Nobody wants Dembele.

As a Simpsons meme aficionado the ‘Nobody loves Milhouse’ would have been better. My judgement is absolute. 

[Cicero]

Looking back, this was a fantastic period. Lot of media/public criticism that this rivalry was toxic (Mourinho vs Pep), but I genuinely loved, and I mean loved this Barca v Real era. 

[Stan]

'Spotify Camp Nou'. Ugh. 

 

[Pyfish+]

One of those where nobody will call it Spotify Camp Nou, it'll still be referred to as  Camp Nou/Nou Camp by most.

I wonder if there will be any Spotify exclusive podcasts etc as part of the deal? Wouldn't surprise me if there was live match commentary or something on the platform in the near future.

Araújo set to sign a deal until 2026. Massive news! @SirBalon

[Stan]

It seems like Barcelona are getting their act together again. So many quality young talents playing in form and gives hope to the future. Xavi is doing a grand job to begin with...

Yeah, I was just DMing Sid Lowe on Twitter about it. Better said, hounding him until he answers me.

There were already rumours yesterday that an agreement had been reached. It is indeed great news because he really is a genuine centre back with no messing around.

Now it’s time to get Gavi to sign his extension next.

Gérard Pique. 

Naughty naughty.

 

[ScoRoss]

Barcelona members have voted in favour of selling off 49% of their licensing and merchandising, and 25% of their television rights.

Another summer, another firesale.

[ScoRoss]

Madness.

All this for probably just a few seasons spending money for them. A decade of negligence, and they are going to be paying for it for decades to come.

[ScoRoss]

Selling off their future, so they can buy a soon to be 34 year old striker.

And probably selling off a bunch of young players, as well, to do so. Have seen this before, and they still haven't learnt.

It's no worse than any other named stadium. Do you say King Power Stadium, or Leicester City Stadium?

Maybe because Camp Nou is synonymous as that name being used for Barca's stadium. For several decades. 

It's just a bit different from what it's always known as. 

Never even called it the Leicester City stadium so perhaps not the best example. It's been Filbert Street, Walkers Stadium or King Power Stadium. 

[ScoRoss]

By the time this deal runs out, Robert Lewandowski will be approaching 60...

Crazy short term thinking here.

I get where you're coming from, but I think people will continue to call it Camp Nou.

If Everton rebranded to Spotify Goodison Park, I don't think anyone would really refer to it as such (apart from the media for legal reasons).

If Everton rebranded to Spotify Park you'd be glad because of the sponsor money and then you'd still call it Goodison Park anyway.

Yeah, exactly.

Barcelona confirmed in a statement that Christensen has signed a four-year deal. He will also have a €500million (£430million) release clause.
