duke313 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Haven't seen it mentioned in the thread, but Diaby was a youth player at PSG when Emery was in charge, the Don will already be quite familiar with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep mentioned before, also PSG get 20% of the BL fee. Added to that not only Don will be familiar with Diaby but Diaby will be familiar with Emery’s way of working somewhat or at least know loads about it being around the club. Good for settling in and knowing the environment he’s coming to and Emery’s methods of working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I imagine the add ons are hefty. The low initial fee will be so PSG only get 20% of that. The add ons then all go to Leverkusen I believe. I imagine a significant chunk will be basic appearance related, so the real fee can basically be assumed to be higher than whatever the base is.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The one thing analysts keep saying about this lad is that he is CONSISTENT. Brilliant! A consistent 7 beats a sporadic 8 - 9 all day. Granted, it's good to have both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 2 hours ago, gilbertoAVFC said: Saw The Guardian suggest he was "previously skeptical" about joining Villa. I mean, I get it, but with Torres also not looking too enthused, why do we think that is? Weather, club stature, location? Leverkusen is hardly anywhere to right home about I must say. If you are not a Villa fan I can understand if you were previously skeptical. We hadn't reached a top-half finish since 2011. Players move to further their ambition, win trophies, and earn more money. Under Emery we can meet this criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Cash is a decent defensive fullback, so you'll be grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best defensive fullback in the league. If you sign him to support Diaby, that's really good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always feels like the "Di" sound in french sounds more like a J mixed with a D, fast or slow If you heard Lucas Digne pronouncing his own name it's more like a 'Djeen' than a 'deen' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
