think ppl have been a bit harsh on diouf, thought he played well when he first came up even though he was asked to play a lone striker in some games which is clearly not his position. he seemed to fall out of favour after the scum cup game at the girodome- i remember walter smith saying he was disappointed with one of 2 players actions during the game so maybe thats the reason for him being used sparingly from then on. he definitely played some good game at the start and i would rather see him back than beattie who i think is just past it completely unfortunately.
no suprise his form has been getting slightly worse over time- the midfield has been dismantled slowly season by season and hes gone from playing along side fergie mendes and thomson to along side edu (although mo did wee tonight i must say). thought davis was superb.
4 or 5 new players?! were losing weiss , bartley, foster, diouf, bougherra , maybe papac, and most likely weir. i would think we need at least 5 permanent signings as well as a couple of loans. lets hope thats what he meant.
