Martin Braithwaite

[vinegar hill]

Looked good in the Euros.

First Post-Messi Barcelona league match, Braithwaite gets 2 goals and an assist in an MOTM performance. Who saw that coming?

Quite a few I'd imagine as they haven't got much else.

He'd be a typical Arsenal signing at this rate.

"Good" as in he'd maybe do a job for like Burnley. Not "good" as in he can lead the line at barca

Their front 3 was him, Depay and Griezman. Id have picked either of the others as more likely to score a brace

no he didn’t

Was still a canny first 11 they put out like.

 

[Vicham]

no he didn’t

The semifinal apart, Braithwaite was a constant threat during the Euros.

How were they able to register Depay but not Messi ?

 

[parsonjohn1985]

How were they able to register Depay but not Messi ?

Absolutely no idea

 

[Vicham]

How were they able to register Depay but not Messi ?

Much lower salary would be my guess

 

[sb022x1030]

How were they able to register Depay but not Messi ?

Depay took a 50% pay cut just a few weeks after signing for Barca

Er..who was saying anything other than he looked good in the Euros? Is he not leading the line at Barca?

no he didn’t

Yes he did.

I'm just saying that I don't think he's good enough for Barca (I appreciate I may have gone off on a bit of a tangent)

Gérard Pique agreed a wage cut on Friday that allowed them to register Depay and Garcia. It was on SSN.

Well I agree.

Crazy that this is having to happen so they can register players.

If they prioritised registering messi, could they not have clubbed together as a squad to take the reduction required? If pique can take a cut on his own which registers two players (they wont be on peanuts), surely the like of busquets, ter stegen, griezmann etc could have found the money for messi...he was taking a 50% cut as well

Not sure about the rest but I thought to myself how much is Pique on if him taking a pay cut means they can register two players! Maybe the other players don't like Messi.

Can't imagine Garcia being on too much (for barcelona standards), but depay must be on 200k per week minimum imo

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Can't register Aguero who is currently 'injured'. Apparently they are trying to get Alba and Busquets to half theirs as well to get him in.
