burchy Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Have no idea who he is but I will without hesitation jump on the band wagon and whoop uncontrollably. No seriously though, who is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Alemany is a shrewd negotiator and alongside Lange and Unai, we’d be in a very healthy position in terms of transfer dealings moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 It'd be good to have a real breakdown of what he's done, as I know nothing about him. Don't like 58m euros on Raphinha tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceemo Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 According to AS (spanish media), they are saying that Villa want a heavyweight guy in transfer negotiations and Alemany fits the bill. Would seem that the Antonio Cordon rumour was actually him being set up to replace Alemany at Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tomaszk Posted May 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2023 He mugged Purslow out of £17m for Coutinho so guessing he's the business. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 If he starts work on July 1st will we work on existing targets with Lange or just the owners/Purslow or will he feed some through for completion once he turns up start of July? Guess we'll now be in that cartel of clubs that will help Barca evade FFP restrictions by taking some of their squad players on loan/buy for inflated fees. They can have Coutinho back for 40m as compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being told 5 years ago that Aston Villa would be poaching a highly-rated and well-liked Sporting Director from BARCELONA. Barca fans seem to really like him: he's got them back to winning the league on a shoestring budget. Genuinely insane.

But it makes him sound better so let's pretend that it's true A better choice of phrasing would have probably been "difficult financial restraints".

Those were some of the best and most highly rated players ( And young player ) in the world at a particular time before they signed.... So why?

He had no involvement in them transfers but all 3 had red flag warnings before signing They cost 350 million + between them and none ever fitted Barcelona way before signing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
