Barca have FDJ, we need a CM player and he is the perfect player, the deal will be done.Id be floored if he went for anymore. I don't subscribe to this idea that Txiki is clueless and can't sell but its just all the factors that are at play here.
He has had a few big injuries, is a Spanish international (so Real and Barca are priority), is on big wages, is not first choice at City and I think he has proven on more than one occasion that he can be a "sad face" if he needs to.
Barca and Real aren't putting 80m on the table and we aren't going to spite ourselves and hold out for some mystical figure.
And Barca already owe us huge bags of cash for Garcia and Torres, so even more leverage.
