Bozza tweet - free agent Alou Diarra

[BensGrandad]

I do not have to pay his wages so this doesnt concern me. I am only interested in what he can bring to the team.

yes you do

 

[BensGrandad]

yes you do

Indirectly I do but whatever they pay him short term will not affect how much I pay so not really my concern as it is TBs.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Perhaps we should sign Alou's sister Vera for the women's team?

I'll get my coat.

Vera Diarra? I don't get it.

 

[BensGrandad]

Alou Vera ring a bell or rather smell a bit.

 

[Biscuit]

Alou Diarra?

Liverpool connection, recently at West Ham.

Top work.

 

[Kevlar]

ima not trying to be negative but defensive midfield
seems to be one area where we have some quality
Ince or hola seem fine to me

 

[BensGrandad]

On current form neither Ince nor Holla are good enough as DM. I would hope to play a better DM and push Holla further forward unless Agustein can come good. Oh to have Stephens back.

Thats a blow but if wanting to secure a contract why not make sure he vcould get back, there must be loads of flights from France to England or even channel tunnel.

 

[The_Viper]

Why are we wasting our time with him if he cba to play because of a delayed flight? Unless he's not landing until after kick off it's a poor excuse.

 

[Rookie]

So you are on trial trying to earn a deal after being out for however long, but fail to get back for a game that could earn you that deal. Sounds like goer

 

[BensGrandad]

Dont know where in France he went but could have got the train straight to Ebbsfleet from Paris. Joe Cole did it regular when he played for Lille.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Maybe it's a cover story, and he was only with us due to Sami, and Hyypia is currently getting the boot?

*Wishful thinking*

 

[WhingForPresident]

Seems like he has a pretty crap attitude:

Or was told he probably wouldnt be getting an offer of a deal so thought at 33 years old why should I bother.

Sounds like bullshit, surely someone at the club would go nah if you can't be arsed don't bother, unless of course someone like maybe Sami has said he is worth the wait (jobs for the boys).....

In which case, I don't want him near any kind of transfer fund if one is available in January.....

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Surely a perfect match for our crap manager then.

 

[Rugrat]

Or the prospect of playing in our reserves in front of 8 men and a dog in Ebsfleet knowing he's going to have to play in at least 2/3 more before getting near the first team squad finally brought him to his senses?
