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.

Sho Time Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Whey not sure about fair play to him for giving it a go, he went for the money and little else IMO. I'd say at least he's decided he wants to play now and not just sit on the bench, but I reckon that's all he'll do at WBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bollocks about saying that he went for the money as he could've earned more if he'd have went to a Premier League club last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Under the right coaching, Burke could be some player. Alas, he's being managed by Pulis. £15 million seems a good price too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
