I've seen Chicksen quite a few times and he's s much better player than Fox . Exciting going forward and a tough tackler. I would be surprised if he came to us as big things were expected of him.
So good he's a free agent and no one has taken him in before us....???!!!
Diarra didn't have a club all season until we signed him in February/March.
Don't get me wrong, I think Diarra is a great player but I'd estimate he's only been available 60% of the time he's been with us due to injury. This is more than likely the reason other clubs at this level won't touch him. I'm reliably informed he's also very well paid which although fair for someone with his CV, I'd be inclined to think we could achieve better value for money elsewhere.
I don't think we could. Diarra is vastly experienced and a former national team captain. He can do stuff that players at L1 level can't even dream of and his ability to organise and control a game is incredible. Yes, he gets injured a lot at his age but he'll absolutely dominate the midfield at this level when he does play. If we had more young midfielders they would really benefit from his experience

A year ago I suggested that Ba would really benefit from a playing for a year with Diarra, his fellow countryman and midfielder

Maybe that's because he does a great job getting stuck in when he plays. So therefore picks up some injuries. Name some other WC winners that are beating down the front door at SE7?
Sounds quite a lot like a Curbs signing to me. Unfulfilled potential and player with a point to prove. Not wanting to open the Fox debate but I would think that Morgan could be in need of some serious competition. Could just be what both players need to push on.
I've never really heard of him but from what I've gleaned by reading this thread it sounds to me like some decent business and perhaps the 400k will help get the "tricky" signings done.
Chicksen's poor first-team appearance record over the last three seasons (all clubs) and subsequent release by Brighton suggests he has gone backwards since leaving MKD in 2013.
On that basis he appears to be a cheap option for the bench, not necessarily a bad thing but again, for those misguided people who think we are moving forward as a club, it looks like a step down to save money.

I disagree . I know your unlikely to give the club any credit at the moment , for good reason ,but believe me , Chicksen will be a very good singing. He's one of those players that will run through a brick wall for you and has the skill to go with it. He's one of those players who could be a real fans favourite . To say this signing is a step down is just plain wrong.

That prediction worked out well!

It's the one from "abroad" that might be more tricky.

Welcome Adam.
I wish we could have just 1 day where a thread isn't full of shit puns... It would be quite a novelty

Too many bored posters hoping for confirmation of a player nobody else wants.
;o)
This transfer window really needs to close!!!!!!
Could do without all the set pieces especially if they're crosses from the wings

I'm not his dad by the way !
Nothing wrong with players like him signing to help improve the squad.
Hopefully we are able to get another 3/4 players after Chicksen signing.
Larnell Cole would also be a cheap addition to bulk out the squad
It's the main midfield addition(s) that are key for the next 2 days
