But any 'news' coming out of FCB should be treated with contempt. They have done nothing but spout shit throughout this saga. Take their manager saying only 2 days ago that a deal was close, only to have a £118m bid rejected the next day! Its obvious from 99% of the posts on here that Barcelona have gone down in most people's estimations. Shithouse club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Barca's constant claims about their activity with Coutinho and Dembele also make absolutely no sense when Dortmund are publicly listed and are legally obligated to announce any bids over a certain size that they receive - and their announcements clearly don't match-up with the kinds of activity that Barca claim to be up to in regard to Dembele. So either BVB are committing massive fraud on their shareholders, or Barca have been talking out their arse quite a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what barca was built on nor is that what earned them the reputation of being a better club than Real Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 19, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 19, 2017 Barcelona really can't win here. Either fail in getting their man which makes them lose even more face in terms of their power and pull in the transfer market, or alternatively buy the player but look stupid paying massively over the odds. The second option is probably better as it allows them to improve the team and shut their critics up on the pitch and the massive fee will be forgotten once someone else pays a retardedly massive price for someone not worth that much which won't take long.

oliveandblue Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 £113m?? That's a lot of money for someone who has already dropped tools and will offer you nothing from here on out. Buying an inflated price player in January will actually get you something instead of the nothing you are going to end up with. Barcelona are making a huge mistake here - but Liverpool are being too proud and not realizing that they can fill multiple holes with £113m.

There are plenty of players around for cheap prices but how many out there will take Liverpool to the next level? Not many. They can't need the money with the TV money they receive. Keep Coutinho, strengthen with another defender and midfielder and win some silverware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been a professional and i think he'd surely know we'd be open to letting him leave next year once we've had time to prepare for it. So he will get his move eventually. In the meantime he's on a 5 year contract and got a world cup to look forward to which requires him getting regular minutes if he wants to be on the plane.

Thats a pretty major failure really given we'll likely have to play extra matches on last year and already had a pretty shallow squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salah and Robertonson coming in will be decent for you but I think you'll do your business towards the end of the month, surely you're not going to keep with the same squad largely as last season.

Dr. Gonzo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Lol the £113m bid was £80m (paid over 5 years, not up-front) with add-ons for the rest. Including he has to win the Balon d'Or. Then they gave us that deadline. Lol. Klopp to a Brazilian reporter this morning: "With the rumours of Barca paying £130m for Coutinho, will he leave?" Klopp says "They didn't offer that, we said no, yet they offered, I think tomorrow they will offer a McDonald's Happy Meal and we get the toy as well!?" https://espn.uol.com.br/video/720179_klopp-fala-sobre-possivel-saida-de-coutinho-do-liverpool-e-ate-sugere-tema-para-entrevista-com-natalie-gedra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Neymar was up front as it was a release clause but generally fees will always be paid in installments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Ronaldo was up front, Manchester United demanded it. I don't see a problem with Liverpool demanding the fee up front, especially as many of the supposed clauses are not that likely, especially balon d'or winner.

Neymar's money was paid in full, which makes Coutinho's bid daft, if they truly intend to sign him. The add ons are on other level of stupid. As much we, LFC fans, rate him highly I doubt whether he will win the Balon D'or. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your owners wouldn't require it all up front, you're probably still paying Southampton for Mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Gold Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Barcelona-based reporter Gerard Romero is saying Barcelona have ended their pursuit of Coutinho and are now moving on to other targets (Dembele, Seri, and Di Maria). Unfortunately, though, this guy appears to have a penchant for talking out of his arse, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
