Any 2 of the 3 we've been linked with in last couple pages would be unrealI darent even dream we get two of these ones linked
I just don’t see it being Lucumi OR diakiteSure I read Lucumi wants to stay in Italy but that was only in the mirror.
My Italian person I spoke to thinks Lucumi is miles above us so I think it would be a coup if we got him.
the alternative scenario is we are leaking this to show Lille we have other options re Diakite
or most excitedly maybe we want both
Mate in a world where your in charge and you have to pick between bade and diakite which would you choose ?I think it’ll be one of diakite and bade plus Lucumi for left CB
that’s insane
bade is absolutely class. It was his first pre season game last night he just got a start for France not long ago
His transfer to Villa almost went through in JanuaryBade was linked with Liverpool and Skunks in January. £50m release clause quoted then.
IMO Diakite simply for his composure.Mate in a world where your in charge and you have to pick between bade and diakite which would you choose ?
Diakite for me, i really like both so if we bring in 1 of them I'd be buzzingIMO Diakite simply for his composure.
Bade is stronger and is already in the French NT
but I don’t think Diakite is far behind. Although Bade might be slightly cheaper
thoughts @Scout73 @JimHeron92
I think lucumi and cresswell would do me, cresswell so similar to Ballard easy slot in should he miss games, lucumi perfect for the left, onien, aji, reinildo and hjelde behind him for that side, seelt get a loan til Jan then re-asses, I play too much footy managerI’d take Lucumi and Bade though
I just don’t see it being Lucumi OR diakite
they play different roles
There’s something about cresswell I’m not sold on, don’t think he’s the same quality as the others we’ve been linked withI think lucumi and cresswell would do me, cresswell so similar to Ballard easy slot in should he miss games, lucumi perfect for the left, onien, aji, reinildo and hjelde behind him for that side, seelt get a loan til Jan then re-asses, I play too much footy manager

They’ve already offered to make him their highest earner they can’t go to the amounts other clubs will offerI do wonder if Isak and his agent are just angling for a pay increase
