Because he’s nowhere near as good as people thought.He the bloke Arsenal and Liverpool were supposedly interested in a few season ago? Not heard a thing of him since.
The Whites weren't the only side interested in bringing Augustin in though. Brighton, Crystal Palace and Newcastle are also said to have enquired about the forward.
Manchester United were another who looked to secure a deal, but they were 'too late and too disorganised' in their process.
Looks like Barca are now talking to Bruno...
Being reported by the English journalists now.
Some good news - assuming he’s not a flop
Yeah, it's almost as if you shouldn't believe anything the media publishes, how odd?This morning I read that Utd won't go above £40m for him, this afternoon he gets linked to Barca and this evening Utd offer up to £70m odd?
Oh I didn't believe the Barca link, I was subtly having a dig I won't be so subtle in futureYeah, it's almost as if you shouldn't believe anything the media publishes, how odd?
Yeah I got the dig but my point stands, media will literally publish anything, true or not, in the name of revenue and site traffic.Oh I didn't believe the Barca link, I was subtly having a dig I won't be so subtle in future
For four weeks the reports were that Sporting wanted up to 80m euros but that Utd wouldn't pay it and all it took was a story linking him to Barca for Utd to pay the price.
