Certainly seems to have divided opinion already. Is it just me who is not that bothered? I support the team, the club. Players will come and go, always have, always will. If RSC goes, we'll survive, if Diouf comes ditto. Support the sum of the parts, not the parts themselves. Let's get behind the team...

Spencey7: Grow up and realize where the club is these days

I was going to reply to this properly, but what's the point when gumboots does it perfectly:

Why is it that when anyone voices a different opinion someone always has to say they are not a real fan. Being a real fan is wanting the best for the club. You may think this player is it. Others don't. There is no right and wrong here. It's not about being a real fan or not. It's about your perception of a player. i don't think this guy is actually good for our club. He may slightly improve our first team options but i suspect he'll bring more bad stuff than good to the club as a whole. That doesn't make me less of a fan than anyone else. It just means that my opinion on his merits and disadvantages is different from yours.

you have just said it there he might improve our first team options, whats wrong with that? Diouf did not cause any unrest within the Bolton squad while he was there under Sam, so what makes you think he will cause unrest at Ewood now.

Exactement ! If Diouf does his job and help Rovers survive, I won't complain.

Have I missed something, I even trawled through all the posts from today, have we actually signed Diouf or as it even been reported that we've put in a bid for him? Where's the link to any of these stories?

Until this actually breaks, I think that people need to chill a bit!

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I just said that I feel that some of the things he might bring outside of his playing might not be to the advantage of the club. It's an opinion - that's all.

Who is of more use Derbyshire or Diouf?

A right sided player who we've desperately needed for half a year or a reserve striker who will always be behind Roque/Benni/Roberts.

And i dont think anyone would say that someone isnt a 'real' fan for having a different opinion, its just that when that opinion revolves around hating a particular player so much that they'd stop turning up to support the team on match days i think it says alot about that person.

Which is more important - Diouf as a person or the success of Blackburn Rovers? i know which i care more about.

Diouf will give us what we need, a right winger who can not only deliver a half decent cross but also attack full back.........something Brett doesn't seem to be able to do.

Diouf hasn't done that effectively in years. He came to the Premiership as a striker, hardly ever scored so - like so many others (Kalou, Kuyt, Derbyshire) was "tried on the right" as a result.

He's not just a mindless, despicable thug, in my opinion he's not that great a player.

This drive against dissent is like something from Nazi Germany.

And who's said they are not going to attend games in the last 2 or 3 pages? Who's said they are going to do anything against him. Temptation is one thing. Acting on it is another.

We have been down this route once before - Bellamy is every bit as unpleasent as Diouff but he did well enough for us, and the fans loved him. Could be the same with the Senegalese.

I am willing to give Diouf the benefit of the doubt and hope that he can show he has grown into a model professional. I like second chances.

I wonder how we will line up as I am unsure whether Diouf really can play right side in a 442? I can see us playing three up front.

I believe Nicko did say "in total" so that may include add-ons and/or wages for the length of the deal?

You're right, which makes more sense - and of course I can see that Sunderland at least want back what they paid to Bolton. I'm really looking forward to some more details about the fee when/if the transfer is confirmed...

I might be wrong - I'd have to check with a Bolton fan - but didn't he go a bit rubbish after a certain manager left them?

Every bolton fan i know says Diouf was one of their best players under Sam, so if anybody can get the best out of him Sam can.

Diouf may of some troubles of the pitch like his spitting and diving, but he can get back to how he was playing under Sam then that will be a massive boost for Rovers in helping them stay in the Premership
