Transfer Rumour Luis Diaz

Not open for further replies.
UTT has nailed the background on Lucho.

When Diaz left Colombia he played primarily at LW or as a second striker. More recently, Porto have played him as a LWB in a 352 and it has allowed him to cover the whole left flank which he has a great set of lungs for. He wears fullbacks out with his work rate and protects the ball well with a defender on his back (he did this particularly well when Porto took out Juve from the CL).

In terms of players he reminds me of - maybe a more street ball version of a young Spurs Bale on the left? Really direct, a lot of iso ball and has a knack for scoring goals very close to the keeper where others would shoot at feet - he had an amazing goal on Emi Martinez at the Copa from point blank while falling out of bounds that was remarkable.

The watch out would be that the speculation has been he would move to Italy with interest from Roma (Mourinho supposedly a fan) and a CL team there. If it's Juve, I could see him choosing them to continue playing CL ball.
 

Like when you have a love affair with a sexy bird. Turn out she was a fake tramp with hair extensions, lashes, implants etc. She treats you lile crap and leaves. Then you get over it and find a naturally beautiful bird, down.to earth and becomes your wife.
Why do your football analogies always have to be tied to a tramp with fake boobs and are always so degrading towards women? Are you speaking from a place of pain? Maybe you are suffering from some form of PTSD from early childhood/teenager years and you haven’t realized it?

Im a child of divorce. Give me a break.

And I do realise it.

And please forgive me if I have triggered you with the words fake, tramp etc.

I really hope he doesn’t end up in Roma under Mourinho’s command. He tends to damage Colombian players when under him. It happened with Cuadrado and more recently with Davison Sanchez who is finally gaining his form again in Tottenham.
 

Could just be that kean and James look likely to leave. We will need another attacking player to balance the squad. I still can't believe we have yet to bring in a rb
That’d be the dream, keeping Richy and signing Diaz.

Would provide us with fantastic depth and the ability to play Richy up top next to DCL or to rotate the wingers during games.

Agreed. If the Italian mystery team is Juve though the chance to play with Dybala and C4 in CL could be compelling though.

In general, I rate Mourinho right up there with Benitez at randomly making great players look awful.
