Barca sign Braithwaite

The deal is now official. Barca have announced it. Wonder how much dough we get out of from the sell on clause
 
Its around £4m apparently Block. Might give us a bit of an edge in agreeing new contracts with the likes of Ayala and Howson.

They're already looking to move him on in the summer too, so when he does leave he'll get 4 years of his 4 and a half year contract paid up, plus signing on fee etc for his new club. Nice work if you can get it!

Its a complete farce though, and harsh on Leganes.

Mental isn’t it. Ridiculous rule. I’m glad we are the beneficaries for a change though. That 4 mill will surely help in regards to contracts
 
I think we've only made a slim profit if we got sizeable loan fees when he went to Bordeaux and Leganes.
We sold him at a £5m loss.
Whilst that’s true but I guess it’s the unexpected nature of This deal that makes this feel like a winner for us. I bet the club didn’t expect his next move to be for 16 million pound outside of a transfer window so soon after selling him
 
Tiny team, Real Madrid.
That was also in a regular transfer window so it's irrelevant.
Btw I was talking about the buy out clauses not the new rule.
I know figo was bought I the window but the point is Barca we’re forced to sell.
 
apparently Barca have put in a by out value of £251m !?!

TBF he'll be out of the door once the season ends..

though a horrible unjust rule, they should only be able to buy free agent players.

Yes thats down to the figo factor as now when they sign a player they immediately place an astronomical buy out fee into his contract.
 
Apparently Leganes asked La Liga to sign a replacement for Braithwaite and they turned down the request! They are doomed.
 
He's such an undeserving little creep as well, hope he embarrasses himself there.

I didn't often agree with Tony Pulis when he was here, but he was bang on the money about Braithwaite and his dishonesty, ingratitude and ungratefulness.

I didn’t expect it to happen quite like this but I always knew this self serving 5hit would do the dirty on Leganes and walk out on them within 12 months of joining them. That’s what he does for a living.

He would leave anyway when they went down.

I hope he enjoys spending the rest of the season sitting on the Barca bench, happy in the knowledge that he has effectively relegated the club he loved so much and was so desperate to join back in September.

And in he summer when their striker shortage is over and he is surplus to requirements Barca will sell him.........to his SIXTH club in three years.

As much as I don't like how he conducted himself when he was here, I'm not sure he can be slagged off for this move. He's an average footballer who's been given the chance to go to Barcelona and most likely start the majority of their remaining league games with Messi and Griezmann.

I'm sure he's on a good wedge and will never get this chance again, then he gets to swan off back to his level at the end of the season with another signing on fee.

He's not going to start the majority of league games at all, front 3 will be Messi, Griezmann, Fati, agree with you're overall point though.
