Surely one of Pidge or Jameson makes way for him... Hes not here to play. Hes here to coach. By the wording of it sounds likes hes only going to play when desperate.

Clubs are permitted to 'staff up' so they have 23 players of professional standing, which is termed as players to have made at least one appearance for any club in any first-team competition. If they have less than 23 players they are allowed, within a transfer window, to sign free agents on a maximum of one-year deals or bring in players on loan for up to half a season.

Interested to see if Diarra can be effective in whatever formation KC is now persevering with. The dearth of options can explain why KC might be forced to go this way. Having seen Diarra a number of times, he was brave and very physical, but too easily wound up. Maybe KC sees a diamond in the rough. For Badan, I appreciated his pace and movement but it rarely developed into a goal scoring opportunity. I had CBJ streets ahead of Badan for quality and threat, but many said CBJ was also bobbins .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think it was more the speed of the game that caught him out. Hopefully he can quickly get used to it and we might have a decent player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcforever Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Thought Diarra in centre mid had a decent half to be fair, won all his headers and was strong in the tackle. Best ive seen him play in an Oldham shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe these players are cheap enough to be worth a contract and with likely additional accommodation costs we'd be better off with domestic players.

Wasn't over-impressed with him in previous matches, would sooner have Saul Milovanovic ( who hasn't played in the last couple ) but if Diarra plays like he did first half yesterday (and keeps his nose clean!) maybe we don't need either.
