Reading that RB want significantly more than the 100 million offered for Diomande.
In my mind he isn't worth this much. One season of top flight football isn't enough experience. Look at what happened with Jadon Sancho for example.

Don't worry about the finance, Snoots.
19 Jun 2026 12:29:54
Worry about how Farteta and his boomers will cope with our new blistering attacking football and possession type playing wink wink.

Think it's a bit excessive, Naby looked class and look how that turned out.
19 Jun 2026 13:06:17
What could Diomande have been so lacking only a few years ago that made Bournemouth & Palace pass on him? There are smart people working there.
19 Jun 2026 13:11:16
To get Diomande, we're gonna have to pay big money. I'm sure FSG know what they're doing.
Hopefully, it won't be long before he's a Red.

If true, I'd be pulling out all the stops to bring in Olise, let Yan and Leipzig sweat.
19 Jun 2026 13:25:17
Pretty sure he was a 15 year old when Palace and Bournemouth didn't take him after trials, but let's be honest you can't judge a player off childhood trials, albeit only being 4 years ago.
Looks good enough to me though, shame I have no qualifications for that to mean anything though haha!

Am I on the only one who thinks Olise is overrated?
19 Jun 2026 13:49:38
Olise would command a wage several times that of Diomande's, so the total cost would be substantially higher. That's if you can even prise him away from Bayern in the first place. His work rate off the ball isn't anywhere near that of Diomande's, either.

Throw the 100 mill at Darwin.
The lad's a world class presser, world class at creating space for others, and is apparently capable of scoring 35 goals a season.
Can Diomande or Olise offer that?

FSW - What did Salah add to his game in Italy that was so lacking when he was at Chelsea?
19 Jun 2026 14:05:39
Why pick out the players that haven't done well? Sure, everyone can do that. ?♂️ If that's the case, let's just buy players from the Championship.
19 Jun 2026 14:12:44
Naby failed because of attitude/because he felt he had made it when he signed for us and no longer needed to try, ed002 warned us about it before he came here. He was clearly a top player in terms of skillset, he didn't fail because of lack of talent. Diomande looks like a ferociously hungry talent who wants to become the best in the world.
19 Jun 2026 14:43:58
@Fatwallet, what has Kieta got to do with Diomande?
19 Jun 2026 17:01:03
JK, you've missed the point entirely. It's the chaos that he brings with him that makes him so valuable. The other aspects you mentioned are just bonuses. I'm surprised. You're much sharper than this, normally.
19 Jun 2026 17:16:05
Wdw, signing a player from Red Bull for big bucks that showed great promise? We got burned with Naby.
19 Jun 2026 17:20:30
My apologies, Aray. Since becoming a plastic over a greatest fan in the world, I'm dropping the ball more.
20 Jun 2026 04:19:54
@FW, A completely different player a decade ago. Making random comparisons to support your opinion is meaningless.
