Confirmed Signing Yerry Mina

[chrismpw]

Have to say if Barca can get 30m for a player who has played less than 10 times for them and who they only bought for 10m less than a year ago and they don't consider good enough for them, then that's unbelievable business on their behalf.

Richarlison I can sort of understand due to his age and the fact he's already half proven himself in the division, even though I think we overpaid and it is a gamble.

Maybe if we get Mina it could turn out to be 70m very well spent on him and Richi. It could of course go the way of Klaassen, Keane, Bolasie, but let's hope it doesn't.

It's easy for Barca. They've seen us defending for the last year or so and know we're desperate. He'd be half the price if we already had some good CB on board and we're looking at him as back up.

I can't believe we're beating man u to a player, that rolls back the years (so long as the story that they wanted him wasn't just a strategic fabrication to bm the price). Let's hope he's the next Derek Mountfield.

Actually concerned right now.
CB is the main weakness in the side yet we need two CBs and have signed noone. We've 24 hours.
No accurate reports of what Mina has decided and only gossip about others.
Other signings have been good (and getting rid of some shockers too) but it's this position that will determine whether it's been a good window.
I hope that this post proves to be hilariously wrong.

Well Sport (barca's paper) have claimed it's sorted and there's no buy back but who knows what's really happening.

Kinda funny all these not good enough for Barca shouts throughout this thread. Not sure which is worse ?

Either

A) a player not good enough for Barca is not good enough for jagielka Keane Everton

Or

B) the only reason why Barca are selling him is because they have to sell him.

I really hope that's accurate by Barca but we've seen player gazumpings this window.

The unbelievable business was more the fact they got him for just £10m within the last year... Even Bolasie is being touted at 50% more than that.

I think we need to forget his previous fee and judge him on the job he does for the price we've paid. Even if he doesn't work out, chances are we would get the majority of our outlay back by selling him... If we get him of course.

I'd say Leicester on the way to buying two cbs in the last couple of days shows they feel they can sell to utd so one less competitor.

Confidence is the key

Well we got £12.2m for Klaasen and he played just 7 games for us. We only paid £23.6m for him a year ago.




Hang on, we're doing this wrong aren't we

 

[Agent Blue]

I'm beginning to wonder whether we should just bin him and pursue Lacelles, Rojo and or Smalling, it's all starting to look like the Iceland transfer.........dragging on and overpriced.
If he isn't that bothered about coming here stuff him!

 

[Moomin]

Not sure, he’s currently playing his umpteenth game of eeny meeny mineey mo.

Surprise Surprise, you with a hint of racism once again.

Well i never.

Let's not kid ourselves, whoever buys him is paying a hefty World Cup tax. Highly doubt the interest in him from a few clubs would even be there if he hadn't of bagged a few for Colombia. It's a risky strategy to be buying players on the back of a good tournament but with the window ending tomorrow we've left ourselves with very little room to work with.

Still waiting on what United do with this one.

 

[Azza]

Apparently United are put off the agent fees for him.
