Luis Diaz

This has got all of the levy trademark transfer written all over it ....

Identify player that coach wants and would get the fans excited ... check

Lowball the fudge out of the club, which will get rejected ... check

Leak to the media that we have made an offer ... check

Secretly hoping that we get out bid ... check

Cute statement of trying our best to be competitive but in reality cannot compete with any mid team club from any league when it comes to making swift transfers.
 
Pretty sure that’s how it has to work for us as an English club

What do you mean? The only difference between us and any other country is over image rights. This is due to the deal hmrc and clubs made regarding how much image rights can be used for tax purposes (business tax rather than income tax). It's set at 15% of total wages. But the club has to own those rights. Although it might have existed prior due to the teves, mascherano saga.

As far as i'm aware the luiz deal is not about image rights. Guessing it's more a 20% sell on fee. By fifas rules it's up to porto who they sell to and how much for.

Thought it was 3rd party ownership

Fifa doesn't allow 3rd party ownership.

Banned in 2015.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_ownership_in_association_football#:~:text=In April 2015, FIFA announced,effect on 1 May 2015.

Image rights are basically doing work not on the football pitch. But still for the club. AIA want to use a picture of a player, or getir doing those ads on youtube. Merchandise etc...

Obviously players do stuff away from the club too. Boot deals, ads etc... think in other countries these can be owned by someone else (dybala). Not in the uk though.

As far as i'm aware though this isn't the case with diaz.

So the idea is that Levy is this sneaky machiavellian figure that repeatedly tries to trick fans (and the manager) into thinking that we're trying to sign players when we're actually not?

All along Levy is too stupid to understand that you see right through him and his fantastic plan is actually just causing more frustration rather than good will.

Interesting character this Levy figure.

Or perhaps ambitious transfer approaches are difficult to get done, but we try anyway.

So he's not a lier, just not any good at getting the job done? Whichever way you want to look at it, it doesn't leave a great impression.

Seems to be easy for most clubs? Care to explain all these easy transfers clubs at our level get done for a player of this standard? We are talking about a player who is known to have Liverpool and other top level European players interested in him. He and his agent know this, so it’s going to be a tough sell to get him to come here. None of the other top clubs interested in him have met his release clause as of yet, but of course we should just bend over and do so to appease some fans going through their bi annual bed wetting exercise when it comes to transfers. We aren’t Real Madrid who can just waltz in and pay top money, and use the stature of the club to tempt the player. We are the level below that, so to tempt players like Kessie and Diaz you are going to have to be very lucky and it’s certainly not a deal that’s just going to get done quickly. But it’s positive we are at least asking the question - of course Levy could just go for ‘budget’ players for an easier ride as we all know how well that goes down on hereo_O….
 
How would he fit in our starting 11, who would he replace?

I imagine it would be a slight change in formation. Either a narrow 5-2-3, as neither Son or Diaz would want to be wide right, or a 5-2-1-2 with Kane as a #10. I'd imagine the former though

No. That state-of-the-art training facility? That world-envied stadium? The effect it created in attracting world-class managers like Pochettino or Conte?

All bullschit and bafflegab. I'm sure when we walk inside the exterior framing, it'll look like the facades used for the town in Blazing Saddles:

No. You. And you alone. Have got this whole deal sorted out. Tell us what to think, O Mighty Man of The Muscle-Bound Avatar.
