Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[Chainsaw]

Zubi nearly got crucified for buying Mathieu for 20M, so you could imagine what the reactions would be if we signed Miranda (who's only 1y younger) for 30M

Miranda is a better CB and not a converted FB to CB. If Mathieu's worth in this market is 20m, 30m for Miranda won't be a big surprise.

Miranda would surely have more of an instant impact than Marcos, I'll give you that. And he could have 4+ more years at the top level.

Though I'd rather pay Diego Godin's buyout clause. He's best buddies with Suarez and was the more impressive of the Godin-Miranda duo. Besides he's from Rosario.............................Uruguay.

Oh not to mention the immediate threat he adds from set piece opportunities.

Football wise, I like Godin, I really do, but I can't get this picture out of my head whenever his name is being brought up.

 

[Chainsaw]

How much is Godin's buyout clause?

Ah, true.

At this point, I'd try to sign Miranda for 25m and call it a summer in defence.

 

[KingMessi]

How much is Godin's buyout clause?

Somewhere in the upper 30s, so 30-40M euros IIRC.

Almost as much as Laporte's then

Zubi got crucified for travelling with the team for a friendly. He might as well stop doing anything if the public opinion is taken into consideration

Laporte's is 42M, so about the same.

Hold your horses. He misses the ball quite often too. He takes too many risks and should learn to be smarter.
