Everyword Murray speaks is real in that article. Dowie has wasted a ridiculous sum. Just like I said to some people on here a while back ;-). Is Diawarra for real, he is one of the worst defenders I have ever seen.
I think he needs time, the french league is pretty poor so of course its going to take some getting used to. He's shown on many occassions what a good defender he can be.
You only have to look at players like Shevvy. £30m and whats he really done for Chelsea? Absolutely feck all!
jimmymelrose has always told me that the French league, and he lives there after all, is very poor except for Lyon (on for a record 7th successive title). It's really no wonder that Diawara is taking so long to adapt especially as he's had injuries to contend with as well.
He's been judged a lot on the transfer fee, which is not really very fair - it's not his fault that they spent that amount, although Murray has obviously washed his hands of the deal. On that point, what about Mills' role? Thought he played a key role in the wheeling and dealing, so shouldn't he take some of the flak as well?
In that first home game (Watford?), Diawara looked very good, so he's obviously got some ability. But then again perhaps it's just easier for the chairman to blame him and Dowie...
I agree with AllLeftFoot as well felt that at Fulham Away he immense, occasionally he gets drawn out of position but surely if reed is half the coach he says he is then he will be able to sort that out.
I think if we are to stay up we need a prescence at the back and he certainly gives that.

He must be well upset with his chairman.

We are lucky really that Diawara (perhaps) is our first real expensive ricket. All our other £3 million plus players have given us excellent service.
Murray is right to flag up the mistake before it becomes a habit.

"We still have to play the second half of the season and we will do everything we can to get away from the relegation zone."
'No need to panic'. LOL
