Talk that we've increased our offer for Diaby to £43m with the Saudi club matching it.

The Saudi offer was €43m including all add-ons.

The first one was. We're supposed to have gone back in with a €50m offer, which they then matched.

Do the H and V moderators here get paid? Or did they all go to Saudi Arabia too?
Perhaps they can step in here if not and steer this back to Transfer News as the talk is a major money move by our beloved club is to be done and discussion is getting lost

Diaby! And Bailey ! Back together again!

No they don't (as far as I'm aware). And, have you seen the last 10 or so (long-format) pages?? - there were ample opportunities for the thread to be 'brought home' but that's not the way it works around here (as you should well know by now).

Heretical  and blasphemous posts on here are totally unacceptable. I am with Hooky and Footy, rest of you will burn in hell.

I'm wondering why they aren't using their power to do something.
I respect them and know they are very good people so hope they can heat people request and keep things to transfer I was surprised to see it being disregarded when it's clear for all to see.
I'm having a break as people and will hope for Diaby to be signed which will take us back on topic!
I didn't mean to sound rude to the moderators but people are asking for things to stop.
And no I have several devices and sometimes type quicker than other times!

If there’s one thing that annoys more people than off-topic posts it’s you. So pipe down.
I'm on break till we sign someone so I will leave.
And thanks for trying to make me feel bad.

I’ve annoyed plenty of people on here. It’s fine. We’re civilised. Nothing happens.

This is taking a turn I didn't expect.

I'm guessing you'll be back in less than 24 hours footy.

Not having a go, just predicting we'll sign someone.

In a few weeks time, trying to pick our starting X1 for our first league match will get us back on the 'football' track.

I can only think of 3 guaranteed starters and that could be reduced with another quality transfer or two.

What the hell has this got to do with how awful Saudi Arabia is?!  Stay on topic!

Sheik kebab for me. Actually I like a nargis kebab but that’s off topic.

I think if I've followed the thread correctly, we're signing Mohammed bin Salman and Ron DeSantis.

Footy did say we should expect some American signings now that Chris Heck is at B6.
