Bah, remember being shouted on by Piskie and the like that a LB was a priority before the season started. Season could have seriously been different without all the shambolic goals and actions we allow through the left regularly.
So who has triggered the Diame clause? Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs or QPR? He is very cheap so would love him at Chelsea
And I say you're talking bollocks If you'd read my posts you would know that when Vermaelen played at LB I called for us to sign some cover for Gibbs
Spanish football expert Andy West: "We've not seen David Villa's name mentioned for a while...let's rectify that. The impending loan deal between Ajax and Barcelona for the Catalan club's winger Isaac Cuenca - revealed below by Andy Brassell (20.03) - is another good reason to believe that Villa is NOT moving to the Premier League tonight. "Cuenca, who has recently returned from a lengthy absence through injury, performs the same left wing role for Barca as Villa, and it's difficult to foresee the Nou Camp club allowing Cuenca to leave if they thought there was any chance of Villa heading to England." I think he is right. So forget Villa (for now). It would be great to sign Villa but hopefully there is a last minute deal for a DM - that is something we really need!
John Cross of the Mirror is saying he's pretty certain that we're not in for Diame. A report on 5 Live has just said that Fulham will definately be making another signing
@:gent - i was one of the people sayign we didn't need to strengthen at LB. Santos had been very good for us last season until his injury and Gibbs had stepped up his game massively. Between the two i thought the competition would result in one or both stepping up there game and makign the LB spot there own. Gibbs has stepped up and done well but Santos looks unfit and uninterested. It's a shame as i think he has a lot of talent, but he is letting it go to waste and simply not playing well enough. I'm pleased we are bringing in a LB. Let's hope there is still more to come! If not i still think we have what it takes to get top 4, but an addition or two would be very helpful in a tight fight for CL football.
Still think he could do a job for us. What the **** is going on with Odemwingie?? Just rocking up at QPR!!
Diame transfer is on sky. an offer to trigger the release clause. the buying club has not been named. Transfer deadline is exciting By the way Monreal is brilliant and rated as one of the best in La Liga.
