Is it me or is Barca's strategy this summer actually quite sensible, unlike usual? Hoovering up decent free transfers - Wijnaldum, Garcia, Depay, Aguero etc.
Yes they'll be on good wages but then they'll save a ton on transfer fees.
Reminds me of Juve a few years back when they went for Pirlo, Pogba, Khedira and the like.
Should've been doing this for years instead of hunting whoever was flavour of the summer for 100m+. Real Madrid are doing the same, signing Alaba on a free transfer.
Bayern and Juventus have been the kings of the free transfer signing in recent years, but players will always be attracted to the prestige of Barca and Real.
Girona were on a roll run of form before that one but Rayo turned in a great performance, and even with ten men, they blunted Girona. Gutted for Girona, but I have a soft spot for Rayo- good luck to them next season.
