Diarra out till December

Wissa said weeks ago that 'he owed the club' and was clearly told he wasn't going.

Surprising adingra didn't go i agree. But if diarra was even fit for any if the tournament they'd take him. He captained them less than a year ago

Which is fair enough but I don’t see how it was “mental” people thought there was a chance he might not go like.

What?

Where did I say I didn’t want him playing or that I don’t understand why he and Senegal will be desperate for him to go.

You can’t understand why a supporter of a club whose biggest ever signing hasn’t played a first team minute for months, not fully proven his fitness is now off to an international tournament is a little frustrated. I’m genuinely surprised at that

I know exactly why he wants to go and hope he does well but doesn’t change the bit of frustration I have about it

Ok

I agree it is frustrating- very frustrating

But if we move into the world of signing proven internationals of Diarra’s quality this comes with the territory am afraid

Alternatively we could go back to signing the likes of Darron Gibson in midfield- less of an international regular maybe

sounds good, though you'd like to think they ease him in & he doesnt play every minute of every game. Do we get any compensation if he gets injured while he is out there & has another lay off? Are we still paying the wages of all the players we have going to AFCON or do we get anything back?

I don’t have the answers.

Sounds like a car crash waiting to happen ! 🤣 🤣 🤣
 
Gives him a chance to get match fitness I suppose, as much as I don’t agree with it. Hope he doesn’t get overused and come back with another injury.
 
Would assume Senegal would progress out the group easy, shame we couldn't have had a compromise where he stays with us and gets some minutes in the Brighton and Leeds games then joins them for the knockouts. But, provided he stays fit it will be like a new signing when he's back
