They've spent a fortune! £120 million in pure profit selling academy players in Grealish and Chukwuemeka last couple of years. They've also sold and recycled other players too (Ings, Targett for example) We've not had a single sale of any note which is why we're hamstrung by FFP.

Cronky Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Maybe I'm wrong but I have the impression that this player's stock has diminished over the last year or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I've always had a sneaky feeling he'd go for a fair bit less than the kind of blustering fees talked about last summer, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 24 minutes ago, Toon88 said: No guarantee Diaby is a hit, or he even wants to go to Villa. Tbh, given our financial position, I’d rather bag a proven PL player like Barnes, for half the price. I wouldn’t be jealous over missing out on Diaby. Villa must be close on FFP Considering one is a left winger and the other a right winger, who is the right sided Barnes-like alternative you have in mind?

Matt1892 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 33 minutes ago, gdm said: I’d be disappointed if Villa got Diaby and we went for Barnes. Just my personal opinion It would be strange in that Barnes plays down the left and Diaby predominantly plays down the right. Out of both sides the right is more pressing than the left to be upgraded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Depends how much Diaby goes for really. Bayer Leverkusen were taking £50 million plus last year, if they can get him for £40 million or less, it's worth the gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundesliga tax and all that but he’s still super rapid, direct and skillful which would translate to the PL. I’d wager Barnes would get more goals though.

A better way of phrasing it might be I don't think he'll be as effective in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) A bit like Szob vs Maddison init. Diaby is more exciting where as Barnes just already has outrageous numbers in the Premier League while being cheeper. Villa look good like.

The Prophet Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 It'll be interesting if Emery bins off the league for the cups. He was known for it in Spain and they'd have a great chance in the Europa Conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
