LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-2-3-liverpool-rafa-16227676 Mo Diame, who is now set to leave Tyneside on a free transfer this summer. The Senegalese cannot now meet the 25-start clause in his contract which would automatically trigger a new one-year deal, and Benitez all-but confirmed at his pre-match press conference that Diame is on course for pastures new at the end of the season. So Diame wanted a 2 year contract but if he'd started 25 games he'd have got a 1 year extension. Would Diame have to have accepted that? Did Rafa stop selecting Diame to start for football reasons or contract extension reasons? I presume Diame couldn't have got a 1 year extension and then still be sold?

No, I mean he gets the 1 year contract but NUFC sell him for a fee (so Diame could have still got a 2 year+ contract elsewhere). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Less risk just letting him leave I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Diame made it very clear he did not want the 1 year extension to be triggered. He will end up somewhere like Leeds and could do a decent job for them if they use him correctly. Still perplexed we used him as a no 10 for most of the Championship season really.

David Edgar Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yeah, that was always annoying. Rafa will have had his reasons and ultimately, we won the league. So vindicated I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Bye Mo Thoroughly likeable bloke and brought plenty to the table, his form in the second half of last season will hopefully ensure him some level of cult hero status here (along with his worldy against Brighton.)

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I really liked Diame from start to finish and didn't understand a lot of the jip he got. Would have liked him to stay on another year, but it's a good decision if the replacement is right. He'll easily find a Championship club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
