Good luck getting Napoli making a better offer than us

Didn't they offer, and agree, a €70m deal for Pepe before he opted for the scum?

They've obviously got some money there, but whether they're actually in for him is anyones guess.

Atletico Madrid might be, but no idea where they're at financially at the moment. Obviously made a lot of money from transfers but have spent a fair bit too.

If they were that interested they could of come in at any time, but they haven't. If Betis don't sell to us what makes them think they'll get what they want after our window closes.
This is definitely a ploy. They must know they'll never get the money we could give them. Good luck to them if they believe they can.

Why? Cause Levy won't pay what they want? It's up to Levy to agree a deal they are happy with or move on to something else. They even sold Junior and Camarasa just now so might not even need the money as much atm.
This. I'd be more confident if we actually had a back up plan. If our list of targets is really so small, then we have to pay what it takes.

So the respected journalist is effectively qualifying his article by saying he thinks it could a negotiating ploy. That's quite interesting.

That Pepe fella has no idea what he’s saying. He’s said Lo Celso signed like 40 times this window at different stages, I trust that Pepe as much as I trust the CB Pepe to not get a yellow every game.

Think their president said they made a big offer but that they couldn't compete with arsenal.

I think their main priority this summer has been James Rodriguez, and made Lozano as well. Rodriguez were rumored too be insterested in going to Atlético, so maybe the club that doesn't sign him will try for GLC instead. Still can't see them making a better offer than us though, especially since he's not their first choice in that case.

The player wants to play for us. He’s not interested in another move, and the club need the money.

Pressure is on Betis to do a deal, of course this sort of shit will be released by the Seville-based press.

Confirming the recent report, negotiations are broken off


If Poch didn't like the player so much I'd tell them to fuck off when they come back on Wednesday begging us to reopen the deal at our rates. I suppose it's not personal, just business, and as others have mentioned I'm sure Levy has done the same.

By the way, the answer to the bottom tweet is definitely the Postcode lottery adverts......feckin Northerners winning a cheque for 10 grand which enables them to buy 17 houses in Rochdale

I think Rodriguez is staying now following Asensio’s injury.

But is it really though? They needed to sell Lo Celso to pay for Fekir, but now they've sold two players, with one of them covering Fekir entirely! I'm not sure why everyone thinks he needs to move, unless it's a tactical issue where Fekir and glc can't play together..

Has he said that?! When has he said he’s signed in the past?

Can’t believe how fucking painful this deal is to do. I just want him in for Poch’s sakez

End of the day these journalists are both saying what Herc and Trix are saying so it doesn’t look good at the minute.

Dont think I've ever seen this much bullshit surrounding a transfer. It's a fucking joke from both sides on my opinion

I would love if he forced a moved but honestly can't see that happening..

Betis are looking to sign 2-3 more by all accounts. Don’t forget their window doesn’t shut for another month essentially.
