Grovelling apology to Duxbury, what was I thinking of? This blog announced that Diamanti was in the bag on Tuesday and Livorno were out spending the cash on Wednesday, but we haven't completed the signing in time for the guy to make the trip to Blackburn! How long did this deal take in gestation? An elephant gives birth quicker!
So, we are now going to be 3 league games and one cup war into the season before the signing of that much needed striker is going to be completed. We are still short up front even with our new diamond geezer on board and we still don't have a left back to speak of whilst Ilunga is injured. If 3 points are sacrificed in a 1-0 defeat tomorrow, the delay in signing Diamanti will look very expensive indeed!

Still moaning FFS.
We're signing a player from a foreign league not popping down the local supermarket and grabbin' a tin of beans off the shelf.
Anyway, good things are worth waiting for, as me dear old mum used to say.
The other little snag is that Diamanti is not a forward!
On the West Ham website Zola describes him as a classic No. 10 who can play in the hole or on either side. He goes on to say that he is not sure yet where he will fit into the team although he has a few ideas!
So we have another addition to our long list of midfielders / wide players but still no-one who can cover for or play alongside Cole other than kids like Hines or Nouble. We really HAVE to sign another centre forward with experience who can lead the line.
I like the sound of Diamanti but we are still in the position of becoming strugglers in the league as soon as Cole gets a knock. Frankly I'm amazed that we have spent a chunk of our (limited) resources on the wrong type of player.
This website is the most pathetic West Ham site on the web. Always making ridiculously headlined articles to attract visitors but having absolutely no substance whatsoever. I hope no one visits this site ever again. Just pathetic articles.
Hear! Hear!...oh shit, am i still here?..
