Ed001. Great round up however my 2nd team, Warrington Town, have sign 2 players from Altrincham (Tony Thompson and Tom Hannigan) .
Why haven't you mentioned this in your round up?

;-)

{Ed001's Note - ah must have been an oversight on my part, my apologies. I will endeavour to do better in future!}

Barcelona still looks like they are still in a real mess, Ed001. How do you let a player, for whom you paid 140 Million (Dembele), walk off without trying to get a cent back?

I think it's good news for Balagizi; even though I don't know if where he is going on loan is at a higher level than playing with the U23's. "Treatment table" star was hilarious.

{Ed001's Note - any level is better than playing under 23 or whatever level. They need to play against adults to find out if they are capable of coping. Barca are just hopelessly run, because they never had to worry before La Liga changed its rules as no bank would dare call in their huge debt.}

Alex Inglethorpe recently said that’s the former u23 PL2 league was basically a u19 league or that’s how it was seen by the club. So yeah some strange loans to very very low level clubs but as Ed says atleast they’re playing against men where they will be found out if they can’t cope with physical contact.

Ed1 who actually owns Barcelona that they are allowed £1 billion in debt get another £1.5billion mortgage for training facilities etc and can sign players on big wages?

{Ed001's Note - they are owned by the socios. They are allowed to run up huge debts because no bank in Catalania can call in a debt owed without facing all the Catalans taking their money elsewhere. That would cause the bank to collapse. So they have to just put up with it.}
