Ilaix Moriba

[worcestersauce]

I suspect the agents are digging in because they've already been paid an installment on their brown envelope deal.
If Barcelona want to sell to Spurs and if it's true the player wants to sign for Spurs then the fact that the agents are refusing to deal with Spurs and effectively forcing him to go where they want needs to be investigated.
The authorities will have to become involved and I suspect I know someone who will involve them.

Let’s hope this is who we were really after in the Barca talks!

I want us to wade in and get this done regardless. It's all well and good coming out with clean hands smelling of roses, but al too often "clean hands" means "empty hands"...

Yes please, if we can't get Ilaix then Puig would be another with similar potential. He's very small for the league but we have seen similar size players do well and he has tenacity. Always looking for the ball, progressive passer, just need to be more influential in the final third but he's still young.

I knew that the circle of time would bring us back to Puig. Destiny itself beckons.

Thank you, next

Thank you, next

Seems we helped Barca bump up the fee...

Least they could do is give us Coutinho as a thanks

I think getting Royal on a decent fee is good enough

Nah we're paying a healthy price for that, a cheeky coutinho loan wouldn't go amiss

Who knows, maybe that was the plan all they way to get a discount on Emerson or another player.

Sounds like we may have forced Leipzig's hand here and once they decided to offer a similar bid to ours now rather than waiting for him to run down his contract, there was only going to be one winner due to the agent.

Oh well, not heartbroken about this one tbh.

Barça can now invite Tottenham to a nice dinner. Thanks to Spurs' appearance, Leipzig have not only conceded but even agreed to let FCB keep 10% of a future sale, as @albert_roge reports ?.

I wonder if this allowed us to get Emerson for cheaper or convinced them to agree to our bid

 

[ZiggySpurs]

Barca is taking us out for dinner, you'll never sing that!

 

[Aleks]

Friendship ended with Real Madrid, Barcelona is new best friend

 

[Matthew]

So we basically made Leipzig pay a fee, and as a thank you they let’s us have Emerson for 30m?…

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Maybe they’ll let us bid for Braithwaite too??
