Mole_Toonfan Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I agree with that mind, not sure why La Liga clubs are forced to put clauses in their contracts. Especially hurts the smaller clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I agree with that mind, not sure why La Liga clubs are forced to put clauses in their contracts. Especially hurts the smaller clubs. It's Spanish law. Over here an employee can always break his contract and leave his employment, and this too applies to footballers (or any sportsmen, I seem to recall the rule was actually made following a basketball transfer). Release clauses are a band-aid so players are forced to pay a penalty for breaking the contract. And yeah, it hurts small clubs the most, since they have less bargaining power and any player that breaks out can then get scooped up by a relatively low price by bigger clubs.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 surely even barcelona, armed with 200m euros, can go out and spend it on 2 top quality players for ACM and LW/LF you might as well wrap it all up if you fuck this one up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm amazed Barca are making such a fuss over this how many times over the years have they done this to other clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Perhaps they can improve the balance of the team but they aren't replacing Neymar. They might've just been forced to sell a top 5 player in the World. Unless they buy Cristiano they're not improving their attack, with that said, Barcelona has looked so horrible defensively for a few years now that maybe they can do something about that. We're signing some Colombian CB from Palmeiras this January. Yerry Mina, no idea if he's any good. Umtiti I have a lots of hopes for. Him and Piqué are a good partnership, we lack depth though.

Village Idiot Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 VI, who other than Coutinho would you hope you splash the cash on? Dybala/Dembelé are the names thrown around at the moment. Dybala looks the better player to me, but Dembelé would probably more useful as a complement to Suárez/Messi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So does FFP just basically not exist any more? Has anyone actually announced that? It never did and was never going to imo, or at least not at the top. I think it was always hot air and probably of only any use to owners like Ashley who could use it as an excuse to not spend anything. Every other club, especially at the top, just ignored it like they were always going to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 As a sweetener it's not a bad shout is ADM. Can play LCM and backup LF. Guess he's not the most liked at Barca esp as a Mou era Madrid star Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if you went for Mbappe actually. Seems like a step down getting €210m for Neymar to spend €180m on MBappe. Or at least a very high risk move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
