the idiots that put the money into those new deals giving Barca the 300 mill should be sacked.

As long as Barca plays a City reject in their defense they will win nothing.

Come on, don't pretend to be naive.
You know that the financial rules don't apply to the likes of Barca.


Oh yeah. Silly me. I’m surprised they haven’t sold their European Super League rights for another billion. You watch though. When Barca go bust, firstly they will blame us and secondly they will get bailed out by Eufa and the Spanish League.

If I was DeJong I’d be knocking on the door saying now you have plenty of cash I will take my 17.5m.

I didn't know about this until I read it on the beeb. Last chance saloon and looks like they've spunked a good chunk of it already in transfers and servicing some of that debt. They've fuck all to call on after this so here's to no immediate success and let's also stop helping the cnuts out

BBC says we are linked with Benfica and Spain left back 26 yr old Alex Grimaldo. £20m seems decent money for an international.

And we don't panic buy. Can see us not getting Cucurella, going as is and paying the price after the WC when fatigue and injuries hit.

I would risk not getting him if that means Esbrand is gonna get game time.

Southampton have signed Willy.

It’s getting a bit weird now. Should we rename them to our reserves?

Not sure. Just saw him holding the new Southampton keeper kit up as if he’d just signed for them.

I blame Brexit for this!

Esbrand has only just come back after an ACL plus recent hamstring surgery - he's a big injury risk.
