Great, we are getting things done continually, been trying to offload him for yrs now... loan deal is better than nothing. Too bad for him, was a beast at first when he joined... although Xavi still playing Eric fking Garcia so we've still fked at CB XD

Araujo-Kounde will be the starting CB pairing obviously. Garcia's passing is quite good but he's suspect whenever under pressure.

so far Kounde still not registered however because none of the leeches wanna leave. Depay demands a crazy salary from Juve, Auba is stalling, Dest refuses to leave, Braithwaite says he "deserves a chance". Oh fuck off, you quasi-footballer.

they hold all of the power

tik tok tik tok tik tok

cut price FDJ deal incoming, 30M + covered wages and we'll pay him 400K a week then you can register Kounde

cant wait

Leeches is an interesting take as no one forced Barca to sign and agree to a contract with either of those players.

We like to harp on players honouring contracts but me thinks clubs should do the same as well.

I think leech perfectly describes a player excluded from the squad but unwilling to listen to offers

- JUST IN: Manchester United wants to sign BOTH Antony & Cody Gakpo. It's NOT a choice between the two. Gakpo knows about the interest but wants to focus on the game vs Rangers first. Meanwhile the coming 48 hours will decide whether Antony get's signed. [@telegraaf] pic.twitter.com/17PdbJ1hqd

FDJ
Dest
Gakpo
Anatony
new GK

all coming in this final week

we will probably sell Mctominay and maybe CR7

So that should mean either Sancho or Rashford would be enjoying bench duties if Antony is signed?

yep

Rashford should be sold if the PSG interest is conrete but he wont be sigh

What makes u think that though? Cos Araujo has been basically RB in all the games so far n if Dest is unwanted we only have Roberto as choice. Eric n Christensen has also been starters all game so Im afraid it doesnt look good. I hope not but it seems many teams are adopting more the 3 CBs nowadays... its just not Barca... I always loved 4-3-3, but it looks like Xavi loves these weird 3-2-2-3 or variations of it... if so I imagine ours 3 CBs be Kounde, Eric, Araujo?

Manchester United transfer chiefs have reportedly flown out to Barcelona to complete the transfer of Frenkie de Jong after the Catalan club scheduled a meeting to speed up a sale

Chelsea-Barça are in v advanced talks for Auba — operation worth around €22M fixed + €5M bonuses. @albert_roge @tjuanmarti

Memphis’ camp says the termination with Barcelona is agreed and as well as the terms b/w the player and Juve — the obstacle is that Juventus’ economic area is yet to give the green light to the operation. @santiovalle

knew yesterday would hasten the auba deal for chelsea, think he's WASHED now but they are desperate for a finisher

Juve broke AF, news at 10

Leeeeech.

why would he settle for less when its a big step down? hope he stays

EXCL: Anthony Gordon has told Everton + Frank Lampard he wants to join Chelsea. 21yo keen to play CL & boost WC chances. #EFC made aware #CFC ready to pay £50m+10m but nothing agreed; still want to keep him & need a replacement if he goes @TheAthleticUK https://t.co/MtuituPM0y

This is legit the first time I'm hearing this lad's name. 60 million???????

telling ya man this lvl of spending from PL clubs cant be sustainable long term, they just take casual 50M punts on players that look promising but could easily end up midcarders

anyway Chelsea going for this guy + Fofana/Maguire + maybe Auba means there is NO chance they are in for FDJ too

He's either staying at Barca or joining United

Just unreal

What is the logic in this valuation? I club that just barely escaped relegation, is slapping a 70m fee on a winger that has 4 goals in 35 appearances.

Football is mad

is Fofana to chelsea for £90m happening aswell?

hopefully not because they can have Maguire for 40 ffs

also Chelsea's new owners got the go ahead with the stipulation that they have to invest something like a BILLION on transfers and infrastructure improvement over a certain number of years iirc, they also apparently don't have a proper structure in place so are just operating like noobs, but its one of the reasons they're seemingly not bothered about overspending on these scrubs

Juventus prefer to sign Milik over Memphis for two reasons: An economic reason and a reason for attitude issues. Juventus are expected to make a decision in the next few hours.

Samuel Umtiti deal. Lecce are now working on add-ons details with Barcelona, as Spanish club will cover 100% of guaranteed salary but will receive add-ons based on Umtiti's appearances. #FCB

Umtiti's expected to fly to Lecce on Wednesday, as @DiMarzio reports. pic.twitter.com/HhvLz81tqy

So Umtiti whomst Barca recently offered a contract extension in January, has his new contract until 2026. His market value according to transfermarkt is 2m whilst his highest valuation was 70m. Now supposedly, he's going there on loan as i try to grasp this Catalan mechanism for money laundering, Barca will cover his gargantuan salary whilst Lecce will pay 0.4 pesos for each appearance or some such equivalent. Lecces in no way is able to cover a transfer fee or offer him a competitive salary.

Why did Barca extend his contract then? Why this obtuse deal? I was begrudgingly reading a, surprisingly, non-United article on the Athletic about Barca. It was mentioned that Barca are looking to define or develop a new type of agreement between player and club in order to register Kounde before La Liga. Now, unless the terms are slavery, or Barca manages to sell La Masia to Netflix. Because Juve ain't balancing their books for Depay as they go ahead for Milik, and Chelsea seems to not want Auba for 30m.

Scenes when Barca pull all these economic levers and loopholes only to finish 4th and go out the EL R32

Unlike Barca's the current Juve management is working with some sense of fiscal responsibility.

Depay would have been something like the highest paid player in Serie A if his demands in the media are to be believed. I wish we didn't sign Milik, but I also don't want Depay on massive wages and to be stuck again in the same situation.
