Well Thursday when he said yes, somebody said the medical was booked for Sunday then Fab reported contracts were to be signed on Friday so that was confusing. I’m wondering if he did the medical yesterday then flew to U.S. to do the photos and video meeting Emery today and all that and we’ll get the official thing later today or tomorrow given the time difference. Just all guess work. Or maybe they are waiting for international clearance. Edited July 22, 2023 by nick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an ancient bylaw that's never been changed. Anyone who fastens, ties or straps himself to an upright post in public, is considered fair game to be tossed upon by the local peasantry, apart from on Sundays or the King's birthday. If a copper is near by you're allowed to finish in his helmet. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was agreed on Thursday, I’d have thought there would be more concrete talk of a medical by now or him heading to America, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 What chance the Saudis have dropped a few mill in his account. The power of him turning them down is priceless - they want to show that everyone can be bought. The utter words removed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 relax people, its the weekend! I'm sure the club are respecting his time too and with us being in America, there is logistical issues at play. He is probably jetting there as we speak and will do a media piece ready to be posted to the villa socials by midday monday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that injury really derailed his time here. Hopefully Diaby hits the ground running as Leon did, and stays fit. Diaby just looks like a winner. I think he'll come out the gate flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon might feel less pressure to be "the man" on the wing if Diaby assumes that mantle. Which could be good for everyone. If Leon plays under less pressure and his health is managed smartly, he could end up being the player we hoped we were getting all along.

Given Diaby’s height I’m wondering if he’s any good in goal for back up keeper? Can’t do worse that Olsen even at 5ft 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted July 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) If we get Diaby then I reckon Ollie will be a 20+ goals a season striker. Diaby has two good feet and can play in any position across the front , lw rw and through the middle. Very clever on the ball, some lovely through balls and crosses, impressive. It's also been reported that he has a very positive attitude, willing to put the work in to improve. He regularly stays after training to improve his game. Fingers crossed we can get this over the line. Edited July 22, 2023 by tinker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching these clips I’d say that him and Olly could play well together or rotate as the team requires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie k Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 That clip has me excited to see him play with Buendia who seems to have an eye for a tru ball and good lay offs. If they can click then with his pace it could be good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
