Barton off to L'OM

[W12_Ranger]

People have short memories on here and from reading some of the posts it sounds like they've got Diakite mixed up with M'Bia. Diakite was one of our stand out players in the season we stayed up. He would have played week in week out last year if he hadn't gone loco.

Genuine box-to-box midfielder who CAN tackle, pick a pass and beat a man. We was brilliant at turning defence into attack with either a burst of pace or a good forward ball, something extremely valuable in a holding player these days.

Not entirely sure what the arguments over, but at this current moment in time and in this league, Barton is far more valuable than a player like Diakite who clearly has other things going on. To write him off as utter rubbish is wrong though.

Think he played well in 2 matches ..... some people really know how to over egg the bacon on here

I think Barton could now be well on his way with the signing of Carroll etc...
