Bernardo Silva

[DeBlueLou]

Ah, yea, Barca got some real money to spend this summer. Will be surprised if they can even register Gundogan

 

[BrianW]

When you read about Barca, Real and United it's almost like the Curse of City has come upon them.

'She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
'The curse is come upon me,' cried
The Lady of Shalott.'

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Ridiculous, isn't it. Is there any update on how much we've received yet? I Know last year it was reported that we'd only had a couple of million off them, but presumably they've paid further instalments since?

Think it’s still about £40m mate. Unbelievable.

Bernardo was never going to end up at Barcelona this summer. I always assumed it was going to be PSG, until the Saudis came. Now I am doubtful. But I do wish he gets his deeply desired move after being the most dedicated servant to the club, and makes us seriously compensated in the process. I assume his replacement is where we “splash the cash”.

I will say, though, that I wouldn’t oppose a deal that involved FDJ coming our way if the rumor on the BBC site had any truth to it.

as much as id like to believe this we have had the same sort of stories every eyar for the past few summers and they always do register/sign players......
Just ilke the Rice "delay/faltering deal" when going to Arsenal.....it was always going to happen...its just media creating more stories to fill more gaps - its all bollocks

This is where UEFA are letting themselves down big time! They need to step in and safe these fucking idiots from themselves

 

[Haaland94]

I love how they act like it's breaking news. This has been our valuation, what we have promised Bernie, for a long time now.

IMO They should be made to pay the money they owe before spending another euro.
Tough shit if they fuckoff into oblivion

You have to admire the cheek of assuming we might loan him to a club that hasn't paid for the last player they got from us.

The shamelessness of Barca is only equalled by that of the Italian teams

I don't understand the repeated claims that Barcelona owe us most of the money for Ferran Torres. With any transfer there is a legally binding agreement for payment(s) to be made either immediately or within a set time frame and if that doesn't happen then the buying club can be sanctioned by FIFA. The notion that the club is just patiently waiting for Barca to pay up at some unspecified point in the future when they feel like it makes no sense.

Penalty clauses in transfer agreements: what can we learn from the jurisprudence of FIFA?

Professional football clubs often conclude transfer agreements. In the majority of the cases the clubs involved with a transfer agreement respect these contracts.

They have 2/3 more years to pay up the deal was a 12 month delay before first payment of around €12m think another payment is due this year too

So there is no issue with them 'owing' us money then. It is proceeding as per the transfer agreement.

 

[leo_city]

Another summer and he’s not going anywhere because imo. Will be lucky to get the PSG or Saudi move. Let’s see who puts up the €80m

Another picture of Bernie holding a cup the scousers will hate.

And why the fuck would we want to do them such an enormous favour? when its very apparent,just like the other cartel cunts,they would see us dead and buried at the first opportunity.

This is a fucking life lesson for all these clubs.

What makes you think they aren’t simply paying on the drip like happens with 99% of transfers?

That's exactly what they are doing - paying to a pre-agreed schedule.

My point was that quite a few posters seem to be under the impression that Barca aren't doing that but instead they are refusing to pay up.
