Transfer Rumour Luis Diaz

[Stephenlloyd]

We probably need to throw 40 million euros at Porto to get this done. From Romano and Joyce's tweets, it seems the player wants it which is always a good sign.

Totally depends on Moise Kean, Rodriguez and one of Delph or Davies leaving to get the FFP wiggle room that allows this over the line.

I doubt we will go to that figure. But even at 35mil, it’s only 7mil a year over 5yrs add in maybe 4mil in wages. Surely we can find 11mil.

 

[Bluestar]

I very much doubt it’s dependant on that
Richarlison will be going nowhere in the next 2 days. We’ve obviously been taking to Porto, Diaz and his people for a while. As soon as it’s not done 5 minutes after we’re linked, our fans go into meltdown.

Apparently they need money and I read Porto only owe 80% of him, so I suppose it Makes the deal even more complicated

We don’t have money unless we sell someone, so the talks must be a ‘just in case’ scenario.

If Richarlison stays, we won’t sign him. We won’t have the money. If he goes, Diaz is the replacement. I read somewhere they are looking for £60m. Porto don’t sell cheap.

Think will depend on the structure of the Kean deal.

If we get a £5-7 mil loan fee + wages off the books we could maybe push with a higher offer.

If not it'll be someone like Dan James on loan sadly.

That carthorse James not leaving has scuppered us really - hopefully someone offers a few quid to take him off our hands.

Can't see it happening this late in the window

 

[bluesb1970]

The fact Porto don't want the greatest player in der werld as part of the deal speaks volumes about how James is viewed as a player outside of a section of our gushing fanbase.

Or speaks volumes about whether they can afford his wages.

It's probably further down the line than is let on.

Players begging him to stay is always a sign he's on his way out.

Don't forget the reliable journos are the ones saying this is close.

The famously unreliable Portuguese press are the ones saying otherwise.

This could happen. Let's see.

 

[Paulie]

Is Diaz a left winger?

I'd have thought a right winger was needed more.

PSG fart arsing with Kean scuppered us, not James

 

[blulouie]

More bad news by the looks of it. Strongly suspect this is the classic Everton phantom bid territory so we don't lose our minds at a deadline day loan for Dan James and frantic bid for Lingard.

Doesn't look like they ever really had any planning in place and, if not a phantom bid, the club are just chancing their arm at the end of the window.View attachment 137268View attachment 137269

That is nothing whatsoever that anyone who has a modicum of football knowledge doesnt already know.

That Pipe fella chats crap.

PSG don't want Kean and never have, he was there last season as injury cover, they don't need him this season.

They cant afford him.

Hence they want us to pay his wages.

 

[ToffeeTim]

No source that I see as reliable has given a further update yet, so we don't know what is happenning. It could be off, or it could already be sorted. We will know in 48 hours or so.

No because they are damn near up the creek and need money.

well, that was the narrative pushed by people - we need to sell Kean to get funds - that hasnt happened. Although you are right that they didnt want him.

I dont think James was ever considered seriously as an 'out' - its only emerged since the Kean debacle.

Oh we need to sell Kean no doubt but I think James was always gone once Carlo left. I get that there is clearly an issue with him and Benitez but the majority of managers are not going to indulge him the way that Carlo clearly did, also I think people forget the role of Mendes in this. It was'nt long after Carlo left that stories surfaced of Mendes offering James to Milan, it's just another way for him to make money.
