Barcelona

Yep he's been amazing - just wonder why they need Lewandowski as well, unless (clutching at straws) they've been given an indication Salah's not possible any more

[danperkins]

They have some serious talent coming up, they are just going through a bit of a transition. Auba looks like a great buy. Lewandowski is unreal but it stinks of Barca trying to stay relevant and get a big name. He'd probably still score a **** load of goals in La Liga in fariness.

Barcelona have no intention of selling Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, although they want the Manchester United target, 25, to agree to a pay cut. (AS - in Spanish)

You’d tell them to shove it up the ass wouldn’t you! Stay but take a pay cut

[BillyCortez]

Lewandowski to Barca, will have a confrontation with Benzema of real next season, the current top strikers التحميل الان

I'm expecting bots to be much better than this after reading the patter from the one that was claiming to be sentient.

But the alternative seems to be Man Utd...

So they are going to have a lot less revenue for what 20 years having sold 25% of future TV rights ? Sounds like they’re robbing Peter to pay Paul what a bunch of clowns. It’s ridiculous they are allowed to do this **** while demanding players forgo monies owed to them. Not sure they’d get away with this crap in the UK.

They're basically gambling with long term revenue streams to get themselves back in order in the short term.

Risky to say the least.

What’s their out if it doesn’t work? Government bailout, La Liga bailout, change of structure and sale to an oligarch?

Good question! Feels like they've had Peter Risdale in consulting for them.

[SB]

If it as a smaller club they’d have been declared bankrupt & deducted points & relegated. I’m waiting for the day it happens to them now.
