Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[PaulFCB]

The problem with doing it that way is that you have to pay the full amount in one go. Maybe that's what one of the reasons why they didn't consider to pursue that option of Aymeric Laporte.

Or they should've talked about that too...

1. We pay you the release clause 36m ( now 42m )
2. Half now, half next summer ( though I think it doesn't make a difference considering next summer they won't "need" to pay for any transfers )
3. Bilbao certainly don't need the cash right away, as they don't transfer, for them it's exactly the same thing if they get 21 now, 21 next year IMO unless they are in insolvency which is not the case for them.
4. If they still wanted to stay firm and ask all the money in one payment, the pressure put on by the player wanting to leave might have convinced them to accept, especially after the Llorente incident, in the end they don't lose anything, same cosmic amount of money.
5. The problem is, maybe Laporte wants to play for Bilbao more, so no pressure on the club, especially now with big chances to reach the CL.

These days you have to sweat for a player like Mathieu, the press says Hummels snubbed Barca for Man U, why, I wouldn't get it, except for a huge ass salary from Man U we didn't promise him.

Still cant get why Mathieu is considered "barca cb quality" and others arent. Waste so much time on one cb with zero significant achievement, shiet.

I am more interested to find out why Hummels has decided (allegedly) to join ManUre over us?

I think we should prioritize central defenders, but cuadrado is not bad purchase, he can play right back, option if alves go, he can play midfield, something we need if xavi leave, which is likely. and he can play attack, something we need now that neymar is injured and Suarez can not play until the end of October.

maybe they offered him half of addidas' new sponsorship deal

I know very little of him apart from what I saw in the WC matches , must say he didn't show signs of having ANY defensive awareness at all , he looked like a pure winger to me , I can't even recall seeing him tracking back much tbh ..

Alex Song could also play both DM and CB and he ended up playing neither for us. Just stop with these "versatile" players and get good old specialists who do their job well and suit us

Hummels didn't choose anything. He will not leave BvB this summer as said by Klopp and BvB's boss that last 24 hours.

And god knows what will happen next year, but this summer, MU can shove their offers up their arses.

Xavi is close to 3-year deal with New York City FC. Barcelona and Xavi want deal done before Thursday, when he should join training. [sport]

Mathieu (Valencia): "My transfer to Barcelona could be announced this afternoon? I'm hopeful." [via superdeporte]

Can we just sign Mathieu and pay Inigo Martinez or Aymeric Laporte's buyout, and call it a day?

42M+tax?

 

[KingMessi]

42M+tax?

30M + tax for Inigo, or 42M + tax for Laporte.

I'm just getting tired of this rumor mill. Getting too old for this shit.

 

[Cule4life]

Benatia/Laporte are worth it. Certainly better than blowing 80m combined on Marquinhos and Cuadrado and then complaining our defence still sucks
