I think the club's owner's divorce settlement forced him to rethink how much he could invest in the club.

The divorce settlement ended up being somewhere around 300m as opposed to the original 4b. As it is, it;s simple inexcusable to continue selling off your best players year in and year out to turn a profit. They'd have one of the stronger teams in Europe if they held onto their players(James, Kondogbia, Carrasco) as opposed to shipping them off the season after they breakthrough. But that's Ligue 1 for you.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

It's a shame that he seems to be wanting to turn a profit rather than pursue prolonged success in the sport.

Exactly how good is this guy? Anybody knows? How does he compare to his fellow North African, Benatia?

Wikipedia says this guy's preferred position is LW? Neymar's back-up? :burp:

lol what? Wikipedia is wrong.

He was doing well for Toulouse a couple years ago when he was initially linked to us. But I don't know how he's been for Monaco. A beast in FIFA though. :p

I like him. He seems very Puyol-esque in his uncompromising style of defending. He also appears to be very vocal on the pitch, which is a thing we've kinda missed since Puyol's retirement.

The only predicament is Bartra who needs playing time to evolve.

Looks like a poor version of Vin Diesel, and has a name that sounds similar to adebayor's nick. Do. Not. Want.

It's much easier to get employed by Barca than it is to get a Uni degree these days. Profess your interest in the media, put your agent on the case, or just be registered with a dodgy sports marketing agency. You all should apply.

I like Mathieu. He's a solid rotation option and he even paid out of his pocket to join us. I'd like him to stay. Don't rate Vermaelen at all, but he's barely played for us so have to see how he does and if he can remain fit.

He might've paid some money to join us, but he knew he would get it all back. With the bonuses our team got from the treble Mathieu got all his money back, plus a massive profit. Don't get all the love he gets on here from some. Love him for those two goals, but he's very clumsy and inconsistent. Not to mention his big ass mouth.
