I put no stock in the veracity of this article since it's just seem to be a poorly-translated repost of some likely-fabricated rumor, however I still feel the need to post it as an example of how clubs are becoming more....um....creative with their payment structures for players in these hard times. Atlético’s latest offer for Dest includes crack for FC Barcelona https://blazetrends.com/atleticos-latest-offer-for-dest-includes-crack-for-fc-barcelona/ (it might also be a case of the My Pillow guy suddenly deciding to spend whatever's left of his fortune on a soccer team, then falling off the wagon right before the transfer season)
I'm certain I've posted this elsewhere but I always love to regal my in-laws with how bad all things Dutch are: Dutch door - half a door Dutch date - you pay In Dutch - in trouble Dutch cure - suicide Dutch courage - drunk Dutch comfort - "it could be worse..." Dutch leave - awol Dutch widow - sex worker Dutch betting - hedging your bets Dutch-uncle - not an uncle, dressing you down Dutch gold - fake bad gold leaf Dutch Concert - drunk Dutchmen making noise (They love this schtick in Sneek btw, because they think they're Frysk, not Dutch...) Ok, as you were...
What is that? A dictionary from the 1950's? Who uses those words anymore? No way can I see Dest going to Athletico Madrid, but he is shockingly in frame still to POSSIBLY move this window......and it is an absurd strategic move by Barcelona.
From ESPN The last bit is news to me. If true, it suggests continued major interest, probably even now.
Let’s talk about this once Dest is safely settled elsewhere. Until then, ixnay on the amperingtay alktay.
Hadn't seen this posted. From the Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...iger-ready-listen-new-chelsea-contract-offer/ Barcelona would be prepared to send Sergino Dest on an initial loan with a view to a permanent move. The fact the 21 year-old can play at right-back, as well as left-back, with Reece James also injured, makes him an interesting proposition [for Chelsea].
Or a straight trade for Miazga! The gamble for Dest would be that James does not come back as quickly or he loses a step. Because James before injury was freakin' good. I would certainly take my chances with Alves breaking down before I would beating an inform james
Yeah, Chelsea seems dubious with James and Chilwell blocking him...plus they're kind of an easily distractible, vibes-only club.
