Tommo_b Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) I keep reading how it’s a big fee… but it’s not is it! It’s barely much more then what we paid for him. We just signed an Everton player for £50m, and selling one of our key goals and assist performers for the same price. There is no way a City, Newcastle or Chelsea would be selling Diaby for a paltry £50m, I’d expect £70m for a player who’s proven to produce at the highest level in todays market value.

villa89 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 15 hours ago, Made In Aston said: I think most people aren't labelling him a flop, just that his performances didn't live up to the price tag. He has the ability but his form dropped off after the first 10 games, which might have been because he or his family weren't settled here. Or because he's not good enough. I think he's a decent player and would play best in a 4-3-3 system as a wide forward but we don't play that way. I'm not happy to see him leave and I'm not sad either. In these days of supporting PSR United, FFP Rovers and Co-efficient FC then it's likely this is a just too good an offer for our accountants to refuse. No biggie, we have Philogene to replace him already and he'll be worth £50m by next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 You know what really annoys me about this deal. Is Sky are still insisting we spent £52m on him. Making out that we’re losing money. I read a report or see it on the box and I’m like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
