Timothee Dieng

[Blues4LifeDan]

A release clause only forces a club to accept an offer, the player can still refuse to leave if he wants to. He's only started 1 of the last 6 matches at Exeter so he may have been tempted by the promise of being a starter.

I don't think that would be the reason he'd go. He was their player of the season last season and has played well this season. I don't know why he hasn't played as much games in the last 6 but could be coming back from injury.

He's definitely gone to Gillingham for money surely.

Several clubs at the bottom of league two (Including us!) are signing very decent players, it is going to be a right scrap to escape the dreaded drop. I think Exeter have their problems at present, several of their better players are unsettled it seems, what with Dieng going to Gillingham and us signing Matt Jay this week.

Just maybe with the Gills signing Timothee, they will cool their reported interest in Jack Bridge.

They signed Tom Nicholls and are supposed to be taking two strikers (Jaiyesimi and Stockley) from Charlton on loan, they certainly mean business!

Given their league position currently they have to do something.

Nearly 300 EFL games, 14 goals last season but of course we couldn't wait to get rid of him because he was lazy, chicken and once ducked out of a header apparently. Good player.... looks like Gillingham will spend their way out of trouble.

Jay, Hall, Kelleher , Wood and Reid , brought in for you and 3 on undisclosed fees, some activity and splashing of the cash !

I don't remember Tim being a winger or wing back?

Averages one goal in every 4 games from Midfield for Exeter, although just one game played in last 6 . Alleged Gills paid 6 figure sum, and utilised release clause for between 100,000k and £150,000 . / Retains property here?

I can't see anything about an injury on their forum and a few say he wasn't a starter anymore. Exeter got a new manager on the 24th October (Gary Cardwell) and whilst he started the first 4 matches under Cardwell he's only started 1 match since then, I think the new manager just didn't like him as much as the previous one.

More coming apparently, no doubt some going too!

Very successful under now departed Exeter manager-Taylor—new manager—Caldwell—obviously not a fan !

Strange transfer leaves a mid table side in league 1 to go to a club bottom of league 2 likely to be playing National league must be financial

And your memory isn't failing you. My post was about the number of players they reportedly were signing.

Maybe not, but there is only a finite number of squad places available, so it might mean they're happy to live with what they have in other positions.

With the players they are signing it's likely that they will turn their league form around with half season still to go. Amazing what new ownership can do.

Tim certainly isn't a player I would be looking to sign if I was in charge of a team in a relegation dog fight. Hope he proves me wrong.

I agree it does seem a bit of a gamble and some on their Exeter forum fans thinks he can no longer manage 90 mins. However he was a bit of a hit and miss with us, but had a very impressive last season with them

Gillingham have apparently the worst goal scoring record at this stage of the season in football league history, So I guess they think his heading ability especially near goal and scoring every 4 games from midfield ,would add something to there ability to find the net,, with no doubt the new owner , who seems a great breath of fresh air, forking out for more upgrades to aid him

But if the Gills get to far behind as we know its hard to come back from

He certainly never managed 90 minutes for us so I’m not surprised.

Didn’t take long for Caldwell to suss him out.
