How did Barca react when Neymar said he wanted to go to PSG?
Would never get that offer for him again, wasn't happy....
You're therefore ok with him leaving?

True. SPORT are huge fans of Angel Di Maria, when I'm 100% convinced there is absolute no interest by Barcelona in signing him. Who's next? Fabio Coentrao? The retired Xabi Alonso? Pepe? Players with no love for the club.

They don't want to/don't need the money?
MD are fans of Bartomeu. And Bartomeu is feeling his chair rocking. Di Maria is Argentinian and would be a tool for Bartomeu to appease Messi (who is yet to sign a contract).

But if the player want to leave badly you MUST let him go..... IF you reach an offer like that (160 mln).
You can't force a player to stay despite his will.
It's against sports ethics.

Well the suggestion is that we are still wanting to pay for him over 5 years so €30 million a year ...

I can like it or not but that's irrelevant. I would never force a player to stay if he want's to leave even more if the price is 160 mil! For me it's just stupid to keep unsatisfied player, if he stays he will probably lose motivation and perform much worse than last year and the price will drop.
IMHO selling him is the best solution for them right now, basically it's win win situation for both Barca and Liverpool and that's why I believe this will happen. I am not saying that because I am a Barca fan, I am saying that because it makes sense from the business side of the deal. I may be wrong but no one can assure me that unsatisfied player can be a great player for his team.
I don't know if you agree with me but I would rather have hugely motivated Lemar + 60 mil in cash than unmotivated Coutinho in my team.

Do they need troubled and unsatisfied player and a "mark" of a Club that was not willing to sell the player who wanted to leave even for double of his worth? How will that affect future deals with players that will consider coming to LPool? Oh, wait, yes, I will go there where they don't care shit about my desires even when they get a shitload of money?
Interests of the Club are sometimes more than sending a message to Fans... we are great and don't sell cause we promise trophies. That is a realy nice fairytale. Reality will be something like: we want to sign new superstars but they don't want to come cause we don't care shit what they want at the moment we "capture" them
I see.

so you were happy for Neymar to leave?
Seriously, this is a player that started a five year contract 7 weeks ago..... it's hardly like he's being held captive is it?

Robert clearly stated they will not sign Seri, but when asked about Di Maria he answered in a different way. So it seems they really have interest in signing him.
7 weeks ago? It was signed in january.

It doesn't matter that I am happy or not.
I'm not happy with Neymar's departure but the football market works in this way and this is valid for every player and every club.

Form the press, it seem clear that whilst it was signed in January, it began on the 1st July. (Probably 8 weeks now to be fair.)
