With Ousmane Dembele ruled out for the rest of the season and Luis Suarez sidelined for several months, Barcelona reportedly expect to be granted permission by the Royal Spanish Football Federation to sign an attacker outside the transfer window. ESPN FC’s Craig Burley tears into Barca about the request, expressing disbelief a rule exists that would allow the La Liga title contenders to make an emergency signing outside the transfer window. Meanwhile, Steve Nicol defends Barcelona for exploiting the opportunity if the federation allows it.

So what do you have academy players for decoration?
Uefalona abusing powers again, get ur young players in. Emergency signing lmfao, what a load of bollocks
They should sign Benzema or Jovic ???
Selling Malcom was a mistake
If they’re using their influence to persuade the Spanish fa they should get fined and banned from a transfer window. And I’m a Barca fab
If it’s a rule placed there’s nothing wrong with it.
Its an absolute farce.. barca are an absolute farce
So Barcelona is saying their reserve n academy players are of no good…shouldn't those guys be given an opportunity
This is a rubbish rule. How do the laws of football define a striker? There is no difference between a defender and striker according to the laws. There are only goalkeepers and outfielders.
Everyone is blaming the Barcelona board for their mistakes. Gotta put some blame on the players also for under performing to
If it wasn’t fair they shouldn’t have made it a rule y’all just mad it’s Barca.
What a pathetic argument ??♂️like did barca make up the rule ?seriously bruv
Don't let Craig Burley to predict La Liga he was wrong about Barcelona and Real Madrid games in this weekend. That was totally opposite results.
Meanwhile Manchester City were playing with "Fernandinho", "Eric Garcia" and "Angelino" as their back three without complaining. Players have to step up to new challenges for their team. That's the game.
Craig Burley doesn't know anything about what's going on at Barcelona!

Anybody else remember the "joker" transfer window in France from Football Manager back in the day?
That's what this reminds me of.
