I must admit to being rather pessimistic about Diouf, but Big Sam certainly knows him, and if anyone can get the best out of him, he will. However i'm afraid i really dont think he is that good a player. You can understand managers and fans putting up with the likes of Rooney and Ronaldo, and Gazza and Bestie, because of the genuine talent that they have. We can all remember great bits of skill from the likes of them, but i genuinely cant think of a Single highlight from Diouf apart from his diving, spitting, or abuse of fans and other players. I really hope i'm proved wrong here and things work out, but i can see him being a devisive figure in the dressing room, particularily if he doesnt play every game. I can understand why people think that Matty has underperformed, but can anyone recall him ever being given 6 or 7 consecutive games where he has played from the off? He's often been the scapegoat when others hav'nt been performing any better, and has been used out of position many times too. Its usually the case that younger, homegrown players are the ones to suffer, because managers have to back up players they have brought in, but Mattys still only young, and i really hope he's still got a future at Rovers, i still rate the lad.
