Obviously can't resist the chance to link up with Churchy again.
If he had stayed we could have a Cousins and Poyet CM partnership which would have been one of the best in the league. His Dad should have advised him better to stay.6 -
Needs to get in their team first. Couldn't even get in the Huddersfield team last season.2

What a waste.

Why didn't Daddy Gus take him to Sunderland when Diego was better than a couple of midfield players who were in the 1st team at the Estadio de luz.
Or Didn't Gus want his son to hear the stick he got every game.
Sometimes Nepotism isn't such a bad idea.0 -
He should have stayed another season or two and would have improved further and definitely earned himself a move to a top top club like Gomez did.4

If true that is an incredible signing for MK Dons.1

Maybe, maybe not - but although very good (at Championship level) he was and never will be in Joe's class.dizzee said:He should have stayed another season or two and would have improved further and definitely earned himself a move to a top top club like Gomez did.
It's happened many times before where a very good prospect performing well at lower level just isn't good enough for the transition. The West Ham coaching staff are better placed to judge as they have seen him in training along with established prem players as the comparison. I hope I'm wrong as I wish Diego the very best in his career.3 -
Agreed. I echo everyone else that has said it's a complete waste; for all parties concerned. We've lost out on having an excellent midfielder for the last couple of years, and he's lost out on doing the job he's spent his entire life training to do. According to Wikipedia he's on a four-year contract. With one year gone, and not much chance of getting involved this year, he'll be half way through by the end of the season... with two key years spent not playing.dizzee said:He should have stayed another season or two and would have improved further and definitely earned himself a move to a top top club like Gomez did.

And a change of manager which always makes it much harder for relatively unknown youngsters to break into the new bosses plans.PhuturePhreak said:

Wouldn't put him in our team ahead of Kashi & Cousins10

Poyet was more a Buyens type player than a Kashi, so if he was going to fit in our midfield I guess it would be alongside Kashi or Cousins who would be more 'box to box'.charente addick said:Wouldn't put him in our team ahead of Kashi & Cousins
However I like the idea of a Cousins and Kashi midfield both very hard working with Kashi being perhaps the more defensive of the two.

Cousins has played more games but talent wise Poyet is leagues ahead of him for me.
The two of them could of been good in midfield though I think as a partnership.8 -
Poyet is a better technical player than Cousins by quite some way IMO.3
-
I agree Poyet technically better -- but in the way that Luke Varney had better technique than Derek Hales. Sometimes, heart commitment and incisiveness are needed, and maybe Poyet's ability to spray passes around the half-way line aren't enough7
-
Cousins the better player. Can play in at least four positions and has a better engine and awareness. Poyet probably the more 'natural' footballer but I'd have Cosuisn ahead of him.3
-
Poyet, the man born in Spain and raised in England, who plays for Uruguay. Sums his level of loyalty up.10
-
Personally I prefer Cousins1
-
Poyet is much better than Cousins, I'd take Cousins over Poyet any day.9
-
Went for the money. No risk for west ham only a basic fee. Should have stayed and progressed with us and when he finally moved on at least the club paying the much higher fee would really want him!2

Hahahaha you're having a laugh aren't you? Poyets game is tackle - pass side ways, intercept - pass side ways - yellow card.cafctom said:Poyet is a better technical player than Cousins by quite some way IMO.

Cousins is by far the more complete player. Poyet is good at what he does but Cousins has the potential to be the complete midfielder. He can play anywhere across midfield, in any role, can score and create goals and he can lead a team.5

Sheesh, a lot of after-the-fact here. Poyet was class and you all know it. Dick, mind.10

Poyet worked his ass off for riga but wasn't nursed into the game like Cousins.
Shame is Cousins is at least catching him up now and looks to have more of a future.

If only poyet had gone for £5 million he would be the best player we've ever produced and we would be so proud of him etc...8

So you've admitted that he can tackle, intercept and successfully pass. Doesn't sound bad to me.Greenie Junior said:

Cousins, for all his effort and engine, gives the ball away way too often and isn't as physically strong as he looks.2 -
He could've at least gone on loan to a proper club. Welcome to the big time Diego!3
