Midfielder must be sold in January – Three things learned about Newcastle from defeat v Burnley
Diame has got to go
A surprise name among the starting XI, this outing should be the last time Mo Diame gets the chance to appear in the first team line up.
He had supporters up in arms with his display, looking well off the pace, consistently poor passing and an inability to make the most of his imposing stature in the centre of the park.
He was perfectly fine when coming up against Championship quality last season and it is about time he was shipped off to the second tier, after acting as a passenger at Turf Moor.
A centre midfielder must be a priority for Benitez in January and hopefully Diame can raise some funds for his own replacement.
