Since Barca are apparently trying to make the felix move work Torres is probably available, not sure if he can play centrally but we need options anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) 11 minutes ago, IrishVilla10 said: How come? I'm worried Diaby will be like Bailey. From what I've seen, he looks quite similar. Bailey looked brilliant in the Bundesliga but hasn't really done much for us and if Diaby turns out the same, it's a big commitment. At least Ferran has played here before, would cost less (or come on loan) and allow us to then maybe take a punt on another player. I quite like the look of that Sulemana at Southampton if we are looking for a pacy winger and would probably be less of a risk than Diaby with the money being discussed. I do trust Emery though so whatever the club does I'll of course be behind. Edited July 20, 2023 by UpTheVilla26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Can’t wait for him to sign and have a poor game in a few months, only for people to say that they “wish he’d gone to Saud.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaCas Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If there is any truth that he has a tough decision about us or Saudi I’d rather move on straight away - for a young, ambitious player it should be a complete no-brainer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's healthy to set limits and boundaries. We can walk away and it might force them to say "Wait wait, you can have him for 50." Being taken for a ride isn't our style lately and I'd like to see us move on to other targets soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could just keep the player. I don't think they are actively trying to sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think there's a fairly decent chance that's true tbh, and if so, walking away would be in our best interest. If Leverkusen have nobody left to deal with, they'll come back to us with favourable terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then that's fine, if that's the outcome then that's what they will have decided they want to do. He's got two years left on his deal - we go back in next summer and offer 25/30, and job done.
