Is it such a impossibility that this is just a stalling tactic by Barca to extend the negotiations for 10 days past the cut off of the lower release clause?
The cutoff is July 31st. I doubt they can carry on like this for more than a month.
 
I don't think it's much of an issue with the tax, more of a business issue with Barcelona on a corporate level. If we piss them off now it may harm our relationship for further deals.

How exactly are we pissing them off? Plus who cares about the deals in the future? How many players have we signed from Barcelona in the past?

Don't think we'll be getting that many players from them!

Who knows, we pissed then off no end when we got pique and that wasn't much different. God knows what pisses these people off, no doubt they believe they have god given right to all talented played in the world. It's just business sense to keep them happy.

Damn so we will never sign Messi after that.

With all due respect but Barca are currently a stronger and more attractive club then we are and they tend to spend more money both on salaries and fees. The only players whom we may take away from them are

a) youths (ex Alcantara)
b) rejects
 
Is jojojo a woman? My world...upsidedown.

Me lady, I seek your forgiveness.

Edit: A side note. This thread is 1k posts short of surpassing Ronaldo's. Not sure if that's a good or sad thing.
 
Please tell me you are shitting me, Top... :lol: All this time we spent talking in the la liga thread and it didin't occur to me once that you were a woman.

Sorry jojo :nervous:


SEXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

The dead give away is that I never discuss the state of my cock in a transfer thread. :smirk:

I will try to sound girlier in future.
Or more likely, I won't.
 
So now we know that jojojo is a female and not a male, we can direct questions at her accordingly.

AL?

EDIT: was meant to be ASL, but took the 's' out as we know now. Oh yes we know jojojo.
 
Unbanned - after god knows how many years!

Just to ask two important questions:

Can he play in a midfield two?
How much will he cost after his hattrick in the final?

:lol:
 
We always seem to take ages when closing a transfer, so i suspect this will be completed sometime in August.

A girl with a cock that she likes to hide? Interesting.
 
Jojojo is a woman? This is another Paul Dyson UK situation on our hands.
 
How exactly do we usually take ages?

Last Summer we had Kagawa and Powell before the window opened, likewise the Summer before we signed Jones, Young and DDG, all before the window opened. The year we signed Hernandez and Smalling, both before the window opened. The only one in recent memory that was late in the window was RvP, but that's cause we didn't actually go in for him until around two weeks before signing him.

We're the complete opposite of taking ages, or were under SAF anyway.

:lol: I was convinced you were a guy, seriously.

How come you know so friggin much about football though?! I was even probably going to name you poster of the year for keeping the la liga thread so up to date week in week out! Not so sure now that I know you're one of the crazies though. ;)

Ah, also all the football gossip and stuff should have been a dead giveaway, which I always found a bit strange coming from a guy in fairness.

True. Berbatov was the only last minute one that dragged on and on wasn't it? That was fking epic though.

I'm probably thinking of experiences with the likes of Hazard, Moura, and in the past Benzema, Torres to name a few.

I guess we don't have much a problem with the British players as we seem to get them signed pretty quickish but i just get the impression we are not so good concluding deals for foreign players as efficiently as we should.
 
Be honest jojo, you kept your gender secret as long as possible out of fear for marcos, right?

Where is that crazy Argie anyway man, I can't wait to tell him this!

Who cares about all this Alcantara nonsense, jojojo is a chick! :D
 
we have Woodward and not gill doing the negotiations and if his success with the marketing and especially the Chevrolet deal is a good example then he seems to be a very competent negotiator.

As in, players we didn't sign?

Hazard and Moura both signed for their respective clubs very early on too. I think the Caf just prolongs transfers really, you log in here expecting updates every day and it makes you impatient. The fact is though, as soon as you get embroiled in a bidding war with another club, the transfer will take longer to go through (assuming it does), that's not just us, that's pretty much every club.
