Also, haven't they announced Deco already as his replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, haven't they announced Deco already as his replacement? Exactly, Deco is due to be signed as his replacement. If this is true, we were used with whatever politics is going on with Barca. Clearly there were issues between Cryuff, Alemany and Laporta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 All the 'nothing signed yet but it's a done deal, honest' stuff does look a bit suspect in hindsight but honestly who knows. Have to wait now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I think we’ve been done here, what a crazy and frustrating situation this is. Barca is like a circus I swear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioVilla Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Romano and LME now saying the same, seems dead. Unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 It's being suggested on Twitter that he left because of Jordi Cryuff, who is now leaving as well, so they are saying Alemeny wants back in. Unexpected turn of events if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I hope we had other irons in the fire and can get someone else in. I'm sure we were looking at others and we were opportunistic with Alemany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 This is not going to reflect badly on Villa in my opinion. As I said there was clear issue with the Barca structure, something between Laporta, Alemany and Cryuff. Maybe Alemany was interested in joining, but it also feels like he used us as leverage. Maybe he always wanted to stay and wanted Cryuff gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
