When you know Barcelona is going to receive more than double of that amount when they sell Neymar it makes sense Liverpool is trying to squeeze a bit more out of this.Tweet

No, says a 'top english club 'Spurs maybe.
£25m for Keane is a really good price.you get nothing for 35m this year
So far:
Ederson - average GK
Keane 25m
Pickford - 25m
Arnautovic - 20m
Ake - 20m
vitolo -31m
United signed Matic for £35m (plus £5m add-ons) ... isn't dismissing him as "nothing" is a bit harsh?you get nothing for 35m this year ...
I think you missed my point (people were slating Matic saying we should buy world class youngster for 35m instead of Matic)You signed Matic for £35m (plus £5m add-ons) ... isn't dismissing him as "nothing" is a bit harsh?
Yeah, every bit of news that comes in it sounds more reasonable.3 years plus 1 is verh sensible as well for a 29 year old.Tweet

Just regarding the fee, seems to be £35m up front with a further £5m in potential addons. About as good a deal as you could get for any 1st XI Chelsea player imo
Very harsh considering he's won two league titles which equals what the runners up from last season have achieved in their entire history.United signed Matic for £35m (plus £5m add-ons) ... isn't dismissing him as "nothing" is a bit harsh?
Matic is a past it has been Chelsea reject?Im not saying Keane is a bad buy, just that people complaining about buying Matic for 35m because we should be getting world class talent for 35m, not a past it has been Chelsea reject. Just pointing out that 35m doesnt buy you much, as good as Keane is, he is hardly a world class talent
This is the player we really should be After.Tweet

Yeah after Messi and RonaldoThis is the player we really should be After.
200m is obviously a decent bit of coin by anyone's reckoning, but if Barca are looking at shelling 100m odd on Coutinho and 60/70m on Dembele, wouldn't they be better off just keeping Neymar?Tweet

Coutinho and Dembele for Neymar is a cracking deal.200m is obviously a decent bit of coin by anyone's reckoning, but if Barca are looking at shelling 100m odd on Coutinho and 60/70m on Dembele, wouldn't they be better off just keeping Neymar?
This is gonna be really sad if he ends up there because he will be as good as Neymar in a couple years. The guy is a gem. Neymar for Coutinho and Dembele is really good business for BarcaTweet

Barca ends up stronger with coutinho and Dembele imo.200m is obviously a decent bit of coin by anyone's reckoning, but if Barca are looking at shelling 100m odd on Coutinho and 60/70m on Dembele, wouldn't they be better off just keeping Neymar?
Difference is Neymar wants to leave200m is obviously a decent bit of coin by anyone's reckoning, but if Barca are looking at shelling 100m odd on Coutinho and 60/70m on Dembele, wouldn't they be better off just keeping Neymar?
Having Messi and Suarez in a 4-3-3, they can't play both though, can they? So it would be one starting, another on the bench, Dembele starting more often imho.Barca ends up stronger with coutinho and Dembele imo.
One of our ownDecent player, but he is no Matic
Where did you get that?If Neymar goes they will be far more persistant and public about aquiring him and the fact is Barca will have a need and if he doesn't fill it this season they will fill it with another and he will not be wanted next year by them. They have already lined up Veratti for Iniesta next season, on the cheap too... Wonder could they up the stakes on Mbappe.
I'd say they have his team well informed of this too. SO it all hinges on Neymar.
Signing their own player?
But out clause200m is obviously a decent bit of coin by anyone's reckoning, but if Barca are looking at shelling 100m odd on Coutinho and 60/70m on Dembele, wouldn't they be better off just keeping Neymar?
Well, both Moratta and Matic now sold.Di Maria was dog shite and couldn't knuckle down any spot he was put in. Quite often he was given a go on the wing and couldn't complete 5 yard passes. Best saved for a di Marian thread, but my point is he was shite regardless of position.
Your examples are a bit bizzare. Deubachy was the only right back cover for Arsene and as such was required as a fall back. Morata was vital to Reals league success, he won most points for any club behind Leo Messi. Again, they would rather not sell him as he's an important player for them.
Chelsea will come around and do business if it comes to it, I don't see it happening this summer. They've had direct title rivals strengthened by seeing a top target stolen from under their nose. They will hold on to a good player to avoid strengthening them further.
Got to agree with this, the whole Lukaku and Matic thing was media nonsense. Lukaku said he knew months ago where he was going, so Chelsea had no reason to have grievance with us anyway.Well, both Moratta and Matic now sold.
Told you that the Lukaku deal doesn't in any way mean Chelsea won't sell us Matic.
Clubs deal in a professional way. Not like kids who won't offer their candies if you don't share yours with them. Strengthening a direct rival is the only reason Chelsea would have refused but given that Matic only wanted to join us means they had to sell to us.
As for moratta, he was always going to be sold this summer.
Because I imagine the whole concept was meant to be a means to improve the national team and get more English players playing PL football. That such a rule can exclude an English man playing for the national team means the purpose is defeated in this instance.How is it ridiculous that Dier isn't considered homegrown ?

Asked n Answered, Already!Where did you get that?
They are not getting Veratti. PSG will simply refuse to do business with them like they have done all along.

Perisic won't move anywhere if Inter won't get 50m €.
Haven't watched Aurier at all, so no clue how he is, etc. Isn't he a RB?Tweet

Delaney asked if there is any truth in Aurier transfer.

But even if we had stolen him from under their noses, it's business, every club knows that every other club is going to target the players that they think best suit them. Sometimes, and quite often for similar level clubs, these targets will overlap. That's life, some you win, some you lose.
They're business men in charge of football clubs, not kids getting angry because their best friend chose someone else over them.
