    RCD Espanyol de Cornella

    It was said that some Liga clubs consider getting relegated a profitable choice, they get aid money, player's contracts shrinks and many players will be encouraged to accept being sold. There was even a theiry that Valancia was hoping it will happen

    Busquets replacement

    Watching Amrabat yesterday, I think he is the best option we have in the market. He is one of the best DM around this season, play with great intensity, and he is the one who always shows for his teammates when his team has the ball, very underrated aspect of his game that is crucial for Barca...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    That is a bs. And Alves signing proves there is no way Messi new salary is related to his 1st one. S. Roberto renewal also the same. Which one? Lew is on 18M or so next season, which is significant amount. Also salary is tricky, every player who sign has a signing bonus, agent fees along...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    We can, when we decided to leave by our means. It is like asking when you can live debt free, while you are aiming to add a mortgage for a bigger house, and a new loan for your masters. We have a salary cap of 400M, if we can live by that year to year, we won't struggle registering players...

    No, Tebas asked for a vote, and clubs vote with majority for it. IIRC they decided to not even invite Barca and RM as they knew they will vote no (I might be mixing things). Doesn't make it any better, majority can't nitpick one club. Could have lost Gavi for free thanks to such changes.

    2 things: 1-Rules should have been relaxed for everyone during Covid, it hurt la Liga so much that it wasn't and it's consequences will have a long lasting effect. 2-Rules were changed in November, specifically to counter Barca moves, they made using levers useless, they made 1:4 useless too...

    Jude Bellingham

    103M base + 30.9M add-ons. 10-12M annual net salary (diviside by 0.55 for gross) which is also fairly high. Billingham is good, but he isn't cheap by any mean.

    The thing is, are we on 400M in 24-25 season? Rule changes last November is essentially a "sustainability " rule. We have to prove we can hold same current wages next season. So 1 sale might make us 1:1 for next year but we might still struggle with registration of players. Obviously there...

    Transfer fee amortisation. Essentially if you buy a player for 50M on 5 year contract, it is considered 10M each year in salary. A they renew, remaining amortization is usually spread. So all of those in bold combined for less amortization than Kounde for example You add Raphinha...

    European Super League

    ESL has lost the public support, so it has lost the political battle i.e governments This was a fatal mistake, because they became enemy of governments and a way for politicians to gain points. FIFA wanted the ESL, but they will never go against governments. UEFA has no reason to surrender...

    Possibly? It is clear arrangement. Same with their settlement with court in Italy. Juve new board is simply doing damage control

    Barca should be out too Every top club want it, every one is rooting for it. But only those 3 clubs are facing consequences.

    Not allowed again afaik. The Egypt and Greece thing is fabricated, niether will do it and when Saudi apply for it, they will never share it with another country. Not after Qatar got all one by itself. Never mind MBS is still in his 30's, he is patient. So far, 2030 Saudi world cup is just a...

    U20 World Cup

    That is a fair question, both can play DM but it doesn't look like their best position. They are more of a CM either as b2b (Diaz) or more holding midfielder like Nico. Nico is only 13 months older, and while it is significant at that category, it isn't that big either. OTOH, he has the...

    No. Asia aren't allowed to bid for any WC before 2034 afaik, as rotation policy from FIFA. They are eyeing the 2030 vision for the whole country, a modernisation of it, and entertainment has been in the centre of MBS vision. They genuinely want to make it a top 10 league in the world, and it...

    U20 World Cup

    Yeah, Uruguay is very good team, good depth and everyone shows when needed, well coached too. Diaz is looking good btw, still think he isn't a pure DM but I am starting to think he can get Liga minutes if he is loaned.

    Iñaki Peña (loaned to Elche)

    I was hoping he won't renew but for whatever reason it happened. Looks like Laporta's first tenure, we ran with Jorquera until injuries happened, so we get Pinto Whom we also ran into ground until Valdes injuries
