Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted December 8, 2021 Subscriber Posted December 8, 2021 Hands off! I will, however, give you 3 questions… •Are you shocked he’s the best striker in the Championship? •Who do you think he will leave us for? •Why do you fancy him?

This thread is about Ben Brereton, not Aleksandr Mitrovic? •Who do you think he will leave us for? A mid-table PL club. Southampton usually buy well from the Championship. Possibly Villa. Brighton perhaps. If we didn't have Daka/Kelechi I'd definitely be interested. Everton?
Lucas Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 We have been linked but I can tell you now, not for £30m Blackburn are quoting. No chance. Adam Armstrong went for half that after a fantastic season last year and it would be fair to say he's still adjusting at Saints. No way BBD is worth double Adam Armstrong, no way. Completely get Blackburn wouldn't want to lose their best asset cheap given they are chasing promotion but I'd only go £20m tops, and even then I'd feel a little robbed.

Don't complain.

If we had sold Toney last Summer he’d have gone for £30m+ easy. I think the issue Blackburn had with Armstrong was that he had 1 year left on his contract at time of sale, so take just under £20m in the Summer or lose him on a free. Brereton Diaz has scored 20 goals so far and there’s 20 games left to play, no reason why he can’t hit 30 goals and on top of that he’s only 22. Take into account he’s a national hero in Chile with all of the above and I’d say £30m is about right. Just comes down to how he fits into your team and if your coaches believe they can get goals out of him in the Prem in your system.

BBD is out of contract at the end of the season, although Blackburn can extend this by one year. So he will be in the exact same boat as Adam Armstrong was with a year left. IMO, no way should we pay £30m for someone who has only proven himself for one season (albeit what a season for him) with essentially a year left. Maybe if he had another season of goals behind him I'd be more warm to that idea but for me its a gamble we shouldn't take yet. I totally get his market value is up due to his heroics with Chile but we need to be real, it would be a big risk IMO and not one I'd be comfortable with. Common sense should prevail but having paid £25m for Dan James, I never know with us.

If he has longer on his contract then it's £25m-£30m and that's the price....but it's only the price if you have the leverage to turn down bids and potentially keep him another year a bit like we did with Benrahma.
Dave Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 There's no way Blackburn will want to sell given the opportunity that's in front of them. In the summer though I expect him to go for anywhere between 15m - 22m.

His contract expires in the summer, however we have an option for a further year which i'm assuming we will activate if we can't agree terms with him.
Administrator Stan Posted January 28, 2022 Administrator Posted January 28, 2022 Scored a very good header last night for Chile
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted August 16, 2022 Author Subscriber Posted August 16, 2022 10 million is laughable but his contract is up at the end of the season. We need to sign him up ffs.
Spike Posted August 16, 2022 Posted August 16, 2022 I like how his name actually isn’t Diaz. It’s his mother’s maiden name and he just chucked it on the end so Chileans would accept him faster. And he was capped because of Football Manager

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted August 31, 2022 Author Subscriber Posted August 31, 2022 I really hope he doesn’t leave. We can’t replace him and I’d rather lose him for free at the end of the season.

Without him I cannot see us even making the playoffs. With him we have a much better chance and then big if but if we do have a chance he may end up staying for a chance in the PL with us. No brainier for me. Worth the risk, to lose him on a free. We aren’t going to replace him with one day left. Big 24 hours ahead.
