You’ve obviously watched him a lot but, just out of interest, would you rate him as better than Sandro?

If this is your 1st season watching Diamé you’d think he wasn’t a defensive midfielder. However watching him for Rayo, Wigan and Senegal, he certainly has been. I do agree that forcing him to hold, could waste his ability to burst past players with power and skill. But I do think if he moved to a big club, you’d see his defensive attributes a lot more. Statistically the best tackler in the PL. I personally think he’s the best of his kind in the world. Also, the writer of this very good article asked if he’s better than a fully fit Diaby? In my opinion – Yes, in virtually every department.

Anybody that has seen him play will realise this is not the case and he is in fact a box-to-box player, whose greatest talent is making aggressive runs at the opposition.

He does win a lot of tackles, but that does not make him a defensive midifielder, just one that wins tackles. If any team want to buy him for his defensive discipline I think they will be sadly disappointed, however I suspect potential suitors will actually spend time watching him play, unlike those who write about him.
