Fuck Coutinho. Put in a cheeky bid for Messi, 15M plus add-ons. If that’s not enough, add a box of Jaffa cakes for every goal he scores for us.

Un-refrigerated ones... We're not barbarians...

[Medellin]

The embarrassment was too much after the loss at Anfield..Leo went into hiding.

[elsewhere]

I think Messi would fit the way we play just fine.

[Something Worse]

I don't think Coutinho will do well at Chelsea.  If we've learned anything about him, he's the ultimate confidence player.  We've seen how he does when the crowd gets on his back - he becomes anonymous. 

Yeah he probably needs a fresh start, but going to that mob in London would be swapping one nightmare for another.  If you compare him to Divock, he definitely lacks fighting spirit.   

Wonder what's going to happen with Barca?  Money's not really an obstacle for them, but Messi and Suarez aren't getting any younger.  Granted, given the more sedate pace of La Liga compared to the Prem Messi can probably do another 2-3 years easy, but they need to be planning for life without Lionel now.  I'm not really seeing much long term planning in there.  That said, Messi isn't the kind of player you can easily replace.

I think I read somewhere that their wage bill is getting to be a serious issue.

[elsewhere]

Aren't they banned for transfer this summer anyways?

[FiSh77]

He'd be boss here, just imagine a front 3 of Bobby, Mo and Mane, be fucking great

He's a lazy c*nt who looks at his teammates in disgust when they lose, great when winning, weapon of the highest order when it's not going his way

[BigAl24]

Digne and Andre Gomes. Barca in underwhelming transfers again...

Shit day at work so having a smug 5 minutes.

Seriously?

[FiSh77]

Seriously?

Fucking hell, forgot I'd chucked that one in, surprised the bait hadn't come off by now

[rushyman]

Bait ?

I’m chewing that happily. You’re conpletely right ?

[clinical]

HOw are barcelona affording Griezmann and Neymar with only coutinho going?


Aren't they in debt?

[El Lobo]

Not that I particularly think karma exists....but if it does, everything since Messi and Suarez’ antics in the first leg might back up the idea that it does.

[DangerScouse]

They might offer Demebele as part of any Neymar deal?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Neymar isn't going to Barca.

[farawayred]

No one really knows the shenanigans. The Neymar-Coutinho swap that was all over the news would make no sense to PSG whatsoever. Using Dembele in a swap would make no sense for Barca. I have no clue what the Spanish papers are trying to create.

[Phil M]

I have no clue what the Spanish papers are trying to create.

Sales and mouse clicks I'd suggest.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Has Neymar a clause in his contract allowing him to leave after a certain period of time? Is that his they enticed him there?

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Look at him in that fucking kit

It’s still hard to take in.

Robbie Fowler recently in the Barca home game was comparing Suarez and Owen and saying why is Suarez given the love and Michael not

That pic is all you need Robbie

Yeah, I remember that, Fowler having a go at Suarez for the way he left, with Owen and McManaman sitting next to him.

I couldn't care less about Suarez and Coutinho now, but we got good money for both of them, and, as you say, at least neither of them has gone on to play for Man Utd (yet).

People forget that McManaman was on Setanta sports jaboot a week before our final in 2007 vs Milan were he was asked iuf he wanted to say anything like do you wish Liverpool good luck next week. He ended going on aboot Everton and everyone knows hes a fan of everton growing up so he didnt want to see us winning anything. He basically saw his arse.....He then said something aboot Robbie being his mate and would like to see him do well,but has no wish for lfc to win anything. He basically didnt work on tv a lot after that for a long time.

The manner in which he said this wasnt Jokey either.

No doubt he realised the errors of his ways as work dried up and hasnt acted like that since

Don’t think Messi works hard enough to be reliable cover for Robertson.

[Tobelius]

Don’t think Messi works hard enough to be reliable cover for Robertson.

Not enough pace or strength and is a shortarse

[farawayred]

Don’t think Messi works hard enough to be reliable cover for Robertson.

And how many games do you think Robbo would miss? Surely Messi can cope with the League Cup and the other odd game...

[sinnermichael]

Apparently the Barcelona players wanted to do this bottle challenge but couldn't because they all lost their bottle.

[lionel_messias]

Has Neymar a clause in his contract allowing him to leave after a certain period of time? Is that his they enticed him there?

He has a free peroxide bottle and available females (under 24) clause. Once both are provided, he is released from his contract, pending his beach/Playstation/DJBooth monthly allowances being fulfilled.

[No666]

So Barcelona really do have money troubles - they tapped Griezmann up and now want to avoid paying his full release clause. Not surprisingly, Atleti are furious.

Money troubles will be pushing it somewhat.

However, they will want to spread the payments over 2 or 3 years (remember, their first bid for Coutinho was £75m with £15m a year for 5 years, and I do wonder how many years they actually paid it over).

With a buyout clause they are supposed to pay the whole fee at once.  However, this is seldom the case, and terms are usually agreed between the clubs to spread the payment.

Barça have signed DeJong already, if they want Griezmann and Neymar then that’s a huge amount of cash in anyone’s book. (And we’re assuming Deligt is a no go now)

[deFacto please, you bastards]

They can't sign Griezman and Neymar. But  I hope they get the book thrown at them, smug c*nts

[vivabobbygraham]

If they renege on Griezman they are fucked. Smart move from Atleti calling them out. If they want Neymar too then Dembele and Coutinho have to go. Wonder if this is why Liverpool are keeping their powder dry, thinking someone might shake loose over it all

[No666]

Aw, don't be a pedant. I was just enjoying their difficulties.

[classycarra]

No disrespect to their travelling fans at Anfield, but the rest of the club is fucking awful. It's about time their loathsome and entirely transparent transfer tactics were called out.

Mes que un club indeed. Spoiled c*nts

They don't care. Fabregas, Suarez, Coutinho, Dembele and now Griezmann, when they decide they want a player, they will do whatever is required to force the move through without giving a shit.

Don't believe it. There's nothing in there about them taking Griezmann to Blackpool.

[Son of Spion]

They really are a horrible club. Because of that, I'm turning my souvenir Barcelona fridge magnet from the Camp Nou upside down from now on. That will teach the little shits. 

[DangerScouse]

We are no angels ourselves but Barca appear to be the worst club going in that regard.

[Son of Spion]

We are no angels ourselves but Barca appear to be the worst club going in that regard.

Football is a dirty business, and there are no squeaky clean clubs now, but Barcelona are on another level. They are the guy who swaggers into a bar in his sunglasses, hits on your wife right in front of your face then wonders why you might be a little upset by it.

At least we have the decency to whisk you off to Blackpool on your own before making a move.

The funny thing is that they kinda didn't turn up for Barca either... bar Neymar in his previous stint.

Just up on the BEEB: Barcelona: Louie Barry signs from West Brom

Barcelona have signed England Under-16 striker Louie Barry on a three-year contract from West Bromwich Albion.
Birmingham-born Barry, 16, had been with the Baggies since he was six and turned down the offer of a professional contract with the Championship club.
West Brom will receive £235,000 in compensation from the Spanish champions, according to news agency Reuters.
Barcelona say Barry will play for their under-19 squad next season.
