Cool

Apparently Spain are going to change their laws to stop us doing this shortly.

^ No they won't. They brought in a ruling ensuring youths not eligible to be professional binded by contracts year olds must adhere to any per-negotiated contracts which is why we had to pay 3.2m for Merida.

Barcelona can complain about nothing, the majority of their squad is poached from clubs in Spain and Spanoudakis himself came from Frankfurt.

Love this new guy we've brought into the academy. Really making some changes!

After all the crap the gave us about Fabregas, us legally taking their promising youngsters serves them right.

Heard this. I love it when we poach barca's talents. Is there anywhere where I can follow the lincoln game btw? Twitter or something? Probably over by now but would like to follow as many youth games as possible in the future.

Looks like an interesting young player in that compilation, looks quite tall for his age as well.
