Infinitely Content Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 He's indispensable to us at present. As good as Ki & Shelvey are, Diame is our first choice centre midfielder and probably one of the first names on the team sheet every week. I'm sure in our imaginations we would all like to ideally see Ki & Shelvey together, but imo it's one or the other, paired with Diame. Critical player.

SteV Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 That does not surprise me one bit. Coming away from the game last night I said to my mate I would arguably have given him MotM as I thought the amount of times he broke up play by getting a foot in was phenomenal.

ToonArmy1892 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 He seemed to have Kante's engine last night, everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Only thing he did wrong was standing still right next to the ball thinking a foul had been committed yet the referee hadn't blown his whistle and was waving play on. Was screaming at the TV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 It was to the point the Burnley fans would get anxious whenever he started closing one of their players down. Bossed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 That doesn't surprise me. Second half of last season he was inch perfect 99% of the time. He looked horrendous going into the tackles, like, and I felt sure everyone would result in a foul. But he walks away with it stuck to his toe. Suggests to me that a. he's a fucking good tackler, and b. he attempts tackles that most wouldn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Probably our most influential player in terms of what he gives to the team and how he compliments others. Right now him and KI seem a better fit than him or Shelvey. Neither would be as effective without him alongside them mind. He set the tone against Burnley from the off and his level of perfmance in terms of winning the ball, pressing and disrupting their play didn’t drop once.

Dokko Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hopefully we’re in a position not to offer him a new contact come the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 In a hypothetical/unlikely better position, I'd still keep him to bring on at the end of matches. He has bad performances but his good ones are worth it and he still has the most interceptions in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Mohamed Diame is closing in on a new deal at Newcastle United. The midfielder – who made his comeback from injury in Monday night’s 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers – is in the final year of his contract at St James’s Park. However, the Gazette understands that Diame, signed from Hull City in the summer of 2016 for £4.5million, will trigger a one-year extension to his deal if he plays 25 games for the club this season. The 31-year-old (he's 32 in June) has made 22 Premier League appearances – 21 starts and one substitute’s appearance – so far this season. Diame, an ever-present in the first half of the campaign, would have already triggered the extension had he not fractured a metatarsal in training early last month.

Tribesman Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I really don't get the hate for Diame to be honest. He has been great for us since we got promoted. That said I would like to upgrade on him in the summer and have him for squad depth next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Wont be the worst thing imo, if his contract expired we wouldnt get anyone else in - longstaff would be his replacement. May as well keep him for another year as cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaits incoming comments that every pass he makes is like a tackle and skews his stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
