Yeah Eds gonna fly to Spain to then offer the same amount without calling first. I hope people don't believe this.
Probably, but he'd have to play very well for a few years here to earn such a move - which is probably about the best we can hope for in our position.
Does seem completely ridiculous doesn't it.
He probably just fancied a day out in Barcelona. Fair play Woody.
As long as we keep his contract with at least 3 years, we'll be fine.
He's not from Spain though, so I doubt it'll go to that. Do Basques from France like Madrid/Barca more than other teams? No idea, and the only sample of a top player we have is Lizarazu who was settled in Bayern.
When you have money you can just pop up at Barcelona, offer the same amount to Barcelona guys, have a quick drink and just go back to UK.
no wonder Woody hopped on the next flight out to Spain. City will definitely be gunning for Pedro after not getting De Bruyne
If that's true, what the feck are you expecting, Woody? They have a transfer ban and already have thin squad. Stop low-balling and just pay up.
Why?
Totally. He would have gone to €25m + his plane peanuts if pushed.
Let the bidding war for Pedro begin.
Silly tweet by Coast. And even sillier to dignify it with a response as if its true.
As if he'd fly there to be told that. Surely he already fecking knew?
Yep, surely he's either not there at all or still there?!
Excellent. City with De Bruyne would be dangerous.
We need Pedro ASAP! Get Laporte too Woody!
This a U-turn written all over it imo..I expect City to raise their offer to match the 80 mil that Wolfsburg want..
Well, those are the only two possibilities.
Rubbish, why on earth would Ed travel to Barcelona only to find out what he already knew and leave?
If reports are true and Barcelona want the €30m upfront then just bloody pay it and get it over and done with.
I'm not sure TBH, but I just can't imagine any player (other than Aguero apparently) resisting advances from Real or Barca, particularly someone who has played in La Liga before. But as you say the important thing would be to ensure his contract has plenty remaining on it if he would be playing well for us, just in case.
Not that I think we're actually interested in him of course, but it's an interesting debate to consider.
I was thinking more of him having been there and come back. Surely too ridiculous to be true.
Something happened regarding Laporte?
Maybe Barcelona are buying Woodward
Ladyman saying that they may be something there..but in all honesty after the double Ramos Otamendi blow, the muppets are just getting desperate..
so people think woodward flew all the way to barca just to get told what he most likely already knew regarding pedro ?
Yeah nah I don't buy that.
Yeah nah I don't buy that.
The sighs of relief can be heard all the way from Sir Matt Busby Way...
"Come on lads, surely you'll do a deal now I'm here in person?"
"No."
"Where's the best local bar?"
"No."
"Cnuts".
Are we stalling for 21m after selling Di Maria? feck off.
Alex Sandro to Juve for €20m on a 5 year contract.
The brief chat with Barca couldn't have been done over the phone?
Sounds like shite.
Sounds like shite.
Good signing that if true. A couple of seasons ago Danilo had stalled at Porto while Sandro was doing well. Don't know how both players did last season but if Sandro's going for 2/3rds of the value of Danilo I'd say that is good business.
Done deal.
He's not going to haggle over that. €30m is a bargain for a player of his calibre and we need attackers like him if we are to challenge this season.
He'll be posing with our shirt by Friday.
We clearly are, otherwise he would have been ours already. If city are actually in for him, we will have to pay up.
