(Diomande developed a substance abuse problem, went home, spent six months not playing, then went to Saudi, Qatar and China all in 2021!. He did the usual weird stat line in each of playing eight or nine games — they really are weird renta-leagues — and then signed with Odd in Norway this year.)
Diomande was fast, strong and good wth his head despite not being that tall. Sort of an Ole Kamara type.
If he can land someone like Diomande up top, we can use the DP on a top holder or CB. But I suspect they see the money in goals, because they produce short-term hype, which is what short attention spans and the internet run on. (As someone with a famously short attention span due to ADHD, I still have little sympathy for any of it. Alvin Tofler was right.)
