Jezus Unai now it’s done, Estupiñán also joining the Yellow Submarine for a sum of 15m. Dangerous squad they put together.

If we don’t make the right movements for LB (perhaps even RB as Chris mentioned) and CF, we could be out of the top 4, the way Villarreal reinforced this season.

I thought clubs were already warned back in June? We’ll be given a grace period with our partnership with MarathonBet, but i wonder if that will last the season.

And do we have to refund any money?

La Liga has started for some other clubs, so far no one has blow each other away with 3 draws, Betis were lucky to win against Alaves at the death, Sociedad benched Oyarzabal against Valladolid and had to settle for a draw with them. And Emery’s first game as Villarreal coach ended with a draw against Huesca, their team of Alcacer, Moreno and Chukweuze can be very dangerous.

Hopefully things won’t get too out of hand by the time Sevilla are playing again.

Valencia actually looked pretty good. Their new man, Vallejo scored two.

Dutch headliners are confirming, Memphis Depay to Barça for 30m.
He´s a good player, but I don´t think consistent and carrying enough to be the winner of La Liga. Depending on how Messi will act and play, will make or break Barça this season. Hope us and Villareal or any other contender can push Barça out of top 3 would make my season for sure, I hate blaugrana with a passion (or fury).

For sure im getting ahead of myself we have to prove our new squad can get those wins, just as we did last year to put us up at the top but i´m confident.

Damn - FC Barcelona - La Liga: Quique Setien announces legal action against Barcelona | Marca

That club is a dumpster fire.

HaHa, they do seem to have ‘structural’ problems at the moment. I can imagine that the Messi shirt sales are a bit subdued this year too.

It could be construed that they have tried to rob Setien of his team and breached his ability to form contracts with a new club, employment law takes a dim view of that. But Barca can also argue that their delays are due to covid disruption and claim ‘force majeure’.

It would be a bit hard to do that right? I mean they didn’t have any problem hiring a new manager, announcing it to the press, playing friendlies. A simple contract termination via email doesn’t seem that hard. :slight_smile:

Suárez to atlético. So now they have two asshole strikers

Is that true?

Then now it’s monopoly. By any token, the most and the biggest assholes plus Vitolo (who is a recovering asshole after repenting his move from Sevilla)

Suarez, Costa & Simeone in the same squad?? It’ll make good TV at least. :joy:

Verbal agreement only, the Barca board don’t want him going to a direct rival like Villa did a decade ago. He’s someone you hate playing against and is better than De Jong YEN and Fernandez combined but Sevilla probably can’t afford him

Sounds like it’s nearly a done deal. A deal upto 4 million euros is a steal if you ask. At the same time sending morata out on loan for 10 million. They have done good buisness in my opinion. But I’d imagine their supporters will be worried when he and Costa start together :joy: but all jokes aside if they can get suarez scoring. They will be my league winner favourites.
