>tfw average player like coutinho going for 130million + >barca

this
same with Eriksen and Pjanic

Because they knew they wouldn't be able to get him.

>>78170621
Ironic

>>78170591
City would ask 23249332 million for this dude, just because they don't care about money.

>>78170591
His name is Kevin.

>>78170591
La Liga games requires players with high skill rating. Kevin is a very good positional player as a passer, but his dribble skill will not excite Real Madrid or Barcelona.

>>78170591
>could shop around in the Napoli team for several great players
>buy the French Sterling for 150,000,000 instead

just WHAT did they mean by this?

Do people actually rate De Bruyne?

>>78170687
he's like 87 on FIFA

I like De Bruyne

But he's very, very boring.

Everything about him

Can't market him at all.

Belgian players are underrated, not memey enough

>reddit spacing

>>78170591
isnt the point to replace neymar? coutinho and de bruyne arent really left wingers. Why dont they go for someone like mane or 'azard?

>>78170671
Napoli players are loyal

>>78170591
City have no incentive to sell, Barca know this. Liverpool are a selling club these days, Coutinho was a far more realistic target. Unfortunately for Barcelona, they sold Neymar before they realise that this window was all about muh club power so they couldn't get Coutinho in the end. They'll probably go back for him next summer.

>>78170591
he is really not all that good

>>78170758
Better than Coutinho and also better than any Barca midfielders though.

>>78170794
Paulinho is good

>>78170837
Paulinho is GOAT. Not a fair comparison.

To answer op's question man city has lots of dough and Barcelona needs to please the Brazilian crowd to not lose that market.

>>78170591
only south americans dream of playing for barca or real, everyone in europe is not a big deal

selamat pagi!

>>78170591
Well, most transfers happen because the player wants to move. Maybe De Bruyne just doesn't want to leave City.

>>78170719
They did go for Hazard. He presumably didn't want to leave, what with his brother joining Chelsea as well.

They want a cm

Kevin the brown isn't a cm

Barca will probably go in for someone Tielemans, who could be at least as good as KDB in a few years.

Fucking lel

>>78170591
Because city won't sell him. Simple as that
