Not bad for someone who's only 24, and has a life in the hospitals behind him, when you believe some posters here.
Diego is not that expensive,probable - there are not many clubs after him; only Real follows him, I believe - but the most topclubs have serious doubts if he's good enough fot them. Why? He failed at Porto, he often dissapeare in the big games and most of the Bremen players failed at another club. Bremen bought Diego for 3, 5 m. pound. Don't forget that Bremen was already one of the best clubs in Germany - they won the German championship - before he came there. Having said that, the guy is still only 22 and has, without any doubt, talent.
I just don't think that he's ready yet to make the difference at a higher level in a team that is not build to get the best out of his offensive players.Bremen always get the best out of his offensive players: Sanago(HSV-sub) was crap for Hamburg but a hero in Bremen, Rosenberg didn't do much for Ajax(Ajax-sub) but is doing well in Bremen etc, Jensen came from Heerenveen, Diego was a sub at Porto etc, etc.
