Braithwaite to Barcelona

[Erimus11]

Is this the Braithwaite who used to play for us?

Yes, and for Barca's sake, I hope it's Bobby Braithwaite who played for us in the 60's!

I’m absolutely gutted another team I like and watch regularly will have this little scrote playing for them.

Me too Block, horrible isn’t it. Barça are getting more and more unlikable as the days go by.

They certianly are, I think once Messi hangs up his boots I will give up on my love of watching Barca unless things change massively at the club. They are a bit of a shambles and like you say, are hard to like at the moment.

 

[TeaCider]

I'll be gutted if he goes there, I enjoy watching Barcelona and I was looking forward to him getting relegated with Leganes.

Strange move if true.

 

[TeaCider]

Sad thing is that he'll feel fully vindicated in spitting his dummy out and trying to force a move 3 times in 2 years here.
£9m on him and we had him fit and trying for about a third of a season.

Most strikers in La Liga have a buyout clause, pair that with Barça having no morals and anyone’s an option.

All players in La Liga have a buyout clause, it's the law.

He will have been in the Leganes manager’s office within a minute of this story breaking, demanding the move.

 

[ThatFragranceGuy]

Yeah we’d all naturally turn down a move to one of the biggest companies in our fields coming after us.

 

[TeaCider]

Leganes will go down if he leaves, likely even if he stays, but it'll be true to form for him to leave a club in the lurch.

 

[TeaCider]

What a pathetic rule it is, by the way.

Leganes are forced to sell their newly bought main striker against their will, outside of the transfer window, and aren't allowed to sign a replacement.

It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Don't mean to virtue signal but I have and do on a semi-regular basis. I'm not sure its such a given that every footballer should just always be constantly on the look out for a move to Barcelona or one of the other superclubs. That aspiration has ruined (or at least stifled) many careers, including our very own Patrick Roberts. Not always what its cracked up to be.

Good luck to him - they must think he has some excellent bench-warming qualities because lets face it, that's where he's going to spend the vast majority of this time.

The ruling that they're allowed to do this to the detriment of Leganes is completely absurd, I hope it **** up in their faces just like the Rooney thing at Derby. Come on Napoli.

Edit: yes I realise he can't play in the CL but I still want them to lose.
