PlayItLivo Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Latics have pulled off a major transfer coup by beating off stiff competition to capture top Scottish player Alexander 'Zander' Diamond. Uh.....okay. Anyway, hope he turns out to be a gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creepy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 could be a VERY good signing this, well done Dickov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 can't say i know a lot about him but him and m'voto in defence could be promising from reports on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamandy1 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well that is the defence sorted, in terms of players who are actully ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well that is the defence sorted, in terms of players who are actully ours Yep, Tarky as back up too- hopefully we may have improved on Captain calamity as I really can't see Diamond dwelling on the ball - Corney's gonna regret dropping that stand, the amount of balls that are going out of the ground this year… New midfielder and nippy little striker next, please...

Lookers_Carl Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Wondering why its only for a year if we beat off such stiff competition to get him???? But hey ho, its a signing :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFCKeepTheFaith Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Was worried he might do a Gordon Greer on us so chuffed with this one. Surely there is an option for a further year or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Tarky will get his chances with suspensions and injuries no doubt. All coming together nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 We got through, what, 6 or 7 centre-backs last season? With loss of form and injuries taking a toll, there will certainly be room for Mvoto, Diamond, Tarkowski and even Carr to play. I reckon we could even see another, maybe on loan, signing.

PlayItLivo Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 If we're paying him more or near what Hazell was on it's could prove to be a bad move. Aberdeen fans seems to think Diamond is :censored:. Slow and clumsy are the common terms used to describe him AND he's injury prone. Rubes on the other hand, wasn't slow but didn't have a great season last year, but he wasn't injury prone either. I dunno, I just got a bad feeling about this one, hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shefflatic Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) he has played 30+ games for them over the past 3 years and Hazell was breaking down an awful lot last season, on his way out fitness wise so glad we got rid. He can;t be any worse than Hazell who didn't show much pace when here either. Gregan had no pace and was a rock for us - this guy is 26, Butler can work on his fitness and Taggart his defending. Only a year so no real comittal - does well we can keep him etc No problems for me. Lets back him and Jean and hopefully threaten at corners!

aberdeenlatic Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Having seen a lot of Zander I am surprised we have secured his services. Does make the odd mistake & can be injury prone but a real 100% effort player who will get us a few goals from set plays. As for Aberdeen fans I think most do rate him...though the Dons fans can be a tad harsh on their own players...(Sound familiar?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shefflatic Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 yeah as i said, can't be any worse - don't get me wrong never rated hazell with the ball at his feet and when given time to think but as a clear-your-lines player when crosses come in he ws OK. Don't epect Diamond to be a gem but a solid all-rounder which is what we need alongside JYM Now for the central midfield to be bolstered with a couple and we will be OK and maybe 1 more ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
