That's not the point. Barca should set a standard for themselves in this market if they're going to buy wisely. If 20m is paid for someone like Mathieu then Barca will have to pay twice or thrice as that for any better and younger defender out there. If they want to overpay and still buy other defenders then be my guest. I don't care if they even get Mathieu for 30m.

Based on the tabloid rumors clubs are already asking that kind of amount for their younger players. Today's market dictates that I guess.

He's training with the team today.



Barça's offer 20M for Mathieu. Diffrence is payment form. Valencia want payment immediately, Barça want to pay in installments [cat radio]

If Valencia is demanding 20M for a 30 y old average defender then Roma or Bvb will ask 100M i think. This will be our last signing. It was a good transfer window but not what they promised. But hey we have finally signed a CB after 5 year wait.

It is inevitable. He is the savior of barca defense. It is his destiny. People like me and you can't stop this.

Anyway What are the odds that we will try for one more CB this season?

very less.There would not have been this mathieu and 20 mil saga had there been some decent option other than him.

Valencia defender Jeremy Mathieu (30) would not travel with his team to Peru tomorrow. Deal close after player took 3M pay cut. [rac1]

3M is a lot. That guy is really desperate to come to barca. We need players like him i think. If only Benatia or Hummels does something like that everything will be set.

Benatia is staying at roma. Hummels, at bvb. There aren't that many great options left. I hope they close this deal, and then try to see if someone else is available.

And when they are finally about to sign a CB they sign a below average soon to be 31 year old guy that is extremely overpriced. 20m f me. And considering the transfer ban that is upon us, what will they do in case he fails (which he will)? Better put that 20m+money that is meant for Cuadrado and buy Benatia instead.
