Marc Bartra

[BarçaBarça]

We don't need to include buy-back. Would be best for both club and player to get a clean cut now + we need all the money we can get.

I hope he does well in Dortmund, but I think it is a gamble from his side: Dortmund isn't a huge step down in terms of quality - maybe he should have gone one more level down and worked his way up.

He was one of the most loyal Barca-players, something very valuable for a club like ours, he should get a lot of praise for that.
Anyway, best of luck to him in the future!

Cmon guys he was never our third option, he was not even forth option this season. It is better he left to free spot for someone else.

Sad but happy for Bartra himself, good luck and all the best, thanks for your service, patience and loyalty, hope you do well at BVB!

Thank you for your efforts Bartra. You were VERY handsome!

Adriano, Douglas and Vermaelen next, I hope.

Along Song,Montoya& Tello
And hopefully Alen & Samper loan deals will be done b4 preseason

 

[Chainsaw]

This has been going on for many years. Expect Verma, Douglas and others to go for free or us paying them to get rid of them.

I will pay them myself to go away.

Apparently we have obtained a first option on Julian weigl.

 

[Jombi]

I just love our first options. They have been extremely useful for us.

Apparently we have obtained a first option on Julian weigl.

I don't believe that. They activated his release clause and that's it. We got nothing to say. We are not in the position to demand anything. No buy-back clauses or first options.

Was that sarcasm?

 

[DrPepper]

Stupid. Should've been Bartra + money for Gündogan instead. Too obvious it seems.

 

[ThwiX]

Reading that our club is shocked that he decided to leave and thought he would renew his contract and leave on loan.

Player swaps are so rare, probably less than 0.1% of all transfers. For good reason. There isnt much point in them at all.

 

[Jombi]

Was that sarcasm?

yes!

Why are Barca letting good players go? First Alves, now Bartra, whose next?
