Interesting. If he can play... Top player.

I mean. Just for your knowledge. If you want to know more for the team I love since I was born. And is probably the cause did I like Newcastle. It's because I saw so much similar things between Atletico with the Gil Family (owners) and Newcastle with Ashley. Atletico always was Top3 in Spanish League. Even, it was second so many years in the history. The real spanish derby was Atletico-Real Madrid, not Barça. In 1987, Atletico was 'buyed' by Jesús Gil. At this moment, Atletico had 8 Spanish League... and Barcelona 10 (Real Madrid 22). In 2011, the year Simeone arrived, Atletico had 9 Spanish League... and Barcelona 21 (Real Madrid 31). In this 24 years, Atletico had more than 50 coaches and more than 250 players. I mean... More than 2 coaches per season, and more than 10 new players per season. Get relegated to second division... It was unbelievable. We had more than 10 years without playing european competitions. And you know why we get relegated? It's crazy. The players have a contract earning the low salary, but they earn much more in 'black money'. The owner was in jail at this moment, and the club was managed by Spanish Tax Authorities. What happened? the Authorities only paid the 'low contract'.... that it was more or less only the 10% they earn really. The owner told to the players that the only way to get the all salary was if they lost the matches, becasuse it this thing happened, people made so much pressure and the goverment would decide put the owner free and stop the investigation. And yes, this thing happened, but lately, because the owner was free with the team in the bottom of the classification. But the more important thing is the way Jesús Gil 'buyed' Atletico. Jesús Gil was the last owner we had, and now the owner is his son Miguel Ángel. The president is Enrique Cerezo, is the same president with the father and with the son. This 3 'payed' 2.000 millones of pesetas (the coin we used before euros) for de 95% of the club, but the next day, the money just dissapear. The other 5% was buyed by the fans that put their money (my grandfather, one of them). 15 years later, the spanish justice research the case, and the veredict was, the 3 was guilty, they have robbed the club, and they have robbed the money of this 5% of the fans. Jesús Gil was in jail at this moment (for other question) and a few months later died (there are so many people believe he is alive in any part of the world) And the veredict was... They should put back the money... and go 3 years to prison, but it was very late to do, because the case was prescribed. So, Miguel Angel Gil and Enrique Cerezo are free and they manage the club the justice say they robbed. Anyway, in the other sentence, is set that they have robben between 1987 and 2005 much euros millions more, to do personal things, like reforms in their houses, buyings of wedding presents, medical private stetic surgeries, etc etc And in the annual accounts of 5-6 years ago, they admitted there are 200 million euros that just have dissapear... and anyone knows where are it. So, if Atletico said the deal is in 12 millions, probably the deal is in 20 millions, and 12 is the official tax, and 4 is for the Atletico owners and 4 for Newcastle owners.

The journalist that cover the Atletico Info in Marca says Trippier is flying today to Newcastle and Atletico give him 48 hours to ending the deal with Newcastle.

What about the fee? Some pappers are saying 12 millions, another are saying 25... little bit difference ahahaha Typical Atletico deal, anyway.

Nah. Looks like is just a meeting between Atlético Director of Football and the owner. The main question in the table is Trippier, but another players too. I don't know if Trippier and his agent are there. Probably they are dealing with the offer and studying the buy.

Right now there are a meeting in Atlético Stadium about the transfer of Trippier.

Manquillo, Jesús Gámez, Trippier.... Newcastle only sign players that have played in Atletico as a RB?

At the end of the match, Trippier have gone the last to the pitch and he did a turn to the pitch saying goodbye to the fans.

Squad. Simeone told yesterday, the decision to go or no is only a question of Trippier. I guess the deal between clubs will be done more or less easy. Anyway, Trippier is going to start today.

Tuchel said the other day in a press conference they are thinking in recall Emerson (on Loan in Lyon) this January. Emerson is Left Back. I think, Tuchel has some doubts with the level of Marcos Alonso, the only Left Back in their squad because Chilwell is out for the rest of the season, and probably they have though in Trippier because he is right back, but he player as left Back in England Squad... They have Reece James and Azpilicueta in RB, but is obviously Tuchel prefer Azpi as CB. Anyway... I think Trippier will go to Newcastle.

The real situation is that. Atletico sign him until 2022. No One confirmed, is not oficial, but Atletico put a clause in his contract some like 'If you Play 25 matches in the 2020-2021 Trippier will get one year more'.

I don't want to be so much excited, but Digne, Botman, Belotti, Ramsey, Trippier and Gueye sounds very well. Obviously we won't get all of them, but I think we are in the good way.

Acording to Diario AS (Spanish newspapper) Paul Mitchell has offered his service to Newcastle to become in the new Director of Football. Mitchell is in this charge in Mónaco but he is not happy and was Chief of Scouting in Leizpig, Soton and Spurs.

18 Months*

Gueye is PSG Gueye????? Ou Mamma. This man is a rock in the middle.

Totaly Agree. Probably he have proposal from Juventus and PSG (Because Mbappe will gone in Summer) but is a crazy money he demanded.

Barcelona is ready to sell Dembele this January in a 10 Millions fee. Reports said the player has asked a new contract with salary of 30 millions per year and bonus of 30 millions more right now for resigning a contract. And 15 millions to his agent.

Is this the same team that played under Bruce? We can win, we can lost, but at least the team has soul and fight every ball.

A couple of weeks ago, I read Aberdeen was ready to cut the loan because they have a lot of players in the middle and Matty doesn't play. He have been out of the bench the last 5-6 matches Probably the recall it would have been done anyway with Bruce for another loan to other team, but now is correct to say maybe Howe want to see him in the pitch to decide if he want him or is better another loan.

But the Financial Crisis of them is 'complicated'. They have problems with Fair Play of Spanish League, no more. In Spain, since a few years ago, every team have a Limit that is complicated to explain and different from the other Leagues. But Really, Barcelona is the club in the world with more earnings every year. They have a problem of short time because they have to front biggest salaries and buyings like Dembele, Coutinho, Griezmann, Messi or even Umtiti. In Neto deal, Barcelona declared the hire was for 30 millions in a swap with Cillessen...And Neto is earning 5M per year. Since this season, Barcelona has to cut the salaries of the new players. Eric Garcia, Depay or Aguero are earning a lot less than players like Neto or Junior (in Leeds right now).

Onana wants to play for Barcelona and he doesn't mind being a substitute. He has said it many times and in fact, during the season, he visits the city many times. During the sanction he was living there too. Now that Barcelona has financial problems, I wouldn't be surprised if they sold Neto to sign Onana for free. Anyway, I had not put him because his and Dubravka's level must be quite similar.
