Braithwaite describes what it felt like to leave Leganes, which is fighting to stave off relegation from La Liga, and how the club approached his transfer while knowing they could not sign a replacement.

First
I remember Braithwate at Swansea and he was amazing with the speed especially.
Hope barça keep him!
Barcelona made the biggest mistake, they signed him for 1/2 games out of panic, and then the pandemic hit. £20m down the drain. Good player, but he wasn’t in their long term plans and they are already cash strapped
Martin Braithwaite will succeed at Barcelona. He is a very talented footballer.
I hope Barcelona keep him, he may not be the biggest name but I really like his attitude and mentality. Recently, we just keep signing big names and how have that turned out. We need no nonsense players that are willing to go out there and and fight. I feel like Braithwaite will be the perfect back up to the eventual new number 9 or use him on the wing in a sub role.
Years ago I used to think ESPN FC was terrible, but compared to the clickbait nonsense that's everywhere on youtube, you're actually great.
what handling? Leganes are basically helpless since there's nothing they can do at all on their side regarding his transfer. This La Liga emergency transfer policy is weird, and an unfair one since only the top La Liga clubs can take advantage out of it =/
