This is all Mendes speculation guys, the original story comes from A Balo who are strongly connected with Benfica. That these two together they are creating fake speculation to drive up the price. Myself I like the player and would like for us to sign him but not at the reported prices. We need to be patient with this one, I hope Robert has done his homework and learned from the last Jorge Mendes trickery (Andre Gomes). Only buy if we believe he is the right choice, no pun intended.
absolutely not. Is Fabinho worth it? Yes.

Benfica only owned 50% of Ederson's registration rights/had sell-on clauses. So of that 40m fee, they only received 20m. That is why these Portuguese clubs insist on selling so high.
With Semedo it's 95%, so it should be possible to drive that price down to reasonable levels and that's what I expect.
When we signed Gomes, Mendes offered us signing Bernardo Silva instead.
Perhaps we should have listened to his trickery back then lol

I have never trusted Barca's negotiating, we have gotten stiffed in the past. We have to be smart this summer.

Forget their negotiating, I don't trust them to make the right decisions.
But if we can sign Semedo for 30-35m with a tonne of clauses that might never get activated like with the Renato Sanches or Gomes deal, then I'll be happy with it. Rather that than 40m+ for Bellerin.

I think he can bring more to the Team than someone like Bellerin or Fabinho...

Are you sure? There has been nothing suggesting that. Specially considering he born in cameroon and moved to France at the age of 2?

I wouldn't bother. That guy is wack.

at the notion of 'fair'. This is all business here, so business aspects apply to football as well. Fair price for a pair of sneakers considering how much it takes to make them would be 10-15 dollars. Yet they cost 50-100 $ or more. The simple fact that people buy them means the price is right. Not fair maybe, but right.
Get real guys. We need something and we have to pay up or come up with a genius find. Considering who runs our club, I think we can exclude that we will find some gem of a player hidden at a 10th placed team from Germany or Portugal or whatever. One that nobody knows he exists, one that we will sign for 10m and make him perform great and shock the world.
Sounds nice, but this is not Hollywood.
Pay 40, or even 50m. for Semedo and sign Seri as well. See if something else is possible and if not move on with just these two. They will be an improvement for sure.

You could've gone through the list yourself as I suggested, and probably half of those players I listed never became near the level of Amor, Puyol, Pedro, Valdes or Pep.
Agree to disagree regarding Palencia. For me he is the one who has lifted his level the most of any La Masia player at Barça B for the past 5 years at least.
