But even brick would realise that there is no point in negotiating any further. This is starting to become more like the thiago silva saga of previous summer. Constantly asking if thiago silva is for sale and before they realise the transfer window was closed. This is starting to become a deja vu
It is a déjà vu, but to be fair, I too was thinking PSG might sell marquinhos. I doubted it because there was no official words from our president nor from our coach while it happened pretty quickly last year about TS.
But now that we got a reply, I have no reaosn to doubt them. I know many people here dislike Nasser for multiple reasons, but among the good qualities he has, he's not a liar. Same for Blanc that i am not fond of. He's an honest person if you read about his career as a player and as a coach.
That said, contrary to Ultras, I don't support only one club. Among the clubs are support and follow, there are Barcelona and Dortmund for example. So it kind of sadden me when i see Barcelona's board being completely retarded, especilly when they start a crusade against a club i know well enough to know that in many cases, they just waste time.
Mangala is super expensive. But we might have a chance if City buys Benatia instead of Mangala.
I am out of ideas because there are no rumors about other defenders. Only about Mathieu and Mathieu lately.
What many people don't understand too is that many clubs dont say No just to inflate the prices,
I start to really believe most of them just refuse to sell because the market is fucked up right now:
- You sell for a good price but nothing tells you that you will find a good replacement that will not be overpriced. hell, nothing tells you that will find any good CB at all on sale.
That's the discussion i had on this thread yesterday when somebody said we might sell marquinhos to buy benatia. It doens't make sense financially because of the FFP and no sense given Marquinhos can do the job well enough without having to throw 70M on benatia, and I am starting to think As Roma realize they have NO good solutions to replace Benatia if they sell him.
A lot of clubs that are not in need of money try to be pragmatic. They prefer to keep players instead of getting money that they might not spend well or not spend at all because the market is empty.
Liverpool last year proved that they did the right choice when they entered this war to keep suarez. Let's get realistic, they would never have made the seaosn they did if they sold him. Even if Arsenal paid 50M, there was NO one on the market to replace suarez at that price that could have done the job like suarez did.
Dortmund is one of the best clubs around imo because they think about the team and how to handle the season before thinking about $$$$$.
I am starting to think the 35M we paid for Marquinhos last year will be seen as cheap soon if the Market on CBs continues to get fucked up.
) realized that he did not suit for Barca? He left for the wrong reason?
