Well, they will pull away, because their squads are already better and more complete than ours.

More importantly it writes off our chances this season.
Traore to Barca but deemed not good enough for us by many here
Barcelona are dogshit now to be fair.
Thata because they already have the players to pull away if they start hitting form
But they got some games out of him while his price dropped (he did help them win some points).
At least the good thing from missing out on him is that levy should be so embarassed from this failure that he will end up forcing himself to buy something. Hopefully that something isnt a panic buy like Sissoko.
As opposed to us, who are really going places!
However underwhelming GLC has been for us, I think his fitness is a bigger issue than his form. No one will give us money for a player who has been perpetually injured until it's time for and Argentina game.
With Ndombele I'd imagine no-one will give us any money for someone with his reported attitude, all we can do is loan the pair of them out and hope that in new surroundings both of these issues simply dissipate, at least for long enough for the buying clubs to decide they're worth parting with cash money for.
One thing I'll say is there is no way we have only just found out about him not wanting RWB, he was just biding his time for a better offerMendes had an idea that Barca wanted him as Barca's interest did not just happen overnight. And they were liked to him before as well but due to their financial mess were unable to finalize a deal. Now they managed.
And it is not unusual for a club and a player to wait for better offers.
Besides, if the reports are true (neither your nor I can claim to know that right now) that Traore did not want to play RWB, well, that in itself shows he was not ready to join Spurs.
Already back in June 2021, Traore said this when he was questioned about Barca's interest: "Barcelona is my home."
'Barcelona is my home' – Traore responds to transfer links
Adama Traore spent ten years with Barcelona before joining Aston Villa for a £7million fee in 2015.www.football365.com
You're "shocked" that there's no buyers for a bunch of players who's form is in the complete dirt? ....Even though the first 3 are all seemingly also being made available for loan?
.......What sort of "plan" do you suggest changes that situation and creates buyers for those players?
Just like Paulinho. Don't worry.Traore to Barca but deemed not good enough for us by many here
Top four will get harder to achieve in the next couple of years with clubs like villa and more notably Newcastle who are ambitious to day the least.
I think utd will get top four this season but certainly 2/3 players in would have helped us but did we expect any different.
we fill buy Lamptey instead Is there a point in there somewhere?
Barca were mentioned by Twitter cunts weeks ago.... It's not a sudden shock.
Barcelona are not the holy grail, you do realise that? They are after Morata and have signed Luuk de Jong. If we signed them you'd be berating the club.Traore to Barca but deemed not good enough for us by many here
This isn't 2010.
United are the only one with a stronger squad. But their coach is a joke.
Conte will get enough out of our squad.
The path we are on Villa will be above us inside 6-12 months.
West Ham have already closed the gap, though I still think we just about have enough to fend them off.
Newcastle is a question of when not if with the money they have access too now.
Thank goodness Levy was so clever as to not do the deal. He has outsmarted Wolves last summer has outsmarted them this January and I think he might be outsmarting them next summer on Traore is the spin
Or conversely we never got him last summer, we are not getting him in January and we might not get him next summer.
Meanwhile Wolves have had Mouthino ( yes that Mouthino) for a few years and sold us Doherty.
Danny boy is really showing them who is the boss
PS They even extracted value for a few years out of Nuno
