Depends on the sum really. He is not worth 80m, and the root cause that led to his error is his bad technique and his low football IQ, that is not something that can he easily fixed. He is all muscle, not much else in him so far.

Regardless, if he stays and does something even close to this again, it becomes obvious we're dealing with a bum.

This is only acceptable once.
Will have teams queuing up to transfer him if hes available and likely for at least 60-70m.

Nah, 60-70 mil is emberasding.

We paid for Ferret 55mil.

If they offer 90mil then that is price, Laporta denied 80mil already.

De Ligt was sold from Ajax after one season for 80mil.

No way Barcelona starter with this much potential can be sold for less then 85-90.

I don't mind selling but for the right price.

Araujo and De Jong combined for 170mil, I would take it.

But problem is, idiots would buy Olmo and B.Silva to be our wingers for 120mil.

Teams win and lose as teams. we should criticize Araujo for the mistake and the whole team for the approach afterwards. Only worrying thing is he doesn't seem to own up to it. We shouldn't sell, a mistake from a defender is always hard on the team, but move on.

Then even more reason to sell him and get a great sum for him. Sure, he may become a top class CB one day. But he could also fail to do it. It's not certain which.

Madrid signed rudiger as a free agent, a top class defender and a CL winner at the time. Opportunities on the market for signing top defenders are gonna appear in the future, but you need to fix the financial issues to sign these players.

Indeed, this club is very good at moving on from shite performances without learning much from them.

You guys are ruthless :lol:

FFS.

He was overrated even before this error. His poor technique and rash tackles have been discussed before. It's not like this is some freak accident. Those weaknesses with him have been known for some time. And he doesn't seem to improve with time.

How is it not at least tempting to cash in big time on him?

And then what?

Sign other players obviously. You know when Madrid sold the likes of Ozil, that seemed like shocking decisions. Di Maria also.

Please tell me when it's the last time Barca made a smart planned sale. A rated player they sold for big money willingly. Not like Neymar where the player left.

Maybe Sanchez a while ago. Borderline.

Serghei is just super gutted that his mistake cost us a likely Champions league final, he'll calm down eventually.

You can't rate de jong as WC and then not rate Araujo, it doesn't compute.

He's still one of the best CB in the world,sell him and replace him with who?.

Going into next season our starting CBs should be

Araujo - Kounde,we need to slow it down with cubarsi just a touch, even though he's already better than VVD.
