    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    We were talking about renewing him to defer the wage. A club totally taking him was never happening. If anything the Monaco deal is too good to be true and I won't be surprised if it collapse. But if it goes through, I am embracing myself for his return for the last year of contract, or us...

    La Liga 24/25

    I was surprised to know that this is Rayo second appearance in Europe, I don't remember them at all in Europa league. Spain are likely losing that 5th CL spot next year with both Celta and Rayo unlikely to go far. They could do like Osasuna in 23/24 when they singlehandedly took Spanish clubs...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Tax cuts alone will save us ton of money my man. It is essentially half of his wages saved by that alone, then whatever Monaco pays him is just a bonus.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He is quoting FPolo here. The later had lost credibility last year, but he was the first to report Ansu deal which is almost done. Joan doesn't have many suitors btw. Arteta wants him as backup but their SD is refusing to pay his BO. After that only Villa is seriously considering him. City...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    It is MLS though, it isn't like they are facing a Klopp type of pressing. Mascherano did underwhelming job in overrated Argentine sides, so you could give him a leeway for it, but Inter Miami is better than the results and at some point you gotta run out of excuses.

    Hmmmm, are you sure about that? You surely mention it a lot

    13 - Joan García

    I would take Garcia over not signing anyone, but I am not buying the hype. He is above average GK with inflated basic numbers due to being relegation side. One season wonder, and he is overpriced at 25M for sure. But I would take that over having Astralaga or Pena as backup in case Tek is leaving.

    Ligue 1

    Edit: I realised I wrote too much, so A TLDR version is that I don't see a scenario where he makes sense in terms of cost relative to skillset. I don't have a direct opinion of him, rather than 2nd hand one. Essentially following what those who watch him regularly say. x "He is talented...

    Ligue 1

    He is mid for a starter in CL contender, but he won't join for that role tbh. He is more or less the 3rd winger for us. The thing is, there is a lack of talents in the LW position. Outside of RM who has 3 players capable of being good/elite starters in it, and to lesser extent PSG, I can't...

    Xavi Hernández

    Which one? There Al-Ahli in almost every Arabic league east of Algeria

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Why? This isn't the old 4th division format. It is fairly competitive for developing talents. Just build good team that is winning, let Beletti do his thing and get back next year.

    Relegation seems inevitable

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Mendes is getting the advantages of us pushing half of our La Masia gems to him, his biggest client atm is Lamine, by some massive margin, even Balde is probably one of his more important clients, with more to come. Leao isn't having shortage of suitors either. Almost every big club that...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Monaco is surely paying a significant part of his salary, we didn't accept that deal while paying his entire salary. Also important reminder that players don't get paid only at the end of the year, they are paid monthly and based on how long they stay. He waits until last day of the wondow and...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    We won't find a club willing to pay any significant part of his salary where he will be sure starter. Hopefully he isn't renewing/deferring his salary and if it doesn't work out in Monaco, we can work a buyout next summer so that he can be free of that salary and former hype, so he can go...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Seghir is like 3rd option winger for the two starter there. Yes. Mika Biereth, Embolo and Balongun if he is healthy are their CF/SS rotation

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    It is likely another opinion piece interpreted as a source.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Fabrizio said it iirc. Deco is the one hiring him, one thing clear about Deco is that he likes expanding his team. He isn't working with small group. And Steidten was hated by every coach he worked with and really wasn't popular among fans in the clubs he worked it. He isn't here to replace...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, he might have mentioned them because he was asked specifically about them. Almost every source quotes Deco but none says what was tge question to give a context. It is actually a bad habit of our media

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We are paying Paranense and Cruzero a portion of those 25M. We won't get any profit of him. Agent having influence is one thing, prearranged is totally another thing
