Village Idiot

Allegedly they are the top bidders for our shirt, since the contract with Rakuten runs out this year. Wearing a crypto scam on our shirts would surely be a long way from Unicef.

What the bloody fuck man, am I not going through enough already?

Iniesta looked like an old man in his late 20s, not surprising tbf.

Incidentally, he's taking #10 - I love the balls on the lad.

Without a doubt, but he had a very problematic recovery from his knee injury. Let's see how he comes back...

I just realized that now that we've flipped Emerson, all our transfer expense this season is the 500k loan fee for Demir. Everything else (Agüero, García, Depay, etc...) all free transfers. And we've lost half our goal haul from last year in Messi and Griezmann. This is the worst transfer window in living memory, but I guess that's how things are after the Bartomeu mismanagement and Covid.

We've cut a *massive* amount of our wage bill this season (close to €200m, will see when the official figures are released by La Liga), will see if it's enough.

We aren't competing for anything this season, but if the wheels don't come off we should still have enough for a Top 4 finish in Spain. That said, we do have a crop of exciting young players so that gives me some hope for the future. Pity we lost Moriba, though. Him, Pedri, and De Jong would have sorted our midfield for the decade.

Man, we were surely broke. Let me see, if everybody's fit I guess we'll run out with: Ter Stegen Dest García Piqué Alba Busquets Pedri De Jong Dembelé Agüero Depay But the squad is paper thin.

I was hoping than when this happened it would be someone exciting... Like the Wijnaldum talk earlier in the summer. I don't get the signing either. He shouldn't see the pitch with everybody fit (forutnately).

I think this is the fourth time that Real Madrid signs Mbappé. Can't wait for the fifth.

Kinda odd that we'll sell him after just bringing him in. He's been allright so far, I guess we just really need the money. We'll still need a backup for Dest - rags are talking about a Bellerín loan.

Figuratively.

I want to die right now.

Yeah, it doesn't even rain too much down here.

Depay is the first Barça signing to score or assist in his first three games since Fábregas in 2011. He's looked certainly impressive so far. What went wrong with him at ManU?

Moriba turned down Spurs and looks like he's bound to Leipzig, who're raising their bid. Honestly I believe we'll regret losing him, although it seems this is what Moriba's agents wanted all along.

Memphis has impressed me so far. He's got more in his locker than I had thought,

You're allowed to be good... but you can't claim any kind of clout when you're good because rich arabs bought you.

Also, if anything has been clear these past few years, is that Messi loved playing with Neymar and sees losing him as the one single misstep where everything started to unravel (and he's not completely wrong). If given a choice, he'll always go to PSG. The year we won the CL with them and Suárez upfront is some of the best football we've played since the peak Guardiola days.

Yeah, the thing with PSG is that they aren't even a classic French club.

You know what I hate the fucking most? That the pandemic robbed me of watching Messi's last games for us. Since last summer I've been telling my brother than the first game with people back in, we should go, because this could be Messi's last year. But no.

Yes, it looks like that's the case. Honestly, looks like a bad deal since La liga will generate more than the fronted amount in the coming 50 years.

We should reinstate the death penalty for this tbf. He's actually being investigated for malfeasance during his stewardship of the club (he doctored the club's accounts to hide the fact they paid a company to promote his image in the Internet and berate the opposition/players).

My bet is that he'll go to PSG.
