Another weekend Real Madrid and Barca don't win, get the feeling Barcelona won't even make top 4 at this rate.

Atletico Madrid's league for the taking. They'll never have a better chance to win it while Simeone remains in charge.

except the season they actually won it ;)

Pique injured with a knee issue that might need surgery. Could be out for 4-6 months.

Lenglet only fit CB at the club.

Sergi Roberto also picked up an thigh injury

Barca losing 2-1 against Cadiz and Real Madrid stealing a win at Sevilla thanks to an own goal despite only 37% possession. 

Wonder how long Koeman and Zidane will be allowed to stay on.

Barcelona have said that they aren't able to pay their players next month.

I hadn't realised that Spanish players aren't paid each month; they have two payments a year, one in the summer and one in January. Barcelona are having to delay their January payment because they simply don't have the cash.

One of their Presidential candidates has said he would have sold Messi in the summer in an effort to solve some of their financial woes. 

Both Presidential candidates are suggesting they'll start as soon as they can with the €800m redevelopment of Camp Nou - which one of them has described as being in such a state of disrepair that he's worried that people could be hurt during games by bits of falling ceiling.

It's a madhouse.

Why on Earth did they fight so hard to keep Messi if they are that broke? Now they have an extremely expensive and unhappy player.

Idiots.

There's a real danger in Barca being broke, Real building huge debts and United drowning in theirs - these three won't suffer a decade of reorganisation, they'll look to change the rules.

 

All hail the Europa Super League

Barcelona will be selling Coutinho in January or dropping him as they owe Liverpool 18 million of he plays 10 more games

Wonder if Everton will be tempted to loan him since James Rodriguez is always injured? Bit pricey maybe.

1-1 draw at home against Eibar and now Coutinho out and needing knee surgery meaning they can't sell our loan him out in January (or play him) which is horrible financial news for Barcelona. 

On the bright side it also means he won't trigger that £18m clause from his Liverpool transfer...
