That why the Diaz sale was baffling unless a replacement is already lined up.

He wanted a move.
Puzzling, he was playing in the best team he could have

I know but we sold him without yet having brought in a replacement.

Not that puzzling when you think about it - he wanted to earn more money and we weren’t willing to pay him what he wanted.

The money/wages thing has been disputed though

Feels like we’re leaking this Barcola stuff to shake Isak loose.

That doesn’t answer my point.

It looks like Elliott will be joining Morton at Lyon. According to TIA we will gent ÂŁ15M for him plus add ons and a buy back clause.

ÂŁ15m? That seems rather low

His actual wages have been disputed; not that he wanted a bumper contract

Are you sure? That’s exactly what we’ve got for Morton. Elliot would cost a bit more tbf

I don’t see that anywhere.

I assume he would be more than 15m

That’s because I wasn’t responding to your point.

@Quicksand It was pretty clear from reports that Diaz wanted to earn more money, and that we weren’t willing to meet his demands and were instead happy to let his contract run down. I don’t blame him, nor do I blame us in this scenario. Very good player on his day, a tad inconsistent, and I think selling him was the right move for all parties given his apparent desire to make one last big contract before he passes his sell-by date.

The stance has been 40 +buy back/sell on, or 50 up front. Definitely nowhere near as low as Morton and not in Lyon price range.

I thought that we wanted ÂŁ40M maybe they are confusing it with the Tyler Morton transfer which was ÂŁ15M but I thought Elliott was going to Leipzig?

That in part may depend on how Arne wants to set the team up? There was some discussion last season about Diaz probably not being a great fit for Arne’s likely set up and the reported attempt to swap him for Alvarez possibly supports that. This summer we’ve picked up Ekitike and are expected to bring in Isak.

Also, Wirtz can easily play from the left as well as attacking midfield and as a no. 10

I assume this someone making up a transfer rumour whilst doubting themselves and showing some thinking about it.

Truly we’ve reached peak garbage.
