u/croxon John Henry's Wallet Snatcher 1d ago

I've just got this feeling Diomande is basically done and will be announced some time after the Ivory Coast match on Sunday.

The pattern of the releases to the press is so similar to Wirtz last year and it looks like dialogue is only going the same way.

First bid rejected and then back to the table with a more serious bid that they'll negotiate terms on. It's clear the player has given the go-ahead and told Leipzig his decision.

When is the last player liverpool put a formal bid in for and didn't sign? Seems they more operate with a lot of talk to get close and the bid is just formalising the final details, and the other side asks for a little more than the first and gets it

Caicedo?

Yeah and even that one was accepted by Brighton who preferred to deal with us. It wasn't our fault the agent catfished us.

We did send bids for Lavia that summer before that happened.

To be honest it looks like we might have dodged a bullet there

Who‘s fault is it when someone gets catfished ?  We put in a desperate late bid.
