In the right team set-up, a top player!

[Felt]

Good to hear he's still in contention.

Yep, we get our midfield line-up correct we would be a real danger.

I would have a fit and in form Samba over any of our other CM's

So are you guys advocating that he walks straight into the starting XI at Villa?

If so who should he replace from the Sunderland win - Park or Mbia or Jenas?

no-one has said that. he has to prove himself first.

Just thought from all the praise that some might want him to be in the team so I was interested to see who he would replace.

Better player than M'bia Derry Mackie SWP I think after his performances last year every Rs fan was glad we signed him we just need to get the right set up to get him in

I was backing Park even when everyone else had put him down, he is just not the player he was at Man Utd, he is another Mackie and sure his done well last few games. I feel it's just not enough and I would replace Park with Diakité, it will show us all the impact Park has on this team after all. I could be completely wrong and Park is just the player we need in the system Harry is playing, remember it's a team game.

What I do like about Diakité is that he will start a run from nowhere, unexpectedly and get through, just need the killer pass to Remy to smash in.

to be fair if he does get back to the way he was last season, he can replace anyone.
