I have written well about Abde before, even when he was in the B team, but picking Spain over his home country if he does tells me a lot about his character. And it's not because of AFCON because he can't go anyway even if they called him up. So what happens next is his own choice only.

The original rule even without COVID is that you only need 7 first-team players. It doesn't mention anything about a forfeit for a red card if you play 4 B team players as he was saying last week. But who knows, RFEF/LaLiga rules are very confusing

' The RFEF regulations are very clear that a team can have 5 first-team players registered and up to 13 that are from the academy, then the game can be played ' So Xavi was bullshitting about that 3 Barca B players rule. Hmmm, why?

Xavi : with the renewal of Dembele we could register Ferran Torres.

Take note XAVI, one of the changes Arsenal made to become a real team again is removing their Leno from their lineup

Two players I would like to see us target : Armando Broja (ST, 20) loaned to Southampton, owned by Chelsea Aaron Hickey (RB/LB/CM, 19) of Bologna

COVID has taken the decision out of his hands anyway. He couldn't go to AFCON even if he wants now. So let's see who he decides to play for next set of callups.

We have plenty of forwards already when they come back from injury. If we're gonna bring one it must absolutely be a goalscorer and not an associative forward, especially not overpriced one like Morata. Xavi and his team probably just have poor scouting knowledge/range and are signing guys they...

We need to work on registering Ferran Torres smoothly first before signing Morata. BTW, reports that we might terminate Dembele to register Ferran lol

Said it since days. 'Exits' are never guaranteed. If nobody leaves Laporta is gonna embarass us and sign it

According to Sport they want to pay 3 million, which is only 20% of his wages. I doubt there is anything there.

According to Fichajes.net, the deal for Dembele to renew was nearly done, but after the transfer of Ferran his agent increased his demands, as he was renewing on a lower salary believing the club had no money only for them to sign someone for 55m at his position.

So where does Spain come into this? Do you think Morocco told him we'll never let you play for us again? In fact, the FA said the exact opposite, that they'll let him gain rhythm for Barca. He chose to play for Spain. Is what it is.

How do you know all those clubs are interested? Because of what Sport or MD said? Players get linked to clubs all the time, it doesn't mean they're looking at them seriously or will move for them, nor does it indicate what squad status they consider them to be. A top club being linked to a...

Gives me bad vibes. He already thinks he's better than he is. Instead of playing for his home country that called him up for AFCON, that has good chances of winning it, he plays for a country that will give him a couple 1 minute subs and never call him up again. Hope the kid isn't big headed...

We still need to sell to register Ferran, lol. The Ferran signing made it clear we don't want Haaland.

Xavi has said previously there is a rule of no more than 3 B team players, but LaLiga rules on COVID is you can still field an 11 with 5 first team players (so presumably 6 from the B team)? There may be a workaround, or a special COVID rule

We don't need another forward especially not of this profile. If we are bringing another forward we bring a goalscorer not another associative forward, who we already have Ferran, Depay, Braithwaite in the mold of. We need to spend money on defense which is losing us games.

Newcastle probably won't sign him. They have a good chance to be relegated this season and their income isn't high enough to afford player like Dembele as it pertains to FFP. A team like Man U seems more realistic, or maybe Juventus. Those teams a step below the top tier, but with money.

There has been news recently we are negotiating with CVC and LaLiga to get some better terms. It would not surprise me at all if we signed it now, even though that would be a shameful embarrassment, I've come to expect it from Laporta. Sign the CVC deal for Ferran Torres, but not for Messi...
