It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

What about a £65m buyout?

Yrs bit we have to wait till summer direct that...I was replying to the idea of going in early this winter and slapping down 20m beyond that as an incentive

I dint think £20m is enough, but you'd think offering them £100m - £35m more than the buyout - would be enough to make them think.

The league is over for them but they showed they can win the Cup with Haaland last year and theyd consider that a good return.

You are probably right, Dortmund would want to factor in the risk of missing out on Champions League qualification between now and the end of the season, certainly.

There has to be a way to keep the original fee down, even if it is a £20m premium on the buyout and maybe another £20m in future bonuses?

Once Torres head was turned doing a deal for Jan was the sensible thing to do. No point in keeping an unhappy player. And if Barca went elsewhere he might not even get a summer move

Hopefully the swift move means we're going to make things happen in January too. I'd obviously prefer Haaland but still happy with Vlahovic.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

What? He couldn't stretch to £50, or have you earmarked £7.50 for an alternative?

Yes, Phil Jones is available for £7.50. Homegrown, too.

The German media will be of help for the next few weeks, as they are also reading the room and speculating between now and the closing of the window.

They will be getting soundbites from various camps and, if nothing else, it brings pressure on Haaland and Mino to speak out and nip it all in the bud.

Dortmund won’t miss out on Champs league.

Brilliant. He would be able to do his own 2022 calendar for us.

Here's January:

Seriously, I can’t believe this point keeps getting made

Just posted on Torres thread but ESPN (Marcotti) is doubtful the transfer will go through without Barca selling as La Liga will stop it.

Must be something we don’t know as he ran through the figures and said it breaches La Ligament rules as quoted fee plus wages.

Of course he could be wrong but interesting info.

This after Tebas publicly says he advised Barcelona to sign Haaland? Bullshit
