Seems a reasonable deal. As i’ve said before i don’t think Dos Santos has developed at the level say Anderson and Vela from the u17s. He could well be a success in England but is still quite a distance from the finished article. He has yet to show his full potential and what should concern is his arrogant mentality that has been reported by the papers in Spain, which along with not getting first team football, is why he is leaving Barcelona. His attitude is a problem especially considering he has yet to achieve anything at senior level football.

One of the few decisions i agree with Domenech on is that Diarra is a better option in midfield than say Flamini. Surely if he stayed at Arsenal he would be in the team. Aside from his obvious attitude problems i think Diarra is a much more dynamic footballer than Flamini capable of become a main stayer in the French midfield.

Diarra seems well on his way to that record. I can never keep track of where he is at the moment!
