Suarez sold for 'only' £65m?

A quote from the Barca President says we asked for £72m and they settled at £65M

65 up front and 10 in add ons?

If there's one team in the world that has credibility when it comes to transfer fees, it's definitely Barcelona.

Remind me again, how much did Barcelona pay for Neymar?

 

[RolandG]

Barca are on the same level of Real when it comes to tapping up players and lying over fees.

 

[Hansern]

I'll trust the Echo and the Times over Barca and believe it was 75 mill.
They lied about Neymars fee aswell..

Was about to create a thread on Barca but I suppose this thread is good enough.

So, their transfer ban is upheld. But, this was AFTER they signed two CB, two keepers (Ter Stegen & Bravo), Rakitic and Suarez. LOL.

Remind me again, how much did Barcelona pay for Neymar?

I think it was 14 million and a bag of crisps.

I think it was 14 million and a bag of crisps.

That means nothing without knowing the flavour. Devil is in the detail.

Who gives a flying fuck!!

£10m less in the kitty for a replacement..... Me!

 

[the count]

It is probably somewhere in the middle between the two reported figures. But does it really at this stage?

The 6/7 good players brought in have definitely strengthened the squad. The media seems to think your big money signings for the season are done and mainly linking ye to getting a striker on loan than a purchase

From the club who spent a combined 30M on Vermaelen and Alex Song, it's a bit rich to be talking about value for money transfer deals.
