I think pep is more likely to want someone who has a track record in the premier league like he signed alonso for Bayern even though he was over 30 than a young show pony with no premier league experience

Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Pep will want someone with a track record in the premier league like he signed Alonso for Bayern ....who had never played in Germany before and had no track record there.

You completely contradicted yourself in a single sentence.
 
If you guys have any gooner friends I've got a sure fire way to wind them up! Just tell them you're signing Nolito, Stones, a midfielder, and might even smash the transfer record in one weekend without it leaking! I'm choosing to believe @IanBishopsHaircut and take the optimistic route.

"What the fuck are you even talking about? Are you being serious or just trolling? Of course Messi is unlikely. I highly highly doubt ANY of those players are being sold without anyone leaking it. No chance in hell. You seriously think just because pep is coming in they have to shatter the transfer record? "

Holy shit, I sound insane.

Goons as friends?
 
Messi would be left field - but I'm not ruling it out. He must be questioning a lot of things saying what he did after that Argentina game! To go back to Barca and do the same shit he's done his whole senior career or reinvigorate himself with a new challenge?

My bet would be Bale. After watching how Soriano and Txiki at Barca went for Beckham and then Ronaldinho… Bale is 26 and the obvious thing is he's British and knows the prem. Would he want to come back? Who knows. But I'm sure we'd try for him. Saying that, once Ronaldo is over the hill, who is Real Madrid's main man then?

Between them two for me surely. Neymar - can't see it.

His entire professional career has been based around getting back to Barcelona where his wife's family, who he's incredibly close with, live.

As for what you said - if Suarez didn't want to move Barca wouldn't sell him, he earns less than the other 2 anyway and no club is going to sell a striker who scores more than a goal a game.

And as for Pep's brother, He's an agent. He's not going to do anything for a move his client doesn't want - and if he did, I'm sure Siarez would promptly fire him.

And as others have pointed out he was £65m at 28 years old. He's now headed towards 30 and I'm sure he'd cost more than £65m, but IBH said this would "smash" the British transfer record and Suarez wouldn't do that.

If it's one of the Barca lot, it's Neymar. Pep desperately wanted Bayern to get him, but they didn't do it for him, and he's going to want to fly the coop at some point and get out of Messi's shadow. Plus he's angling for a pay rise which Barca might not be able to give him.

Yes, because nothing would leak at all about a deal of that magnitude. Just cryptic posts on the internet.

Solid logic.

I'm sure you've been asked but why do you bother with these threads. You're about as welcome as a fart in a lift.
 
Based on all this speculation from IBH, I think it's got to be Neymar, Messi, or Bale. But from both Madrid and Barca's perspective they realize that Ronaldo and Messi are getting older and they have world class player on the opposite side, Bale and Neymar. From their point of view, it wouldn't make sense to sell these. That has me thinking it's Messi. If they don't sell him this summer that means he will be in his 30s before they do (or if they do) and won't command as much of a fee. They would be crazy not to consider a world record fee for a 29 year old.

All that being said I would cream in my pants if any of the three joined this summer.
 
Anyone have any ideas who the midfielder could be other than Kroos? If we're looking to just go all out and announce everyone this weekend then surely it's not Kroos. It would eliminate Bale too I would think. That would leave us with Messi, Neymar and I have no idea about the midfielder other than Kante.
