Agree with all of that except the very last word which, I suggest, should read "ringpiece".
Well, for those fees and given how they have now turned out, he may not have been far off the mark.Yeh, that was Ballague who said that. He also said Aspas and Alberto were astute signings.

Yeah, me too.. but I am not too fussed about it anymore to be honest.I doubt whether this saga is over just yet...
At some point, it ceases to be about money but about the club. As been already mentioned, we can't disrupt our season just because Barcelona us tardily run.What if they offered 160 million with 75% of that upfront with the rest over 5 years? I'd consider FSG idiots for not selling under those circumstances.
I don't for a second believe Barcelona would offer that ..but let's not kid ourselves , there's definitely a price that would wrap up the deal quick smart.
So far, the way Barcelona have conducted themselves seems to have all been designed to placate their support, rather than to actually get coutinho.
The money required to get a player to placate them, given his contract situation, I don't even think is worth it. I don't think they have it either. But does anyone look at barca and see a team that needs to replace the one piece of the puzzle they lost? They need to do a real rebuild.
So... We're not selling him, and Barca is fucking off. We Happy?
Yep big time.So... We're not selling him, and Barca is fucking off. We Happy?
It'll be like signing a £118m + add ons player

Barcelona are hardly a side that need to make ridiculous, doomed-to-failure attempts to sign players that aren't realistically likely to join them, to "placate" their fans.
They usually get who they want, and the media-led shithousery is a typical tactic, and typically works. As for them not having the money, don't make me fucking laugh
Hopefully we can get him on the bench on Wednesday and then in the team for Arsenal. Couple of goals and all this will be forgotten. For now.
Naaaaaaaaah, he will still have four years on his contract this time next year !Deffo off next summer. I'll appreciate him while he's here.
