Maybe but not relevant to point you made.

You quoted 20-25m after Barcelona had been linked in the past few months.

LOL, maybe? Its a shame the search function doesnt work. I think I might have said he could be available for 15m one time, as I wanted us to sign him a long time ago. Thats the thing, I want us to look for good value in the market, and thats why I've been so positive to us signing Umtiti instead of this laughably unrealistic, overpriced and impossible players like Marquinhos etc.

I dont see the point of more of this non-stop bickering you seem to love. Lets just be happy we are likely to sign Umtiti!

The search is not working for you? Have you tried the advanced one? http://www.barcaforum.com/search.php

And I remember Jombi talking about Umtiti a long time ago. I still have no idea what to expect, never saw him playing.

People laughed at the idea of us signing Umtiti for 20m a few months ago before we were linked to him, so 30m which I think will be the price now is reasonable. Why is it crazy? Didnt you call him just a random no name youtube player as well? 30m would make him the most expensive defender from France by far btw.

I can't recall having called Umtiti that, but I'm sure you can find it for me?

Umtiti doesnt look anything like the next Abidal to me.

Looks like a player that relies more on power and pace. Probably better examples but like Kolo Toure/Sol Campbell type.

Abidal was just pure class and so calm on the ball, think it is a lazy comparison.

Not saying will be shit just to me doesnt loo an Abidal type.

Yeah, I know.
I've said something similar, I'm sure, but can't recall it being about Umtiti. Anyhow, I'm sure Jombi is out there beavering away to uncover the truth!

The search function isnt working so we cant know for sure, but I believe it was one of those broad brushed dismissive statements you used to make about unproven talents and youtube players were you included Umtiti. But I understand that opinions change once we are linked to these players.

Oh, how convenient :lol:
I know I've called you something in that vein, but come out now, you're bound to strike gold once in a while with all the players you're name-dropping.

Pretty much any conversation I have had with you about Umtiti or other players I can find in minutes.

Can google it easy enough.

Virtually everything you claim I have said is false so I doubt it is much different here.

from the video he looks like the kind of CB that has excellent anticipation.
he can sniff long balls and thoughballs from a distance.
hopefully he will earn his place in our team
