Barca Transfers and Rumors

[DonAK]

De Gea had a year left on his contract which halves the price of a player and still RM offered 38m+12m signing on-fee.

They might have paid more than 40m for him if he had more years left.

Although only Madrid felt the need to do so because they absolutely want to have Spain's NT GK. Image thing too.

Oblak was noone, Bravo is World class.
17 mil. is nothing for City in this market

Yeah but you have to take into consideration the fact that the market prices have exploded the past years.

Arsenal paid 10M for Cech only last year.
One of the PL all time greatest GK moved to city rivals at same age in the most over priced league for 7M pounds less than Bravo. (the 17M figure is in pounds)
20M euros for a 33 years old GK is great price,sure it isn't the kind of deal that make you sell a player you want to keep.But if the decision already made that he will be sold then it is very good price

Naturally, if de Gea had a long contract, he would be much more expensive than the 50m euros they were willing to pay last summer.

Cech cost 14.5m euros and he demanded to leave. There is zero reason for us to weaken our team for these paltry sums of money. We wont be getting a proper replacement who is as good as Bravo.

For Manu they would have wanted more than 100M if they sold him and he had longer contract.
But no one was gonna pay that price,even RM was hesitant to pay 35M for him.he has 40M buyout this year according to dozen of reports that he didn't deny and they have passed on such chance this year. A sign that they don't value him for such a high price.and surely not over 50M

The thing is that in almost every occasion the deal could have been better.We let Alves go for free,while a half-decent board would sell him for at least 20M,considering his age.We even let guys like Sandro or the Verminator for free,while other clubs would have sold them for like 5-10M each.

If it was the other way around and we would like to buy City's #1 GK and the guy who won 2 Copa Americas in a row,then City would demand at least 25-30M,considering our situation(no GK,as Pep wants Hart gone) and even their situation(Bravo is old and there is the whole MATS-Bravo thing).

Cech cost 14.5m euros and he demanded to leave. There is zero reason for us to weaken our team for these paltry sums of money. We wont be getting a proper replacement who is as good as Bravo.

Except we have no idea whether Bravo is forcing no a move or not. And TS would be Bravo's replacement, while we would sign a replacement backup keeper.

RM were willing to pay 38m euros +12m signing on fee last summer when he had a year left on his contract. Everything was ready and the deal fell through in the last seconds.

10M pounds,Bravo rumored deal is 17M pounds. 7M difference.
And who said Bravo doesn't want to leave.
As I said,the figure isn't tempting for us to sell if we want to keep him. But if the rumor we are discussing is to be believed then I think we decided he should be sold.probably because he himself want to leave
I really doubt Bravo will ever be content for a second role until the next world cup.If MATS is gonna be the number one then there was also gr8 chance Bravo is asking to leave

 

[Jombi]

Except we have no idea whether Bravo is forcing no a move or not. And TS would be Bravo's replacement, while we would sign a replacement backup keeper.

So we substantially weaken our team as we wont be getting a replacement that is as good as Bravo. From Ter Stegen+Bravo to Ter Stegen+a worse goalie. Nothing gained by this.

Czech wasn't that good when he moved. 20 million is nothing for a world class gk that happens to be great starter for Barca.
And again, price means nothing to Shitty. Not to mention we'd be selling to our future cl rivals.

They weren't paying 50m for him. They were paying 35m. You can't add the sign-on-bonus to the transfer fee. That's ridiculous.

Do you need to exaggerate on the transfer fees all the time?

Still a bad deal all around. We are weakening our team and strengthening our rival for no gain whatsoever. Bad idea.

RM were willing to pay 38m euros +12m signing on fee last summer when he had a year left on his contract. Everything was ready and the deal fell through in the last seconds.

I've never read anything about the +12M ,it was always 40M .which again was the agreed buyout of his new contract with Manu
Do you have a source for the 38 +12M ? I've done a costume search and the only figure that pops is £29m .no adds.

The thing is that in almost every occasion the deal could have been better.We let Alves go for free,while a half-decent board would sell him for at least 20M,considering his age.We even let guys like Sandro or the Verminator for free,while other clubs would have sold them for like 5-10M each.

Since when Man City known for their ability to sell?IIRC they suck at selling just like us

Of course signing on-fees must be added. Thats one of the reasons why the price of players with a year left on their contract is lower. The selling club has less leverage and the player can demand a high signing on-fee as a result.

The price was 29m pounds (38m euros) + 8.5m signing on fee (12m euros).
