"It's complicated"? -- No it isn't, fuck off Barca - £113 Million bid rejected

Im so confused now.
£114m plus add ons is STUPID money.

Like i get the idea of being strong, but when does that become cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Hes not THAT good!! Hes a 50m player
I agree, but In this market he could be worth triple that...
 
Thats what I mean im confused.
Like if we could line up say
Keita, VVD, Meyer, Draxler and Goretzka (or equivalent ballers) now and bring them all in and he goes and covers 50% of the outlay then we would be mad not to.

But that's so utterly unlikely it's off the scale altogether.
 
His comment was offensive and highly inappropriate.. Proably to be fair not well thought out.. The point of my post was he seemed to ask what's inappropriate.. like duh!!!

That's not being out of order at all..
So warning a poster for a comment akin to a thousand other poor taste comments PER DAY is ok and then posting your scolding in this thread is ok is it?
Its a cunts trick. This isnt Das Experiment.
Sheik pulled him on it immediately and he said fair enough. Thats the fucking grown up way we deal with things round here not warning and than showing everyone whos in charge.
Behave your fucking self.
 
Double it... Double it... Double it..

£118m is getting near the figure. However we ain't replacing him this window so needs to be £150m before i'd be all ok then.
 
But that's so utterly unlikely it's off the scale altogether.
So w have to keep him then. No doubt.

My only thinking is if we had Keita and VVD tied up as unlikely as that looks then we got £114 mill for philco and invested that tootsuite we would actually be a much stronger side.

The rejection would suggest we havnt a chance of signing anyone

I sent him the warning in wake of sheiks comment.. Its got nothing to do with who showing who is in charge. I was trying to crack a joke over...


Ah forget it..

Yeah but you know that we're not. If we had those types of replacements lined up he'd be gone already. But we're not getting anyone it looks like so we need to keep coutinho.

Barca put a value of £220m on Neymar (which was a ridiculous price) so given that metric Coutinho should be worth at least £140m (which is an equally ridiculous price).
 
With £114m (plus left over funds) we could get Lemar, Lucas Moura, Aubameyang, Tierney and Gibson

Even if we don't Gibson we will murder teams by winning games 7 - 6

He stays til the President shouts you're fired. Period.
 
I'm still forlornly pinning my hopes on £90m + Rakatic and then we also seal the VVD and Keita deals. Salah, VVD, Keita and Rakatic for an outlay of about £75m (plus losing Coutinho) would IMO give us a major chance of major silverware. I'm a fool unto myself......it's the hope that kills you.
 
No use having the money if you can't negotiate deals.

Aha. Maybe we want to sell him but we just can't negotiate the deal to get him off. And in the mean time Barca gets more desperate and throws more Money into the deal, which confuses Edwards even more, cause he is trying to get around the terms&condition pages in the book.

That's exactly it..

Though, that being said surely we could go to Leipzig and say, 80 million for keita. They can't say no to that.. Surely?

On the grand scheme of things we would of oversold Coutinho so overbuy Keita..

No??

Rakatic at 29 coming to our league? He's already started to decline and then he'll need time to get used to our league. No thanks.

Admittedly I didn't see him at all last season but prior to that I have always been very impressed.
