Please **** get him. Dribbles more than Mbappe please. Interesting, from his youtube video he does look a powerhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, very impressive: Yet he only started 13 times I only know a little about him, very rapid, good dribbler and high potential… but is he the finished article? Judging by 17 league starts in 2 years probably not, unless he’s just reached the tipping point very recently Would assume Diaby is more of a solid bet as he’s been a proper first choice player for Leverkusen for 3 seasons now. With the inconsistencies of Bailey, Coutinho, Buendia, Traore I’d rather go with Diaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great area of the market to target… But, we do need more effective players in our first team so Diaby would seemingly make more sense… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 AL-Nassr were banned from registering new players on Thursday, until they pay up on outstanding debts including one to Leicester. I guess they will do that immediately as they are now owned by Saudi PIF. It raises a question over multiple ownership of clubs (PIF who own Newcastle took over the top four Saudi clubs very recently). Newcastle are currently constrained by FFP, and will be concerned that players like Diaby signing for Villa will cause them problems next season in staying above Villa in the PL. So Al-Nassr theoretically step in and make a silly offer to Bayer Leverkusen for Diaby and that interferes with AVFC's plans as it either turns Diaby's head financially and he signs for them instead of us, or pushes Diaby's price to us to a much higher level than would otherwise be the case. Each scenario damages AVFC. I may be overly cynical, but the lack of current regulation with Saudi clubs in relation to UEFA area controlled signings leaves an opportunity for the possibility of unscrupulous actions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole situation is rotten. St maximin is rumoured to be sold to Saudi for a nice 40m. Not bad for a player who is not in howe's plans! He also commented that loans from the Saudi clubs was a possibility. So Saudi clubs could buy all the likes of benzema and then loan then to Newcastle for minimal cost, circumventing FFP. If fifa and PL don't intervene then football as a competition is absolutely dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Theoretically you could also have the situation where Gerrard might well want to sign his good friend Phil Coutinho, but PIF may say "NO" because they do not want to pay money to Villa and considerably reduce our wage bill (improving our FFP situation) as we are a probable Newcastle rival.
