I do hope that Barcelona do not rate him and think he is not good enough. But I'm afraid you are wrong. They will not give up until they realise that nothing short of around £90m - £100m would get the player. That means that Neymar will have to be sold before that happens.

I believe that once Neymar is sold (if this indeed happens) they will come up with the asking price. Yes, I think FSG have a price in mind!


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.

FFS - Barca to report PSG for 'tapping up'. Are we the weakest link in this food chain or what?

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.

The Top Five all do, as does the seventh placed team.
