It would be a dream signing. If we could get back to the standards in defence as we managed in 22/23, then if we hang on to Bruno, Gordon and Isak, then what a foundation.

[TonyODOnnell-ttgh]

My view is Chris, Mark. If we want to mix it with the best, & ultimately aspire to be the best. This is the sort of player we should be trying to sign. The guys' Stat's dont lie. Cheer's lads for that video. i was aware of him. I just wasn't aware he was that

[JackBurton]

This is good news, we definitely need a CB with serious pace and who is physically very strong. Let’s have some of that African power.

And speaking of African power, I’d have Thomas Partey too if he wasn’t injury prone and Arsenal wanted to sell. He’s just incredible when he plays.

[DavidVeitch]

love the microphone you are using and Diomande would be a fabulous addition as we move towards winning the league, champions league and world club champions.

[smartgenes]

What we've needed for several seasons is a Creative Midfielder though.

[JTtoon]

This is the defender I have been hoping that we bring in by any means. £80m is a hell of a lot but he has an incredibly high ceiling and would fit right into our team. An absolute tank, so here's hoping. 🙏

[BigDom]

I agree with Ken brilliant young prospect but we will be lucky to to have 80 million to spend never mind just on one player

[raf]

Centre back has to be the top priority. Other positions can be addressed later on.

[johnwatson]

We have the best striker in the world imo yes let’s get the potential best centre half in the world in .

[jamesmilligan]

Id be happy with keeping everyone & getin al the injuries back!

[leechefski]

What would be nice, is if NUFC could find these 20-year old gems before they're costing 80 million euros! Sporting signed Diomande from FC Midtjylland for 7.5 million. Last year! Shame the illustrious Ashworth didn't notice him when he was in Denmark scouting Minteh!

[ianvincent]

another quality young cb would be an amazing addition getting Hall Liveramento Botman and him on the pitch together and getting them all on the same page could be priceless as we might get 10 years out of those 4 I love Schar and his ability to stay fit this season has been priceless but we can't look at him as a long term option I'd love us to find a goalkeeper we could get 10 years out of too an add him to the mix with our back 4 and let them develop their chemistry together. At the risk of sounding like a broken record though I still think a striker should be our top priority I was saying this last summer. Wilson and Isak will not stay fit all season and when we lose them we then lose gordon's best work as he's playing out of position. Thats where I see there being potential issues with this deal because we still need to improve in other positions too. Minteh looks like incredible business though.

[rogercookcouk]

He'd be incredible no doubt. Yet, of course depends on the £.
£80m CB is what we aspire to have. In a few seasons time.
Hope I'm wrong & we start at the back, again. GK, LB, DM, RW, FW first?

[Robert.Sheard]

Botman, Diomande, Schär, and Burn sorts us at CB, but that’s a hefty price, given our constraints.

[petertyson]

He would be a great Signing, to stop the goals leaking in, we need Pope fit and a top number 2 Keeper.

[drewsharratt]

Big Ousemame would top my wish list, along with; Marmadavashille (dunno how to spell it) GK
Then a top FWD/RW and a Tripps style LB would be handy too, to help nurture Hall 🤞🤞

[kenrobinson]

Looks like an amazing young centre half, but just can't see us spending 80m on the lad, will that not just blow our budget on 1 player when we desperately need players in other areas rw, cf, gk, etc. This would also make a 20yr old the toon most expensive player ever, I'm just not so sure. Nice to dream tho 😁

[danrobinson]

Diomande and Geertruida are my CB on FM24 and they're beasts! 😂

[mjcamp]

How amazing? 80m would make him the only signing of the summer, if he gets injured then what...? Can't see it happening when we only spent 45m on Sven, and likely need a striker to replace Wilson.

[mikewalton]

The kid looks like absolute quality. My only concern is how much do we have in the kitty to spend? Do we blow everything on him or take the other 2 on a free? I'm tempted to suggest trying to get numbers in each position rather than a big name. Our squad depth was shown up this year. We were so threadbare.
