ESPN FC’s Sid Lowe, Steve Nicol and Alejandro Moreno assess Barcelona’s move for Martin Braithwaite from Leganes outside the transfer window through a La Liga rule that allows clubs to apply to make new signings if a player is ruled out for more than five months. Lowe explains why the late move for Braithwaite to Barca will signal for change in the rules next season, while the rest of the crew feel it was wrong of the La Liga giants to pick on little guy Leganes.

I hope leganes get relegated now for the 18m that they recieved! Hope it was worth it. Barcelona have always been cry babies! If Barcelona had a face it would be Sergio bouquets… straight trash. Straight puss
Scottish accent cranks up relative to his anger level
Not like he is Suarez or insanely good.. he is average anyway.
Excuse me. I don't quite understand. What's the problem here? 🤔
Who
why does the rule even exist? (im not sure why the emergency GK rule exists either)
LaMasia, Whatttttttttttttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I only one who thinks that Leganes should be happy with this situation as that dude is not worth anywhere near 18 M Euros and with that kind of money next season they could buy few decent and younger players from countries like Denmark, Norway or Sweden and really improve their squad.
Stop trying to create fire where there is none. Let that fella get paid. He had a release clause and it was met. Old heads always in young fellas pockets. Get yo money Braith, it won't be there forever
who cares, stop crying.
Barca used to be seen as the good guys….now they’re a corrupt sinister club. They’re vile
Don't forget that other La Liga clubs have used this rule multiple times too. And when they bought a player from another club, the club they bought it from couldn't buy a replacement either. Didn't see anyone cry then. Criticize the rule, not Barcelona.
ESPN FC = Barcelona hate club + Liverpool fan club
If Leganés plays farsa, they should snap the guys legs!
Just imagine if leganess now beats barca in La liga🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank god we gonna get ride of barteumeo and his gang for good , hr destroyed the team wasted Messi s best years by stupid signings and spending money of anonymos players and bad decisions like dembele , bring back Laporta the true hero of barcelona and u ll see a board tht acfually cares abiut football not money nd economics
This is why I hate Barca
Who's here after Braithwaite made a great debut for cules?
Hopefully Liverpool goes through and they face liverpool again lol
This is the most bs thing i have ever saw….Leganes sold their player by a clause they signed a contract about…Barcelona got a player injured that is diffrent Leganes got their player sold because of a clause they signed on.Not barca fault not laliga's fault.And braithwaite is a very good striker and i think he will do great in barca colors
Yea it’s totally Barcelona to blame for doing what the rules allow lol what?
Don’t like the intro
Right, so the academy players are just not good enough to play for the senior team, and at a club like Barcelona. Baffling. I am proud of Arsenal, Saka, Nketiah, Willock, Reis Nelson and a few other prospects. Best example of how young players should be developed and promoted to the first team.
Just ask the defender to play as a striker. The rule is not fair.
Do they force him out of Leganes? What's the anger.
Bad theses guys r talking about this rule as if it's a new one and crazy 2 think a team gonna hurt his player on purpose ya analyses r always nonsense when ya talk about Braca
As long as Martin makes a few bob and has a ball. Who cares ?
LA LIGA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a Barcelona fan I agree, they should have brought in a sticker from La Masia at least
I’m hard core Barca fan ( the crazy one I cry and scream for Barca ) and I’m not happy.
Are people really blaming barca for a la liga rule ? Lol chelsea fan btw
Genius criminals that's what Barcelona are….Like the saying goes,the rich gets richer and the poor gets fucked over and out!
uefalona 😂😂
Unfair to leganes
I'm barca fan and think that braithwaite is good but I still think it's unfair, shame at barca for not use La masia players instead. I think barca will get a karma and not win anything this season
🔥🔥🔥🔥

Who are laughing now, we dont care about boro
World Class Braithwaite , a master class signing
Chris brown look alike
Coming from one, this seems like a really American rule lmao. This is a terrible idea for this reason. I didn’t check before posting if they did, but what good would 18 million euros do for Leganes if they got relegated?? They would most certainly lose more players because of going down as well.. feels bad man.
