It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

Just posted on Torres thread but ESPN (Marcotti) is doubtful the transfer will go through without Barca selling as La Liga will stop it.

Must be something we don’t know as he ran through the figures and said it breaches La Ligament rules as quoted fee plus wages.

Of course he could be wrong but interesting info.

They'll probably sell some cast offs to the horse punchers in January

This after Tebas publicly says he advised Barcelona to sign Haaland? Bullshit

Yeah it confused me though Tebas said they know what they have to do which could mean sell half their team!

Didnt he recently say Barca couldn’t afford someone but RM could? I don’t trust anything he says.

Edit….

In fact it was Haaland….

So if there’s bullshit about take a look at Tebas

Dortmund won’t miss out on Champs league.

Any team would miss Haaland's goals over five months, even Dortmund.

You're taking 30/40 goals a season out of their team. I agree that they probably won't miss out on Champions League football (because other than Bayern, the Bundesliga is probably the worst quality it's ever been), but they're definitely going to cover all bases. They will want a replacement for him, so there's that to consider too.

But the consequence is not missing out on UCL qualification. See how many games they went without him and where they are

And they will sign a half decent replacement anyway who will bag a fair share.

How much do you think that is fans hedging their bets in case Haaland doesn’t come?

whether or not its saracsm (and in terms of Barca it aint) he needs to stop it nd remember who is paying his quite considerable wages ...he may be a Barca boy and fan BUT there are plenty of other managers managing teams who DONT go bigging up their boyhood teams at every opportunity
