The one month away? Yeah. But I think it's not that a big a problem. French teams with 8 or 9 African stars survive the AFCON each year. This year, the only man of note we are losing is Gervinho, so we're largely shielded from it.

Captain

No ACN and shorter travel times are better than having ACN and longer travel times; that's all. Not really sure why there is a need to delve deeper into the reasoning.

Claudius

Oh, I agreed with you that it's an annoyance, but I don't think it's as big as many make it out to be. Where top class players are available, you take them and think about AFCON later.

Captain

It's because an 'in-season' tournament often has a severe impact on the rest of the said season. The ACN will be better now that it takes place in odd years but the same is equally true of south american players and asian players; it's not exclusive to the african zone. If a player is able to play for a european nation, it is favourable given the calendar.

Burnwinter

The flat-capped one speaks truth. The ACN involves a heavy roster for a successful country—could be up to 6 pressure matches in 3 weeks in unfamiliar stadia and locations.

He's still a wanker though

At least one a day, twice on the weekend.

Timbob

Not that keen on Diame. He's very inconsistant.

Meatwad

well we're down to his level now, so welcome aboard.

Timbob

Although a lad at work reckons he's very good, so who knows.

FrancisJeffersAwfulCareer

No signings will help improve us with Wenger's insistence on putting players in their flat-out wrong positions. Not to mention his penchant for coaching any individuality out of their games.

Timbob

Not picking on you Franny, but just seems like empty rhetoric to me. Wenger didn't coach the individuality out of Henry, Pires, Cesc, Kanu etc. And he's not coached it out of Gervinho or Chamberlain either.

For years people said he'd ruined RVP by making him more of a team player, big now he's the best centre forward in the world.

after zlatan, falcao, ronaldo and messi that is.

Pepe LeFrits

Not convinced this team needs a guy called Mo in it.

Ronny and messy ain't centre forwards. And he's at least as good as the other two.

Well they would be better in that position too

Messi's not a striker??

lorddulaarsenal

Course he would

Sun reporting that West Ham, in a bid to scare us off, are offering to double Diame's wages if he agrees to doubling his buy-out clause.

lorddulaarsenal

If we want him that will just armament us move sooner
