Mr_Dogg Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) If we go back to Gerrard saying "If we manage to execute those targets in this window, I think the fans can be excited" He's hardly talking about a CB, a defensive midfielder or a left back. Attacking players are exciting, known proven players are exciting. I think there is real interest here, if the player is interested then, it's a question of finances.

Sky Sports is owned by Fox’s rival NBC and Sky Bet are owned by Paddy Power. The two are no longer linked. Not in ownership but in back scratching you wouldn't know who's arm was who's.

He'll certainly be right on the money if we get Coutinho in. In all fairness those were his words and I don't think he's a man known for melodrama is he.

PieFacE Posted January 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2022 Quote The negotiations between #Barcelona and #AstonVilla for Philippe Coutinho are still ongoing: however, Barcelona should pay a part of the loan salary and that does not convince them much. #FCBlive #FCB #AVFC #Mercato #Transfers Blue circleRed circle Via: [ @RudyGaletti Who on earth is going to pay his whole salary? Guess he's off to Newcastle if they want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yeah, sigh... This ain't happening, he's on £350K per week right, who is going to cover that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he tells them he doesn’t want to go to Newcastle? Barcelona needs this to happen, they can’t register their new signing until it does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, villabromsgrove said: You're right Phil, I totally forgot about Bailey. Out of sight, out of mind as they say. Bailey 178 cms - faster than a speeding bullet! That adds him to the list. The problem seems to be that when he runs flat out he's in danger of pulling something. His tracking back pace when he pulled his hamstring was like Usain Bolt on steroids (until he immediately started hopping as his hammy tore). I guess I should also add Nakamba even though he won't be available for some time. Nakamba 177 cms - no real pace. Apart from Martinez, Mings and Hause we're quite a small team aren't we. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....yes I'll get my coat.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 So we allegedly offered £150k to Greal-hiss to keep him here.. I just can't see how we can sign Coutinho due to his financial demands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassyNoel Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Sounds like Barca have made a rod for their own backs with this one. Only a club like Newcastle with more money than sense will pay it all (if they're even allowed to - FFP and all that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 200k was what was reported. 150k was just a small increase over his 120k and when City were offering 280k it was hardly a good financial counter offer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Could come down to the player pushing for move to us and Barca trying to push a move to Newcastle, if that was case it could drag on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
