Probably had a ton of decent offers in the summer. He cost La Real 15m less than what we signed Wesley for! I believe though Dortmund do have a buy back on him.

villa4europe Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) its a rule in the league so they can, they also have the larger problem that they have a shit squad anyway, 25 man squad and wiki currently has them as having registered 20 players, 3 of them are youngsters whether or not they will is another thing, they wont find a decent priced striker now, linked with willian jose, them fixing the problem with a fairly average player for around £20m more than he's actually worth would sum barca up Edited February 14, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 If true this would be pretty bad even by Barcelona standards. Quote Barça hired a company to clean Bartomeu's image and harm players, former players and opponents Barcelona has hired a company, I3 Ventures, to create statements of opinion through social networks. The objective is to protect the reputation of Josep Maria Bartomeu and clean his image and that of the entire Board and damage, instead, that of former players, footballers and opponents of the Directive, as revealed by the Què t'hi jugues program . The company hired by the culé entity manages up to almost a hundred Twitter and Facebook accounts where characters such as Messi, Antonela, Piqué, Guardiola, Xavi, Puyol, Laporta, Benedito, Jaume Roures, Víctor Font or Puigdemont and Junqueras have been attacked . In these accounts, for example, they attack Messi for his delay in renewing, Piqué for his business with the Davis Cup and players in general accusing them of being well-off. The beginning of these accounts is 2017 and the comments are varied, both in people and in the attacks they make. The goal is to preserve Bartomeu's reputation . https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2020/02/17/5e4a7be422601d04228b45ff.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So it looks like barca who have an injured player will sign Martin Braithwaite from leganes Leganes are not allowed to sign a replacement and will probably be relegated as a result Stupid rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Braithwaite scored 8 in 40 games for Boro and couldn't get in their team half the time, hilarious if Barca sign him for 15m as rumoured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 All before a massive relegation six pointer against Celta Vigo on Saturday. Got to feel for Leganes. Unnecessary from Barcelona, they have so many forward thinking options, they surely could have coped ffs. How thats allowed is ridiculous, especially the not allowing Leganes to replace him bit. Ah well, he looks like Chris Brown on crack anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Barca and Leganes face each other on March 22nd. Should be fun. Can't really fault the player for moving to Barca, who wouldn't in his situation but I'd be worried to play in that game if I was him. Likely to get his legs snapped. Probably not feature much anyway but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Completely unfair on Leganes. Essentially Barca have paid them to have their lack of forward options with the added Brucey Bonus of not being allowed to get a replacement themselves. this special treatment by la liga towards the bigger clubs is more corrupt behaviour by footballing authorities. this will set a precedent now and the transfer window could become a thing of the past.

sne Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Ligue 1 had this rule for years where the clubs were allowed to sign 1 player from a domestic club after the transfer window had closed. But I'm pretty sure it involved both clubs agreeing on the deal and release clauses are not compulsory in Ligue !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
