You can take a longer period in which you judge Deco if you want, it will just get worse.

I'm literally the only objective person in this thread
You are the least objective in this thread, you defend every move or lack of movement this club does without any criticism lately. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, you clearly love the club but it's a little bit naive.

So you are hating on him not because of what happened but what you believe will happen
If he doesn't sign any more players in this window, sure he deserves criticism. But there are zero indications as of now that this is what's going to happen
Every reliable media outlet is reporting that they are currently in pursuit of several players in our critical positions (CB, RB)

But there are, the last two transfer windows for example.
I don't believe media bullshit. It's mostly a bunch of lies made up by anybody with a twitter account or paid bullshitters from Sport and MD who write any lie Laporta wants to tell us.

If there was something to hate on, I would do that. But I do not look for reasons to hate on the board that completely transformed a club falling from grace in matter of few years.
Deco did excellent job last summer with the budget he had. Solved our keeper issue for maybe next decade, signed a good player on loan who was key in our league campaign, signed Roony who we'll definitely get profit for
He signed Olmo who has proven to be a superb footballer. His only real mistake so far was Roque and he corrected it by selling him for same money

I elaborated my opinion on last two transfer windows above. Only mistake in Deco tenure so far is Roque. And you can say he corrected the mistake.
And if you don't believe media then I don't know how you form these opinions of yours and if it is relevant. You probably know better than all the journalists reporting that we are in pursuit of players.
It is not just Mundo and Sport reporting we are active in the market. Romano is constantly saying that. Ornstein, every single media outlet. There is no media sources that claims Barca won't sign more players this summer. Except you, I guess.
It's not just the lack of signings and inability to navigate the waters with, admittedly, limited resources.
It's the lack of ability to sell for 3 years now. Fucking Pau Victor is the biggest 10+ sale in 3 years.
But sure, take a holiday every month and blab about we got Nico and how great Kounde is.
He's a mongoloid way out of his depth.

There is no such thing as lack of signings.
I understand your concern about lack of sales and you are right. But the only real candidate for big money transfer right now is Kounde.
And we don't know if this guy wants to leave or what. There have been some rumors concerning him lately. This is also a thing you wait until market is over and then you criticize if sale is not complete.
Imagine looking at the actions of deco so far and praising it. Before he had the excuse of ffp for his inability to improve the squad. Now that we’re 1:1, he’s turned to the Alvarez saga. As if that stops him from selling unneeded players or improving our defenses. Anyone who defends this incompetence is completely lost and has no objectivity

Nobody is praising it and nobody should hate it. Right now we are supposed to wait and be patient.
Gordon and Adeyemi are solid signings but if they are the only signings we make it will be very bad window.
If we add CB, RB and maybe a ST to that it will be very good window.
I believe we will sign several more players. You maybe believe we won't sign anyone. It's okay. All the media reports heavily support my belief but it's okay. Let's just wait a month more and see.
you’re here 24/7 defending this incompetence while expecting others to just sit and wait. Why don’t you take your own advice and come back to praise Deco for his amazing signings after a month.
Reportedly we did table two Kroupi bids which were rejected, so it seems we are not seeing a Julian Alvarez si o si case here, and that we are actively pursuing other targets behind the media hoo has.
After Gordan and Adeyemi signing out of left field, I think that we have to atleast give the benefit of doubt for this particular window.

It's been 3 years. He didn't sell anyone from 1st team besides a fringe player here and there.
But yeah, he lost Inigo and was completely blind-sighted. Again, not his fault either as nothing is his fault, right?
But it's definitely a pattern of ineptitude that goes on for 3 years.
It's as if we're living from month to month. And it's probably because they do live like this and probably don't care once they are gone and new board comes. It's all travels and dinners and curating favours for Mendes who then scratches their backs.
There is no identifying long term targets which could have been gotten for discount or for free.
There's basically nothing that a random man picked up from the street couldn't do.

Pau was sold for 12M, Fati for 11M, Julián Araujo for 10M, Faye for 10M, Nico González for total of 21M (sale and percentage of future sales) in those 3 years. Dembele too if you are going to count the entire 2023 summer on him.
The question remains, who was he supposed to sell for big money, had buyers lining up, and Deco fumbled the negotiations?
There was interest in Kounde and Deco bragged how he brushed it off. Who knows what other were there that he didn't yap about.

Kounde has been solid starting RB for 3 seasons and was only bad last one, and afterwards had fairly good World Cup, what is the problem of them wanting to keep him? The market for fullbacks is beyond shit anyway and Kounde is still good in comparison to what is in the market.
Only one is Araujo, but that was due to his previous solid years + He only wanted Juve which was offering 20M in January.
The idea that its a good thing that deco laughed off a a club that wants to buy kounde is insane. kounde was solid until France needed production against spain and he gave them nothing. might as well not have been on the field. I'm starting to think that incompetence from our sd is being accepted because of Flick and Lamine Inshallah. Same phenomenon during the bartomeu era where corruption was allowed beause we knew Messi would save us in la liga
