Wishlist Lass Diarra

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Well, I mentioned Lass before, your response was like ''he is not good enough''. But as I watch Real almost every match, everytime he plays, he does it GREAT. Problem is that Mou gives advantage to Xabi and Khedira, because he likes them more. And then Granero. Lass falls short, but when he plays, he is one of best players on pitch.

He has great long passes, through passes, short passes and tackles. Not to mention his nice dribbling abilities, never saw such great DM dribbler, since Makelele.

Tell me, why this is not good enough for us, he would cost like 15mio?

Because we haven't got a prayer of signing him.

[kiaretta985 131]

is he worth 6.5 M per year?

Obi Mikel is better then Lass. Lassana shows great drive and tackling ability but Mikel is much better in terms of positioning.

I like Lass alot, very good DM.There are two players who i would replace Mikel with and they are Tiote and Diarra.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Have you ever seen Tiote? Check him out and then talk...

[RamiCFC9 258]

Ofcourse i do.I rate him very high, few players can boss midfield like him in the PL

[Madmax 9,219]

Another DM, just what we need to look for.

[Jase 43,479]

As Jaimin has pointed out, getting a DM should be the least of our priorities now. We already have Mikel AND Romeu FFS!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Well for the price we might get him for (about 15mio) would be bargain. Tiote, Mvila,...would cost 25mio and they dont dribble or pass those long balls even close to Lass. But yes they are better positioned, but what we need is creative DM, what Lass is. Mikel can do that positioning

along creative Lass. And did I mention he is cheap and could turn in one of best DM in PL?

I call it a wise, low money buy. But no real links with him sadly...

Diarra, a creative DM?!

Diarra, a creative DM?!

In terms of standard DM (his prefered position), he is quite creative. But not comparable to Modric or Moutinho who are more attacking minded, but still play on DM (yet they are more CM).

[manpe 10,861]

We already had him, then sold him. Buying him back for twice or tripple that money would be incredibly shit business. If he had stayed then fine, but he didn't, now I don't want him back.

[Spike 12,049]

Let's buy him and convert him to a RB. It worked fucking wonders last time.

Still no. He doesn't have the ability to switch play from one side to the other. He doesn't have the eye to look for those decisive/incisive passes. He is nothing more than a combative midfielder IMO. If he is as good as you said, then how come Mourinho is not utilizing him more at Madrid rather than flogging Alonso to death??

Alonso plays every game because he confuses Mourinho with his gaze. You would play him every game too.

Or maybe it is because he one of the best Midfielders in the world.

Of course Alonso is one of the best midfielders. Was just making a comparison because BlueLyon seems to rate Diarra so much!

Diarra was a failure not just at Chelsea but at Arsenal also. At Real he is the fourth choice CM behind Alonso, Khedira and Granero. Yes, you heard it right even Granero has more appearances than Lass.
