Very odd that Chairman Gold has tweeted that Diame has a release clause in his contract. It's almost as if we accept he is going to leave and we are hoping to trigger some sort of bidding war. But if the release clause figure is met, why would the buying club have to offer more?
I'm not totally convinced by Diame but there's nobody currently in the squad to replace him, so if he leaves, we will have to buy a replacement. Noble is playing the anchor playmaking role superbly, but the first half against Chelsea showed how we miss Diame's power and drive in central midfield. His passing is poor, his vision is shocking at times, and he takes a couple of touches to get the ball under control, but once he is powering forward, he is intimidating.
A cross between Viera and Toure? We wish! But he's more than half decent and he would be a big loss in January. A tasty bonus to sign a new contract with a much higher release clause would be the sensible way forward, but with Liverpool and Arsenal being linked, Diame may not be interested.

can a player play for 3 different premiership teams within 8 month?
bit of a waste for the buying team if they cant play him until may
on the other hand it came out he had a release clause 3 month ago so its not exactly new information
It would be really bad if we let go of Diame...if we lost the current midfield of Nolan, Noble, and Diame, we no longer be as stable as we are. I hope Gold doesn't pull off something stupid..
Daz its a season that counts and Diame was a free agent so do the maths. HF how about we get rid of the clause instead of making it higher.I don't think his passing is as poor as you make out it's more he doesn't ass enough because he doesnt look up enough but he is skillful and and i find it quite funny how players just bounce off him. Also ive seen alou diarra play and hes crap so no replacement in him.
Thought this was a leeds blog ????? Ffs why you talking about wet spam cockney retards for ????
You're not convinced, HF? Kidding me right? He's our most important player.
Derby raped you
Look you can borrow Davide somma for a month while he returns to fitness. It'll give him a chance to get match fit in low tempo kickabouts at a no-mark club.
