SENEGAL international Lamine Diatta has signed for Newcastle United until the end of the season.

 

The deal had looked to have collapsed after Diatta - who was out of contract - failed to agree terms during five hour talks yesterday.

 

But after a change in heart from the former Lyon defender will play for a longer contract between now and the end of the season.

 

The African is expected to give Kevin Keegan more defensive options when he is fully match fit but that may not be for a couple of weeks.

Sky Sports News now reporting he's joined on loan...

 

The only reason we could sign him is because he's a free agent so who is on loan from?  ???

 

 

he bought his registrationback from besitkas so he's on loan from himself.

Is he actually good enough to start?

 

Now that he's signed, of course he's good enough.  If he hadn't though, he'd be shit.

Good news really. He's obviously impressed enough to be given a go as an option. If he struggles, he leaves.

 

He's obviously impressed enough - not exactly hard to do that in our current squad.  None the less, another face to shake things up a bit I guess.

Whilst I think we need to play Faye as the holding midfielder, there is something attractive about having the option to play Faye and Diatta at centre-half with Beye at right back. That would give us 75% of the Senegal back 4 playing together week in/week out. NICE!!!

super whoosh, heh.

 

He's another body in the squad which is good as theres bound to be some dodgy injuries happening soon to our defenders. Its only til the end of the season too, now he just needs a week or 2 to build his fitness up. Having played before with faye, beye and cacapa too can only be a good thing.
