None football-wise.

Could cause serious ructions with Messi though.

Transfer ban?

 

[TeddyBoy]

So Johnson is injured but Flan is back...

I think it's the case that the owners don't want to spead.

Johnson was supposedly carrying an injury the last few games, that's why he's been on especially bad form recently.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Transfer ban?

Nope. This is a civil commercial matter.

A third party has been done out of a decent percentage of Neymar's transfer fee by the way Barca have structured the transfer payments in small chunks to various other third parties connected with Neymar or Santos.

I don't believe they've breached any UEFA rules, however.

 

[Jarnet87]

What effects will this have on Barca in regards to la liga? Deduction of points? Banned from Europe? Relegation?

22 point deduction and 2 year Champions League ban I think someone posted. They are lucky it's 22 points and not instant relegation.

 

[Kiraly]

DON'T COOK THE BOOKS IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME ROSELL HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah. The club and Rosell just come out of this looking like shitheads. Rosell might be fucked though.

@JohnSinnott 1m

La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting PSG have offered $95m for Juve midfielder Paul Pogba. No quotes though.

Sell him RIGHT NOW.

 

[LTWheels]

time for liverpool to be owned by some oiled up company???

Fuck no

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Didn't see this however:

Barca admit paying €10m to Neymar’s father in 2011 to ensure that the player would chose the Catalans over Real Madrid, who also wanted to sign him.

Given that the player was contracted to another club, that’s an infringement of FIFA regulations.

Not sure what the sanctions would be there.

 

[Timurid]

Sell him RIGHT NOW.

:lol

Shanks wouldn't sell at that price. :lol :lol :lol

 

[Coldnoodle]

Neymar lottery draft.

That... That is a problem

Surely there has to be something about involving third parties and how clubs structures payments.

edit: just saw the pre-contract post.

22 point deduction and 2 year Champions League ban I think someone posted. They are lucky it's 22 points and not instant relegation.

That would be harsh. I would love to see them relegated and see if Messi is a del Piero or an Ibra

 

[Jarnet87]

In the near future, players will be sold for a billion dollars lol.

 

[Dibbz]

Sell him RIGHT NOW.

You want to forever be stuck in Europa League?

Monolith's LOTR game looks really good. Some really interesting mechanics

I think we quietly added an extra year on like we did with JJ and Gomes in the past, they all have a clause in there.

It's a big 5 months for Younes, hopefully he's built up a good level of fitness to avoid any more strains. If he stays fit he will get into the team, no doubt about that. He was world class in 11/12.

AVB did not take his injury seriously enough, he threw him in far too quickly. Starting him away at City was just idiotic.

Hopefully they take/took the option. It would be good to get someone young in this summer that can eventually take his place in the side. They looked at Jedvaj and Lacelles last year so it's obviously a concern. Baldini should be able to identify someone if he's still around.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

:lol

Shanks wouldn't sell at that price. :lol :lol :lol

Haha, because Juve need Verratti. What is the point of having all that money if they can't buy the one player that will really help Juve. Come on you don't need him.

 

[Peco]

That would be harsh. I would love to see them relegated and see if Messi is a del Piero or an Ibra

Definitely a Zlatty.

 

[Mastadon]

According to BR, we have 15 players capable of training, and no imminent transfers.

Someone needs to lose their job over this.

Absolute farce, how can we be this reluctant to spend considering the position we're in?

So fucking frustrating, how are we meant to compete?

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Definitely a Zlatty.

Maybe Moratti and Zanetti will finally get their wish and see him in an Inter shirt

Damn, wanted the new Assassin's Creed to be set in Victorian London. Middle Earth will have to do though.

The architecture looks like typical post-apocalyptic fare, not what I want from a LotR game tbh

Rosell leaving Barcelona. YES!

pls Laporta

 

[Lambda Pie]

scummy cunts Barcelona, everyone involved in that club is shady as fuck. Messi should be happy though, Neymar is cut from the same cloth he is.

For pre-alpha it looks pretty damn good already. Assassin's Creed/Batman style combat/navigation. I'm sold.

pls Laporta

PUYOL PLS

 

[Zabojnik]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure selling Pogba at an insane price and having that money reinvested would greatly benefit our squad. Amazing as Pogba is, he's just one player and it's not like he's our Messi or anything. We only do these kind of sells once or twice per decade and that's how it's always been.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Mata to Bayern? Let's do this, Pep.

 

[GHG]

Wtf??? What is gonna do with all these midfielders????

Barca lite.

Or should I say... Barca major.

haha. assuming that's not completely made up: BAYERN ALREADY HAVE FIFTY MIDFIELDERS.

pep must be stopped.

 

[tri_willy]

mata to bayern??? omg at the united tears if true!!!

 

[Kiraly]

Wouldn't be surprised if Neymar was injected with performance-enhancing HGH as well

 

[Lana Del Rey]

Wenger showing his voyeuristic self again.

Yesterday he also said "I am surprised. Juan Mata is a great player and they sell a great player to a direct opponent."

Is he a self parody? He sold Van Persie to United a year ago himself.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Absolute farce, how can we be this reluctant to spend considering the position we're in?

Its ridiculous

If B-Rod doesn't want to spend, he's an idiot. Best chance for top 4 we've had at this point in 5 years, and we won't buy the clearly necessary signings to keep our noses ahead of Everton, Spurs and Man Utd

If FSG are unwilling to make money available, then they are not good enough owners. They must be able to see that depth is the key to the remainder of the season. Lucas' injury alone may well fuck us, and that's before even thinking of the other injuries

If our scouts/Ayre are proving to be a roadblock, replace them. They've had half a season to find some targets and put the feelers out.

 

[Feorax]

Absolute farce, how can we be this reluctant to spend considering the position we're in?

We're done for the window. It's so obvious Salah was our only real target, and we've been cunts again by dithering over Basel's take it or leave it price.

For reference, in the January under Kenny where we didn't spend, we were 2 points of 4th. We then proceeded to implode, partly due to our lack of depth, and it's remembered as one of our worst seasons. We just don't learn...

 

[Clegg]

That Bayern bid has already been debunked.

Nothing in Bild about it.

 

[Yager]

PUYOL PLS

I wanna see Laporta spilling cava all over his body while dancing in a club surrounded by women that accept money in exchange of giving love one more time. Puyol wouldn't do that.

Tag team back again.

Such a dynamic duo, be it as enemies or friends.

Man Utd weren't a direct opponent to Arsenal, just as Man Utd aren't a direct opponent to Chelsea.

hehehehehheehehee

:lol

Shanks wouldn't sell at that price. :lol :lol :lol

I would too. Going all out for Suarez, Verratti and a winger > Pogba.

You want to forever be stuck in Europa League?

we're not Arsneal, we won't collapse after selling *one player*.

and how are we going to be "stuck in Europa League" if we continue to WIN our league?

 

[Zabojnik]

Mata to Bayern might be the greatest thing that ever happened in football transfers. Which is why it will never happen.

 

[LegoArmo]

I think Mourinho learned from his time at Inter that selling your best players to league rivals is the totally hip thing to do.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

I would too. Going all out for Suarez, Verratti and a winger > Pogba.

Yurt pls. We didn't collapse by selling one player, we had been freefalling since 2006 until the bug-eyed saviour came.

 

[Kiraly]

Please let Mata go to Bayern.

I've grown addicted to all these sweet Manchester United tears.

 

[Kikarian]

:lol just seen what wenger said.
