    Diarra moves on again

    nice to know that we've managed to turn a buck on the Diarra sell on though.
    Its madness at the same time to presume that he's actually suddenly worth 20m though. The guy's a tidy enough midfielder, but there wasn't a chance that he could dislodge Flamini, given the form he showed last season.
    Diarra wasn't only behind Mattieu, he was also below Gilberto in the pecking order...... which probably was his biggest problem.

      Flamini's allround play was probably better than Diarra and he was having the season of his life there was no way Diarra was going to bench him at that time...

      As a ball winner he was much better than Flamini certainly more tenacoius ..his main problem was that whenever he forays forward his end product was not very good...to be honest he is better than Denilson Song and Diaby as a holding player...
