Why are folks here ok to sell Fermin & Casado for such low fee or even sell while we have a player in his prime (Ferran) who fetches us good money, is a backup and can be replaced easily, but they dont want to sell him.

I dont understand this logic.

It's typical Barca logic. Sell Casado and/or Fermin because the factory has a ton of potential coming from behind in these positions.

But the reality is there is no guarantee they make it. Casado and Fermin while not the most talented, have that mentality to succeed and are vital in the rotation.

Good point on Ferran. He should be our most accessible exit. I'm sure he doesn't want to leave though, which is another typical Barca problem.

But then again, if we could keep the squad as is and just bring in Nico. I would be delighted.

I tell you want Chelsea would do in our situation. They would set up a company. Sell the VIP seats to themselves. And then sell them back to themselves later on.

Done, easy peasy. No FFP problems unless Detective Scrotum at LaLiga decides to have another deep dive into his eye bags.

Lets just sort this Nico thingy quilckly.

Our transfers are always a saga and I hope its not another 2 months ordeal this time.

I think it's done. All the noise is coming from Bilbao.

I think it helps their narrative with this Bayern angle as it puts all the pressure on the player and makes them look like the victim to their plebs.

Anyways Bilbao need to have a hard look at themselves. What makes Adama Boiro Basque for example?

Interest in Casado is the news of the day on Mundo Deportivo, biggest Barca newspaper.

:tumbleweed:
He waited long enough to get finally a spot in the first team, so the motivation for him to leave the club after the first season will be zero and his wage offer must improve massively for him to consider it.
For the club the offer must also be a big one, as he's the first rotation option for Hansi for Pedri or Frenkie so if the club sells him, they need immediately a replacement.

For me it's just another fabricated summer story. I give it <5%.

PS: MD and Sport might be the biggest barca newspaper around, but they also write much bullshit. It depends always on the journalist of the article, as they employ many from tier 1 - tier brazenly lying.

People still want to sell Ferran have to be on stupid pills.

Let's sell the only other player that can:
A. Fill the 9 spot
B. Play LW and RW
C. Scores goals off the bench

Only because of an agenda of him not performing under Xavi. You know who else was bad under Xavi? Raphinha

Except he wasn't, just wasn't as good as he is now.

22 goal contributions in 50 games in our league winning season

23 in 37 the season after.

But I agree with you re Torres
