    Frenkie de Jong

    We'd be lucky to get even 15m for Rafinha and much less for Denis. Their contract is running out in 2020 and unless they are both loaned out in January and massively impress, I can see one of them going for free or close to free in the summer.

    Frenkie de Jong

    We're just likely to get pocket change for Rakitic since he's 31 years old. And since we still pay Rafinha, Denis and Samper, we have less money to spend next summer. Samper's contract is up in the summer, and Rafinha and Denis have a year left on their contract next summer as well. We will get...

    Richarlison

    Just because we did it in the past doesnt mean blowing our budget on a striker in this market is the best thing to do.

    Richarlison

    It was a disastrous decision to ditch Eto'o for Ibra and pay a truckload of money on top of that. He totally ruined our game, and it was a huge gift to Mourinho who won the CL that year. One of the worst transfers ever by any objective standards. Deulofeu? Paco? These are not superstar signings...

    Richarlison

    OK, so you want a worst case scenario, so that means you'll spend 250m, all of our funds plus some money we dont have on some proven new Ibrahimovic in a terrible striker market who will fail miserably and we're in both deep financial and sporting trouble if you get your will. You want a true...

    Frenkie de Jong

    They most certainly are. They will always sell their stars, unlike non-selling clubs (which only apply to a handful of clubs worldwide). We are definitely waiting, hoping Ajax would be easier to negotiate with, but you have no idea what we actually offered in the summer.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Iniesta's decline was around 30, Xavi around 32 IMO.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    I think De Jong is more important than De Ligt. I'd even throw Houssem Aouar into the mix of midfield signings. Some people dislike us signing those types of players, but we desperately need a good midfield with intelligence. The latest Betis game should be a wake-up call. I think it would be a...

    Richarlison

    Firmino hardly scores goals. I really dont think thats a good fit for us when our midfield hardly scores either and we play another midfield type of player, Coutinho, as left forward. The Messi dependence would be extreme. I think it makes perfect sense to buy a cheaper alternative to Suarez...

    Frenkie de Jong

    We have definitely been waiting, whether we have actually made a high offer is something none of us knows. "Trying to get someone" and actually being willing to spend big are two different things. They are a selling club, always have been.

    Frenkie de Jong

    We missed out on Mbappe who would have been perfect for us, I dont think we can afford to miss out on De Jong as well. With Xavi,Iniesta,Busi coming to an end, this is a player that offers a great opportunity in the market at a good time for us. The main issue is how expensive he'll be as we...

    Richarlison

    Our front line would be very slow, thats my concern. Suarez and Messi would be around 33 years old next season. Coutinho is also quite slow. And the midfield is the key to our game with Raki and Busi both ageing. And we've spent a huge amount of money so it does not seem like we can afford...

    Arturo Vidal

    Plenty of old players have done a lot of things, but since Valverde loves those types and still prefers a youngster straight from Brazil, I think your assessment of Vidal is a little off.

    Malcom

    He did rate the signing of Lenglet even though he clearly was not some world class talent as he claims is absolutely necessary, but Arthur was dismissed by BBZ for months before he even joined us. A huge flop from Brazil, just like Neymar, apparently.

    Malcom

    More like after 0 minutes. Way before he even joined the team.

    Arturo Vidal

    Valverde loves those types of players so if what you say were really the case, he would play far more, the guy has hardly played, definitely would've played more than a guy like Arthur.

    Arturo Vidal

    Hopefully not. He loses the ball too much. Adapt the team to him? He needs to adapt or he's gone.

    Malcom

    He's not a winger obviously. He's a support forward. I think he should definitely leave. The current situation is completely hopeless.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    thanks

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    If he has as many attitude problems as is being reported, I can see a future loan to another club coming in the summer, not even a sale. Does anyone know exactly what those 45m in add-ons to his 150m price were?
