RustyRightPeg Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Draxler isn't really a winger he is Hazard/De Bruyne type player or a Horse he is an attacking mid imo. He plays coming in off the left. Precisely what Coutinho does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance they sell him. The club wouldn't have a choice, if City meet the contract clause price (?274m I think but more likely Euros) then its all down to the player, pretty sure a Russian team met the clause price but Messi told them to nash....Man City, The EPL, he just might consider it.

VALDOS Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Barca's period of domination has gradually been coming to a hault in the last few years, they are certainly coming into a period where promoting from within maybe their best option on the park. The money clubs have now may actually grind the transfer market to a stop. Clubs are no longer going to have to sell players regardless of the offeras they already have so much cash. Fully expect 500 million buy out clause to be the norm in the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm sure Barca could have bought dembele for like 10m a year or two back but didn't fancy him. Similar to them not wanting to pay 4.5m up front for asensio. Real happily pay the small fee and now he's worth twenty times that. Barca have become a shambles over the past 2/3 years.

Blood the next generation and build them up. Tbh I can see them 'struggling' for a few seasons. The team in general is getting old and they won't replace Messi, Neymar was the only possibility of that and even he's left. Similarly Iniesta will leave a big hole in a team that still hasn't replaced Puyol, Xavi and even Alves with a similar level of player. The standard of player coming through La Masia in recent years hasn't been anywhere near the quality of 10 years ago either. An AC Milan style collapse wouldn't surprise me.

Bazzas right boot Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Another big Ajax rebuild Usually their new youngsters do well Seen that, but If Ajax are demanding fees like ?40m, I can see Celtic getting ?30m+ for their players. Van Dijk at ?15m was a steal, next time they sell a player ?30m+. Ajax aren't even a UCL team. I said Celtic were sitting on ?60-?80m of talent more like ?120m + Based on the Ajax transfers and other European transfers, their players could go for at least : Tierney ?20m Nitcham- ?20m Sinclair ?15-?20 Bitton ?15-?20m Rogic ?20-?25m Demeble ?25m+ The new African lad, 19 yer old. chance that in 3/4 years he goes for ?20m Likely more as well if the player isn't noisy and they are on a decent contract. Even players like Armstrong would command around ?10m. Depressing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a myth because when I watch him play he's nowhere near as good or as sharp as he was, he's getting older so naturally he will decline and we're seeing that happen now, there will still be the odd moment of brilliance of course but he's not at the level he once was and he's not playing in as good a team as he did either.

It's not just the odd moment of brilliance it's almost every game. I guess that's the standard he's set though when he can have a 54 goal season and be described as 'nowhere near as good'.

Yes, the current market is hugely over inflated, but can't agree with some of your Celtic valuations Tierney - Yes Dembele possibly Ntcham, maybe in a few more years. Sinclair - No, he's already failed down south. maybe ?8-10M Bitton - , No, he can't command a start in midfield for Celtic Rogic, maybe ?10-12M Armstrong, I'd say more like ?6-8M The Scottish League is simply not considered strong enough to push up the prices higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney will go for more than 20million the boy is a brilliant, the success of VVD, Wanyama and Forster will help them get a big fee. Same with Dembele. But your valuations of Sinclair, Bitton and Rogic are ridiculous. Sinclair failed in his last few years in England Bitton is a average midfielder that won't get in the Celtic line up a head of McGregor, Armstrong, Brown, Ntcham, Rogic and a few youngsters breaking through like Benyu Rogic has ability but he's another Paddy McCourt (lucky if he can last 60mins) How can you say that the new African lad will go for 20million? Think of Gamboa, Kouassi, Hayes, Toure not everything Rogers does touches to gold albeit he looks a excellent coach and gets the best out of his players (even made sterling look good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
