Signed from: Besiktas Transfer fee: Free transfer League Appearances: 2 League Goals: 0 After a recommendation from Habib Beye, Newcastle snapped up the former Senegal captain after he bought himself out of his Beskitas contract in March 2008. Widely regarded as the forgotten man, the centre-back only played twice before being released at the end of his first season. After a failed spell in Scotland with Hamilton, he spent time in Qatar and Tunisia before joining fellow countrymen El Hadji Diouf and Beye at Doncaster in 2011. He retired from football shortly after and didn't actually make an appearance under Rovers' boss, Dean Saunders.
