This is gonna be bad. I feel like we won't get shit this summer, neither Coutinho or Dembele are comming. Why would they sell to us? We will get Seri for 40m and gonna sit with Deulofeu on the wing, its looking really sad for us.

Good God, the amount of pessimism here is astonishing. Relax guys, 100m+ deals don t happen in few days. Neymar saga was over
just a week ago..

Its Veratti all over again. Chasing players that their clubs have no interest or obligation in selling.

Both are young, on long term contracts, are central to their clubs plans, and have no buy-out clauses.

We are wasting our time, unless we want to pay over 100m for each, and neither of them would have been worth more than 50m before everything went crazy.

The last thing we need now is panic signings from Bartomeu if Coutinho and Dembele fall through. The quality of our players beyond the starting 11 is so weak compared to our main competitors that any new addition to the team this summer really needs to make sense and have a clear reason for coming. We can't afford to continue bleeding squad quality by getting more middling players, as happened too much under Lucho. There is a time and a place for those kind of high risk signings, and this summer is not it.

It doesn't help our negotiating position that everyone know we suddenly have 220m cash laying around after selling Neymar either. Any quality player we sign will not come cheap. For instance, the prices being kicked around for Dembele should be utterly outrageous, but that's what happens when everyone know we desperately need players and have a Scrooge McDuck pool of money ready spend.

He's going to have to hand in a transfer request. Doesn't look like there will be any way around it.

Liverpool are unlikely to win anything major this year and Barcelona wont come again next year.

If he truly wants it, he's going to have to force it. If not, enjoy PSG next year.

The sad thing for me is that it looks as though we are NOT going to get Couthinho this summer ...

I've watched Couthinho for years now and Barca for decades and this guy is the most obvious fit for our team !!

It's not even a risk given that he's got a proven record playing with Suarez and anyone can link up with Messi ..


I'm seriously worried for our future if we fail to land this guy .

That's why we need to move heaven and earth to get him. Even if we spend around 140m on him we would be within reason to do so. Of course the fee is absurd but the Neymar money allows us some latitude to address our needs urgently.

Oh but you will come again next year which is why neither us or the coutinho camp believe the now or never ultimatum.

Can't see it happening mate, I think it's this summer for us or PSG for sure next year (unless they get transfer banned or something).

News update for you:-


'Unless Barca offer £130m up front (they won't) he stays. If they do (they won't) he goes.'
