Do we know what percentage of his wage Bayern paid? I'd assume not full amount as I don't remember too many loans where that happens. I see no reason why Barca would try and demand we pay the lot now that they are in an even weaker negotiating position than when they loaned him to Bayern.

Delphinho123 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think this will get done, and before the UTD game too. You have to remember that Barca can't afford this to drag on for two reasons. 1. They need to register Torres so the sooner the better. 2. Every day he is there, he is costing them around 50,000 euros (mental). We're going to do this, I just hope it's a loan that runs for circa 12 months with an option to buy.

Phil Silvers Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Can't wait to hear the change in tone from the sky numpties if it's starts to look likely. They make everything sound so dramatic and exciting apart from the villa/Coutihno link. Shit for brains haven't got a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see how we can sign Coutinho due to his financial demands... It was just north of 200k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Sweet! Sounds like all we have to sort out is how much of his salary we'll pay, any potential compulsory clause to buy after the loan and then any potential contract with Coutinho should we buy him. Should be easy enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely north or 200k we offered Grealish, which I thought was an unbelieveable amount and would convince him to stay. Then I heard City were offering him north of 300k a week. Incredible sums of money really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be easy enough You laugh, but the hard part is convincing him to actually come here. Once the players wants to join and the board know they can afford said player, its just formalities then. This will get done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read recently that Torres has covid and is carrying an injury, and so Barca are in no particular rush to register him. Of course that could just be a load of old pony they came up with to deflect that they are in no position to register him at the moment anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moustache of Teale Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I might be missing something here but: 1. If discussions / negotiations are really at an advanced stage, would the stumbling block of salary and who pays what only just be cropping up now? Surely that would be one of the first things on the agenda, given his current wages. 2. Where are the Newcastle links coming from? Is there concrete evidence that we’re going head to head with them, or is it a case of him being linked to them due to their mega-riches? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be easy enough I've read all the clauses are finalised. Apparently Purslow just needs to figure out how to break it to Coutinho that it's Villa he's joining.
