  1. We are looking for a sale, not a loan. So probably a BS rumor. Lad's got potential but he lacks composure and confidence. Night falls on him every time he gets into the box. But he does have great movement and skill otherwise.
  2. Old news. Pretty sure we did that two weeks ago. I wish we just moved on since I suspect we have no grounds, our contracts seem to always be awful
  3. I object to the concept of a Belgian #10. All #10s should be either Latin-American or from the Balkans.
  4. They can be rescinded in Spain, strange that your FA doesn't.
  5. 16m for Sam Clucas. Of course Liverpool will want like 150 for Coutinho
  6. I'm glad you had a blast! August games are always poorly attended because of the holidays. Add to it what happened earlier in the week and... And yes, take away Messi (and Suárez) and our side is bang average. Best positive from yesterday was that Deulofeu was somewhat effective against this kind of opposition. We'll need any kind of pace and directness upfront we can get at this point. Cheers VI, the attendance didn't take away from what was an amazing experience. So glad I went, the wife loved it as well. It looked full anyway and when the sun went down what a stadium to be in. I already touched on it, but what do the real proper Barca fans think of the tourist fans? We get day trippers at SJP but nowhere near the level and scale of Barcelona. One bloke and his kids came all the way from Brazil just for the match. People say the stadium is dilapidated, but I thought it was immense, a proper stadium. Atmosphere was quite good as well with the ultras? making a canny din. I liked the right back or right winger, the black fella, he did an amazing skill to get away from his marker during the first half which had many in their feet aplauding. August is always full of daytrippers, it's usually not like that during the season. People are generally okay with it, in particular if they are actual football fans and not just random tourists looking for a photo. I actually enjoy meeting fans of other teams in the bars outside the ground. There some resentment when seeing people in Real Madrid shirts for Clásicos sitting in the home seats, or generally people just buying their way into big games and keeping local fans out - but that's actually a very small occurrence given how our ticketing works, even if it always draws media attention. The stadium is really old, there's a renovation planned.

  8. Well, that wasn't too inspiring but at least we did the job. Now buy somebody who's not shit please. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
  9. "Man City sources" have denied to one our local rags that they want to activate Messi's release fee. Since Man City's football staff is mainly ex-Barça dudes I'm inclined to believe these "sources" are reliable.
  10. Don't Spurs have any kid from the academy that can serve as 3rd keeper?
  11. Howay Girona! Atlético down 2-0 and looking terrible.
  12. Wham still lost the game. Think of that wasted goal bonus money for Chicharito!
  13. Looks like we'll trigger Seri's release clause (€40m). Is he really that good? Surprised he hasn't gone earlier in the window with such "affordable" clause in place, given the state of the market.
  14. A new deal was sorted out earlier in the summer, to be signed in August.
  15. Damn, how the fuck do I fit him in my FF team.
  16. Where did you see this? Yeah, can't find it anywhere either.
  17. Messi's new contract is stalled, although he was supposed to sign this coming week. He's only got one year left otherwise.
  18. Damn, it's going to be Messi, right?
  19. We've bid €30m for Seri according to our press.
  20. Leeds -> Napoli -> Real Sociedad -> Dortmund Thank god I'm such a lazy arse when it comes to charge my phone.
  21. Actually our press says it was 120+10 addons. Madness. I'd pull out and look somewhere else.
  22. I think it would've been something like 90+30 addons.
  23. We've bought Yerry Mina (CB) from Palmeiras for €9m. Will remain there on loan until January.
  24. I'm not against somebody with his profile coming in - Keita was a great asset under Guardiola. Just paying €40m for a 29 year old who's been playing in China.
