La Liga discussion

Did the ref keep his red / yellow cards and little notebook in the same pocket? Probably love to give the players some kind of heart palpitation!

I didnā€™t expect that they would move Pique to LCB because of Garcia, after Pique practically played his whole career at RCBā€¦

I tihnk it makes sense. One, itā€™s about helping a younger inexperienced player settle in. I also think Lenglet is more comfortable on that side, so if youā€™re having to move one player around as the partnership changes, better itā€™s a smart veteran like Pique than a kids still trying to establish himself.

I donā€™t think soā€¦

Lenglet is left footed. Youā€™d imagine that Pique is still 1st choice and then it will be down to Lenglet and Garcia to partner him. Plus, Pique at RCB would mean that he could help out Dest and Garcia could get help from Alba.

Interesting to see who will be Albaā€™s backup this season. Bloody Umtiti?

:joy:

Ouch. Even with Messi gone thereā€™s no room for him.

Heā€™s been linked with Marseille over the summer, if they could find a way to sort his wages.

I hope he finds a club where he can pick up the pieces and start playing regularly again. Itā€™s too sad now.

Doesnā€™t seem Barca need goalsā€¦

Need a defence mind.

Have we received all our fee for Coutinho or was one final appearances payment still outstanding? Do we have any sell component?

Lamela had a brace from the bench.

Not sure if he ever actually starts a match, the second was good movement the first was a deflection.

No idea about this, maybe @Kopstar knows something about it?

I thought we had received all the fee we were expecting, and that there was a sell on % however that may only kick in if a minimum price is reached, in which case its probably unlikely we will see any more money from that deal.

Weā€™ve received all of what was payable. As far as I know there wasnā€™t a sell-on clause.

I feel Barcelona is ripe for taking, by Saudi/Russian/Chinese.

Yet reports in the press today that theyā€™re looking at Lacazette and Auba :rofl:

Interesting in the Atletico game that Saul played the whole game, including creating the winner with a great run and pass.

I donā€™t know why agents are still using them to drop names. Imagine the panic on another teams face when the agent says Barca are interested in signing a player and not registering him for the season.

Iā€™m sure if Barcelona kept playing coutinho for a certain number of games they would have to pay Liverpool more money :moneybag: thatā€™s why they stopped playing him last season.

This is what I cant understand. If Wage bill is 103%, then they can not register the 3 players that they recently registered, not including Aguero.
