It is.I was under the impression it's €29m
Throwing £5M away is better than throwing £25M away.Yeah, which is why I think we will buy him. He’s 22. He’s probably always going to be worth more than £25m, a lot more if he settles and improves.
So why throw £5m down the toilet when we will probably break even or make money if we sign him?
Because we don’t need him and that money can be put to much much better use improving other areas of the team.Yeah, which is why I think we will buy him. He’s 22. He’s probably always going to be worth more than £25m, a lot more if he settles and improves.

He isn't very good though so how is it breaking even to waste money on him?That’s my point though. It’s definitely throwing £5m away short term vs probably breaking even or making money longer term.

His pedigree is one good season in Portugal. Write off the £5M and get a good player in with the £20M we save on not having himBecause he’s in poor form. But for his age, (actual) talent and pedigree, he will hold his value or improve it over time.
What great things are these I wonder
He is top 15% in pressures. Good but massively overstating to say one of the best in Europe.Think he was one of the best in Europe for pressures and ball retrieval in the opposition half or something. Sounds **** but it is a key part of what managers want from players these days. Defend from the front as they say.
Personally hope we don't sign him, the money can be put to much better use. And the fact we already signed a meh player in Hwang would just make it worse.

If the numbers overall make sense he will. Sunk cost fallacy is not what investment firms doPersonally I would tend to agree with you. But I don’t think Fosun like writing anything off!!
Or if he’s not suited to the premier league which looks to be the case at the moment his value could drop. Personally I’d hope we would be setting up a deal where we take him from Barca for Adama then exchange him for someone from another club. Let’s not forget though that he’s on £130k a week at Barca so is going to have to take a pretty hefty cut to sign for us.Because he’s in poor form. But for his age, (actual) talent and pedigree, he will hold his value or improve it over time.
Oh that's fine then. More than makes up for the lack of goals, assists and bottle.....He is top 15% in pressures. Good but massively overstating to say one of the best in Europe.
Didn't we have the same situation with Jose though? Unless i have it wrong; i thought there was a penalty for not taking up the offer, and we didn't.Personally I would tend to agree with you. But I don’t think Fosun like writing anything off!!

Literally played ThursdayNot in the 1st 11 again.

For context, Dembele's current salary demand is 40 million euros.I was under the impression it's €29m
For context can we have a time period. For a five year contract that isn't bad. A week though.... lolFor context, Dembele's current salary demand is 40 million euros.
Barca have just eased a bit of there financial worries, with a MONSTROUS deal with Spotify.
I wouldn’t be surprise if they use that money and use it BIG.
FC Barcelona and Spotify seal a strategic long-term partnership in sports and entertainment
The platform’s company name will appear on the front of both Men’s and Women’s team shirt and training kits. For the first time, the global audio streaming platform becomes Title Partner of the Stadium, which will be rebranded as Spotify Camp Nouwww.fcbarcelona.com
Which probably covers wages for 3 months to put it into context. It's not as massive a deal as you would think for their stadium naming rights.€75M a year from that sponsorship alone. Sheesh.
City is £15M a year the record stadium naming deal.Which probably covers wages for 3 months to put it into context. It's not as massive a deal as you would think for their stadium naming rights.
It would be if not only for their wage bill, but their close on 1 billion euro debt. That money doesn't even put a dent in that....City is £15M a year the record stadium naming deal.
Obviously shirt sponsorship on top of it. Madrid the record at £60M for shirt deal.
It's a massive deal.
They've refinanced their debt so it isn't a major issue anymore - the wage bill is a huge problem though.It would be if not only for their wage bill, but their close on 1 billion euro debt. That money doesn't even put a dent in that....
This is where the 'option' clause is problematic.Barca feeder club?
Barcelona will target Wolves' Portugal midfielder Ruben Neves, 25, as a replacement for Spain international Sergio Busquets, 33. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish)
You need to pay for Adama first!!!
Isn't Kessie his replacement?Barca feeder club?
