For a few years i always felt Djimi had the potential to develop into a decent player. I remember Souness wanted to pay 3 mill (or so) for him 4/5 seasons ago and at the time i was pleased the deal never materialised. Despire making some improvements to his game i don't believe he will ever become a player you can rely on.
The lad is never a full-back (despite his pace) and you feel his terrible distribution and discomfort with the ball at feet might be less if he played centre-half (just look at Cara.) He certainly looks like a centre-half but doesn't head the ball so well and doesn't read the game.
I'm ok using the lad as a squad player but i'm worried that Rafa sees him as 1st choice ahead of Warnock.
