    Deffo. Kimmich is great on the ball and defent off of it. We already have midfielders witht that profile.

    We need a physical profile, ball winner, DM

    FSG would sell their own grandmother and then say they can't get their preferred replacement, so they've had to bank the money.

    Not saying that I would sell Diaz but the reasoning behind it could be that he hasn’t really kicked on since joining (injuries haven’t helped), his output is nothing special and he’s yet to really connect with fellow attackers

    Yeah, I wouldn't sell him either.. but I don't think he has proven irreplaceable either. I have no problem with him, but if a "better player" came along for less than we could get for him, I wouldn't object to selling him.

    I don't think we can (or would) get better for the same price, so right now I'd say hold on to him; but eyes should always be open.

    Back on the same side here lol <cheers>
    I won’t knock him as I don’t like doing that to our players but to me he is one of those players who looks amazing but actually he probs could just have given a simple pass
    Were he to add an end product we are looking at a different beast but it isn’t there atm imho

    Can't believe what some of you are saying about Diaz. A bad injury hampered him last season, not least in gelling with the team so he has to start again this season. He's got talent in bucket loads.

    The irony of Donga saying FSG would sell their grandmother when some of you would sell players at the drop of a hat, didn't go unnoticed.

    Diaz has that unpredictability that no one else has. He has the ability to go past people with skill in tight spaces. Should be crucial against packed defences where can’t just use pace to go past someone.

    Was brilliant when he joined. Was offering a goal involvement every other game which although could be improved was decent for a jan signing. Looking forward to him getting a good run this year hopefully staying injury free.

    Keita was very good when he joined and his stats were pretty damn good till the end but there is very little love for him on here
    Not saying anyone is right or wrong here but Diaz hasnt done enough just yet to be protected imho

    were someone to offer 80m would we take it ?
    Is the line here the money or the player ?

    That’s a fair opinion
    I love triers
    They are my favourite
    But not there with Diaz yet although I do like him

    I not a big fan of Jota so I would take him over Jota but Jota has probably got better goal stars lol

    Salah I think is one of a few World Class players I. The league but strangely I am not sure if he would be the same anywhere else

    I like Nunez but Klopp doesn’t lol

    Gakpo I think I will like a lot

    who knows lol
    Diaz I am meh about atm (but I am on side of liking lol)
    What I will say is - I reckon Diaz will get injured a lot

    I think Jimmy saying he'll miss henderson has definitely sent a few people dizzy.

    When he was fit and firing diaz looked our only hope of scoring at times, his injury was a huge blow. God I hope he comes back the same player.

    Really looking forward to Jota being fit and available this year. Guys knows how to stick the ball in the net and although his link up isn’t quite there, has a good habit of being in right place at right time.

    Showed at the end of last season with flurry of goals what we were potentially missing

    I’m not going to waste my time defending Diaz, will just put this down to stir craziness because of the lack of football.

    Kimmich seems to be gaining heat, surely the fee would be far too much for us at his age
