DIOMEDE: I'M STAYING WITH REDS

Liverpool winger Bernard Diomede has revealed that he will stay at Anfield, despite a lack of first team opportunities, mainly due to injury, since signing from Auxerre last season.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a return to his former club with Lens and Sedan also keen on the midfielder.

However, Diomede said: "In May I held talks with the coach, (Houlier) and he told me he needs me. Therefore I decided to stay with Liverpool. I have settled into the English way of living and am keen to stay."

"Whatever my form, whatever my objectives I had to realise that those in the team deserved their place. I did not say anything about being unhappy until March and then an English club contacted me.

"That interested me, but Gerard Houllier rejected the transfer. Diomede admitted that he moved to Liverpool to try and resurrect his career after it stalled following France's World Cup win in 1998.

"After the World Cup, I endured two difficult seasons in Auxerre and I lost the desire for playing. England was the ideal place for me to bounce back, but it has not worked out yet. When I was at the top, I was revitalized but I am currently at the bottom of the scale and I am sure I will rise to the top again.

Seems like he has a bit of sense. He looks like quite a good player. So i think that he deserves his chance providing he is prepared to knuckle down and show ged what he can do.

Eddie · « **Reply #2 on:** July 12, 2001, 07:14:17 pm »

Good to hear that.Whats not in dispute is the fact that we do need quality width and "Little Bernie" fits the bill if he can steer clear of injury.Get his nose down and take his opportunities.

"Le Boss" doesn't like giving up on players.Murphy and Redders are prime examples,so perhaps it's just what Bernie needs.Good luck to him!

I'm glad about that, i think given the chance he could be a class act.

John Marquis (RedRock) · « **Reply #4 on:** July 12, 2001, 09:36:25 pm »

Good news in my opinion.
Gerard clearly rates the guy and BD appears prepared to 'give it a go'.....I only saw him play once last season and was impressed with his first half performance (against Sunderland) being especially unlucky with that over-head kick which looked well over the line ....if I remember right he was 'bullied' out of the game by Emerson Thome during the second half....
I think we all agree if there is one area where we can improve it is in the area of natural width and maybe here BD can provide that missing ingredient.
Bob, what news of Richie Partridge following his time in Bristol ?

Paul Tomkins · « **Reply #5 on:** July 12, 2001, 09:40:09 pm »

I agree, he was class against Sunderland, running at people, although coming inside rather than staying on the wing. Will anyone ever hug the touchline for us again?

Curly Tom · « **Reply #6 on:** July 12, 2001, 10:08:04 pm »

maybe we should splash out on an ex-linesman. :-/

Gojedo · « **Reply #7 on:** July 13, 2001, 11:48:22 am »

Good on 'em I reckon, Gutsing it out like that, deserves to show he's got what it takes, yeah he did'nt get much of a show last season, hope he does the deed...there's a lot to be said about determination like that...bloody top-notch...

Pat · « **Reply #8 on:** July 13, 2001, 03:21:32 pm »

The sooner he gets back to his best, the better. He could make a real impact this season - he certainly seems to have the right attitude.

Hugh · « **Reply #9 on:** July 13, 2001, 10:06:44 pm »

Thats good. He is a World Cup Winner and will get his chance like every player deserves.

john_mac · « **Reply #10 on:** January 17, 2003, 04:01:43 pm »

Apparently after his blistering career at Anfield (well he nearly scored) he has joined AC Ajaccio on loan till the end of the season.

buckshee · « **Reply #11 on:** January 17, 2003, 04:24:50 pm »

He scored for the reserves last nite

It'll get him off the wages for a while (or partly off the wages)

dave70 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2003, 06:23:48 pm »

Finally plays a blinder, then clears off. I'm sure this club is jinxed.

Roddysul · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2003, 08:34:36 pm »

to Ajaccio aparently according to the official site.

Forgot he was a world cup winner !

liverweb · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2003, 11:52:10 am »

A shame he had a great first game and great last game but the middle was full of shite apart from that overhead kick cleared off the line against Sunderland.

Olly · « **Reply #20 on:** January 20, 2003, 11:59:26 am »

I may be a bit naive here, but who are AC Ajaccio? Never heard of them.

liverweb · « **Reply #21 on:** January 20, 2003, 12:04:10 pm »

French first division side

Jason_King · « **Reply #22 on:** January 20, 2003, 12:55:43 pm »

What a quality waste of money, never saw much of him so dont know if he got a fair crack of whip or if he wasany good?

His contract is up in the summer anyway so he will be gone anyway. Should knock a fair bit more off the wage bill along with Berger and Heggem. Can see the wage bill dropping below £50m for next season.

Erm...... No Paul, I was very shocked that Troyes were losing. They have a very strong team this year you know.

Paul · « **Reply #31 on:** April 14, 2003, 10:39:26 pm »

Does he still think he is staying?

Reeves · « **Reply #32 on:** June 3, 2003, 09:27:23 pm »

Now that he's gone, for £3.5 million, and what must have been about 3 games max and 1 overheadkick, was his signiture LFC's worst ever in terms of games played, ability and money spent?

I once read a book about the worst ever signings of every club. Ours was Paul Stewert. From memory I think Stewert was 1.8m, but I may be wrong on that.

What's your opinion?

Mark_P · « **Reply #33 on:** June 3, 2003, 09:28:07 pm »

That was in as well that overhead.

Dicks

Babb

Ruddock

and one who's still playing

To be honest I wish this lot had only played 3 games between 'em .. and yes Ruddocks game is the 3-3 v Manure

Reeves · « **Reply #35 on:** June 3, 2003, 09:40:32 pm »

Babb & Ruddock were better than Diomede.

Good call on Dicks. I think he was either 3.5 or 4.5 million as well.

Blighted by injuries, similar to Diomede. Also shit

Think Dicks was £2.5m .. but that was then...

Babb (£3.5m) was bought on the back of of USA 94 where I could have played alongside Paul McGrath and looked good. I remember when he was on the verge of signing I watched him for Covee and thought OMG !!! Nooooo

I hated Ruddock (£3m ish) for his blase couldnt give a sh*t attitude to the shirt... not to mention the girth of the fat tw*t.
He just took the p*ss big time..IMHO

Adeemo · « **Reply #37 on:** June 3, 2003, 10:55:56 pm »

Ruddock is a legend IMO just because of his goal celebrations. Loved 'em

Adeemo · « **Reply #38 on:** June 3, 2003, 10:57:20 pm »

and now I'm a legend with that post, a total coincidence as well.
