£15.25m Club Record bid was rejected for Getafe midfielder Abdelaziz Barrada

[itchen_dan]

As the title says.

 

We failed with a club record bid of £15.25m for Abdelaziz Barrada late on in January window. Been linked with Man City in past.

Is he better than Puncheon? :-)

[Saint Garrett]

Maybe.....I don't believe much transfer stuff on TalkSport though, even though it says it was reports in Spain.

 

I am guessing he could have been the possible addition that MP was talking about at the end of January.

[Thedelldays]

Central midfielder apparently

 

Moroccan international

[Dr Who?]

Saved us a bit of cash, until we get the big pot next season.

[trousers]

Who?

[SuperSAINT]

AMC by all accounts.

[Saint Garrett]

AMC by all accounts.

 

Think he was our other option as we didn't get Coutinho.

AMC by all accounts.

 

Franco/Moroccan played in the youth teams at PSG. Seems a lot of money to me but I haven't much idea of what he's done since he left PSG.

[SuperSAINT]

Think he was our other option as we didn't get Coutinho.

 

Interesting. But I think Coutinho would've been more adept at playing down the right?

 

With the Verdu link as well, it seems we might still be after an AMC?

[Saint Garrett]

Can't see that, we've just bought Gaston for £12m!

[Appy]

Is he better than Kachloul?

[This Charming Man]

Can we all wear Fez's at Sunderland away in his honour?

Give it a rest, it was bad enough seeing you start off the Poznan on Saturday.

I enjoy it. I've got to do it 2x times this season. Shame we didn't draw City in any of the cups as well.

[Whitey Grandad]

£15.25m not enough? How much did they want for him?

they probably just want to keep him so the figure has to be totally unrealistic. Doubt that it happened anyway. There are probably better players available for less, like Younes Belhanda for 8 million euros. Just can't believe that the young bloke I saw at PSG could be worth anywhere near that sum now.

 

NB If you believe all you read this bloke has a 20 million € release clause and has been linked to every rich mega spending club in Europe in the last year or so. Agent with an over active imagination and unfillable pockets is the most likely source of this "rumour".

Same agent as Coutinho, there you go, transfermarkt lists his value as somewhere around 7 million £

Sounds like a load of rubbish to me, firstly the source is Talksport, and secondly Getafe don't have a pot to **** in, if anyone came in with that sort of money you could probably buy their entire first team.

[DT]

Don't recognize the name but the Fez is familiar.

here all week/gets coat etc

Looks like we'll be one of the biggest spenders in Europe again this summer. Top 4 perhaps after City, Madrid and PSG?

Don't think so, but I have been wrong about our transfer policies before. Think we'll sign one or two expensive ones, and thats about it.

[supersonic]

Can't see that, we've just bought Gaston for £12m!

 

perhaps this guy can play for 90 minutes?

[lloydie]

Could have been a target Jaidi spotted for us?

strangely strange tidbit here. When Coutinho came on for Liverpool yesterday evening the Canal+ summariser said that we also wanted him but only offered to take him on loan with an option. Where they get this stuff from I just don't know but as he has French agents I wouldn't be at all surprised if it wasn't from source.
