Diame played in 12 out of 13 of West Ham's wins last season, including the goal that gave them the edge against Chelsea.
Sure, I'm sure he does excellently in a sam allardyce team and does what he expects from his midfield.

I'm with you on this. The best players don't have to tackle because their positioning is spot on.
I'm always suspicious of your carragher types who chase back ten yards and throw a last ditch tackle in.
Yes really, a great player intercepts the ball rather than slides in, this saves the risk of a booking and more chance of a goal.
Tony hibbert became an legend with some fans for doing that. His positioning is awful.

Let's look at it another way.
Diame. Age 26. Fee £3.5m. Wages £2.6m pa.
Barry. Age 32. Loan fee ? Wages £5.5m pa.
*wages sourced from google.
So, say the loan fee for Barry is £600k to make the maths simple they'd both cost £6.1m for the year but we'd own Diame and he'd have a sell on value.
Also noticing Aly Cissokho seems to join RS. He was my choice as a replacement for Baines. Hopefully we'll be able to keep Baines, which looks certain at the moment.
I think we will for sure keep Baines, Felli, to be honest I don't really care at this point the funds we could get from him are looking more and more appealing, he just isn't giving 100% anymore and doesn't really seem like he even wants to stay.
Manchester United manager David Moyes is increasingly confident of signing Marouane Fellaini, while the Everton midfielder is also set on a move to Old Trafford.

Obviously if the loan deal involves us paying barry's full wages, we shouldn't take it. That's a no brainer.
Bit harsh judging him for not giving 100% in pre season, though?
Judge him on he plays tomorrow.
