    Yeah . I’ve said what I would ideally pay but I doubt PSG would take it . The only problem is the urgency of getting Messi and Suarez the proper support for next 2 seasons . That’s the only reason thisnlove is being considered IMO.

    This administration sold its soul to bring Neymar to the club in the first place, and landed its original president in Rosell a jail sentence to boot. And he promptly spat in their faces in order to go to PSG. The fact there are even rumors about this reveal just how desperate Barto is to validate his mandate (Rosell proxy). Embarrassing.

    Sadly , given our manager , the ageing players in key positions and lack of squad depth it looks as though we are heading for another dark period ... the only saving grace/s to my mind are FDJ and Arthur .

    Ray Hudson said an EPL team is seriously considering trying to sign Dembele.

    That would be an absolutely bloody magisteeerial move that would send the Culés into orgasmic jubilation knowing that there's a pot of gold at the end of the Blaugrana rainbow!

    :rolleyes:

    Apparently, PSG have lowered their demands for Neymar to 130m Euros and a player (probably Coutinho).

    Neymar’s mother and sister were in Barca house-hunting...

    It is happening, I believe.

    We might be getting both Neymar and Griezmann, as we want to include a player in the Griezmann trade as well to lower the 120m price.

    130m + 2 Barca players. Thanks but no thanks. That's not lowering the 220m price tag when those two players are a combo of Coutinho/Dembele + Umtiti or Rakitic.

    I only see Sport and AS source Le Parisien on these price reduction rumors but I checked their website and they don't have those rumors posted.

    In Brazil they say this will be resolved in 2 weeks max.

    100 million plus Rakitic plus Umtiti sounds great to me

    The key is, does it sound great to PSG?

    It was one of three options I saw being banded around .. and the most tempting to me :)

    I really don’t see how it makes sense to get Griezmann and Neymar unless Messi is doing a surprise exit . They'd have to accept less minutes and rotation.

    - Playing all 4 of them is not gonna happen .. at least in a serious game.
    - Neither of them can replace/rotate with Suarez.
    - But both Neymar and Griezmann can actually play Messi's role to a certain extent.

    Only thing that would make sense is a mix of MSN with Messi being rotated and playing less. Unless he takes Suarez place.

    Not just for you @celito but open to everyone.
    I can't recall. How did Rijkaard handle the "Fantastic Four" situation of Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Messi and Henry during the 2007-08 season? Who were the main starters and were all four ever in the starting lineup for an important match (Clasico, Champions League...)

    The key is, is it the most tempting for PSG?

    Ronaldinho was benched and I think had an injury for part of the season. He only had 20 starts. Messi was starting most games if I remember correctly. Eto'o had injury issues so missed part of the season I think and Henry started most games.

    If we get both Neymar and Griezmann, I'd honestly bench Suarez.

    Who'd play Suarez role ? Messi won't do it better IMO.

    I’m sure Messi , Neymar and Griezman could sort something out tbh

    If we’re signing Neymar then Greizmann deal ain’t happening.

    I can easily see both happening...

    We have to make a statement with Juve and Real Madrid doing so much business ..

    What about De Ligt? How important is he to the equation compared to Neymar and/or Griezmann?

    Current betting odds have Juve 1:20 to sign him whereas we are 20:1

    That doesn't answer the question I posed but whatever.
