Confirmed Signing Yerry Mina

[Snake pit]

At the end of the day we have to trust Brands and Silvas judgement on this, they haven't done too badly with Digne and rRcharlison. They i'm sure have an idea how we want to play ulitmately and are buying players to suit. We may not play that way straight away as we might not be able to fill those positions with the right players

 

[Bebeto]

Barca just playing the game, they know that we are desperate, so of course the price will just keep going up.

Still think he will be dragged here kicking and screaming.

No doubt he will tell us how he supported Everton as a yoot while slinging packs for the cartels.

Barca needs the money to balance books also in order to go for big targets before window closes. They will not get a better offer than ours and they know it...this is now just a waiting game.

He’d better have gone back as far as seeing play for his school team.

..I remember reading the two teams he played for in S America both won their league. Not sure about his school team, though.

Good to see the Spirit of The Transfer Virgin alive and blossoming in this thread. Outstanding bed pissing all round.

Big fan of people having an opinion of how his guy plays.

When I’m almost certain at least 97% of you hadn’t even heard of him until the World Cup. Like me.

I’d say 99.5785% of people never heard of him before the World Cup

I hadn't heard of him until the 93rd minute of the England game.

doesn't sound great....



Barcelona] coach Ernesto Valverde decided he could not count on Mina and more often than not he didn’t even make the substitutes bench, with Thomas Vermaelen the preferred reserve to Pique and Samuel Umtiti.
And when Mina did play, Barcelona tended to suffer. Their defence was tight on their title charge, conceding just 29 goals in 38 league games.

Almost a quarter of those goals were spread out over just three games in which Mina was on the pitch - and he only made five league appearances in total.

The worst of those matches was the debacle at Levante, in Barcelona’s penultimate match of a thus-far unbeaten league season.

Paired with Vermaelen in defence, ‘Tom and Yerry’ came up with comically bad defending as Barcelona suffered a 5-4 defeat, ruining their chances of surviving the season without a single defeat.

Mina started his Barcelona career reasonably well, impressing personally during a disappointing 0-0 draw with Getafe, but the Madrid minnows were not able to cause much trouble.

As soon as he came up against craftier opponents, his flaws were exposed.”

Will complement Keane perfectly

Spanish publications now saying we have tabled a bid of 26.5m and uncle is urging Barcelona to hurry up with negotiations and get this done.

Again, could be speculation but says we have been negotiating for two weeks. Really strange because could have got it done with Digne.

Really feels like he is hanging on until no better option appears.

We NEED cbs. Saturday will again highlight this.

That’s very precise. Are you a RAWK infiltrator?

That’s very precise. Are you a RAWK infiltrator?

How very dare you
That figure came straight out of my arse

 

[PITA]

How very dare you

So you are a RAWK infiltrator.

Either Barca are daft and asking for way too much or Mina and uncle are hustling for a move to United or Lyon.

 

[bluestevon]

Will end up signing for us as we are the best option he has in reality.

Just from the world cup, he's brilliant in the air, powerful and a battler, none of the other center backs at the club have any of those qualities, so a good signing.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I'd genuinely prefer Lascelles, and by some distance too. Northern Echo reporting we're going all in on Lascelles too, which is wonderful. Be buzzing if we pull it off.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Please get Lascelles, he will be a very positive addition.

For some reason I prefer him to this 'playing hard to get, c*ck tease'
