Diame is quoted as saying:
“At West Ham I was shunted around all the different positions, I remember one time I had to play as a striker, That was not good for my career. I wanted to play for a club that is high in the Premier League table.At least with Hull I will be certain of playing in my favoured role. I should have left West Ham a long time ago, as with them I wasn’t permitted to play in central midfield.I wasn’t able to get the biggest clubs interested in me, as when they came to watch me I’d been put in a position that was not mine.You lose your bearings when you get shunted around all the different positions.”
