The arrogance of Real Madrid

They'll need a fucking massive chequebook for that. We've every right to demand Bale sort of money if they want him. And if he has a decent world cup.
What we'd do with 80million mind I've no idea.
 
Everyone thought the Ronaldo fee was obscene, the bastards made it up within 3 months of shirt sales
 
100M Pounds is a starting point and does not guarantee a conversation. So far Suarez seems intent on staying which is great for us. If we sell, demand the full amount in one lump sum cash payment 😉
 
Everyone is saying 80 and a 100m but I have a feeling that he negotiated a sell on clause with a significantly lower figure.

This is my fear, his buyout maybe £90m for premier league teams but only £70m to foreign clubs

Surely you mean TRY and sign them.

I actually quite dislike Real Madrid but I don't really see the point in getting annoyed about a supposed lack of respect here (particularly when it's based on language used in an article written by a third party).

We are arrogant enough to assume that players like Lallana would jump ship to join us and Real Madrid are arrogant enough to assume that players like Suarez would probably jump ship to join them. The arrogance in both cases is warranted.

The only thing that sucks about it is that we're a couple rungs below Real Madrid in the order of things but then Southampton and clubs like them are probably thinking the same about us.

Good points. Well made. And I'm not even being facetious.
 
I only got this far

Does his dentist just climb in or what?
 
Fuck Madrid. Fuck them up the bum with a rusty razor.

Do not sell Suarez ... not now. If he wants to go after we win the treble next year, fine.
 
This & the Utd bid story came out a few days ago.

I'd be amazed if someone doesn't try it on.

Spanish reporters all seem to think that the release clause is 65m. Very low if so, & hard to see someone not testing it out.
 
Cant be right that. Most stories seemed to say two different clauses with and without CL footy.
Suarez himself said there isnt a clause though;

He signed a £200,000-a-week deal before Christmas but dismissed the notion that the fine detail stipulates a buy-out clause that is applicable to either of the Spanish giants.

"As far as I'm aware there is no clause that suggests a priority for any team," he said. "My head now is focused on the World Cup. Everyone knows there will be media speculation this summer as there always is but I have a contract with Liverpool.


Dont think he'll leave regardless.
 
If Madrid come in with a big bid, he'll go, if we are happy to let him leave.
 
On the money side, the former Ajax man would not come cheap. He only extended his Liverpool contract earlier this season and Madrid made a rod for their own back last summer with the world record 85 million pounds fee for Bale. A fee of between 50-60 million pounds has been muted for Suarez, but Perez would have to part with more cash than that to get his man - though, relatively, he'd be worth it.

Another splurge on one player will come in for criticism in such bad economic times in Spain, and around the world, but Suarez is a player who is highly marketable and who could well pay for himself in the long run. Perez and Madrid are smart in the commercial world and how much a player is worth commercially, as well as on the pitch, is always considered.

Madrid topped football's 'rich list' last year with total revenue of $702 million, despite winning no trophies, and that is only expected to rise given Bale's explosive arrival and winning the Champions League. Suarez's arrival would only boost that further, too.
