Polarboy 2124 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Most likely a terrible career move by Coady, who's a very decent centre half. I had actually assumed that he was an Everton fan given he's a scouser and chose what is a downward move to Everton, but apparently he's a Liverpool fan. The only logic to the move is that he wanted to move home for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also on the fringes of the England squad, 3 months off a World Cup and wasn’t getting a game at Wolves… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he played every game pretty much last season, so maybe he's lost his place to Collins who they signed this summer, but one game into the season is a bit early to be thinking you're bench fodder and move. So I would assume it's more complex than your comment suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch his celebration when he scores against them in March this year - a goal which was sinking them at the time. I hope he has a good start or he could get the Rafa treatment. Actually I hope he has a fucking terrible start. Edited August 9, 2022 by Gemmill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was listening to Anderson on't wireless last night and he said he thinks he will go as he doesn't want to play second fiddle. Howe has said he may get shut of a keeper. Would rather see Darlow go.

Dr Gloom 19784 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 According to that article Dieng is available for £15m - so two players for less than one James Maddison, potentially. Fuck knows if there’s any truth in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone from the club officially stated that Diaby and Maddison were outside budget? Not meaning to seem argumentative but there's a lot of unsubstantiated guess work being circulated by the English media - this piece on Dieng & Paqueta included. I have a sense Paqueta might happen but close to the deadline. I'm judging that purely on his social media postings and his close links to Bruno. There seems to be an expectation in France that his days at Lyon won't last much longer and that England is his most likely destination. If that happens you have to think we are in an extremely strong position. That said he's got 3 years remaining on his current deal so it won't be a cheap purchase.

It's not an earth-shattering call to suggest bids will be rejected. 90mins are definitely not a reliable source in isolation. If more mainstream media outlets pick it up - Sky / Times / BBC etc then it's quite possibly got serious legs (like we saw with the Botman transfer) but we're certainly not near that tipping point yet.

Polarboy 2124 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) 90mins were also all over the Ekitike saga from start to finish from January onwards. Perhaps whatever legit contacts they do have, have decent intel about Ligue 1, which of course is where Dieng and Paqueta ply their trade. Of course this is me more trying to convince myself than actually being all that confident. With Shelvey out now, Gallagher, Dieng and Paqueta could be a very decent end to the window. Of course Gallagher is unlikely to want to come if we can't guarantee him that he would be an important part of the team. So I can't see him and Paqueta happening unless we restructured the team to accommodate both, which is unlikely. If our move for Paqueta is legit, then the Gallagher stuff was very likely pure paper talk. Edited August 9, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 11 of those were starts in the league. With Dieng it seems we are going after potential, and are willing to take a chance on a young player given he can play centre forward and out wide, which will allow us to cover Wilson while we bed him into the team playing him out wide, which obviously has less pressure on it than leading the line for a team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 He's 22 and only played one full season in the top flight. 8 goals wasn't a bad return for last season (better than Wood!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can play wide right I'd take that solution, sounds perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
