Wouldn't really make sense for Barca to have all of Raphinha, Dembele and Ferran anyway. They'll probably be happy to shift Dembele's wages.
Barcelona are probably only pushing for Raphinha on the proviso that Dembele won’t sign.
So what's the bomb all about?
Barca in for Raphinha, not Frenkie related
Edit: well maybe they got a sudden influx of cash... So maybe related
Why the feck did they sign Ferran for 50 million?
Was an utterly bizarre piece of business that.
Surely Barca can only be in for Raphina if they have De Jong funds incoming..??
Must a been he had to go bad when he was on the phone. Bathroom closed for cleaning.
Get it on, sign de Jong, get in on
Get it on, sign de Jong, get it on
Get it on, sign de Jong, get it on
Turned out to be about Raphinha, suspected it would be him or Lewa
He dismissed that it was FDJ/Neymar/Messi related a few times on his stream
Murtough is going to do the ultimate hijack and hijack Raphinha from Chelsea, Arsenal AND Barcelona
A bomb how?
Aren’t the first couple of verses from Eminem?
Wait until they tell you all about the economic levers.
Pull the other one
how do they plan on signing Lewa and Raphinha in the same window when they have no funds? they need bloody defenders not adding more attacking players
To be fair, yesterday he was apparently Chelsea bound.
Barcelona have their starters on defense and they are young. It's upfront that they need to increase the quality.
I already have a thread in mind for the 22/23 season once we finish this deal. I'll need to practice my gif making first, though.
Why oh why you have to spoil it ?
If it is true that De Jong wants to stay at Barca we would be mad to sign him. We have been burned before by getting players to OT who don't actually want to be there. Hopefully just paper talk.
Di Maria 2.0 innit.
Araujo and who else is young and high quality?
García and Dest haven’t impressed at all and look squad player level at best.
My bad mate.
Ploy to extract a higher salary from us. Its clear he has already told ETH that he wants to join. Also keeps the Barca fans onside if the deal breaks down.
Very much confirmed not true.
ok....can't say i watched them a lot but i only saw the old guard out there in the europa games and when they played Madrid...Pique, Alba and Alves
they were talking about moving on from Dest, Umtiti and Lenglet
I don't know if its been mentioned before but I'm getting Di Maria vibes from this transfer.
They have also signed Christensen. And also pursuing two more from Chelsea.
Bear in mind that negative talk surrounding our club tends to draw more clicks. Journos use that to their advantage as often as possible, especially when a transfer is close to a conclusion.
They should move on from them which leave them with at least Araujo, Mingueza, Garcia, Wagué and Baldé. These are players that are young and should be given significant game time before moving to something else and they have the veteran players to support them.
Upfront as quality players they have Dembélé and Aubameyang, then they have two younger players in Ferran and Fati, Memphis is serviceable but not good enough and then it's the likes of Braithwaite, De Jong and Adama Traoré. Most of these players have no future at Barcelona and are definitely on the transfer list.
Of course they could sign a defender but it's not as important as bringing actual quality in the last third, especially if they lose Dembélé.
Edit: I forgot Christensen, thanks Rozay.
We've had too much of Bombs and Hijacking in the last 24 hours for my liking.
I can almost tell you word for word how his first interview will go.
Wasn’t thinking about leaving Barca, although he was not too happy about his playing position there, but once Barca and Xavi informed him that the club had no choice but to put him up for sale, there was only one club and manager for him. After talks with ETH about his position and plans for United and De Jong, he’s been incredibly excited about the move and can’t wait to get started.
No bomb, just a gassy journalist.
I guarantee it will be confirmed within the next 25 hours.
We are just waiting for the new shirt to drop before they do the pictures, that's fairly obvious no?
Is he back off holiday yet? Nothing will be completed until he is. Unless we change course under Arnold, but usually we wait for them to get back and then film our ridiculous unveiling videos first.
We've announced players on holiday before.
We’ll announce it pending medical. They’d be stupid not to
