KMitch Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 In all seriousness, it's a huge coup to pull this signing off as well. Diaby is a player you'd expect to go to someone like Arsenal, Bayern, or Juve for 50 million and no one would bat an eye. Emery and Monchi quietly making huge moves so far with Pau Torres and hopefully Diaby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Trust the Twitter bedwetters to get mad about an alleged low bid. Not how negotiations work. Even if that’s remotely true. French sources seem to suggest we are negotiating still. Edited July 12, 2023 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you Doug Ellis? 28 million for Bailey is very low budget in the current market 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Under £35m for a player of his calibre would be fantastic value. Could imagine it being closer to Emi’s fee though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll lose around £20m on him. Diaby seems to be his replacement which we badly need because Bailey hasn't worked out.

TheMightyVillans Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 45mill with add-ons probably more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Assuming if we are formally bidding then we might have sounded out Diaby and he’s interested. I know it doesn’t always happen or he wants us to bid to force bigger clubs to bid but I’m trying to be positive that he could be serious about coming here.

For those who want a bit more detail, the number of minutes Bailey played equated to around 83 games. Diaby’s four seasons in the Bundesliga are - 125 games. 31 goals. 38 assists. Equivalent of 107 games worth of minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFFN indicated there's interest but lack of CL might be a hindrance. The signing of Torres shows it's not impossible to sign higher calibre players without it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds to me as they are happy with what would be the initial fee and the negotiations will be about structure of fee, add-ons, sell-on clause etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
