If we could get our hands on jimmy bullard alongside whelan in the middle, etherington and lawrence out wide, i wud be over the moon!!! maybe abit to attacking for us tho, but how gud wud that be?? Bullard alongside Diao surely. Don't forget TP says 'Diao is the best midfielder in the squad by a country mile' and 'Diao is the best player of his kind in the Premiership'. Shame for Whelan, but Bullard would be an improvement on him.

If so, that is rather worrying!

I'm afraid he did refer to Diao in that way. However it is a comment open to plenty of interpretation. How many central midfielders are not allowed past the half way line and spend great chunks of the game behind their centre backs?
You could say that Diao is best in the Prem because there in no one else who plays that role.
To be fair to Diao he has looked very good at times (Wigan away) and we do look steadier with him playing. He is a strange type of player who is probably valued more by his team mates than the supporters.
