Kid Icarus Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Barca know they're the football equivalent of a too big to fail bank. They know they'll be bailed out so they're taking the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 As I’ve stated before Depay wouldn’t be the worst signing at all and might actually be in our grasp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wages far exceed our alleged current structure. He signed for Barca on £230kpw. Admittedly, he may well have had to take a cut like a lot of their players.

ponsaelius Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Seems like Broja might be going to West Ham on loan. Seems a missed opportunity for us but a loan move where he gets to stay in London and have a load more chances to play with European football too was always likely to be preferable.

Fantail Breeze Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) How many players are successful after they leave Barca? It always seems to me that they are completely mediocre or massive flops. Messi, Emerson Royal, Trincao, Firpo just some recent examples that come to mind. Feel like I’m missing some obvious stars.

Usually mediocre as you say, but Neymar, Cucarella, Deulofeu, Digne have all done fairly well off the top of my head. Small list though. Arthur too, maybe?

Hanshithispantz Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Mediocre Messi got 14 assists and 6 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I don't understand why Barca pay such obscene wages when everybody wants to play for them anyway. Especially for players who are good footballers like Depay but average by their standards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Decent chance he's basically first choice there and will have loads of games. London lad and won't have to move at all. If Chelsea are only willing to do a loan I honestly don't think we'd have a chance of convincing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many other ways I can chop up the same stats, I’d appreciate it if you could admit defeat and agree it was an average season. Especially as I may have to quote Froggy and agree with him, which makes me physically ill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Well nah cause yous are both talking shite I've never claimed he was great 'by Messi's standards' so not even sure what yous are going onabout. He's 35 and was involved in 20 goals in 24 starts. His general stats are also still insane. He hasn't 'flopped' and he wasn’t 'mediocre'.
