De Jong didn't seem that good at Barca, though admittedly Barca have been shite. He never seemed like the player to inspire them.

Sounds like a perfect fit for Mancchester United.

Who is taking bets on Martin Braithwaite leaving Barcelona?
More importantly does anyone think Barcelona can get him to leave with 2 years left on his biggest contract ever?

I hope a Braithwaite gets every penny of his contract from Barca and also that Barca are wound up and dissolved immediately thereafter.

Really? I thought he was good and getting better. They need all the younger players that are still on an upward trajectory that they can get.

My understanding is that they did the Griezmann thing again of spending stupid money on a marquee signing for a position they didn't need, and then got caremad that he didn't immediately pull the Copa del Rey out of he own rear end in a top hat for what they were paying him

Barcelona's finances are ultrafucked. They need to sell a player for good money if they ever hope to register anyone this window, and there's only a few players with real market value. Frenkie De Jong and a bunch of La Masia kids. If the board tried to sell Gavi, Pedri or Fati they would get lynched in the streets.

3:1 according to the La Liga president

quote:

[Tebas] Barca is a money-making machine. Of course they can get out of this situation, they know what they have to do. They are under the 1:3 rule for now. For every €100m sales that they make, they can use €33m. But if they make profits of €500m then they’ll be able to sign normally at 1:1 (sport.es)

Cameron Carter-Vickers from Spurs to Celtic on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee is a done deal

Very pleased with this , was consistently very good with us and he's still relatively young. Very important to how we play.

Yeah as I understand it Barca are very much still in the denial stage of grief for the fact they're a sell to buy team now until they get more astronomical wages off the books. De Jong is one of those I believe.

Just imagine the shitshow if they had not qualified for the champion’s league. They’re lucky that those spots aren’t as competitive as they are in the English league.

He would cost silly money though, same with Saint maximin - one of the best players of a mid table club with aspirations and worth much more to the current club than the buying club.

Hoping to see the Djed Spence deal confirmed soon

Conte seems to want a big forward. Linked with scamacca and kalajdzic also. Honestly, I'd be fine with just signing a load of shithouses. Romero is brilliant to watch when he is on your side.

6 years and 80m for a player who had a good game against you. I'm sure they employ loads of scouts at Liverpool who've done loads of pivot tables (and of course money doesn't matter anymore) but that just feels like a massive gamble. Congrats to benfica on Getting Paid yet again though

Yeah he might turn out to be a world beater, but 85 mil for a player with 1 season of elite football seems completely insane to me

Liverpools transfer strategy has involved “played great against us” for years. All of the data/recruitment expert stuff in the news is mostly cover for it.

It works so maybe other teams should try.

That's how/why Man Utd signed a kid named Ronaldo who was supposed to sign for Arsenal. Not sure how it ended up working out.

They basically signed Mane for the same reasons, played well against, but at least he had a better track record for high level play for longer.

sounds like nunez has a medical tomorrow. not totally sure how i feel about this transfer, feels a little bit like keeping up with the joneses in a bad way. hopefully he scores a lot of goals though its been ages since liverpool have played with a real striker. kinda think a midfielder is needed more than another forward tho

I don't get this reasoning. It's 64m for a player with 1 season of elite football. If he's good enough to trigger the remaining 21m, the deal will have presumably been a sweeping success.
