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.

Richard Sanders says:

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

Lokesh Yadav says:

Stephencharles Grace says:

As long as Martin makes a few bob and has a ball. Who cares ?

Goosegenda Sam says:

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

Samson Adeyemi says:

Do they force him out of Leganes? What's the anger.

Hakim says:

Just ask the defender to play as a striker. The rule is not fair.

Kumar Sharma says:

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.

Trendy Vision says:

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
