    Martin Braithwaite

    Yeah I mean I agree, but its not up to LFP, its up to some governing body of the state. If they really insist on buy out clauses, they should be set to some multiplier of the salary or something like that. So if the club wants to set a high buy out clause the salary will have to reflect that...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Went to google and wrote braithwaite tra (thinking it would be enough to get me to braithwaite's transfermarkt page, this always works) ended up at a wikipedia page for the lovely Braithewaite train station situation on the magnificently named "Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway"

    La Liga 2019/20

    Good subs by Zidane to change focus of their play. Odd sub by Simeone and they lost a central focal point. Not over yet ofcourse but it isnt often Simeone is out-coached

    Setien would rather be drowned in his cows' milk than play (any) counter attack

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Rodrigo isnt even a number 9. Will probably score a couple of goals anyway but yeah, another square peg in a round hole

    14 - João Félix

    I think we might be witnessing their inevitable return to mid table mediocrity. I dont know if guys are too young here on the board to remember how much of a non-entity Atletico used to be. Simeone done brilliantly but they've also been very good in the transfer market, replacing their class...

    God Atletico Madrid is spectacularly dreary to watch this season

    Erling Braut Haaland

    His father is Alf-Inge Håland who played for Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Man City so the kid might favour the PL after Dortmund

    7 - Ferran Torres

    Better stats than Joao Felix and one year younger. One of those kids that are growing into something special in the shadows away from the hype

    Ernesto Valverde

    Setiens Betis was utterly tooth-less and spent most of the time passing between the centre backs. However, the attacking power he had at his disposal was abysmal so he'll prolly fare much better at Barca. Where's the comunicado oficial though? been 20 mins now!

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    Looked good despite having been on vacation for a couple of years in the MLS. Atleast in comparison with the rest of the Milan team. Tbh they're all a bit shit. Watched the highly rated Rafael Leao look dumber than a bag of gravel and Lucas Pacqueta, more like Lucas Pacquete eh

    Ousmane Dembélé

    If your main contributions to the team is misplacing piss easy passes and continually making the wrong decisions on the pitch, the few minutes you're actually fit to be there, then you can't really afford to not give 110% for the club, all day, everyday. He needs a strong coach/leader to make...

    La Liga 2019/20

    Hopefully all teams turn up with the intention to play this like a proper final (well, tournament) but given the fact that the spanish FA fcuked over Valencia there's rumours saying they will play second string players only

    Arturo Vidal

    Most likely the clause in the contract is not defined well enough. The intention was probably to take the sum of the eligible matches, i.e the sum of the binary condition: if he played more than or equal to 45 mins in this match, or not. Instead I belive his lawyers are claiming that the...

    Your choices for valverde replacement

    I dont think even Klopp would have the dinosaurs in the Barca squad able to press like he wants his teams to. Not a good match. And Koeman is just awful, clueless and arrogant. Ruben Baraja even said that they won that cup final because the players ignored Koeman's tactical advice

    14 - João Félix

    Not impressed (yet) 19 year old Ferran Torres beats Felix in goals and assists already with roughly same minutes

    3 - Gerard Pique

    lmao this guy has clocked out from being a player some time ago. This is him making sure everyone sees him as this big, powerful, influential guy at Barca. Pure PR for his career after football. He's not stupid, he knows what he's doing. However, any coach with any resemblance of a tiny...

    Luis Enrique

    Childish from LE. There was no need to label Moreno as disloyal. For what? Wanting to continue managing the team for the coming tournament? He's shown himself to be more than capable of doing so, any coach with any resemblance of ambition would've asked to continue to manage the team. Of course...
