On again, off again, on again, off again. The Diomande transfer is beginning to look like the relationship of Ross and Rachel from Friends.
Hope it gets sorted out soon one way or the other.

I personally think the energy is wasted where a right back, another forward, a dm, a cb could be a better use of their time.

He looks a good player, but I do worry that even if he does sign, his agents will be ready to hawk him elsewhere soon after.
Would be good if we can sign the lad with some agreement that he drops his agency.

We just won't Pivaaaaaaaaaaat away, it seems.

Good one, FPF. Great episode. A lot of folk won't have the faintest idea what we're talking about! Beats talking about football, which I've never been keen on.

Personally, I hope we don't sign him, if he is successful at Anfield, we'll probably get 2/3 years max out of him before he jumps ship. And if he's not, it will be an expensive mistake. I'd rather get a cheaper workhorse who can provide quality service to Isak whilst we develop Josh Abe, who will be looking to break into the squad over the next 12 months.
Sure, making him our go to is still a couple of years off, but a right footed winger to focus on excellent delivery for our 'very much in need of some assistance star striker' might be easier to find than a 'Salah replacement', could be the smarter option too.
(Yes, I know Diomande's right footd.)

If he's successful after being signed for £100m then let's face it there's only two or three clubs on the planet that could realistically try to take him away. And if them clubs are willing to pay us double what we paid for him I would be ok with that.
I'd gladly enjoy the 2 or 3 great years and then let him fund our summer window in a few years time.
