Mitchell Robinson broke his fifth metacarpal NOT his pinky, per @WindhorstESPN
“It's a broken hand. When you break this part of your hand, it's known as a boxer's fracture because most of the time it means you hit something."

Hamza abdelkarim might be the solution … back up to Torres. But Fermin pressing with Gordon and raphinha might be the answer. .. let lamine play cam .. haaland next Sommer. Get some defensive contributions… don’t sell balde or kounde and sign cancelo again.
I know we’re probably heading there, but I really don’t want this Alvarez thing to turn into a long saga.
Back out before, last thing we should do is wait, wait and wait, then miss out on other potential targets, especially with the World Cup looming.
@trailblazers cheap ass owners didn’t pay the shit for two-way players. PSG is paying 500 stuff and family people to enjoy a final with hospitality … should be embarrassing .. short that organization who let @Dame_Lillard go .. @nba a team „ a Paris“ is more valuable
🚨🆕 If Marcus Rashford does not stay at FC Barcelona, the club could save up to more than €40m gross per year in wages through his departure and that of Robert Lewandowski.
Barca want to keep investing. A move for Julian Alvarez is considered financially feasible. Internally, the message is: “There is enough money available!”
Also because the club have been relatively conservative in the last three transfer windows compared to previous years. @SkySportDE 🇵🇱🏴
There is actually no chance ..
put the best 300 u19 players in Spain in a cup … to make it (pro) laliga might be up to 10 if you want to be nice .. 1-2 might have a chance for Barcelona … kids don’t now it. Dreams will be crushed. The younger you know better for the kid.
I’ve said this over the years that academy players break into the first team for three major reasons:
Injury crisis
Financial crisis
Generational talent
The only generational talent to break into Barcelona’s first team in the last few years is Lamine Yamal. Around 80% of the rest wouldn’t have played that much if it weren’t for the financial crisis. It’s no surprise that the moment money entered their hands, they forgot La Masia existed and were ready to spend €80M on Anthony Gordon.
If there’s no injury crisis or financial crisis, and the talent isn’t generational, most academy products would be sold to inferior teams for pure profit.
