RichW Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Am I the only one whose just not excited about this transfer? No idea why but I just feel very "meh" about this transfer. End of the day if he wants to go Saudi Arabia then its a player I'm glad is not coming, there are plenty of other players for the club to target if it doesn't happen. Guess we are going to have to get used to transfers like this being played out in the media. Can't remember the last time we've had to read constant updates to Villa bidding on a player over a week or so. Purslow must have been very good at keeping stuff out the media. Could just be a case of higher profile player we target its bound to happen I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen the limitations of Duran type transfer in short term as the manager clearly dosen't think he's ready just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Diaby is some level above Johnson imo, it would be great to have both of them at the club as they have a lot of potential and will improve a lot, but if we could only have one it would be disappointing to have johnson instead of diaby, ngl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 6 hours ago, Delphinho123 said: I imagine we will find out today. Looks like he has a simple choice between us and Saudi. I’d be shocked if he chose us. Two clubs are bidding for him, one with a lot of money, one with insane amounts of money. Diaby and his agent will play both sides until the last moment to get the best deal they can for themselves at their favoured club. That may be us, it may be them. But he won't be deciding anything (atleast vocally) until a club reaches an agreement with Leverkusen, or until it's too far into pre-season that he needs to force Leverkusens hand. I'd be surprised if we found out today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Moussa Diaby is a very good player. He's quick and knows where the goal is as both a scorer and an assister. If we sign him and he adds another handful of goals to last seasons total then he will have done the job we need. I will be very happy if he joins Villa.

It's probably the regions hidden gem little party Island lol Alot of people drive over to Saudi in the week for work and/or head back over to Bahrain on the weekends. That aside, the point still kind of stands, whether " strict " observers or not, being close to Makkah, or in a Majority Muslim region will defo be a sell for Muslim players. I used to travel a fair bit to Bahrain from Dubai. Whilst much less in your face than over here, there's a cracking little nightlife scene. I said in another thread that Al Ettifaq is right by the bridge into Bahrain, and only a 45 minute drive into Manama. The Saudi's will want players and managers to have their principal residences in KSA, but I'd be shocked if a lot of them don't have apartments in Manama, Doha and Dubai too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UpTheVilla26 Posted July 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2023 I reckon we should just move on cos by the time Leverkusen eventually accept a fee, Diaby will be about 47. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
