re: Diamanti, surely no one was doubting his ability. I mean, you don't play in Serie A and represent Italy for nothing (though it does feel like that of late lol).
But I'd agree with those who strongly dislike him, as he is definitely someone who whines and dives a lot. Can change the game in an instant - yes, but he can also be really behave like a petulant child and really get under your skin.
And he's always been like that. I remember several year's ago he criticised Totti ahead of a Roma v Bologna clash, saying he wasn't a club stalwart as he was getting paid lots of money and that real club fans would play for free. As if he (Diamanti) didn't make a comfortable life out of football - though as far as I know, he's never had to turn down Real Madrid and Man Utd to stay with his boyhood club!
