Atletico Madrid's signings from FC Barcelona:

David Villa for ?5M.
Antoine Griezmann for ?20M (sold for ?120M).
Luis Suarez for free.
Memphis Depay for ?3M (no Carrasco).


Never make deals with Atletico again, they own us.

I still don't like this despite the fair play it will generate for our wage bill
If it was another club, yes, but not to Atleti

why do we have to always bend to these fuckers?

We didn't bend, they simply target players who are burden on us.
If anything, they are good for us.
Prestigious club (to an extent) in Spain that can pay good wage and are willing to take our deadweight.

PS: Suarez & Villa deals included add-ons that were paid. Overall we got like 10M or so for both. And removed massive salaries for players in their 30's

Villa went for 2.1 M. The add-ons were available only if he spend two more seasons in Atletico. He went to MLS after one season. So 2.1 M of euro for Villa.

Ohh yeah, and next year Villa and Suarez won la liga as best ATM players, while we were stuck with frauds in team

The Villa and Suarez sales were good. Getting rid of declining players that have no place at Barca, and sending them to Atleti who did well in utilizing them to keep the league title out of R. Madrid's hands.
