Faes to Barcelona

[MGLCFC]

Don't Barcelona run a B team?

[MPH]

If he wants a new contract, tell his agent to at least be a little bit more realistic. Like maybe Fulham or Brentford?

[Blanchflower78]

It's the hope that kills you

[TJB-fox]

SELL

Seeing lots of rumours online that Barcelona are lining up a bid for Wout.

In my opinion, would be a great bit of business if we could make it happen before the months end.

Do you have an example of said rumours? A link or tweet, mayhaps?

Will he be doing a season as Carlos Puyol in the Barcelona legends wax museum ?

Would be hilarious but he's surely not up to that standard?! 

They've got Marcus Alonso and Oriel Romeu 

They seem to be signing average players from the Prem and then basically using their academy to fill the rest.

[Finnegan]

I maintain that Manuel Akanji would have been an absolute disaster signing for us, he can be a complete bombscare, but he was superb for Man City. 

 

Vestergaard was terrible for us on the back foot in the Prem but when we were dominant in our games in the Championship, he was exactly what we needed. 

 

Teams that are going to dominate games need something different from their centre backs. Faes is pretty good on the ball, aggressive and moderately mobile. It won't bother Barca that he has the odd brain fart because they'll trust the team to recover, as Man City do when Akanji does something daft.

Anything north of £15 million, I'd snap their hand off

[majaco]

Hide Faes.  

 

One hiding place could be in the Camp Nou centre circle

 

Or in the Barcelona recruitment team office

 

Getting a decent fee for Faes (flipping fantastic financially) would be great on different levels

 

 

[Reginaldo]

Wouldn’t this need to be done by next Monday to get the cash in this yrs books?

Eh, wouldn't be that excited by that. It's only breaking even. 

 

He's still got a 9m book value, we'd only gain £6m on this year's books for that. 

 

If Barca are truly looking Faes then they probably don't have lots to spend but I'd still be holding out for well north of 20/25 if a club of their size are sniffing round.

I'll drive him there!!!

We have problems next season aswell 

i have a feeling that we'll put all our incomings into next season to reduce the amount we break psr by when  we are charged again by the PL. our EFL break will be record breaking!!!!!

Linking players to Barcelona is standard clickbait journalism. Very rarely any truth attached to it.

I'd absolutely take £15m for him

[nick6666]

Barca ain't got 15 mil .. in fact I fancy em to lowball with something ridiculous , wout will kick up a fuss and he will go for 5 mil .. that's how they operate

I think even if he kicked up a fuss we wouldn't be accepting 5m

[JimJams]

It's simple.

£40mill for Faes, we buy Christensen for £25mill...

 

WE ARE PARTNERING BARCA TO SHAFT PSR!

 

 

And we can have Denmarks back line.

[adejo92]

Be good business for Barcelona,  he'll add much needed height to their under 7's squad.

La Liga rules mean Barca must fill a €130m hole in their accounts for this season by the end of June if they are to bring in any new players this summer — even on free transfers or loans.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

£10m and a Ronaldinho regen please
