Transfer discussion thread

SkySports saying that Barca have offered PSG 90mil + any 2 of Coutinho, Dembele, Rakitic, Malcom and Semedo they want for Neymar.

Coutinho and Rakitic are the two I’d take.

Rakitic is 31 though so not much left in him, would have to be Coutinho and Dembele (who has a huge ceiling).

 

[charcoalchicken]

Yeah coutinho and dembele are the two, psg apparently rejected this idea not sure why? Only reasoning i can think of is wages?? Honestly that is overs for neymar

PSG don’t need any more attacking talent though both Dembele and Coutinho would be overkill. Plus they need someone who stands up in the CL.

 

[Fwoy]

Barca should finish paying us for Cout before giving him away...

 

[kangaspurs]

Besides, the player that Kanga posted about would only be an Eriksen replacement anyway, so arguably would not be a step forward for us. No way we spunk another £70m on a player if we aren’t expecting a large outlay going the other way

I would have thought this too, but journalists from the usually reliable Standard have said that Spurs are adamant that any deal for Lo Celso is not dependent on Eriksen going.

Maybe Levy's finally decided to go all in, but despite those reports I still can't see us spending 60m+ on two different players without a major departure.

Well they do, Cavani is 32 and in the last year of his contract, and in this scenario they'd be losing Neymar. So Dembele would replace Neymar.

They can cross that bridge when they come to it.

Well they have come to it, if Neymar goes he needs to be replaced, Dembele is a very logical replacement for him.

I reckon you'll bring Lo Celso & Bale in while retaining Eriksen.

 

[glenferry23]

If true that’s a great deal for PSG. Get the feeling Neymar is more trouble than he’s worth.

Haha ****, that would be some window!

I did laugh the other day though when after I posted that thing from Marca about Bale, and everyone on Twitter and elsewhere was saying the guy is really reliable for Madrid news, only for his agent to come out and just dismiss it with such disdain. Unless something drastic changes from Madrid's or Bale's end, it just doesn't make sense financially, despite us apparently being open to it.

 

[Zidane98]

Serious question marks for me on Neymar regarding his mentality. All things considered he surely should be turning up for training when he is on 600k weekly wages.

Dembele also has attitude issues. Trashed Klopp's rental property when Dortmund were standing their ground over selling him to Barca. Supposedly had a FIFA addiction that was affecting his performances.

Haha fu**, that would be some window!

It certainly could be possible. Would have Spurs up there pushing City for the title if it did happen.

Never knew about the rental property. Klopp was already at Liverpool by then, bizarre.

Haha don't be bashful, Z. You know as well as I that your lot are the biggest challengers to City.

I'd turn up in whatever they asked me to wear for 600k a week.

Even a Van Dijk official LFC jersey?

There's a difference between how Dembele was acting as an 18yo and a 27yo Neymar though

Wouldn't go that far. I'd have to play like a gimp to be as bad as him.

For €600k a week, I’d dress as the gimp from pulp fiction himself.

Yes, but his camp said PSG knew he would return late due to commercial involvements, PSG say that wasn't agreed, a classic he said she said.

 

[Memphis]

I'd go dembele and coutinho.

Bullshit? Addicted to FIFA?! ****ing head case.
