Yep wonder if Seville will want to spunk all the money they just got on Sanchez and Reguilon? I reckon we could get a decent CB for £50M+.

Only downside to Chelsea missing out on Kounde, is if they switch their attention to Fofana we’ll surely have no chance of Maddison.

It doesn’t look like there’s much between us and Maddison anyway but I still live in hope ?

Wonder if Christiansen is annoyed he joined Barca now that he won't be a starter there.
I got a feeling Kounde will play right back where he can get forward more. Araujo usually plays right centre back and he will be a regular starter. Pique will need to be rotated a lot more due to his injuries. I fancy Christensen will play plenty. Unless they sign another right back I think that's where Kounde is playing.

Chelsea actually thought they could get deLigt ended up chasing Kounde and still got nothing, might now have to settle for Fofana if they can even get him. The wheel of football life has turned.

Barcelona skint then?
What a load of bollocks gets put around.
Raphinha £55M
Lewandowski £42.6m
Kounde £41.85m
Plus Christensen and Kessie would've been given huge signing on fees, not to mention a drink for Dembele extending his contract.

Interestingly they seem able to be able to buy at prices considerably lower than those supposedly quoted to Spurs for the same player e.g. Raph and Kounde.

They are skint, yes. They have sold some of their future TV-money to finance these transfers. So if they fail now, they’re f*****.

Barcelona understand the actual workings of big business and finance enough to know that if you're big enough and embedded enough, it can always be made to be someone else's burden and there's always a bailout to be found if needed

I bet they win the league next season. Surely Lewandowski will fire in that league?

Barca are looking strong, they will challenge for sure. Just need to sort the full backs although Kounde may be their right back. Regular Champions League and an extended capacity stadium will help in a couple of years. Not to mention the sponsorships, I think they will manage.
