Rumour in the Yorkshire Evening Post that we're thinking of a loan deal with Barcelona for Roony Bardghji, a highly rated 20 yr old Swedish right winger. Since Barcelona still owe us around €42m (£36.5m) on the Raphina deal, maybe we could offer them a small reduction in that debt in exchange for a free loan deal, maybe with an option to buy too.

They've just bought Gordon, and the Rashford deal isn't dead if they can lever the fee down a bit, so Bardghji is probably way down the pecking order. I'd read that Barca were keen to sell. They paid EUR2m for him a year ago on a four-year contract, but want substantially more. Interest from several PL clubs, allegedly.

Fairly sure Leeds have confirmed the fee for Raph has been paid. They may owe someone else, as someone loaned the money to pay us, though.

The Rapha thing is all cleared up a long time ago. The lad is defo worth a butchers tho.

Reading further, you're probably right, Canada, but looking him up on YouTube, he looks quite tasty. He's listed as a right winger, but is two-footed, with a stronger left, and would work well as a CAM. An upgrade on BA for sure.

Raphinha fee was paid ages ago.
Barcelona owe the funds to the backer who paid us.
Don't want Roony on loan unless it's a loan with obligation. Don't want to be developing players who won't be staying around.

Always hard to tell, so many players are great in one league and useless in another, due to speed, physicality, standards, etc., differences.

Oi Oi. Has that geezer changed his name, or are there two miserable gits that are not in the know?
Been linked with half of Europe already, and the window is not open yet. No lack of squad depth next season. Most likely, once the window opens, it will be quiet for two months.

Is it Smythe in disguise, d'you reckon, Aus? ???

Must be bright. Thanks for getting it. ?

Talk is of a 22m bid now, rather than a loan.
