Luiz and diaby were my two favourite players last ywar ans both being sold in a season Luiz I was pissed as I hate FFP / PSR and the need to balance the books This one feels like they've got something up their sleeve, don't have to do it and wouldn't be unless there's something in it for us, I don't think we bank this money I think we spend it and replace him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 If we sell Diaby and use the money for Onana and Felix, we'll be laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 It’s a shame he’s going. He started the season so well, looked rapid and clinical, every shot was inside the side netting. Then for some reason he lost confidence and his form dropped. He still put a shift in and tried to improve, and we saw towards the end his form pick up a bit. Im sure second season he would’ve kicked on, but with Saudi interest it’s money we can’t turn down and get I’ll really set us up for FFP next year. People did say about Monchi to expect the unexpected and that sales could happen, but I’m sure we’ve got some else lined up to replace him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two clubs havent taken the option to sign him permanently so im sceptical.

I just hopw JPB is not his replacement as i dont think he is on diabs leverl right now 12 minutes ago, The_Steve said: I feel your pain. It sucks to lose both, but I trust Unai and Monchi 100% to invest the sales back very wisely. It’s a gamble losing both, but I’m confident it will pay off in the long run. Yeah we have no choice im abit worried about our attacking side i must say. I feel alot of pressure is now gonna be on bailey to create Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Bit of a shame this but if the coaching team are confident that Philogene is good enough to replace him then… so be it. Wonder how much of the money we will use on the CB and Striker we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much of the money we will use on the CB and Striker we need. I can see a situation whereby we let Duran and Diaby go, replace them with Philogene and a versatile 9/10 type, eg Felix type. I feel like the squad is pretty big now I can't see a situation whereby we sell Diaby and add Philogene plus another in that same type of role... Philogene wouldn't be returning unless we were offering him good minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 70m euro total package sounds good but we paid 50-55m for him, it's not a chunk of profit and it's a year of adding someone to our squad wasted. Assumed he'd made a decision last year that football comes first but clearly not, someone who is prepared to go to Saudi and basically retire at 25 isn't someone who loves football the way Unai does so happy to replace. I don't think Joao Felix is the answer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Big money to turn down. Bit concerned about the amount of chopping and changing - big squad turnover. Hope the money goes some way to get a cb upgrade and Carlos and a creative cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
