is there going to be some kind of announcement today?
Fun time Friday surely.
is there going to be some kind of announcement today?
Flight tracker:
Signed him last night in FC and found there’s another Bergvall playing RB who’s one year older, assume that’s his brother in this picture.
But is he happy?The life of a young footballer eh.... Red carpet, private jet and im sure there is a big car at either end and a very fancy meal at a top restaurant in London I bet
You are right that it is his brother who is also a football player but there are three of them .
Lucas on the left, Theo in the middle is the older brother (the one you signed) and Rasmus on the right is the youngest (on the plane picture). They play RB and CB respectively.
Football genes comes from their mom who was a professional player for Djurgarden Women's team. The brothers have all represented Sweden at youth levels.

I did and you didn't but you've probably forgotten.If you had told me ten years? Five years? Ago that we were hijacking Barca deals and beating them to players I wouldn’t have believed you.
I had to look that up!Don't make me use The Simpsons' McBain meme on you
Funny cause thats exactly what they were doing to get players like Neymar and the like in.Fascinating that they're spinning this as a money issue and trying to save face by besmirching an 18yr old who simply chose what he thought was best for his development.
Once again the Spanish giants make a subtle dig at the money in the Premier League, all while throwing hundreds of millions at players. Nothing to do with the piss poor running of the club.
The second paragraph should justify Bergvall's decision if he has any doubts, he was joining to be added to the talent pool. He'll be a priority here.
As a fellow swede, I've watched Gyökeres a lot. Even before his move to Sporting I thought he was a better player than Isak. Even if Gyökeres doesn't score he offers so much to the team. He's a pressing forward, always on the move. He's also strong, has decent pace and is actually a good dribbler.Gyökeres is having a truly ridiculous season. What is it? 34 G/A (24g, 10a) in 27 games so far or something like that? Don't know if he's an Ange-type striker but the man has been sensational at Sporting.
not in a Sissoko way either
They made the mistake of seeing themselves as the product rather than La Liga as a whole. The league was so weak that they didn't even need Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann etc to carry on winning, that was pure show and greed and none of them worked out, serves them right.Funny cause thats exactly what they were doing to get players like Neymar and the like in.
Its also led them down the hole they are in.
The funny thing is, had they prioritised signings like Bergvall initially, instead of offering other clubs obscene money and players obscene salaries, they would not be in this mess.
I do like Barca, they are an institution more than a club same as Madrid, long history, and City/Chelsea/Newcastle are far more scummy. But it's a massive fall from grace.For real, if they think this is bad imagine how they will feel when we buy Gavi and Yamal from them on the cheap when they have a fire sale this summer.
Barca president trying to save face by throwing an 18 year old kid under the bus for not joining a sinking ship.
Vapid Barca glory hunters from 3 continents away piling in.
But oh…
Yeah totally.They made the mistake of seeing themselves as the product rather than La Liga as a whole. The league was so weak that they didn't even need Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann etc to carry on winning, that was pure show and greed and none of them worked out, serves them right.
They only have De Jong who has any real (€80-100 million) worth tooWhat people will realise in the coming months is that Barcelona are in such a financial hole that they are going to have to have a massive clear out. It will be of epic proportions.
The Barca Studios SPAC has basically collapsed which puts them a further €100m in a hole. Their salary cap for next year is going to be under €200m and they are currently at over €400m.
They have no more economic levers to pull and they will have to get rid of all of their high earning stars. Which, in many cases won't be as easy as some might think due to their salary levels and nobody in Europe has any cash.
