Diame spreads the love TIGERS midfielder Mohamed Diame says new boss Steve Bruce has shown him more love than Sam Allardyce ever did, according to The Sun. The Senegal international scored against former club West Ham on Monday night in the 2-2 draw at the KC Stadium, and Diame took the opportunity to have a pop at Big Sam. "I came (to Hull) because Steve Bruce told me I was a great player," he said. "I need to play in midfield. I was a winger with West Ham, it's not my position. "I was upset when they (West Ham) equalised. I wanted mine to be the winner."

De Jong joins Toon injury list THEY'RE dropping like flies at St James' Park after it was revealed Newcastle hitman Siem de Jong will be on crutches for six weeks before his rehabilitation process starts. The Dutchman joined Newcastle this summer from Ajax for a transfer fee of around £8m and was expected to lead their attack this season. However, after making only three appearances for the club, De Jong suffered a thigh injury in training earlier this month and is expected to be out for a lengthy period of time. "For now I must spend the first six weeks on crutches", De Jong told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad. The Newcastle medical team believe that the total rehabilitation process will take at least three months, which means that the Dutchman is out until this winter.
