Yes indeed, and that will be FSG's excuse when they sell Fab, Hendo, and Diaz for a combined £100m, then bank the money because, unfortunately, try as hard as they can, they just can't pry him away from Madrid. So there you have it. And if we got £200m for Mo they'd do the same thing - go for somebody they know we can't afford/won't come to us, then sigh and say "Well we want to save our money for our #1 target".

Rinse and repeat.

bar that never actually happens.

diaz, nunez, jota, gakpo, szoboszlai, macallister all arrived. we are over the 50mil.net spend right now. and fabinho sale will.actually bring us right back in track.
 
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 ?

If pick Diaz ahead of every other attacking player we have, including Salah!
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
 
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
