Diaz needs to develop, the last few games where he did well should not cloud our judgment on the weaknesses that he does have. He doesn't pass well enough, he gets bullied (though he tries), and he needs to turn his tricks into production. His skills are great for youtube highlights, but they do not result in enough danger.
Diaz has the talent to become a world-beater, but he needs to develop. If this was the Milan of the 90's or early 2000's (Nesta, Rui Costa time) then yeah, spend the money to grab a prospect we like. But it's not. I hope we can renew the loan with an option, as I'd like to see if he can grow, because I like him a lot as a player.
Bernardo Silva, oh my goodness, if we could get him? We won't. We can't.
I mean, he's no Kamada, but he's pretty good, lol. If we renew Hakan, and can't get Diaz, I'd take Kamada, as he does the winger-slash-midfielder crap that Hakan does, but unlike Hakan, he actually has some speed, and it seems he has flashier control.
It seems that versatility is the primary focus of our transfer efforts, Diaz, Kamada (I've decided he's one of our transfer targets), Dalot, Schouten, De Paul, etc and all the other names we've been linked with all seem to have the same characteristics: they are versatile.
I really want Bernardo Silva, man, that would be great.
