And blow £70m.
Could be nearer £80m by the time they get back to Catalonia.

Do you reckon there'll be a second meeting in Barcelona in return, so that Ayre can go to the beach and do some sightseeing?

Well, yeah, they'll probably pick up the bar tab.
I think Ayre needs to say Sanchez has to be part of the deal or **** off.
If we end up with say £75mil - who the **** are we going to buy?
Sanchez to Arsenal is just rumours at present - get Rodgers over there to talk to Barca and Sanchez FFS. Ayre is a nob head in situations like this.
From what I understand, and its difficult trying to sort the rumours from the BS, Sanchez wants to go to Arsenal and NOT Liverpool, but Barca would prefer him to go to Liverpool as a make weight in the Suarez deal because ultimately Liverpool are offering more money for him (ie more money off Suarez than Arsenal are willing to pay them), but the kink in the plan is Sanchez himself, who apparantly is adamant he wants to play in London.
So I guess its a question of whether Barca and Liverpool can convince Sanchez that Liverpool is the place to go.
London is great and all but playing for Arsenal is a step backwards for him, same it was for Ozil. People can see what Liverpool are trying to build.
I wouldnt put Liverpool on any higher plinth than Arsenal to be honest mate, just my opinion.
Arsenal if anything would be higher, they have been harder to remove from the top 4 than genital warts, they make it every year.
Liverpool have risen from midtable to the CL last season, but without your talisman, its a big question mark as to whether you will remain imo.
Arsenal will be there, as they are, every year. And they have won a trophy more recently too.
You have a point, I think some players will want to be more confidant that we can easily acheive top four or more every year before wanting to come to us, some players will know about Liverpool and understand the club more and choose us over Arsenal but some will look at recent history and think that Arsenal would be the better move.
If the rumours are true about Sanchez I'd rather us look elsewhere, we want players that have a desire to play for us.
alright dave
glad to see you lurking about, hope you are on the mend.

we all do , but we don't want more squad players or another Torres money situation, we will be losing a world class player, we replace that with average players just because they want to play for us, sorry not good enough.
Sanchez is a blind. He's not that good in the first place - merely a make-weight that we don not really need.
Now the real deal is not being done by Ayre and the lads from Barca. The deal makers or breakers ore JH and the Pres. of Barca. Both have too much personal investment in the deal to really let the 2nd tier loose with this.
So forget Sanchez concentrate upon how close LFC get to the buyout figure. Then pray that we spend the income wisely!
