That Twitter thread highlights how desperate they are, they need to reduce wages by £200 million. The worst part is Messi is currently unemployed and he brings in huge swathes of revenue!

I don't want to come across as cynical but I really, really want to see them "do a Leeds" by having a fire sale and end up in the football wilderness for a generation or two. They've behaved reprehensibly for decades and need to be heavily punished. 3 1
Sly Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 I actually supported Barcelona as a child, mainly due to them being the first actual match I went to. I then adopted Leicester when I was 8 or 9, as all of my friends did as well and they were the “local team”. Whilst I’ve always enjoyed watching them win, even I’ve found it difficult during the past few years to like them. They’re a mess on and off the pitch. Messi not resigning might be a blessing in disguise, as they can then draw a line under this era and start a rebuild. Signing the likes of an injury prone Aguerro, Depay, Diaz etc, don’t should they’ll be a dominant force again any time soon though.

What a crazy lack of planning to be in this situation. Beggars belief that such a big club could not keep a track of its spending and salary caps

Ric Flair Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 French clubs don't seem to be overly bothered about their supposed financial ruin they are in, still signing players like they're going out of fashion. Has Faivre gone anywhere yet?

FrankieADZ Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 how much do you think someone will have to pay for Faivre ? would be ideal for us in all respect, little worrying we havent been linked with any wingers as of late tbh

Even ignoring that they'd probably not get more than £25m for him, I think he'll go for £15m

His goals and assist stats aren't anything special but he does play for one of the worst teams in the league so that arguably could be part of it. He has some fantastic underlying stats though. Being in the 92nd percentile for shot-creating actions for a bottom half team is extremely impressive. He also has very solid all round ball progression stats and decent defensive stats. 4
FoxOnWheels Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 I think like most of our signings a name will just appear randomly that we our trying to sign, probably someone we haven’t even been linked with
Leicester_Loyal Posted 6 July 2021 Posted 6 July 2021 PSG failed to win the league and responded by signing Donnarumma, Hakimi and Ramos. When they failed to win it in 16/17, they responded by signing Neymar, Dani Alves and Mbappe. They don't take losing too well do they? 1
jruizc_ Posted 10 July 2021 Posted 10 July 2021 For the ones wanting him here, he's nearing a move to Monaco for about 6.85 million pounds 2

Pliskin Posted 10 July 2021 Posted 10 July 2021 Boetang on a free? European experience, only 32 if he doesn’t command massive wages worth a shot? 2
Ric Flair Posted 10 July 2021 Posted 10 July 2021 Jakobs is an absolute bargain, I am starting to get mildly frustrated with us moving up a tier on the types of signings we go for as A) they cost more now so we can't sign as many and B) are harder to recruit anyway. 4
