Dear Barcaforum users. This is a message from everyone here at Barcaforum. The forum will be offline for the next 12 hours as @Barcaman has decided to take all Barcaforum staff for an all expenses paid night out to celebrate today's news.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Should have stuck to my guns. I felt this will be the case. They are playing UCL after a decade, a local lad would always want to play for his team in this tournament.
Really didnt think this was just a play to get more money. Well played.

Now on to my main point:

I think we should go for Leao, and then Rashy on loan. Fuck this shit.
We need to make noise now.

Good thing is, this shit didnt get dragged for the whole window, we have plenty time to move.
Leao has much higher ceiling than Nico, if we can just raise his floor, I am sure Flick can do this, he would be game changing.

Or like last year, I am still twerking for LOOKMAN. If we want a similar profile as Raphinha, there is no other payer better than LOOKMAN.
Just get him man.

Leao is 26. He's leaving it a bit late for that there ceiling of his. :benitez:

I think 26, 27 is the perfect age to show that. But his floor ie; indiscipline, is a concern to us.
Raphinha is 28 and he didn't show anything close to what he has shown last year. So I am good with age.

He is a better scorer, is far more explosive than Nico, and faster. Dribbling seems to be on par.
His scoring and explosiveness alone make him have a higher ceiling than Nico.

The Williams brothers are incredibly loyal.

Some will say that they will never win a big trophy but that's not true either, as both Williams brothers have won Wimbledon. :umtitol:

We are not getting Gyokeres for cheap @Don Juan Laporta Estruch

He has a 100m release clause now and Sporting’s President have said he doesn’t give a shit and won’t sell him for 70m lol.

How is this the same thing? Williams was never a Barca player

MonteCuler · Friday at 4:06 PM

Fuck knows what happened here, lol

I highly, highly doubt he willingly agreed to extend his contract. His desire to join Barça was clear

Even if he had doubts about registration - he would go elsewhere, definitely not stay at Athletic. But who cares now

Bilbao has leveraged the we helped your family when they came from Africa with nothing line over the Williams family perfectly.

Two sons know who could haved moved to bigger clubs choose to stay, over some sense of loyalty.

NW played Barca, Bilbao, Bayern and Arsenal.

Are some of the Barca players still going to be friends with NW?

Puyol and Figo were still close after the latter's betrayal so why would any of our players distance themselves from Nico?

Imagine some of these Barca players hugging and handshaking Nico in Camp Nou this fall 25-26.

I don't buy the loyatly thing

If there were no registration concerns, the deal would go through, he'd likely be a Barça player now

But the concerns were there, little doubts started... and boom 10 year renewal

If the whole saga was him playing us around, there was no need for registration concerns as an excuse to back off from negotiations

He could have just said, fuck off now I was fooling you guys all the time

You can believe he was fooling us all the time, but I doubt it. I believe he genuinely wanted to join

What happened then is a big question, my guess is something very shady and dark because nothing else could have convinced a guy desperate to join Barça

Let me summarize your post:

Nico Williams is a bitch.

Registration issues definitely played a part IMO, I said so twice already.

He wanted guarantees, they club refused to accommodate those guarantees and the rest is history.

Seems those stories about him wanting guarantees were in fact true.

But athletic also played the loyalty card, which is why he extended for 10 years
