Buyens tends to play better without JJ for some reason.
In a defensive way at the start of the season they did ok, But the championship in 2014/15 you can't get away with having 2 slow players in the midfield because we were getting closed down to quickly when we had the ball, and the other midfield have been playing around us and JJ then makes too many fouls when he gets to the ball late.
Buyens is a mystery to me as earlier on he looked good, with Peeters slow build up it didn't take coaches long to cotton on that the ball would be rolled out to Buyens and we were so slow the ball ended up going back to the keeper.
JJ looked better against Brentford until he got injured, really want Jackson to be offered a coaching role next season, still be a player as back up.
Don't want him to go on like colin walsh and others and get stick from some, the man have done so much for this club
I hope he does not go for Diarra, West Ham mate did not rate him, I believe that is the general view for most West Ham supporters from the few games he played.

Hahaha for gods sake, think you're forgetting the fact that west ham are in the premier league, that's not even taking into account that most west ham fans haven't got a clue about anything to do with football, so I'm sure a french international with about 50 caps for them will be just fine for us pal.

West Ham fans want to get rid of Allardyce for losing one game though...
Jackson clearly wasn't fit for the Brentford game. Anyone but Buyens is my preferred option.
Jacko hasn't exactly been on fire all season. No reason to think that Buyens can't do at least as good a job.
You clearly didn't go to Watford.
You clearly didn't go to Derby, Wigan, Brentford, Reading, Watford at home, etc etc They were all dog turd @ Watford.
but Jackson played in all of those games?
So are we saying that Buyens needs Jacko next to him in order to perform? I would like to see how he plays with Cousins (a player with more pace) next to him for a longer period. Jacko and Buyens next to each other is slower than a robin reliant stuck in first gear.
Diarra would be a useful addition. If Buyens could get back his early season enthusiasm i'd have no qualms about him being in instead of JJ alongside Cousins. but he has has just been so poor of late. Wonder when Lepoint is going to be tried.
Surely Lepoint will fill in, he must be fit enough by now or is he suffering from a case of Polish Pete/Nego/Thuram at sparrows lane?
Not sure why we bought him on a 2.5 year deal. Unproven in this country, past 30, with a serious injury from which he has never fully recovered and slower than JJ. Hardly a signing with the future in mind. Is he married to a relative of Duhan?

Bought with St Truiden in mind imo. They'll get promoted and we'll loan le Point to them. Meanwhile he adds to our wafer thin squad this season.
Reading Diarra's Wiki page he seems the type to start an argument in an empty room so it will be interesting to see how he fits in with some of the characters in the dressing room and the manager

when he made his cameo the other week ?
we're still to replace our Coq ?
we're like a rowing team without the little fellow at the end.
Our midfield is a coqless four.
