It really highlights their current plight when we struggle to think of players who are attractive options for us. Those clubs where our targets are from will probably wait and see if and how much we sell Coutinho for before trying to fleece us.

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.
Of the realistic ones, Sergi Roberto may be the only interesting one. But his progress was really stunted by being the previous regimes' lack of focus in grooming La Masia graduates and his versatility.You look at the current Barca team and yeah their team is obviously still a lot better than ours but not many exciting players.

I dont have any faith in us periodDo you have any faith in us tying up deals for them?
If those add ons include winning the La Liga and CL, then they are as good as non-existent.
Piss taking cunts
If we're even to consider a bid it has to be cash upfront. No add ons, and a bid of 150 mill £. They're desperate and got the money.
Keita, VVD and, after Tuesdays game, we could look at Demirbay. I was very impressed and he could be exactly what we need.
The idea of Rakitic is decent, but close to 30 and probably on high wages. Could be a good short term solution though.
Especially so as there was plenty of chat about Barca insisting that the entirety of the released clause was paid in full , upfront !They're cheeky cunts.
We KNOW they got 220m cash upfront a couple of weeks ago.
As such, why the fuck would any club take a deal that is made of almost a third addons as opposed to cash upfront.
Double fuck you Barca.
I'd sell him, grab a couple of worldies to replace him.... Then smash Hoff and get Barca in the champ league
My inner Keegan is saying 'id love it'
How did that work out for Keegan ?I'd sell him, grab a couple of worldies to replace him.... Then smash Hoff and get Barca in the champ league

I only saw Rakitic play twice last season and wasnt that impressed. I have not seen enough but I think I would go for someone younger - Meyer perhaps?
Oh here he is. The grim reaperAccept surely???
Oh here he is. The grim reaper
Is it really true that Barca offered 80mill with add-ons. The main add on was that if he wins the Ballon D'or they'll pay the extra 30mill or something! I swear I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Cheeky cunts. Maybe we should do the same with VVD? 30Mill + an Extra 40mill if he wins the Ballon D'or or wins the world cup with a worldy in the final.
