Kinda hope we don’t haggle too much over the fee for Diakite. Really would be a statement signing to get done at the back
Supposedly 10m short, atm. Internet rumours are we have bid 23m and they’re asking for about 33/34m. Probably gunna need to go up to the 30m mark with bonuses, at a guess.
We just need pay for this one if we can make it happen. The value he brings to us is way above the fee, it literally could be a scale topper to staying up. He is absolutely the dominant and layered CB type that is needed for PL.
Going to be one of those Mondays where we’re certain something will get done and we hear nothing isn’t it
Exactly this, mate. We are all in now with the money we have spent and still have to spend. If we spend an extra 5m than we wanted or value him at, it’s a drop in the ocean, if we maintain our premier league status. Let’s be realistic, that central defence as it stands is ****ing weak for the level we are up against every week, now.
100% mate. I think Ballard is PL ready but he’s gonna get injuries because he’s such a unit. We need at least 2 and to get one of this calibre is an absolute future changer for the club. We are one year ahead of the 5 year plan here. We be 3 years ahead really if we stay up first go. Let’s not **** about, if this is doable, let’s get it done.
