Jareth Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Looks pretty straightforward, if he's sold then we have better coming in. If he's not, then it's because other deal didn't happen - we have all the cards in this transfer and I doubt Diaby will struggle to carry on if the move doesn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Does he get sold and then magically turn up on loan at Newcastle in January? Is that allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would be allowed but as with all the other players that have moved to Saudi it hasn't actually ever happened so its safe to assume it won't happen this time either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough! Although I first read your post and immediately thought of Chamberlain returning from Germany and saying Hitler was actually alright and definitely wouldn’t invade Poland… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t hold the ball against a league 2 side and often beat himself because his legs moved faster than his head Lol. Just as how you can't decide players are world beaters, based on the first pre season game/training session You can't decide players are shite/reverted to type because of it. Either way, I'm confident we will have an answer if/when Bailey loses form or goes through a rough patch. Every player will, aside from maybe Rogers, who I just have a feeling will be a revelation this season... as per @Delphinho123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 3 hours ago, Delphinho123 said: So odd tbh. ‘Replacement’? We’ve got a number of players who can already play his position better than he can. Obviously a solid business plan making sure you replace people that leave but if somebody is offering 60 million quid for this guy then I wouldn’t be stalling. Depends where he plays. Last season he played central but also times when he was coming from the right where he was more effective. Who do we have to slot in on the right if Bailey picks up a knock as will happen, basically last season it was Diaby or moving Tielemans or SJM there.

How are they throwing away their careers? They're getting paid a lot of money to do their job. With less pressure. You could argue they're actually playing the game better than anyone.

We needed to sign Diaby because of that. Now Bailey has transformed himself here, we can sell Diaby and strengthen elsewhere. Yep, the Bailey thread this time last year is a carbon copy of the Diaby thread now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
