umm it's a free transfer.
but since is to rival club, barca obviously wants to make it harder abit.
i read he had a training already on Fri.. meaning the transfer actually happened earlier before media got to it...
logically would be dumb to just throw him in without some sort of preparation...

suarez joined barca before ole joined mu...so the contract clause all written based on circumstances then...
barca also couldn't foresee what would happen after SAF resigned...

but ok la... our Torres replacement goes to the home of Torres...

I thought our torres replacement is carroll? No 9 for no 9   

really? why Liverpool just not buy him...let him play for 2 years, should be OK for that 3.7M

Bangala MU, still a big club for Barca to add to the ban list.

I can understand why they banned RM & PSG (Neymar issue?) but why City and United? What have they done to piss-off Barca?

Good game so far. Good to see all the players really taking the opportunity to impress. Good debut by the other Williams too. Vvd can rest in 2nd half.

champions league kot

suarez is getting old but still gooding.
btw…looks like liv is going to sell brewster soon. this young lad high in value ooo…

i think this match shows that we have adequate firing power…

shaqiri, minamino, origi, jones are still very good.

we really need a cb for bench. can't just rely on fabinho.

Agree, fab had a good game where Chelsea not really adopting attacking approach. The real test is yet to come.

Hopefully with buy back clause. I can see he become as good as sterling

"It should not surprise you. We don't really speak about any transfer rumours. He was not in the squad, you can make of it what you want. We have nothing really to say. No news."

"In general people in a better position should help people in a less good position, 100%," Klopp said at a news conference on Friday when asked about the impact on smaller clubs

"I don't understand the structure 100% -- in Germany you have Bundesliga 1 and Bundesliga 2, so they have to share the problems so that makes things slightly easier.

"There isn't a general answer -- people in a better position should help other people but the position in this moment for all clubs is not really easy. I don't know how the government finds time to think about that, but I get it 100%.

So, yes football should try to help themselves, ourselves -- however we should say it -- I agree 100%."

“We will see, we will see,” he told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

“We have a few days to train, some boys have to recover from last night, so we will see how we set up against Arsenal.

“I have an idea, but why should I make the decision today, when we have time until Monday?

“But he’s in contention, for sure, and yeah, let’s see.”

“Mikel Arteta showed in a very short period of time that he seems to be an exceptional football manager, obviously,” he told reporters.

“Because the team he sets up now, the structure of the team is absolutely exceptional; you can see the balance between defence and offence is really good.

“You can see a lot of things which are obviously pretty helpful in football: good organisation but freedom for the players as well, [he] uses the players in the right positions.

“So I have to say since he’s there, he did a pretty impressive job, to be honest.”

Naby is doing really well. He started well and then I started coaching him and he got worse! But seriously, he had injuries and he had to learn the language but is doing really well now. Everything is fine.

“I think Joe should be back in training today,” the manager said when asked about injuries.

“That’s what everybody told me, and nobody has told me something different since.

“Billy the kid is back in training; Joel not, pretty much. Hendo not yet, that was clear this game is for sure too early.”
