but they still did do it, that is the point, they signed loads of players they couldn't register and then somehow managed to register who they wanted anyway.Still can't register them so it would be pointless in doing so. No chance they will find that magic money as they spent most of last summer pulling levers and still didn't sign Bernardo Silva and it went to the wire when they signed Lewandowski.
Imagine if he’d disappeared to South America for a golfing holiday, then there really would be no coming back!
And a fantastic character sometimes is key when you have players of similar ability. Look how Ake has pretty much made left back position his own and is arguably in the running for our player of the season.Different club and culture now, we have very little time for rotten apples and it's clear the club heirarchy places a lot of importance on character as well as ability.
Not this time around. La Liga has said enough is enoughbut they still did do it, that is the point, they signed loads of players they couldn't register and then somehow managed to register who they wanted anyway.
Raphinha Leeds United €58.00m
Jules Kounde Sevilla FC €50.00m
Robert Lewandowski Bayern Munich €45.00m
No money, No problem.
One of us will be more shocked than the other then.Not this time around. La Liga has said enough is enough
It took them a while (most of the transfer window) to get the players you had mentioned to get registered and most importantly the money together. I don't see any of our players signing for them in the summer with the La Liga's sanctions taking placeOne of us will be more shocked than the other then.
But again they did do it and that is all I have said from the start, they will do what they want because clubs like that get facilitated to do so, like RM getting a huge fee from a government bank for training pitches only to be given the pitches right back.It took them a while (most of the transfer window) to get the players you had mentioned to get registered and most importantly the money together.

I get your point (and agree to some extent) but I don't think they are going to turn another blind eye this time around and there is not going to be a quick resolution. It will all come out in the wash.But again they did do it and that is all I have said from the start, they will do what they want because clubs like that get facilitated to do so, like RM getting a huge fee from a government bank for training pitches only to be given the pitches right back.
The Spanish nazi that runs their league is a RM man but even he failed to stop them last time and he will no doubt fail again this time.
the first story in the beeb gossip column, taken from a Spanish paper, a paper that will know all about the supposed transfer ban.
Barcelona still want to sign Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva and Manchester City would be prepared to let the 28-year-old, whose contract expires in June 2025, leave for 65m euros (£57.5m). (Sport - in Spanish)
