Diame is quality, and the type of player our midfield needs. Him and Rodallega great freebies to snap up.

If we want rid of Baldock he'll go, there will be clubs eager to take him, especially on loan. I hope its a loan, teams couldnt handle his movement last year, and that is the hardest thing to teach, so his youth should really work in his and our favour for the future.

I'd rather take Zaha over Rhodes. Feel he has the potential to be really really good and really shone in the Championship, whereas Rhodes is unproven above League 1, despite being a great goalscorer at that level.

Personally always quite liked Trap's info tbh, when he wasn't shrouding it in 3-2-1-style cryptic clues.

Rodallega hasn't done much for a while TBH.

I just don't see what Allardyce would do with Rhodes. Surely we wouldn't be spending £5-7m on an impact sub?!

I keep banging on about this but Diame would be my number 1 target were I in Sam's position. Exactly what we need to round out our midfield, would be a great foil for Noble. Rodallega I'm not so keen on.

My thing with Rodallega is that hes free so the risk is low. His goalscoring is a real worry, but he looks to have a lot going for him in his game, strong fast and mobile, good brain and a little bit tricky. If you can get him into a goalscoring rhythm then hes a revelation, and for no money (other than wages etc etc) it could be a gamble worth taking. Depending on who we have and Sam's confidence in them, I think the intent to get more than one striker (or so it seems) in suggests we may play some games with two up.

Diame is quality, can see the other clubs going in for him being around our level in stature, and prem regulars, hopefully we may uncover a young(ish) defensive midfielder with an engine. He's not De Jong like in his discipline, hes not Toure like in his all round drive from midfield, but hes got some of both. If he can be told to sit in deep he could be the legs and anchor we've missed.

If we can get him it would be a brilliant signing.

For someone who claims to be 'ITK', where have you been for the last 15 years of KUMB?
