Diarra Nearing Full Fitness

[Julius Geezer]

Yet another option for our central midfield!

He's a very useful player but who would have him in the side?

[bulgariawhite]

Wouldn't last 10 mins. One hard tackle and that would be it. Not worth taking the chance I'm afraid

[Whiteroom]

I'd have him back in a shot. If he could play he would be our best midfielder. Real class. Put him a pay-to-play and he would do a great job. If we could keep him fit (unlikely) perhaps he would even (in the event of us going down) play for us in the championship.

[JackyFulham90]

We are in such a bad position he would be worth a shot, even if he only managed 3 games he would make a difference as if he could get fully fit he is a quality player

[BishopsParkFantastic]

Too late!

Diarra nearing full fitness how many times have I heard that joke

Diarra nearing full fitness how many times have I heard that joke

One of Jol's favorite refrains. Remember hearing that several times from him last season only to find out that he was nowhere near or enduring yet another injury.

If he's truly fit, he's worth a short term deal. What could it really hurt if we have the roster space? If it's desperation, as it seems, and it's a case of 'get out there and give me whatever you can' then I'd rather he be able to walk in his retirement than play 20 to 30 minutes a game. I would not view him as a 30 minute game changer type substitution. His kind of impact seems to be that he's able to play his role and allow the rest of our players to not concern themselves with that on top of their own positions. We need a 80' - 90' Diarra.

He'd walk into my side.

If a man works that hard to come back, you have to give him a shot.  Otherwise, there's no fairness in the world, and all hope is lost.  Pay for play, short term basis--sounds right to me.

[epsomraver]

He'd walk into my side.

Is that because he cannot break into a trot yet? :005:

[something_amusing]

it's been so long, what is actually wrong with him again? diarra, holtby and sidwell/kvist 3 man midfield would be a dream...never gunna happen

[horse1031]

Full fitness Diarra and we might win out.  Too bad he isnt going to be :HD:

[HatterDon]

The only way Diarra will ever be near full fitness is if he sits next to Holtby.

I can't believe that anyone still believes he'll ever be fit enough long enough to feature with anybody.

[MJG]

Not sure 'Diarra and 'Full Fitness' can really be used in the same sentence.

[SouthfieldWhite]

I take it you've all been watching Diarra train at MO on a daily basis and are in regular contact with the medical and fitness staff.

Why disregard the bloke when you don't know how his rehabilitation is going.

IF he can get back to full fitness, it can only help us , only time will tell but let's give the bloke a chance

Why are people still talking about Diarra?

Because he's still training with us and if he got back to full fitness he'd be absolute class for us? This guy ran midfields for Real Madrid- he can absolutely dominate the middle and would immediately solve our problem of giving the ball away in that area.

[Forever Fulham]

In his day, a world class holding mid with great skill.  Piano legs unfortunately.  Stove pipes. 

[BedsFFC]

In the short time he played for us he was best midfielder.

We played Villa, were 1 - 0 but Villa were pushing hard. 30 to go, we bought a 80% Diarra on and he just turned the game. We weren't troubled again.

Keep him on board
