Joan Laporta

[Barcaman]

Who is being sold is the question.
He said some areas are crowded after being asked about having to make sales for registering players.

Don't think he is eying likes of Fort or Martin and Stegen forgetaboutit, so I guess there's midfield. Casado? Frenkie?

 

[Andresito]

Christensen perhaps

 

[Barcaman]

Christensen perhaps

Thought it was implied we need to generate significant sum. How much possibly could we get for Chrissy with less than a year on contract and with his injury history? Don't think CB places are overbooked either.

 

[Loki]

Casado? Frenkie?

Casado is a La-Masia product on low wage, who convinced from the first minute he played under Flick. Barca doesn't sell such players if they don't want to leave themselves.
Frenkie is one of the best midfielders in the world and on the verge of extending.

Christensen perhaps

This is the only possible "big" sale this summer, as his positions DM and CB are well covered with 2 players on each.

 

[jamrock]

The answer should be one of those two, they are the factually the easiest to replace, just look how we did it he first half of the season without them and the two the majority of fans of the least affection towards.

That or maybe fort

 

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

So here are the net spends in La Liga since Laporta returned in 2021.

We should not even be competing.

Yet we are winning domestic trebles playing the most exciting football in Europe.

And people are still complaining.

 

[jamrock]

Don't tell the haters facts.

They tell you it's all magic.

To me this looks like LaLiga is suffering financially, especially compared to PL. They are ten times richer or something.
LaLiga needs to see this. I am not saying waste your money like PL, but it seems like there's no money in Laliga.

 

[DonAK]

That big 2026 or 2027 window with an elite #9 and CB is gonna hit like crack.

Hopefully they also don't do crack while making those decisions.

It is. It's called La Masia.

More a question of how much revenue TV contracts generate for different markets. Spanish League garners less than Premiership - part of that is down to marketing, English speaking regions paying a premium and FA management/mismanagement

Bigger issue is the acceptance criteria they continue to apply more stringently towards Barça to ensure an expenditure advantage for the capital clubs, this is where the CVC investment deal peddled by Tebas & La Liga is inextricably linked. Barça are being singled out even beyond the Negreira nonsense to harm them financially and sporting wise

But as the OP mentions, despite all the instruments available to the state to game the competition to their favor Barcelona’s talent from Masia defeated these corrupt measures that included the scandalous refereeing interference. Spain is corrupt to the core and football is a great example of how the game is rigged for one to succeed with relative ease…yet the Catalan club’s academy has other plans for Spain and Europe

 

[jamrock]

Tek

Kounde
Martinez
Cubarsi
Balde

De Jong/casado
Pedri

Raph
Olmo
Yamal

Lewa.

Our starting XI last season.

I could 6 signings made since laporta was president, 8 total players who aren't from Masia.

Grand total of 3 Masia players 4 if we included casado.

It's it's it's called magic and miracles by his haters.

Tebas the fool thinks he can operate LaLiga like grandma's kiosk around the corner, where you only pay your bills with the money in your cash register. The problem is, if you don't allow teams to invest, to generate interest, your income will decrease, so less money is available and that means even less investment, even less interest. A vicious cycle into the void.
But this imbecile has Madrid and Barca to lean on (yet) and refers to their international success if people point out the obvious problems.

That said, normal clubs can't compete with sugar daddy owned clubs. If they try, it will end very badly. So there must be some golden middleground to operate, but it's not easy. At fault are Fifa and Uefa for allowing these investments into the PL. Corrupt old whoresons selling football, because they get their share.

 

[malvolio]

Yeah bro he gets praise for nothing when he took the hard decisions like getting Xavi and Hansi as managers, to discard club legends like Koeman and coincidentally Xavi. Took the hard decision to activate the levers which worked in the main scale of things, basically saved the club from barely existing to being feared again. Nothing.

Laporta didn't save the club from barely existing The club was still generating good revenue and it's not like we were Valencia FFS! This is a club in a two and a half horse league and CL is guaranteed every season.

The fat fuck wouldn't have had levers to pull if club was not a big brand and sure thing on revenue generation for years to come. He even got fined by UEFA for the "genius" levers scheme.

Also, he is the idiot that kept Koeman before firing him and then hired Xavi to fire him also. He just takes a gamble and hopes to hit like Pep.

I swear some of you act like this is Rayo Vallecano and Laporta saved us from getting relegated to Tercera.
