It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Centurions]

they are teasing us or do we walking away?

Perhaps he's signing for Mamelodi Sundowns instead?

It’s probably a Starbucks now.

If you are from Chester you bare your arse to the East Gate Clock

But there is also the issue of Bernardo only wants Barca and them paying for him? Not saying I want him to go but if he’s determined to then maybe it’s an option?

Ive not seen anything of any substance to suggest Bernardo wants to go......last year perhaps but Ive not seen anything this summer...unless you are calling baseless rumours solid proof

But if he were to go, for let’s say £80m - £100M, who would we want to spend the cash on to take his place? Not sure I know of a player who has his exact skill set.

We'd need two. Now, in theory, we could end up stronger. But a bit poorer. And then there's getting those two signings absolutely right.

Keep Bernie? Yeah. Deffo. For Midfield. He is the best we can get. Just don't tell him that. His agent will tell him that means he should get another contract.

And as far as the agent is concerned.... Ahh, Bernie wants to leave, right? It's fair enough. So you just bring us the deals that would make it work. You know. Good deals. Like the Diaz deal. That was a good one. Good player! Just get us the one or two players that are going to be as good for us as Diaz was. That can fill Bernie's role in midfield and the wing. For about the 80m plus cash upfront you are getting us for Bernie. Not too much to ask. ;)

no one is as good as him.

we can get someone with the same level of energy and presence in midfield like a milinkovic-savic, or we can go for someone more skillful, but i don't know anyone out there that has both

just don't sell him, i highly doubt he'll complain. it's just too late in the window, barca can't be johnny come latelies and expect us to shut up.

Currently it's not their "debt" that is the problem:

Will Barcelona president Joan Laporta's summer spending gamble pay off?

Barcelona have spent big this summer despite £1bn of debt. It could be a masterstroke - or it could send the club into a downward spiral.

Their issue seems to remain freeing wages to meet La Liga "rules":

Barcelona still in trouble: Forced to sell players to be able to register signings

If Barcelona don't get their act together with player sales, they are going to have a problem in less than a month. The Blaugrana need to get rid of players in order to be able

But apparently we're corrupt and bend the rules at will.
Depends who's bullshit you want to believe

(Oops - forgot the real point, either way they can fck right off where Bernies concerned. Can't belive Mendes needs more money that desperately)

Agent percentages change in 2023, he’s trying to maximise his cut now…. However I’ll raise the Woolworths flasher and go all in at mooning outside virgin records should he leave, just can’t see it despite all the gesturing

 

[manimanc]

been awfully quiet since you last posted.

Hey mate don't knock him, he's got more predictions right than wrong over time, this latest one was obviously something burning but it's gone cold, happens with transfers.
He's not a wum, he posts in good faith.

Which says that price is too low.
