That's weirdly unfair. I'd they hire a hitman to injure a few more Barca players if I was their owner
It really beggars belief, doesn't it? For all we know, Leganes may have spent the whole of the January window fending off approaches for their player* from other clubs, just for Barcelona to waltz in and basically ar*e-f**k their season.Silly rule and poor all round really as they still have Messi and Griezeman so isnt that much of an emergency and it’s fucked over Leganes who now ridiculously aren’t allowed to sign someone to replace him...
Barcelona and Real Madrid have also had ridiculous favouritism from both their FA and government though.

*yes, I know he had a release clause, but we're talking hypotheticals.
I have to say, I view Braithwaite slightly askance as well for accepting the transfer, though.And what are the bets Barca don’t even use him!
The arrogance in how players are handled in la Liga by Barcelona and Real Madrid in particular truly beggars belief...

Yes, he has to make the best decision for his own career and if Barcelona come calling it would be bloody difficult to turn them down, but he must know that he's contributed to a horrible situation for Leganes. I can't condemn him for doing what's best for his life, but he might have lost a few friends by doing so...
Indeed. I mean once Suarez and Dembele are back, how much game time is he going to get? Unless he might benefit from a signing on bonus when they sell him on - just being one Barcelona's books will add a few million to his value.Seems very short sighted on him too as he isn’t gonna be a success there.
Unless they’re offering THAT much more money?
Wouldn't be surprised if they have better players in their youth academy?Silly rule and poor all round really as they still have Messi and Griezeman so isnt that much of an emergency and it’s fucked over Leganes who now ridiculously aren’t allowed to sign someone to replace him...
Barcelona and Real Madrid have always had ridiculous favouritism from both their FA and government though.
