At this time, we can take anything once he can kick a ball I usually defend the board but they are squarely to blame for this whole situation, leaving the squad too short and on a brink. We are just an injury to a key player away to a collapse

Official: Barcelona sign Martin Braithwaite

Martin Braithwaite has completed his move to Barcelona after the Catalan club paid the Danish forward's 18 million euro release clause to Leganes.

Braithwaite has penned a contract that will last until June 30, 2024, while his new release clause will be 300 million euros.

Following weeks of failed pursuits, Barcelona have finally brought in a forward to cover the injuries to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele, as well as the departure of Carles Perez.

In January, Barcelona rejected the idea of bringing in a striker, but the injury to Dembele forced their hand.

LaLiga gave the club permission to sign a replacement for Dembele outside of the transfer window on Monday, once it was confirmed that the Frenchman will miss the six months of action.

Willian Jose was Barcelona's top target, yet they could not reach an agreement with Real Sociedad.

Then there was Angel Rodriguez, with Barcelona having struck a pre-agreement with Getafe for his arrival, but critical voices at the Camp Nou about his age - he's 32 - led to the Blaugrana looking elsewhere.

Finally, Braithwaite is the man Barcelona have been able to bring to the club.The 28-year-old has played in 27 games across LaLiga Santander and the Copa del Rey for Leganes this season, scoring a total of eight goals.

Braithwaite is versatile, a characteristic that has been key for Quique Setien's Barcelona: he can play as a central striker, as an attacking midfielder or as a left winger.

This versatility is what caused Setien to push for Braithwaite's arrival.

The forward has a lot of experience, having also played in Denmark, France and England.

Atalanta's 12 goals in the Champions League this season have been scored by 10 different players, with Hans Hateboer and Mario Pasalic the only players to score more than once in the competition.



Damn!!!!!

So you are still not over this obsession with the great one.

jpmoriarti:
I support you on this. We were spineless at Anfield and surrendered a huge advantage. Atletico have the drive that we horribly lacked last season. I am backing them to see the tie off.

Yo... You're a murderer of Confidence.
I have to convict you for killing whatever hopes these CR7 miscreants had before your comment.


But you're free to walk around. You spoke the truth and justice is duly served.


To the poster, I think you already know what idolizing CR7 is all about. Just pump in goals, then you're on the same level as him but you see that Barcelona midget, it takes much more than that.

udemzyudex:
Who is this one? Is this their first time of doing this kind of nonsense?

Some of you will just talk as if you just got back to this country.

Pictures of the burnt houses or we don't believe it.

They counted exactly 100 houses and burnt just like that?

Jokerman:
What does CR7 have more assists than Messi in the UCL?

BoleAndFish:
Yawns! Cr7 is the one beyond their reach. The only footballer to complete 20 dribbles in a single match.

Your midget can only dream of that.

**walks out

Igbosmoker:
the kind trolling Liverpool has been receiving I bet most of them have cried tired..

Just hope Barca can beat Napoli home and away because the insult will be hot

Zidane is experienced coaching same team.

airmark:
None of those epl teams have an experienced coach like Simeone who has mastered same system and spent so many years with same club.

Kylian Mbappe's idol: Cristiano Ronaldo

Erling Haaland's idol: Cristiano Ronaldo

Jao Felix's idol: Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is out here inspiring generational talents while your goat is busy picking fights with his director of football.

I laughed so hard when I saw this.

Fraudessi

Messi needs a heavy PR team, me thinks ddippset will do

jonsnow92:
@LaMujer has adequately responded bro, they can't get a replacement, the rule allowing any club sign a player mid season in the league is BS. A big club like Barcelona should have been prepared for all possibilities instead of having just 3 fit attacking players with one of them being a broiler starter (Ansu Fati).
Its poor from Barcelona but then so far the guy go ball, why not if not.

Awesome01:
Let's hope he won't turn out to be another Boateng signing.

LaMujer:
Ali Dursun, the agent of Leganes forward Martin Braithwaite, is believed to be in the city of Barcelona to negotiate the player's transfer to Barcelona to replace Ousmane Dembele.

Given the length of Dembele's injury, Barcelona have been granted permission to make an emergency signing and Braithwaite is the player they're currently looking at.

That was reported by Mundo Deportivo earlier on Monday, before RAC1 broke the news of the player's agent being in the Catalan capital.

Dursun has worked with the Blaugrana before, as he is also the agent of Frenkie de Jong.

Barcelona have 15 days to sign a player, but they want somebody sooner rather than later so that they can start working with Quique Setien and so that they can be available for the weekend's match against Eibar.

At Leganes, they will only let the 28-year-old player depart if his release clause of 20 million euros is paid.

If the Braithwaite option doesn't come to fruition then Barcelona know they also have the possibility of signing Angel Rodriguez from Getafe and Los Azulones may even be willing to negotiate on the terms of the transfer for the striker who has a release clause of 10m euros.

Jokerman:
There's nothing Messi has won or done that pele hasn't, but theres what Pele has done that messi hasn't

This is the correct list for greatest ever footballers

Pele
Maradona

Zidane
Delima
Cr7
Messi
Cryuff
Di stefano
Beckenbauer
Dinho

FirstbornWds:
Lol you even placed Delima Zidane and CR7 above the real GOAT.

I can see through your list now and know your original agenda.


Still, I maintain that the greatest to ever kick the round leather is Messi.

I mean, even Maradona, Pele, Ronaldo and Diho weren't always themselves every day. But you see Messi... He always all of that

If he's not scoring (Pele, Ronaldo and Maradona), he will entertain (Ronaldiho, Neymar, Hazard)

If he's not entertaining ( Diho), he's throwing critical passes (Xavi, Fabregas, Ozil, Iniesta)

If he's not throwing passes, he's creating chances ( Iniesta, Kroos, Modric, KDB, Suarez, Dani Alves)

If he's not creating chances, he is regulating formation from the midfield(Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas)

If he's not doing that, he is scoring goals.

And if any of these is not happening, then know he's not playing football


Please... What else is the definition of a complete, all-round player.?


As far as football is concerned, there are two kinds of players, - Messi and the others.

Respect man, Respect.

LaMujer:
Call a spade a spade. Paying of release clause is Bully. Knowing fully well the club won't negotiate, you pay the release clause. As a result, the club are forced to sell. That's bully. And yes, PSG bullied us as regards Neymar. They refused to sell Veratti and Rabiot and then took away Neymar, if that isn't bully, i wonder what else is.


No club is willing to sell their striker knowing fully well they won't get a replacement, we then want to get a Leganes team's, currently 19th on the table and fighting for survival, highest scoring striker. Leganes have scored 18 goals, and he alone has 6 goals. take that away and they are bottom of the league
