is he the captain of the team and so must sometimes mark his territory, but he also wants others to face up to their responsibilities.

 

"I can do nothing to force him but what I can do is talk to El Hadji because this issue is in the interest of the Senegalese nation.

 

"He is a model within the squad and in any case, since I have been coach of Senegal he has never let me down, he has always behaved nobly.

 

"Frankly I don't understand what has motivated his decision, but I do believe that only discussion can change things, especially as the player is so well loved by the Senegalese public.

 

"We know all about his contribution on the pitch. El Hadji has always drenched his jersey [with sweat] for the well-being of the team.

 

"It is always a sense of pride for Diouf to wear the national colours."

 

Diouf also threatened to stop playing for the Teranga Lions in the wake of the 2002 World Cup finals when coach Bruno Metsu quit as the Senegal coach.

 

Returning to the squad for the first time under Kasperczak are Souleymane Diawara of French side Bordeaux and Abdoulaye Faye of English Premier League club Newcastle United.

 

Both players had been excluded from previous squads following disciplinary problems under Senegal's previous coach Abdoulaye Sarr.
