Diakite and Faurlin will make us nice and tidy with plenty of bite. Bring him back early for pre-season and teach him how to tackle.
Diakite deal already in place provided we stay up for £3.5 million. Biddy bargain! "Nancy president Jacques Rousselot says the club have agreed a deal with QPR for midfielder Samba Diakite. Rousselot told L’Equipe: “It will be a loan with an option to buy if QPR are still in the Premier League at the end of the season.” http://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/nancy-say-deal-is-agreed-with-qpr/ http://www.footybunker.com/qpr-complete-ligue-1-signing/15898
Even from the the first game he played for us when he got sent off, you could see what a good player he was. Strong, fast, can tackle(kinda!), can pass, can run with the ball, can score. He just seems to effortlessly glide past players when hes got the ball and doesn't get the ''Taarabt'' rush of blood and try to score a wonder goal himself after hes beaten 2/3 men, he still makes the right pass. My MoTM too.
Ciarrai, I wrote on this forum in March that once Diakite got used to the pace of Premier football he would prove to be a very fine player.
Diakite, faulin and Barton (yes i know!) would / could be a great midfield next season...esp in the prem where we get abit more time on the ball...
I particularly liked the way Diakite shadowed players after his booking rather than trying to tackle. Very mature although I'm not sure he'd do the same if we weren't 3 up.
