What? I don't get those last two. Is this just rumour mill stuff or what? I get that a lot of teams will understand that there is going to be a huge fire-sale at Barcelona and will be eyeing the talent available but when you look at it there isn't that much. To me the ones that might interest big teams are Ter Stegen, Griezmann, Dembele, De Jong.... and Messi of course. But they're probably exactly the ones they want to hang on to and build the new team around (with the hope that some of the above might do better after a clear out). Ajax chasing Suarez makes no sense at all to me.

Can’t see Ajax affording his wages. City just want double cover for every position so that makes more sense.
I find it rather sad that Joe Hart has had to settle for being Spurs’ No2 (or possibly No3) he’s not that old is he? I know he’s not what he was but is he hoping for a bit of Europa League action? And I say all this as a Spurs’ fan.

Who parked the cars then?

We were just there to wheedle tips out of people, drink tea and smoke. The cars parked themselves.
Yeah, apparently it's bollocks.
Barça won't need to pay Liverpool a bonus if Coutinho wins the Champions League
Over the last few days it's been suggested that should Coutinho win the competition with Bayern, it would activiate one of his bonuses, but that isn't true

Glad Bayern won. I wanted them to anyway, but I really wanted them to after Neymar and co. started throwing themselves to the floor following every challenge.
When they last won the treble, I thought they were the blueprint for the modern team as they seemed to have it all - fast, physical, technical, flexible, lots of depth - and I get the same feeling looking at the current squad. Their only real weakness is the high line and their defenders and keeper are good enough to deal with that for now. You look at every other aspect of their game and it's about as good as it gets. They're what Barca should be aiming to be, imo. Still favouring possession, but quicker and tougher, with an aerial threat and the ability to play on the break.
