There's a difference between being a renovator and a decorator though
I think they mean with the first team squad because Barca's plan was to have him in Barca B for a year or twoYeah it’s nonsense, no chance we offered this kid to walk in to the first team
Really funny there is bugger all to report. Watching Sky and the likes of Romano breathlessly reporting some minor loan deal in the lower leagues is priceless. It does feel like the punishments so far this season have been a real game changer. Imagine having to improve with clever signings, good coaching and a good youth system. Long may it continue.
This makes perfect sense. Getting a commitment from a manager who is gone in five months is worthless in the context of a five year contract.But everything has come to a standstill after the Sweden international received the news that the former Al Sadd man will leave Camp Nou. Joan Laporta and Deco do not seem to have the same conviction with the still modest Djugarden player, despite the fact that there was already an agreement for a figure slightly less than 10 million euros for him to join the discipline. And this has made him leave Barcelona without signing anything
If we manage to beat Bayern and Barcelona for signings in the same window it'd be hilarious.From El Nacional in Catalonia...
Bergvall has many doubts about Barça's project, final surprise
Lucas Bergvall moves away from Barça in the final hours of the market
Lucas Bergvall was considered a closed signing at Barcelona for this winter transfer window. Everything was agreed, and it seemed only a matter of time before he passed the relevant medical examination, to stamp his signature on the contract, and be presented with immediate effect, a few hours before the end of the winter market. But there has been a dramatic turn in events, after it became known that Xavi Hernandez will not remain the manager next campaign.
Apparently, the talented footballer born in 2006, who would start with the reserve team, was a personal bet of the Terrassa manager. He was convinced that he could be an important pillar in the near future, provided he passed the period of acclimatization to Spanish football. The serious injury of Pablo Paéz 'Gavi', the constant physical problems of Pedri González and the more than likely departure in the summer of pieces such as Oriol Romeu or Sergi Roberto made it very likely that he would have space in the first team.

Ange Postecoglou will meet with him in the next few hours, to try to get him to stay in London, and definitively rule out the idea of wearing Barça.
