Village Idiot Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Guessing it's to do with the fact Barcelona were trying to sue him mind. To be frank both announced they were going to sue each other regarding the loyalty monies as soon as the deal happened. It's just come to fruition this week.

KaKa Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Man ... I think Ousmane Dembele is quite raw. Not sure he's the one to spend that kind of money on at all. Not as high on him at all. Could Barca not have gone after Mbappe with that amount? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Mbappe will probably go for slightly under Neymar money, so no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I like Dembelé, I just think it's utterly crazy money for a 20 year old, and a massive risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 After the Neymar sale i think everybody you could have signed would have a either been a massive risk or underwhelming tbf. The only way you could have avoided it slightly is accepted Neymar was going ahead of time and bought in replacements before you got the 200m, but that would take some forward thinking which seems to be lacking atm.

Taylor Swift Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Barca have lacked forward thinking for the last 3 years. Wasting the end of Messi's prime. Such a shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Dembele had something like 20 assists last season. He's still a little raw, but he's going to be very good. Not the worst way for them to use the Neymar money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Dembele is pure class, but this fee will make him the second most expensive player ever after Neymar, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the worst way for them to use the Neymar money. It's probably the best position for position replacement tbf, the only alternatives is going for a more sure thing but ultimately will prove not good enough in a couple of years. Going for potential is probably the best possible course of action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Dembele is pure class, but this fee will make him the second most expensive player ever after Neymar, right? Yeah, but it's like Carroll being 35m because of what Liverpool got for Torres. Obviously on a ridiculous scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Not about the money. Doesn't matter what money you're worth, if someone owes you 24m you're gonna be a bit fucked off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what money you're worth, if someone owes you 24m you're gonna be a bit fucked off He won't have a leg to stand on imo. You can't sign a new contract with a big loyalty fee and then organise a transfer with a club 8 months later. Seems to be similar to what Pulis did at Palace (mind what pulis did was even worse).

Tooj Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Burke signing for them just shows exactly what's wrong with your average British footballer. He's at arguably the best place to be to develop his game when it comes to facilities, coaching and learning on a tactical level, yet wants the comfort of home.
