No chance of Mascherano staying

[Squiggles]

If true, Hleb + £15M is a fucking awful deal.

 

[red_maradona]

if true, hleb +15m euros(£13m) seems a poor deal, at best hleb is probably worth around £7m which makes this deal around 5m worse than it should be at the very least - we are dealing with the best dm in the world, the captain of argentina, we should be screwing barca for every penny,

 

[plates]

I agree.. bojan would have been nice!

 

[doctor_mac]

If this is true we have once again been bum-raped by a Spanish giant. Which is never good.

Still, Hleb is a midfielder I always liked, very slick passer, and it will lesson Lucas's chances of being first pick in CM this season.

 

[Avmenon]

Hope its not true.

 

[RolandG]

Barca raped us! We been had. Feels like a heist!

 

[manwithnoname]

Hleb is worth about 7-8m, tops

He's also a player who can flatter to deceive: I remember one game he played for the Arse against maybe United and he was amazing; elsuive, skilful, and impossible to stop.

And then I saw his stats for the season: about three goals and 5 assists

No end product

And we already have Joe Cole

Its a pain in the arse flicking through this from my phone. Is this actually happening or speculation?

Thanks.

Yeah that's ok too. It's not that bad. A bit more flair can't hurt and Hodgson may get the best out of him, if it's true that is.

 

[Squiggles]

------------Torres---------
Hleb---------------------Kuyt----
-------Gerrard---Cole--------
------------Poulsen--------

Perhaps Cole is going to play centrally with Gerrard after all?

Either way, we'll have a lots of creative options, but not many footballers you would back to score 12 goals+

 

[manwithnoname]

What do Barca want himf for? Busquets seemed to be doing a decent DM job, they don't have any issue with conceding goals, plus they want to buy Fabregas next year

Seems a bit odd

 

[reuque]

Can only hope Roy's 'magic man management' can make Hleb live up to maximum potential. sigh*

 

[Paddy]

Fuck knows. Maybe it's all bull and he will still join Inter.

 

[Oncy]

Yikes. 15m less the 2m we've paid for poulsen doesn't leave much for a LB and a CF.
We need to offload Babel really if that's the case. I wish we'd taken Birminghams 12m in January......actually I don't, Rafa would have wasted it.

 

[Oncy]

Ps-I believe this to be horshit. Swap deals almost never happen.

That's madness Neil. You have some really dumb ideas you know that?

I'm not saying that's what we should do, I'm saying that's what will happen if we don't get rid now.

A man of, er, specialised tastes, I see. 😉

 

[spider-Neil]

I simple refuse to believe that story. £15m plus helb for (argubly) the best defensive midfielder in the world, who is captain of argentina and is in his early 20's and has two years left on his contract? fuck off, that story 'HAS' to be bullshit or the men in charge of our sales are fucking clueless.

This is the most important part... we need a new centre forward desperately...

it's going to be Crouch according to Paul DeCamp on twitter.

 

[eecheerow]

And on another note (provided this is all true, etc) it looks like Kuyt will get more time up front than he did last season.

€15m + Hleb isn't a good deal. £20m + Hleb would be about right.

Hleb is a classy player but he had a habit of doing everything bar put it in the net. Odd move for us IF true.

 

[keniget]

That can't be true.

We don't really need Hleb (unless someone is getting sold) and he's not worth anything like the sort of money that would bump up 15m euros to Mashers market value.

 

[Rosco]

Apparently the Balotelli deal to City will be announced tomorrow, if that's the case Barcelona have some competition for his signature and we've got ourselves an auction.

 

[Portly]

Hleb is a classy player but he is too weedy to survive in the Premier League, as he proved conclusively during his Arsenal years. I really don't think we should have any midfielders palmed off on to us.

 

[spider-Neil]

take the milan money and push the boot out for defour

 

[Stulikesdrums]

We have Poulson now Spider. LB and CF are more pressing than Cm right now.
