Does he get #7 or #11?

Barca have learned their lesson and won't make the same mistake as Neymar with the "low" release clause I see

 

[Black Lotus]

shoulda put the release clause at 1 billion

 

[haicheo]

105M thats insane. When we started the summer that would be the proposed transfer fee for CR7, wonder what'd he go for in this crazy transfer market bubble.

 

[rolaholic]

105 up front with like 40m+ in potential add ons if he pans out the way people think he will. The 2nd most expensive transfer ever,for now...

Funny thing is that Rennes is owed 20% of the fee and will end up making more money from this deal than they did when they sold him to Dortmund just last year

Word. P$G done changed the game lol

 

[lucho]

^look at that "initial" 105m

Good luck getting the rest of that money BVB.

Like I said, Barca is not a cash rich club right now.

Son. BVB just flipped 15M into 105M in one year. And if he is a success at Barca, they get another 42M.

They got their money, plus some.

coutinho put in the request
seems like his intention is set
Trey Bantz , idk how you caping so hard for a dude who seems like he doesnt want to play there
whatever happened to a team being > than the player notion

if dude really got finessed by Barca and his agent, then dude needs to come out and say he wants to stay
idgaf about this "olive branch", hes the man everyone wants...he can shut all this down himself
he needs to send out a " eu vou ficar" tweet.

Spoiler: translation

im staying

Does he get #7 or #11?

11.

I would sell Coutinho. Man's been great for us. Just get the money and spend elsewhere (backline, Coutinho replacement).

He's going with #11

 

[imasoleman18]

saint maximin got next

He's going with #11

Fitting for Neymars replacement

saint maximin got next

Wish he would've stayed at Monaco,Nice are in rough shape right now

lovehateself this whole thing has become bigger than Phil, it's about principle now

I'm caping for Liverpool, and will gladly keep a player against his will if it means that we weren't coerced into selling a week before the window closes.

 

[rolaholic]

Poor Obama,BVB is selling everyone that wants out but him

Man just wanted to make his Grandad proud

Guess the 'Murican GOAT has the keys at Dortmund now...

 

[jape]

wish dembele woulda took the #7 shirt

he coutinho thing is more than exhausted..it's too much money for him even though he would be great for us
i hope barca still isn't done with this transfer window though

would love to have ADM for the bargain price that PSG is trying to balance their books with.

The kid is gonna flourish this year.

If there's one thing we can agree on, it's this.

#7 would have been good.

I hope we bring in a true CM, and get rid of some of the baggage. I do think Sergi Roberto should get his shot though. Make him a started, and see what he can do.

 

[jape]

agree with everything you said...sergi roberto will flourish. how many big time plays does this dude have to make?

but i think he and raktic should fight for the right sided midfield position and bring in a cm for the left side who can control the flow with busquets.
sadly iniesta is mr glass now...still will be great for us against the lesser teams though


and if we can get juve to cop gomes

 

[Black Lotus]

yo Juve really eyeing gomes?

 

[ROYGBiV]

I don't think Dembele will be as good as Neymar. Sure he's younger but Neymar is on another level. I agree that this was as close to Neynar as they could have gone.

I'm not too worried about him right now because he's a ball hog. Dude has to mature a bit

 

[ihavemyownopinion]

Please Juve, take Gomes

 

[rolaholic]

Gonna need some stats in the total amount of money spent in Europe this window when it's done...gotta be a few B's by now

 

[ROYGBiV]

Juve want Gomes on loan. I dont see an issue with that.

TBH i don't think we need him to be as good as Neymar. I think he has that 1v1 capability like Neymar, but i wouldn't mind him being more of a Pedro type player. Just work, pressure the defense, use that speed, and finish what the GOAT gives you on a silver platter.
