Barca don't rate him anymore, their manager said negative things about him before sending him out on loan, his loan at Sevilla was bellow average

So all in all, 3M is very logical
I thought it might be as low as 6m and maybe lower if you look at past history of Barca rejects but still. Would be cartwheeling if true.

3m total for Cleverly and Deulofeu. Right who's next, we should have about 15m left. Lets put in a sneaky bid for Messi.
 
The mail saying Payet wants to live in London. All lies I reckon

Everton are rumoured to be keen on Payet, however he is more keen to move to London, according to the Daily Mail.

Mail says we are signing Del for 3 million, which I believe.
Article also states Hammers want to sign Cabaye from Newcastle. If they send their delegation there, it should leave us enough time to get the Payet deal done and dusted.
 
Was expecting 8-10m if I'm honest so I'm surprised at 3m. Considering Sterling is 'valued' at 50m..

The contract must have a buy back clause + add ons if it's that cheap
It might do but Barca are the best team in the world. It's unlikely he'll end up being that good and if he does would we complain.
 

i remember spurs getting giovanni dos santos for £4.9m when he was really highly rated. turned out to be a bad bit of business but i suppose barca don't really need the money. dela is obviously quite talented - he's not done anything largely significant in his career, but shouldn't be valued that low. as if barca need the money though.
Exactly It's the fact they don't need the money. These are academy players and they want to find them a good club where they also want to go to. A few mil is peanuts to them.

The trick is to keep him inconsistent, maybe insert some kind of electrified device up his hole and give him a jolt of it every 2nd time he gets the ball. The Barca scouts will soon lose interest.
 
I've mentioned it before and I know it was a defeat but the Fulham game away in the league cup, the first 45 minutes he was superb, frightening -like an even fast version of Kanchelskis. I would take that all day every day for 8m+ let alone 3m.
He was frightening before his injury. Not quite the same after but he's had a long time now to get back to normal.
 

He's exciting and incredibly frustrating to watch at the same time.

Bags of talent...hopefully he reaches that potential.

Lennon's work rate was 10 times better...with the same pace.
Lennon's close control wasn't near as good as Deulofeu plus Lennon won't get better. Deulofeu is 21 with still very limited experience. His potential could be huge.
 
Del Boy had an amazing impact on Martinez first season and was a major reason we got 5th. He has 1 thing we don't have and that the ability to go round players. 3mil if true is a steal for him. Cheaper and younger than Lennon, no brainer
 
If we get Deulofeu for £3m there will probably be a low buy-back clause... I'd rather see us pay a bit more and not have to worry about Barca buying him back for less than what his value would be if he has a great season.
I don't think they give that option. This way it suits all parties. We get the player, Barca's board have a bit of political cover for selling one of their own (I honestly don't think they really think there's a chance of using the buyback) and the player goes to the club he wants.
 
if this is true I forgive Martinez for a shocking season, to get deulofeu for £3m is a bargain, I know it will include a buy back and will include more payments depending on performances but still!
