FFS, if they get £195m for Neymar I should hope the conversation starts at £135m and that the least we'll take is £120m. Bewildered by the mood music from Barca this week - on the one hand, we have their president saying how much they 'respect' us; yeah, like you were crowing for all to hear that you'd only paid £65m for Luis, and that was on the never-never. Then they're leaking to Catalan papers that they 'fear' Liverpool will price Coutinho out of a deal. You can tell these people have dealt with FSG before, and it's a well rehearsed scenario that they're somehow doing us a favour. Well IF Ford puts in that request (the Mirror are saying he's going to plead with Jurgen that he wants a move - if only there was a specified process for asking for a transfer (that applies to VVD and Keita too)), we wait until Neymar is sold and then laugh at £80 -90m offers. Just what the **** is it about these Spanish giants making you think that they're doing you a favour by bidding for your players? They did it with Masch, and Real did it with Xabi and Owen. We're in a better financial position than they are now when it comes to liquidity. **** you, it's not a distressed sale like Masch (or even Luis) . If you can't keep up with PSG, we'll wait until next year, and if Ford has another good season they WILL pay £135m, or £100m worse case scenario. If FSG accept less and we don't spend that £90m, or whatever, we know where we stand; and that doesn't include the big ifs of getting Keita and/or VVD, as we'd already bid for them before this Luis thing flared up again. Edit: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...lona-eye-Dybala-Griezmann-replace-Neymar.html FFS - Barca to report PSG for 'tapping up'. Are we the weakest link in this food chain or what?
Looks like Matic in and Fellaini out at Utd. @Diego will be gutted to lose their best midfielder according to his stats
We only need people good in the air against teams that hit it high and long to the fast lads, most teams try to play football so we should be ok with that.
Yeah, they have the new long specialist coming from the best long ball team in the league now. Fellaini is redundant. Gunna miss those elbows
Incidentally found this training ground photo from when Mouronho was at Chelsea. The team practicing diving in the allotted 2 hr window each day. please log in to view this image
We're selling Moreno to the chicken farm so he can feel at home with all the other headless chickens.
