I hope that sale to Southampton includes a 3x price buy back option with the ability for an immediate loan to Italy.we probably sell him back to Southampton at some point
Or even pay their existing players money that is still owed to them e.g. De Jong.Well despite all their issues Barca snapped up Raphinha this week and now have a deal at up for Lewa:

Truly amazing... I mean how can they spend around 90mill on those two but cannot find 10-15mill to sign Dave and Alonso?
It is so wrong the football authorities allow them to spend money on new players when they owe their current players back pay. Yet we got banned for operating normally because our former owner is Russian...Or even pay their existing players money that is still owed to them e.g. De Jong.
And corruption. They are selling future rights. Its appalling that they are able to do all this when being technically bankrupt. Surely this means all bets are off now for the rest of us as well. If Uefa and FIFA are this gutless or bent then fck ffp, its a free for all. Derby County must be kicking themselves that they are not in La LigaAnd Barcelona was one of the main teams who was behind the Super League and they got all upset about British teams still spending money after Covid.
It's literally a future mortgage what they are doing now yet UEFA & FIFA have turned a blind eye to it all.
If that isn't the very definition of living above your means then I don't what is.

What‘s he like?would be nice
Make no mistake, if this was Betis, Athletic Bilbao, Celta or any other team, they’d be relegated and would possibly face disappearing. It’s not the first “historic” team to have disappeared in Spain. Barcelona are the darlings and they have more leniency from the Spanish RFEF and so on. However, they can’t register players unless they demonstrate that they spend 1€ from 4€ saved. Football authorities can’t deny them the right to sign players, La Liga is denying them the right to register them unless they become economically viable.And corruption.

One the stats anylisers the club has hired have thrown in to the hat perhaps?would be nice
i saw him play a couple of times when watching Aston Villa games, mostly as a substitute, he often brought some urgency to the team and attacking impulseWhat‘s he like?
remember seeing his name pop up at times (and he‘s got a nice name to memorize) but that had nothing to do with Chelsea
Im thinking Todd Boehly learned a lot from his meal in Spain...The fee won’t matter, probably won’t ever get it in full anyway.
would rather a lower fee and all up front, I’ve no idea how Barca are actually operating and signing players.
Gavi, Nico & Pedri are the only players i would take from Barcelona. we need to stay well clear of Dest & DepayIm thinking Todd Boehly learned a lot from his meal in Spain...
they are desperate for cash
we wont get paid unless its in instalments
we like swap deals but not at the risk of taking on substandard players
let them chase after every player thats available and even buy a few / beat us to them - use up what credit they have, then choose our real targets.
if they need cash do all we can to avoid giving them cash
Azpi & Marcos' price should nice a firm and /or the swaps should be in our favour
oh and he had a nice meal

reminds me a bit of RLC, tall but technical, likes to dribble and drive through midfield
ChuckyWould be a great replacement for Dave.
