Romano says that Xavi and Martinez are on their current wishlist. I think the Pirlo rumour was rejected a few days ago.
Xavi was the one they tried for earlier wasnāt it? Martinez is probably the guy they can sack easier if it goes wrong 
What would be funny is if Big Sam went in there and turned it all around 
Well, the bar is set pretty low.
Koeman - he probably doesnāt give a shit considering heās been treated like shit. Heās due to be paid out handsomely, regardless if they sack him or not. If I were Ronald, Iād dig my heels in and publicly call out Barca for being a bunch of self entitled, poor as fuck, cunts - albeit maybe after heās received his severance payments.
I think rather than make him not give a shit, I think that likely makes him free to do what he thinks he needs to do to be successful. Heās a prideful guy. There is no way heās going to go through the motionsā¦at least not until he knows the decisions has been made.

Any managerial payouts usually come with a Do Not Disclose waiver meaning they can never truly vent their feelings.
Shame reallyā¦ some managers you can imagine letting rip (Mourinho)
Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams broke the record for most consecutive games in La Liga history as his side beat Alaves 1-0.
The Spaniard, 27, played his 203rd successive match surpassing the record held by former Real Sociedad defender Juan Larranaga from 1986-1992.
Williamsā streak started on 20 April 2016 and he has managed 39 goals and 25 assists in that time.

Real lose away to Espanyol 2-1. LaLiga is so poor now.

More of a level playing field for sure.
Espanol could have had a third, Real could have equalized. An interesting but not a high quality game. Happy for Real.
Thing is the quality wasnāt amazing when they shoot 5 past any random team. I think I prefer competitive over show boating.
Though Iād take us winning comfortably a few more times a season.

Those release clauses in Spain are a joke.
If someone makes a Ā£120m bid Barca wouldnāt hesitate to sell.

Gone under the radar a bit, but for all the focus there was on it being a bad omen them selling Moriba, they just went and installed a younger replacement, Gavi, straight into the first team who has now already got his first Spanish cap.

Is it possible to buy at that price without breaking the FFP?
