what have we supposed to have done wrong? Didn’t think it was illegal to buy a footballer…surely it’s Barca in the wrong?

Barry is currently a part of Barcelona’s youth squad after making the move from West Brom last summer. But the 16-year-old has been recently linked with a move back to Birmingham, this time with Dean Smith’s Villa.
Now that news has emerged that West Brom are looking to take legal action and sue Villa for their pursuit of Barry, it’s made a lot of Villa fans take to Twitter to air out their opinions on the situation.
Proper ‘tin pot club’ stuff this! ??

Stupid paper talk. They’ll need to sue Barcelona. They’re the ones who owe them the original fee. Nothing got to do with Villa#UTV #VTID

What do we think?
If West Brom are indeed taking legal action over the potential signing of Barry to Villa, surely Barcelona should be the ones in the spotlight seen as Villa haven’t actually signed the player yet.
