ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Saint Domingo]

Makes me laugh how the so called most knowledgeable fans in the world severely undervalue other players. 'Give us 60 million Sanchez and Pedro and we have a deal'. Whatever way round you work that its ridiculous. Suarez is not worth 90 million, and Sanchez is not worth less than 35 when ypu consider some of the other fees paid for world stars such as Mata and Costa. Ultimately Sanchez is worth about 40 and Suarez with his baggage about 50-60. Barcelona and everyone else knows this so the fume will be hilarious when they font end up with 60 million and a world star in exchange for Suarez.

I suppose I shouldn't be shocked at Barcelona wanting to be associated with this toerag but I must say a bit of Barcelona's mystique will die the day he steps out on Camp Nou.

Barca as a club always seemed a cut above the rest, they seemed to stand for sommat but as I say, to be shocked is a sign of naïveté.

I can honestly see Suarez going for £40m with extras for performances. FSG want rid of Suarez quick because he's doing his value no favours with every public appearance/statement he makes.

Yeah but they might end up with £60million and Alexis Sanchez

[toffeejack]

so obvious barca have told him to apologize for the bite.

Well no.

1. That's about 105 million worth of transfer payment.
2. Sanchez has to want to go to Liverpool (lol no)

I liked the bit where they said he was 'humble'..........

Barca's reputation is already falling......

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

The end game has begun.

The staged apology, and then bingo, the opening salvo from Barca's sporting director.

All over bar the haggling now. Barca sense a willingness to sell, so won't go near the buyout clause, they're going to start the bidding low here.

One factor that's not been mentioned yet in terms of the brinksmanship you always get with these kind of deals, is the fact that because of his ban Barca can take this right up until 11.55 on deadline day if they choose to.

The RS are already spending the windfall and they'll have a rapidly devalued asset come Sept 1st

Spot on.

Personally think it'll be about £50m-£55m, or £25m+Sanchez.

If you're Alexis Sanchez WTF would you be wanting to go to that basket case of a club for? The feller is one of the top strikers in the world. I dont think the opportunity to team up with Big Lambo is going to swing it, tbh.

No decent Barca player will want to go to Liverpool, let's have it right. They have CL football to offer and that's about it. Ludicrous the permutations of player plus cash that's been suggested. Barecelona will strip the rat away from Liverpool for circa £60M and the Kopites will be spun a line about 'undisclosed fee...thought to be in the region of £75M'.

Its already been said that Sanchez would rather Italy, and Juventus have shown an interest.

I think they'll offer him the terms Suarez was on - mega money, even increasing on his Barca contract, and as good as Sanchez is I don't think there are many other clubs that would pay the fee and wages.

Not only that, I think Sanchez has been somewhat of a failure at Barcelona (worrying lack of consistency and end product a bit too often) and I think he'd welcome the step down as long as he's paid well to do so.

If not Liverpool, it'll be Arsenal, Juventus or PSG.

What they'll do to save face, is add on the price he goes for, the wages they would have paid during this and future bans, and call it a cost avoidance. All of a sudden, £60m becomes more.

I cant wait for him to go, just so that I can stop hearing about him tbh.

...supposedly looking at Drogba and Lukaku too. They'll be looking to make a big CL statement this season, so all the decent strikers the merrier.

 

[peteblue]

Anyway, they tried being Swansea and now they're becoming Southampton......
