Look how much United spent last summer, we just got better than them. Same with City. You're completely naive if you think largely this move isn't about money. And Man United won two trophies to be fair. Until Tottenham prove they can actually get across the line it's very hard to argue that a player like Kyle Walker will win more trophies at Spurs in the next five years than if he moves to City or United. That's not to say you're wrong about money being the primary motivation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that money is the primary motivation, because if the money on offer was equal at both clubs would he be moving? I sincerely doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter...although even that was overblown, they had been rotating a game each since January - just so happened the big games came on Trippier's 'turn'. Don't think Poch took too kindly to him having his head turned like that in season though - so he's happy to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll start in the under 23's and play early cup games and if he doesn't develop as expected we'll still probably double our money when we sell him on. If he does develop and is a success then great. RB Leipzig also offered him a contract which is encouraging because their scouting network has been brilliant and their record of signing young, hidden gems is top notch.

SirBalon Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Newcastle United in for Carles Aleña Quite a number of clubs have set their eyes on one of the few Barça youth players to have made it to the first team squad this season. One of those has been the midfielder Carles Aleña who can play in various roles throughout the midfield and even as a false 9. At 19 years of age the player made an impact on Luis Enrique who from Christmas called him to the first team from Barcelona 'B' and there he stayed all the way to the season with various appearances in the Copa del Rey and 3 in La Liga as substitute. Rafa Benítez has been in touch with Barça but they've told him that he's not for sale. So apparently the enquiries are now on a loan deal for two seasons which hasn't yet had a response from FC Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that he demands high wages even though he hasn't exactly done anything in top flight football. Good business for you lot though I have to say. Either he develops into a great player after spending a penny on him, or he turns into a flop in which you could possibly sell him for the same amount.

Administrator Stan Posted May 30, 2017 Administrator Share Posted May 30, 2017 no surprise there with Mahrez. 'it's time to move on'. Probably got a move lined up already. Good luck to him. Got no qualms with him wanting to move on. He's possibly been the most talented player we've ever had. Provided us with so many jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring moments in the 4 years he's been here. Just hope we get a decent fee for him now! 34 minutes ago, Cicero said: He demanded 60K from us. After doing sod all.

I'm with Artful Dodger on this one. It's money money money, the only reason you're even at the table, otherwise you'd be back languishing in the lower leagues where you belong.

Cicero Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Think that's it for us in our Sanchez pursuit as we have moved our interests to Bernardeschi of Fiorentina. Thought he was nailed on to move to Juve but apparently we are trying to work something out. Great signing if this manages to go though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
