I can only think of one trick or flick that Diamanti has done. I don't get where this image of him as a flair player has come from.fmgod wrote:He has tricks and flick but he's all style no substance, he's not good enough for this league theres a reason he came from Serie B and we were the only ones interested.

Re: Alessandro Diamanti
He is a flair player, trys the unexpected, shoots from a hundred yards, does decent free kicks looks for the most ridiculous pass that sometimes comes off.Arch Dandy wrote: I can only think of one trick or flick that Diamanti has done.

Re: Alessandro Diamanti
I'm judging it from where he shoots to where the ball would land if the stand wasn't there.rare as rockinghorse shat wrote:fmgod
I've never seen him shoot from one hundred yards before.

:lol:Yea Why Not wrote:warp wrote
diamanti is not a forward.
he's an attacking midfielder
Says who? I have been told he was a striker for the past year :lol:
I saw him play for livorno where he played behind two strikers and he was one of the few decent players they had when they got relegated.
he was then linked with sampdoria, lazio, genoa and napoli, but livorno's chairman wanted to keep his best players to get the promotion the following year (and succeeded).
After promotion, he was linked with inter (but then they got sneijder at real madrid's sale) and parma.

No but you said 'from 100yds'. So 'from' the target. The target being the goal.fmgod wrote:I'm judging it from where he shoots to where the ball would land if the stand wasn't there.
So he hasn't shot from 100yds from the goal before, has he?
Why would you say such a thing?

We once had a conversation on ITBS about whether of not a Mark Noble goal (vs Brighton in the cup I think) was "great technique" even though it was actually going wide, and was deflected in.
Your mate is right of course, it is off target.

Diamanti is not a w....Oh I can't be bothered...
As for saying his nose is out of joint since Zola was binned...On what evidence? There will be no foundation to that argument, so you better think of another one...pronto!

Re: Alessandro Diamanti
all the people picking diamanti as the scapegoat and cause of our lack of shape and work ethic now need to look elsewhere, maybe towards the likes of Upson, Cole, Noble, Tomkins, all english, all from the south and quite frankly all **** at what they do. Cole cant hold the ball up and looks disinterested, upson is shocking positional-wise and can not organize the defence, tomkins is error prone and tuens slower than dele adebola on valium and noble disappears from games and runs for 90 mins like he is treading water. Add to those, Faubert, Ilunga and Kovac who are also inconsistent and you can see why we have been struggling for a long time. At least when diamanti is on things do happen, play him in the hole, dont make him do any defensive work and then we might be a threat going forward,

Re: Alessandro Diamanti
Diamanti did not win runner up Hammer of the year last season for nothing.
Gifted player, just needs to find his place in the team. I think playing him in the hole would work. Has a great left foot on him, just look at some of his goals last season (Birmingham and Bolton at home spring to mind)
Really dont know why some on here are so quick to slag him off.
