I'd back Diouf to score as many as Afobe given the same number of games. Have you been on the pop after the England match?

Diouf for me is an honest hardworking player , but as for scoring goals ...Christ ...my mum could have finished some of the chances he’s missed and she’s 80..

Diouf is a loyal hard working goal scorer. Yea he misses his fair share, but he's also tracking back, covering defenders and often out of position and still scores or wins the ball back. He's hardly a reason to be blamed for last season, infact it'd be a joke to suggest as he's one of the few who ran his socks off. Baffling vitriol being thrown at him on here being one of our top prem scorers and also willing to be pegged into RB by a daft Welsh manager for the shittiest Fwd our club has ever spent money on. Berahino can't lace Diouf boots or legacy at this club. Nice one Big Tex I can tell you on the Jack Daniels already I'd be worried if you think the opposite, you might be on that stuff Hughes was drinking...

Diouf’s inability to convert the easiest of chances has been a major reason for our relegation We would have stayed up if we had a proper striker instead of this donkey Yet a good number of masochists on this board are clamouring for him to stay He's not even in the top ten people responsible for our relegation. To suggest he is a major reason is just plain daft. He missed a number of sitters in at least 4 or 5 games in the final run-in We’re not talking of half chsnces but of enormoud goal mouth opportunities. Chances which any half-decent striker would have scored In one particular game he was put in on goal with a defence-splitting through pass but his first touch on the ball took him near the fuc””” corner flag !!! Do you really want to see more of this garbage ??!!!

We need 70+ goals to get out of the Championship. There's easily 10+ goals in him that we would need to replace in the Championship, when those players are in the building we can decide. Have you got a video of 2016/17/18 goals What, those years where his mother died in tragic circumstances, his sister almost died in the same incident. Those years where he barely played as a striker, playing on the wing/right back/bench. All players were the reason for relegation, as were all management, to say Diouf was one of the main reasons is horseshit.

Its hard to knock the lad, he works his bollox off all game, puts himself about, gets in all the right positions and then when the ball comes to him he turns into Frank Spencer. If hes happy to stay as a squad player that would be great but we need someone upfront with that killer instinct this season, and hes not it.

He was better as a right back than a striker. Personally I’d rather see Diouf off the wage bill and replaced with Gayle or the lad from Derby...

Do you really want to see more of this garbage ??!!! Perhaps you should read my original posts. At the moment we have no one other than Afobe through the door. He shouldn't be even mentioned as going anywhere unless we have another proven back up and two wingers. There is a reason we are linked with Gray, Gayle and the like. They can't repeat their goalscoring in the PL. Dioufs record is better than theirs at the highest level and there is no reason to assume he can't chip in with 10+ much needed goals when we need to score 70+ to get promoted over 48+ games. At this moment Diouf should be going nowhere until the other 4 forwards are in the building. I stand by my point he wasn't a "major reason" we got relegated as suggested.

Do you really want to see more of this garbage ??!!! Steino is the best striker I have seen play for us yet I reckon I saw him miss more sitters than any other Stoke striker in my life, one game against Leyton Orient he literally couldn't hit a barn door then in the last 5 minutes bang, bang and we won. He scored so many because he was so good and because he got so many chances. All strikers miss chances for much of last season our strikers were lucky to get 2 good chances in the same calendar month nevermind game. Diouf will be fine in the championship although I expect Rowett may not want him.

It'll be interesting to see them vs Poland. ⚽

Hard work doesn’t win you games? Mo Farah could run his bollocks off for 90 minutes no problem, doesn’t make him a good footballer. Diouf misses guilt edged, on a plate opportunities and he can’t be forgiven for that. If Choupo missed the same chances the pitch forks would be out, but it’s ok Mame, you miss as many as you like cos’ you try hard.
He could fall out of a boat and still miss the water. On top of that he’s technically awful, the first touch of a baby elephant and the footballing ability of a peanut. But it’s okay Mame, you work hard.

If Diouf is to make a contribution in terms of goals then Rowett has a major confidence rebuilding job on his hands - he was so obviously bereft of self esteem for the past two years.

So Adam’s penalty miss and failure to score from the follow up definitely contributed to our relegation but Diouf’s inability to put the ball in the net against Totenham, West Ham and Burnley (never mind his total incompetence at pasising the ball to one of 3 unmarked players against Spurs) had nothing to do with us getting relegated? He is a nice guy who is paid £50k a week to fail spectacularly at what he is there to do. If we create 8 chances a game for MBD then you’re right, he’ll get 15 goals a season. If he only gets 3 chances a game he’d struggle to net 5 all season.

He's got all the work ethic, a fair bit of strength and pace, and can head the ball pretty well.
He can't keep the ball between his feet for love nor money.
Epitomises why the Paul Lambert half of the season failed so badly.

I like Diouf not just because he gave 100% , he never went missing, always wanted the ball and would play in any position asked of him. It's the managers fault for playing him as an out and out striker as it's obvious he's never going to be a prolific (or even regular) goal scorer, but his pace and attitude could be useful wide as a backup. Just wish our big money players had his attitude.

It also summed up our season in a nut shell. I wasn’t laughing at the time believe me but looking back you can’t help but laugh at Dioufs ineptitude.

I agree we should be looking to replace but it must be remembered that his poor run of form in a poorly performing side had by the end completely shot his confidence. He will always need a high chances to goals ratio but with a fresh start under a new manager he could be a useful squad member next season.
