[Nicholas]

It's gone downhill the past twelve months.

Anyone knows when will Barcelona have to pay the 11.5 million euro in bonuses and if they paid the money already? They bought Sanchez for 26m+11.5 in bonuses. If they still didn't pay the bonuses, or most of the bonuses, and if they plan to replace Sanchez with someone else, then we could negotiate a solid price. By solid price I mean something between 18-20m euro.

 

[Nicholas]

I read on the Barca forum they've already paid 4 million of the bonuses already.

 

[Alen]

I guess they did. Most of the time the bonuses include appearances, league position, CL success etc., and they usually give guarantees to the selling team that the bonus money will soon be paid. Udinese wouldn't have sold the player if these 11.5m eur were paid only if Barca wins the CL.
In any case, if some of the bonus clauses are yet to be activated, then Barcelona will be even more willing to sell.

I just hope we get him. Barca fans don't like him but Vilanova seems to rate the guy. Hopefully Barca is going to buy some new toy themselves it would make things easier for us.

 

[Salvatore]

If they get Neymar things could open up.

Di Marzio confirmed everything reported in this mornings papers is true

Vidal renewing and us opening negotiations for Sanchez.

Sanchez wouldn't be much of an improvement on what we have. If we want him to play as a RW in 3 man attack, i would go for Pedro before touching Sanchez. He's overrated.

You're such a negative neddy these days Cheese

 

[Mr Chocolate]

would he play well in the middle or would you guys only play him on the wing

 

[baggio]

He'd do just fine in the centre in a 352. Equally devastating if we play him wide in the 433

 

[Bianconero81]

He offers something none of our current strikers have. Pace, dynamism, and would be a weapon if we choose to play on the counterattack. None of the sloths we have in attack (barring Giovinco who is just incompetent) can attack at pace.

Question : due to the regulation every Italian club can only have 2 non-EU players no? If Sanchez comes, does it mean 1 of Vidal or Asa needa go?

 

[Badass J Elkann]

asa doesn't use up a non eu spot as he arrived from another serie A club. sanchez and/or Vidal probably hold spanish passports

Only new players signed from outside of Serie A count. It's not like in Spanish football where the squad has an allocation of non-EU players permitted, there is a limit on how many are bought per season.

So Sanchez would count as one. If we were to sign two non-EU players per season we could field a whole team of them in theory, but you need domestic and homegrown players for European competition.

Sanchez is a massive improvement over Giovinco.

Cheesio is a misery guts, we just have to face it. He won't be content until Taarabt is wearing the black and white, #10 shirt and the Captains armband (a star outside the stadium for good measure as well).
