Marco Verratti

[FCBarca]

Reading this quote 6 years on makes me laugh. 11 million and 30k a week for a 19 year now is what youth team players get.

It was a silly quote even then, tbf. Many knew he was a super talent and would've never even been on PSG's radar at the time had it not been for Leonardo & Ancelotti who knew the talent well and that Juve were hovering in to pay 9-10 million, it simply was the market for a bonafide star in the making

Probably won't happen but Verratti would be the dream midfield signing for me.

For those who have not been keeping up with the general thread, Tolm has said we may have been offered Verratti for £80m but his injuries might be a stumbling block.

Really hope this happens, he'd be ideal for us, and still only 25.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Don't think he's worth half the money we'd have to spend for him.

 

[TonyM]

But his injuries may be a stumbling block.

Why does PSG want him gone? Do they know something about his injury that we don't?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Better than Jorginho but I doubt we’ll sign him.

Fair play to tolmie

Not fully up to speed with their financial situation, but he maybe a player they are willing to let go if they can get a decent fee.

And Danny Ings who's played 14 games in the past 3 years is going for £24mil. City ruining football once again...
