so what do the press want us to think we know?

Barcelona have good men, the best of men working on deals

they flew to Liverpool.... or... dortmund.... or nowhere..

they bid or didn't bid for one or two or even no players who may or may not have agreed a deal in advance.

am i missing anything?

Oh yeah rafinha is on offer to the first club to accept a bid of 50% the value of their player. He will only cost double whatever barca pay for a player.

All those air miles. They'll be able to afford free flights to Brazil next year and cut out the middle man <ok>

That depends if they flew premium on these travels or not. These airlines given out airline per pound spent not by distance now. I presume the short notice meant it was cheaper to fly first class charter than ryanair
 
I don't think he's feeling very blue at the moment. I've always rated him as you know but he's at a point in his career where he will go one way or the other and it would be an unpredictable signing and we don't need that.
I can't see past Rafinha, he's available and is the right age. Barca would also jump at the chance of reducing the transfer fee and their wage bill all in one go.

£100M plus Rafinha would be a great deal.
We are more likely to get 100 for courts and then pay 80 for rafinha :(

I can see it now, the entire delegation from Barca squeezed onto an easyJet flight, running through the finer details of Ford's £120m deal while Wayne, returning from his Eurocamp holiday, clutching a straw donkey and a bottle of duty free vodka, separates them because they didn't book their seats in advance.....
 
He won't panic buy is all I can say so we won't end up with a Carroll but his lack of nouse on the VVD tapping up saga completely took me by surprise. Did we ever find out who leaked the approach btw?
Asked on what VVd said in his statement I would say he told club hierarchy knowing this is normal and they took it to press to play the game

Random seating baby....
 
Just seen this. Looks like a verbal deal was agreed but Everton tried to re negotiate.

Yep, sounds like we've been a bit cheeky at the death after agreeing a fee verbally ffs. This being leaked is obviously an attempt to push us into a long awaited conclusion to this saga. If that piece is right (and they seemed convinced which tells me it's come from Swansea) then the difference is £5m

Sounds like could have been Liverpool, you been watching us too much Tobes <laugh>
