A bid for Ousmaine Diakite

[soulman101]

A ?3.5m bid reported , from Saudi pro league club Al Quadsia

That’s a tricky one. I could see him really being at his best this season. Would 3.5 million get us a suitable replacement? Hard to say when often half a dozen clubs are chasing decent players.

Certainly a player with potential, who now has some knowledge of the Club. I hope that Mason’s opinion is sought.
Without the necessary knowledge of the current financial situation - I would keep him.

[Dubbag]

Take the money, if it is a real offer.

With bany out for a few weeks Diakite becomes even more important.

I think if a Saudi club want to spend ?3.5 M on an unproven player it should be taken and invest in some local home grown talent.
We have this one year window to scout out gems and build for the next three years.

Well thats the model now Dubbs. It might be best to not get too attached to any players now. Any could go in any window. We shouldnt be thinking of promotion. You cant get rid of assets and expect to challenge. New players have to bed in. Managers nightmare to never be sure of who your team is. Its worked for Brentford over time so long term we can be hopeful.

At least there will be no bids for Wallace - Mowatt - Dike - Furlong and Bartley!

Answers on a post card why not. In fact no club would be stupid enough to even take them on loan at their current salaries.
