Transfer rumours

[patrickblue]

I read that Barcelona are taking a massive gamble. They already owe £1bn but have taken an upfront payment of 300m in exchange for half their domestic tv money for the next 30 years and half their merchandising income. At projected levels this seems to be 300m now rather than around 750m as steady income. Seems insanity and if financial rules were meant for anything, surely it’s for bullshit like this that ruined Leeds and Rangers.

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

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.

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

[Dubciteh]

Rejected a bid of 16m for delap from southampton. Our academy really is paying dividends.

[johnny crossan]

Ake transfer back on according to the twitterverse - £50m to the Chavs now Kounde off to Barca. Torres to City

Chelsea fans saying the Tuc biscuit will be gone by Xmas .... you read it hear first !

Spanked off the arse and he didn't pull any punches afterwards. Ake is not solving their problems

According to reports Sterling wank in the game too.

[PeterParker]

Did Newcastle sign anyone?
Odd summer for them so far.

Par for the course. Txiki saw them coming

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

every season since 2016 apparently - also gash apparently (twitterati judgement)

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?

Wasn't he with them last season?

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.

[Mase]

Eric Garcia back on the bench for this season. Poor lad
