Deja Vu For Diarra

It was roughly this time last year that West Ham midfielder Alou Diarra went on a rant about manager Sam Allardyce saying how he was lied to and hasn't been given enough opportunities to play first team football.

Well, a year on and it's a case of de déjà vu for West Ham fans and Diarra as Sky Sports are reporting that the French international is hoping to leave West Ham this transfer window.

Diarra was quoted as describing his move to our club as a 'bad career choice.'
It was expected the Alou would miss the whole season after suffering a serious knee ligament injury against Cheltenham in the Capital One Cup 3rd round. Diarra surprised everybody when he returned after just 6 weeks - and with midfield being his natural position he has found himself playing in defense as of late, something that has clearly frustrated the player.

Concerning Diarra, I can see why he would be frustrated, a vastly experienced player who hasn't had much of an impact since joining for Marseille, at times he's looked a very decent player but I believe a move away from the club would be the best for himself and West Ham.

Big Sam hasn't played Diarra consistently at any point of his West Ham career so I would be surprised if we ever found out how good he is.
