Nice have an amazing midfield at the minute seri koziello and cyprien.
Koziello is the younger of the 3 and is an attacking midfielder but can do the all round job. Cyprien is the destroyer. Signed from lens I think for about £8mil. He looks very promising. Seri is an amazing player. Linked with Barca and PSG all summer. Barca signed Paulinho for some reason and PSG signed Neymar. Having sold matuidi to juventus they may come back in for him.
We have a good relationship with nice having given them balotelli for a 50% sell on fee.
Seri has a release clause of 36mil so us being linked for 22mil may be us waving the balotelli sell on clause.
Either way seri this year and Keita next year would give us a strong midfield.
This is what Xavi says about Seri.
When I was told that a Nice player was being called the African Xavi, I followed him closely of course," he told Le Parisien.
"I did not know him and I was captivated. I was no longer used to seeing such talent in the middle of the pitch.
"[He’s got a] short game, long game, tactical intelligence, shooting from distance, personality, game organisation. He would go so well at Barca. He can play anywhere in the middle. Seri is fantastic"

We tried the Welsh Xavi so might as well try the African one too!

Just Barca trying to wind us up by bidding for our targets. I expect VVD to be linked with Barca next.
Predictable transfer shenanigans from Barca.

Let them have him, they won't need Coutinho then will they Bearing in mind they play in different positions and are different players, in addition to the fact that their squad needs a major revamp, why wouldn't they want both and more?

Predictable transfer shenanigans from Barca. If Barca sign VvD, we could sell Coutinho for VvD + £70million, least Southampton will do business with them
