Diakite- will he play for us again?

[Shania]

Just let him deal with his personal issues in a private way, like we would all like to deal with it if we were in his situation, not by speculating and making rumours in the stands and on message boards. Give him time to recover from whatever it is, he'll be worth it in the end.

Agreed.

[Shania]

Love the fact that he's never going to play for us again but is then going to nip off to the africa cup in Jan.....

"Fact" What do you mean?

[rickyranger]

U

I have no idea what is wrong with him. never said i did know. But was told a few weeks ago that he had problems and this has since been found to be true.

So who did you get this info from them?

[rickyranger]

Yes I am more then happy to and would have done earlier except it was a very long day yesterday and I decided to have a lie in this morning hence the delay

As I posted in my first post on this thread I heard as did countless others who were in the concourse at Man City before the game started that the player has serious problems and has been given time off by the club to hopefully get himself back on track in life

This has been commented on other message boards as well and I am not quite sure why the matter is considered a taboo subject and should be hushed up

As it happens I sincerely hope that the rumour has been massively exaggerated and that he comes back to us and we get to enjoy watching his talent as soon as he feels it is the right time for him to return

If he is suffering from depression then I hope the club support him in every way possible as I am sure they will as I have seen what this illness can ultimately end in and is not something that should ever be taken lightly

So who exactly did you get this info from then a reliable source or just some random fan ?

[Shania]

To the op go back into your cave of you can't actually say anything all you are doing is stirring ******.

I think he meant to inform us about an important issue regarding the club.

[SANDERSON8]

Depresson is a serious mental illness that is hard to treat,what confuses me is the issue of when this started,did he become depressed after he joined us or was it there before hand?

You are so right and for people to mock it is quite frankly disgusting

[Shania]

I heard that Diakite is depressed because he spent a week reading this messageboard.

Hahaha That could very well be the matter.

[SANDERSON8]

Whats he gotta to be depressed about he is a multi million pound footballer, sorry don't but this ******** from hammersmithr who notably enjoys a scaremongering story following an away day.

If any truth I'd terminate his contract , take back his signing on fee and have Nancy investigated to see if they withheld any information when we bought him.

sometimes you really are a plonker rodney

[SANDERSON8]

A very good friend of mine,someone i grew up with,a friend for 35 years,he had everything,great personality,lots of friends,a fantastic wife,2 adorable girls,a great job,a big house,"what had he to be depressed about" as our good friend W12 ranger would ask,anyway he is no longer with us.My heart goes out to SD.

Exactly Rebel thankfully i am still here,i know i am going to get points but w12 your post is deplorable and quite frankly i would no ****
on you if you were on fire in the street

Two word, gary speed... depression is a very serious illnesses if you don't get help

[stainrodisalegend]

Am sorry but I find the latest posts by Hammersmith, Isleworth etc disingenuous. Though they don't actually say it, the clear implication of their earlier posts - and of some others floating around - is that Diakite is suffering something really serious such as severe syzophrenia (spelling?) - not necessarily that particular mental illness, but nevertheless one that is really, really serious. If it was something like depression you would not question whether he would play for us again because as most of us know depression comes and goes without much predictability. Churchill for instance would talk about his "black dog" that would leave him unable to do anything at all, then suddenly vanish. The suggestion, clearly, is that it this is a condition that doesn't lift and is virtually un-treatable. I'm not having a go at you for posting because as already said it is an internet gossip site, so no one should get too pompous. But If the suggestion is that he has more serious mental health problems then I think you should say it - or if, alternatively, you don't have any further information than we already knew I don't quite see what the point of the original post was.

[HammersmithR]

I simply said IF true, then we might not see him a Rangers shirt for a while. Who knows? I think we all agree we'd love to have him back playing the way he did last season. I am simply relaying what I was told, by someone who is credible and one I would trust. Will i divulge their name? No. You can either believe it or not. What's the massive deal? Whatever his personal issues are, of course like any Rangers fans wants it to be sorted as soon as possible.

Looking at it from a squad perspective. Hughes will have to name a 25 man squad this week. Can he include someone who might not be available for many of the games?

Depression is something that cannot be helped overnight. It has no time frame.

Robert Enke too.

[DeepcutHoop]

You didn't relay anything new though. You implied there was some new bit of information, but told us nothing about what was said.

The offish actually gave us more details than you did, days before.
