Heard he wasn't even a proper professional footballer , he blagged his way up the ladder
Greatest player to ever step foot in the field
"We weren't kidded, we weren't conned" cause you weren't Greame, that's why you played a Sunday league player in the Premiership.
To be fair, Ali Dia has played more Premier League minutes than 99.99% of us will ever achieve. Not all of those missing out could do worse…
His name is Aly, not Ali.
Ali Dia must be related to Nicolas Jackson. They are both usless
Football can either be the hardest thing to get into or an unbelievably easy gravy train
Are they any Southampton fans with a sense of humour that wear his name and number on these retro remake football shirts?
Souness thick a brush
Le Tissier straight on YouTube after this to do more intensive medical research.
Souness should just admit that occasionally as a manager you have to trust and rely on others without doing the homework yourself and this occasion it did not work
Put down the shovel, Graeme, before you end up in Australia ☺
Graeme "Not my fault!"
I think this is one of the best football scam jobs pf all time …Apart from the Harry Maguire story…
These 2 con artists are magnificent
.
So he deliberately played someone who had no experience despite the fact playing a goalkeeper as a striker would have been a better option? And then he gets rid of him afterwards instead of keeping him incase they needed atleast someone on the bench like they apparently did? Make it make sense lmao
Classic, souness can't even take the blame hes so embarrassed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:40 "fool"? And this, friends, is why he doesn't like Pogba. Since then, he's had nightmares.
Lmao souness trying to rewrite history but he’s fooling no one!
Ah no Graeme ‘He looked sharp in training’
I wish he scored 🤣🤣🤣
Would have been more interesting
You have to wonder where Pogba was in all of this
Surely a youth team player would have been better than him.
Why not play youth players?
Every time Matt Le Tissier tweets, one of his goals should be awarded to Ali Dia.
So they didn’t have any youth players?
Matt Le Tissier what a legend.
Graham Souness is full of rubbish. He’s had his pants pulled down and thought he was decent so decided to give him a chance. If Dia has scored we’d be talking about a whole other story. 😅
In the clip Graeme says there was 2 up front, Le Tissier went off and he had a bench full of Wingbacks and Centerbacks. Surely if he thought the boy was that bad he'd just throw an extra centerback on and go 5-4-1?
How the hell do you end up in a position where you literally have no other strikers at all in the entire infrastructure of the club and end up playing literally a guy off the streets? Souness is clearly embarrassed by that story.
Surprised Liverpool didn't buy him
I don't believe a word of what Souness said.
Does anyone have this full match? Need to see it
The story doesn't check out, if he was really that bad, he still wouldn't have been on the bench, they would have taken players from the reserve squad. Souness got conned.
Wonder if Graeme Souness blamed Pogba for all this 🤔
Souness talks crap. He was totally fooled. Didn’t do his job and fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Graeme Souness I’ll remember this every time you spatting nonsense on skysports
Matt Le Tissier clearly says on another video interview "I'm not sure how a man of Graham's experience fell for that." He knows the truth as we all do. Graham was conned, and he is trying to hide his embarrassment with a concocted story. The idea that he would bring Dia on instead of anyone else on the bench, if he knew how terrible he was, is ridiculous.
Ali Dia was still better than the fraud that was Phil Babb, worst Liverpool player ever.
This could have never happen today. Teams scouting networks are so complex and so well organized nowadays that they could quickly realise the guy is faking a football career. In that way, we can say that Ali Dia was lucky that we got that "opportunity" at the right era.
still done better than Alexis Sanchez at manu
is soeness in a fish tank?
Souness…. "It's all Matt's fault"
Harry Redknapp first got the call from ' george weah' and knew it was a windup,shame souness wasnt as clever 😂😂
Sleepers are talking…
What a stupid story!
