50m haha but let’s have a moan at the club for not doing this fantasy deal which is clearly horeshit
Nicolo Barella
- Thread starter RedNed77
- Start date
If you go with Matic and Felix over Fred and Lingard that midfield could easily concede 60 goals in a Prem season.
Fair to have a moan when it's that price
sure, that isn't his price though which is my point
he's an 80m to 100m player in my book
So why aren't Inter seemingly rejecting then
Spot on.
Same, seems like a classic talent that would lock himself in Italy limiting his career. Italy produce some great talents, such a shame we don’t see many of them in the prem.
Saying that I would hate to see Barella at Newcastle, they could end up with a better midfield than us.
give it a day for their journalists to rubbish the claim
OK will hold you to that,just noticed Romano is saying that offer is too low so that's positive

Inter signed him on a deal that could go up to €50m, and he got drastically better since then, reached the CL finals this season, and is now looking to sell him for £50m after all that?
This is some bullshit and even if Newcastle really need made that offer it would only be treated as an insult.
I don't know about the reality of these numbers but I love watching Barella play. As good as any midfielder.
You guys have no idea what ETH is trying to build. Mount and Barella are very different players. Especially energy levels.
Don't think Inter will sell him, that too for 50 million. He is inter fan and iirc rejected lot of clubs when he signed for them.
Exactly. Also the moaning has gone on for several pages.
Like you said give it a day for reports to come out denying it or saying too low.
If there is a quality both of them share, it is exactly their work rate.
Yes, the difference is that Barella is better in every aspect, including workrate.
Barella combines workrate with football qualities, is probably the best alternative to Frenkie in terms of football quality. If he is in any way available, I'd even spend 80m on him.
£50m….. I’d say there will be a massive brown envelop slipped in there as well off the books.
How the pheck does the CL finalist Inter accept such a small bid in todays market from Newcastle of all places? That sounds....weird. I mean he can hardly be pressuring for a move to Tyneside or?
Id say it’s possibly the other £50m they can receive off the books. Keeps Newcastle on track with FFP.
Anothet WC midfielder and we aren't even in the running. This club is allergic to good midfield signings (Casemiro is one in 10 years)
If he were to become available, I think there'd be more than just Newcastle interested.
Totally agree. Him Bastoni and Tonali I cant see ever leaving. But I thought Dounarouma would never leave also. Money talks now. Serie A financially is miles behind the premier league.
TBF at the time Pogba was one of the hottest properties in football. Bruno has done well. I really rated Matic for a few seasons and Ander Herrea. But take your point we badly need to break the Mctominey/Fred cord.
Seems a few people have jumped the gun on this. No fee or personal terms agreed. Inter allegedly want considerably more than £50 million.
Barella is more complete than Mason Mount. But it is a specific ability Mount is maybe better. Mount finishig ability. I think i will rate Mount higher on "potential goalscorer " ability.
But again. As complete and full packet as a football player. Barella is clearly better than Mount.
Barella is a at least a 70 mill £ price player.

I get the impression you haven’t actually watched Barella? Surely energy levels are something they have in common - perhaps one of the few things they actually have in common. I don’t really understand why people make such definitive claims when they quite clearly haven’t actually watched the player.
These state run clubs don't pay massive fees upfront for players because they do all sorts of shady shit involving off-shore accounts probably.
That's been the case since around 2009 bar Casa and Eriksen last summer. However many others have definitely not been Utd quality
Terrible deal for Inter
The £50mil approach was via an intermediary to the club. Not via his agent. Inter want way more than £50 mil if they sold.
I'd love to see a list of everyone we're 'interested' in.
We produce the most clicks, there's zero truth in 95% of the stories about us.
If there is any truth that he would be sold and fancies the move to PL, between him, Mount, Caisedo, Rice, which one should we try our hardest for?
I've only seen him a few times, but he stood out instantly. A few seasons ago he scored 19 goals in a season, we definitely need players who are capable of scoring and sharing the goals burden as that was a major problem last season.
We've been linked with a 68m move.

Would need a massive piece of paper. It’s the same every year. We’re linked with about thousand players but only sign about 2/3 of them.
Ignoring costs and only suitability to play alongside Casemiro and Bruno, for me is:
- Barella
- Mount
- Caicedo
- Rice
Always impressed by him.
True, but it begs the question, if we are genuinely interested in signing both....where do they play then?
