Fuck, they keep buying talents. Future looks bride for barca..
Such a shame...
Theo would've got a much bigger chance to become a starter ahead of Alba rather than Marcelo (who is the best LB in the world without doubt).
I'm surprised Real went through with it but I'm not surprised we don't have him. Never needed him in the first place.
Atletico being emasculated by Real 2nd time this week. Third will be on Wednesday.
I realize we need to upgrade on other positions, but I am sad we didnt get this guy. He looks like a real deal. And could be a starter at LB for a decade, just like Alves was at RB. Plus we would finally have a wing back that is not a midget. Since Abidal left we only had midgets.
They went through with it because Barca were circling and they are greedy. Just like they went for Danilo.
Not saying we are any better these days. We got Gomes because everyone else wanted him.
To be fair, LB position is the one position they've been neglecting for years and have been overplaying Marcelo for a while now.
I'm more surprised they broke the gentleman's agreement and poached one of Atletico players. First time since 2000 this has happened.
Probably easier to take as tax doesnt need to be paid on top of the buy outs anymore.
Have they changed the rules?
