Is that the same as a forward pass? |  | |  |

Yes, but imagine some lines, and that they are being broken. |  |

Yes, but in 'technical football' speak. |  |

Genuinely baffled(and delighted) that we've got him. How the hell did the big boys not snap him up? |  |

Also curious as to how much we’re paying him. |  |

I think "Pal-a-cios" sung to Voulez-Vous by Abba would be great. |  |

Wondering if he’s got any Argentinian mates who’d come and help out from January, help to keep him here. |  |

Not necessarily, but it also needs to be a forward pass. A team sits in defensive mode with two banks of four in midfield and defence. A pass that gets in behind either of those banks is line breaking. Basically, it means getting in behind the opposition’s defensive line wherever that is on the pitch. |  |

Hey BB - as stated a few times, last season in the Bundesliga he was injured with an abductor issue picked up in the second game of the Leverkeusen campaign against Frankfurt. He then missed 15 league games - which is a lot. Then took another 3 as a sub to get back to fitness. Starting then dropping to the bench again. He didn't really fully return till 21st March against Wolfsburg, and then played 7 straight games to the end of the season. Don't think other clubs, or bigger clubs, wanted to take a gamble. We did and its worked. I don;t think you can play 7 straight at that level unless you're fit. |  |

They have more expensive good players. |  |

Maybe EP can put in a good word to his now former Argentinian team mate, a certain Mr Messi! I'm sure he'd enjoy the Suffolk air and the chance to drive a tractor, if only for a few months! I'd bet he'd get the goals to keep us up! All a little bit tongue in cheek of course :) I'd take Nico Paz in a heartbeat, but I think Como might have something to say about that, and as for any fee....... |  | |  |

Diop is the business. Crisp passer. |  | |  |

In terms of 'player trading' this is as good as it could get for us. Great recruitment. I would expect him to transfer for 60m+ in the summer if he stays fit, we stay up and he keeps up the performances for the rest of the season. The scary thing is he is just finding his feet and getting better every game, who knows how good he will be by end of season. To add, he looks like he is enjoying himself too, which is great! |  | |  |

The figures suggest it is easier to make such a pass from centre back or central midfield, and that it gets more difficult the narrower you are (full back) or the more forward you are. [Post edited 4 Nov 9:07]
