Transfer: 2023 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Edition

[Savi]

Thanks! Sounds like the average prototypical Brasilian prospect. Crazy good at everything except consistency and decision-making lol.

It's true, he even looks more Brazilian than Norwegian too
Apparantly he had a really good game yesterday as well, assisted on the Haaland and Odegaard goals too.

Winning money betting on sports takes skill to, doesn’t mean either aren’t gambling

Exactly

What I'm reading here is cgf is really bad at poker.

I actually have good luck with cards and dice, unlike my love life lol. I just think it's silly pretending it's not gambling, even if I can reliably win more than I lose.

Bono confirmed that Real Madrid went for Kepa because they weren't willing to deal with the fact that he'd miss time for AFCON. He was their first choice.

I still don't understand why Chelsea didn't go for him given that they went with Sanchez.

Chelsea should never have sent Kepa away. That was colossally stupid.

Mean while barca have to win with one hand tied behind their back. It’ll be sweeter when they finish 10 points ahead of madrid come may

If the league imposed wage limit can drop by 60% in a given season without other major economic news, it's not a sane system.

The skill required to gamble doesn't change whether or not it's gambling...

I recommend watching this video, counting cards is absolutely a skill.

Thank you SEPH. I can always count on you to see my point and elegantly limbo under it.

I’d love to see exactly how the league arrived at this figure. Since last season we reduced the wage bill by over 160 million and had a net transfer income of about 100 million. I’d say that is major economic news too, yet they dropped the wage limit by 60%. That’s not to mention the revenues, especially from match days, and winning the league. I’m all for some FFP and we’ll get past this, but they’re ruining the league.

On a side note, Madrid‘s wage limit is almost 500 million more and even Atleti have a higher wage limit.

They ruined the league. It’ll take years to recover.



Damn didn’t see this coming

Sorry I know you hate that. Diaz is off to Qatar

Saving some clubs but placing la liga behind the rest of other big European leagues

Maddison is, and always has been, absurdly overrated.

I'll eat crow on this one so far, hahahaha. My Spurs fan friend has been giving me relentless shit all season long.

Although I will note that I did say he'd fit in well at Spurs...

If Spurs fans want to jinx their team by boasting after a month of success, who am I to stand in their way

You did, and I didn't include that. Sorry.

We've been in the gutter for too long, let us enjoy this.

10 million is such a joke. He can go anywhere not named city and I wouldn’t be concerned over his future. But of course he will go there.

Worst case he gets buried in the depth chart. Best case Pep turns him into a midfielder.

You were in the CL finals 4 years ago. I would also be sad if last year's second place was the peak of our resurgence, but let's not go overboard with the revisionism

These types of signings are what will help other leagues grow imo

Tebas:

“One thing is what the clubs pay the players and then, depending on the cases, there are internal valuations at La Liga that adapts these figures to market prices. We have valued Joao Felix’s contract at much more than what Barca pays.”

So Tebas himself has said that we’re only paying 400k this season for Felix, but the league is counting it against us at a much higher figure. I’m guessing over 10 million. This is the bullshit we’re dealing with and I highly doubt this is happening with any other players.
