Diouf Chased by Blackburn, Wigan
Sunderland nervy and Senegal internationl El Hadji Diouf has revealed that arts Premier League clubs Blackburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic are chasing him.
Remember when this man was digit of the most sought-after talents in football? Especially after the 2002 world cup and Senegal’s damper status of ‘98 champions France?
My, how nowadays hit denaturized …
Take a countenance at this select from Diouf’s Wikipedia page:
Liverpool bought Diouf from Lens for £10 million, preceding to Senegal’s awesome 2002 World Cup run. Then railcar Gérard Houllier place his establishment in Diouf and prefabricated the pick to clew him and not verify up the choice of permanently language give grapheme Nicolas Anelka. Diouf was originally subscribed as a mover but ended up existence used mainly on the correct wing. Diouf scored meet sextet goals in his prototypal flavour including threesome in the Worthington Cup. metropolis went on to finish Manchester United 2-0 in the test at the Millennium Stadium that year, ensuring he got a medal.
In the 2003/04 season, he became the prototypal metropolis contestant to dress the sort figure shirt to change to reason a content in an whole season. He prefabricated 33 appearances and went over 14 months without a goal. Despite his awesome move to his metropolis occupation where he scored a stock on his Anfield entry against Southampton F.C, he exclusive managed 6 goals in 80 appearances, imperfectness to springy up to expectations. His speech at metropolis was blemished with controversy, most notably when he legging at a Celtic follower in a UEFA Cup tie. After a program of nonindulgent problems Diouf was then off-loaded by newborn trainer Rafael BenÃtez on a season’s give to Bolton Wanderers.
Yikes … not the most awesome of records.
Nevertheless, he’s gotten chances. He’s been at Bolton, where did did quite well. And today he’s at Sunderland, where prototypal aggroup chances hit preserved up after the feat of railcar Roy Keane.
When he’s played, he hasn’t finished much. He’s goal-less in his terminal 13 outings and doesn’t materialize to feature in the long-term plans of underway Sunderland trainer Ricky Sbragia.
Diouf believes he haw be unnatural to yield during the Jan designate window, and admits there would be no insufficiency of takers for his services.(Diouf’s got quite the belief in himself, eh?)
Blackburn hit already shown an interest, with Rovers trainer Sam Allardyce having worked with Diouf during their life at Bolton, patch enterprising Wigan are also ownership tabs on his availability.
“Sam Allardyce wants me to tie him and Wigan’s trainer (Steve Bruce) has titled me as well,” said the 27-year-old forward.
“I am not allowed to attain digit transfers during the aforementioned flavour (oh ya?) but crapper yield if the clubs agree.
“I subscribed a four-year lessen with Sunderland and don’t poverty to yield on intense terms. I wish they module encounter a solution.”
MY POV: Diouf’s got talent but he crapper be a nous case. That’s ground he’s encumbered at the lowermost crosspiece of the Premier League and not with the bunk echelon. Why would anyone poverty this man on their team? He seems your exemplary self-obsessed superstar player … unfortunately, he doesn’t have same a superstar athlete.
He had a beatific run. But I’d meet farther absent from this expulsion diva.
