As I said in the TR-thread, if we (have to) sell Samu for good money, take it and foward it directly to Aulas. Now, reach an agreement with Lyon before the Euro starts. I don't want us to get into a bidding war with Real or ManU.

I also think with the likes of Abidal, Henry who should know him very good and maybe convince him (during the euros?) and some awesome players like Messi, Iniesta, Bojan,... I think he would like to play with them, so we should have a good chance that he would like to join us, if we meet Aulas' demands...

Well, if they don't want to sell Samu, they'd have gone out and denied publically that he is for sale, like our board has done often with Ronaldinho.

I don't know if Samu himself wants to leave, but it seems like our board wants to offload him.

 

[Yaya17]

But wouldn't a transfer of Huntelaar generally rule out any move for Benzema, be it this summer or the next one?

Benzema is way above him. Just saw a short summary of the friendly between France and Paraguay yesterday at night, what an awesome player he is, like leckan said, this guy has everything. Dribbling, pace, strength, headers, shots, freekicks, damn, even his vision and passes seem to be great.

 

[Yaya17]

I think one of Juve's directors declared him as "untouchable"... Silly rumour, which comes up every year.

What do you guys think? Is there, after all, a chance that Samu stays?

 

[Yaya17]

Lucho is Villa's idol, he favoured Barça for the title,.. I don't think he is a merengue...

Anyway, there is some truth in your post :thumbsup:

Somebody from Sport seems to read this thread: p

According to this, Pavlyuchenko is considered as a (cheap) option for the attack.

€15M for Adebayor plus Eto'o and Toure

:howler:

 

[Yaya17]

Arshavin would be for the offensive area, he was great during the whole UEFA Cup, even before and impressed me everytime I saw him.

Here is a link to Advocaats words:
http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/06/20/Premier-League-Arshavin-to-leave-Russia/

“Andrei has told us that he wishes to change clubs,” Advocaat told reporters on Friday.

“At present in the way of offers it is quiet.

With the prices other clubs are asking, the Barça-board seems to get more and more interested in signing Agüero, according to catalan newspapger Gol:

[Yaya17]

Hm... probably no Arshavin. :neutral:
http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/1a_division/barcelona/es/desarrollo/1138229.html

"Siempre ha habido diálogo con ellos y reuniones, pero es el entrenador del primer equipo quien toma las decisiones", agregó. Ingla admitió, además, que el ruso Andrei Arshavin, líder de la selección rusa, "es un buen jugador", pero destacó que el Barcelona se está fijando en "otras alternativas" para reforzar su plantilla.

 

[Yaya17]

91% on EMD want to have Arshavin at our club, 82% on Sport. The vote of confidence is coming up and it seems that they don't recognize our desire and that it could be a great step to save their ass, if they sign him.

Hopefully, he will own Spain...

Hungry for money in case of Adebayor...

 

[Yaya17]

I'll repeat:

Adebayor: 30 goals in 48 games (07/08)

What's the problem?

1. Eto'o: 16 goals in 18 games (league 07/08)

2. Eto'o >>> Adebayor

3. fee for Adebayor > incoming fee for Eto'o (probably)

4. Eto'o > rest of the world...

 

[Yaya17]

It's Trezeguet + money, though...

 

[Yaya17]

Nobody is mentioning this, btw, but I'm happy Gudjohnsen is staying.

Well, Soriano said he has some options, but nothing is decided yet. But I wouldn't mind too much if he stays, decent player with great character and attitude and could be used on several offensive positions.

Maybe they want to keep him and save the money from the likely transfer of Eto'o for Karim next year. :hopeful:

 

[Yaya17]

Well, won't think too much about this rumour. EMD came out the same time and said Arsenal cut their asking price to about 30 mio., according to this weird FIFA-Agent Morabito.

We'll see, but I don't trust Txiki and Co. about this one. Maybe there's some truth in it.

But then, aren't the biggest problem for Samuel to leave his wage-demands? I'm not sure if Wenger would pay him what he wants...

 

[Yaya17]

It's a readers comment, he says that he doesn't understand why a guy like Rafa, who constantly flew to Madrid to f*ck his model, and a guy like Henry, who complained the whole season about everything, are allowed to stay and a great striker like Samuel has to leave...
