Ya I know.
My point is, even if I had written this before the last match, it would still have stayed the same.

60 mil + Eto'o for Zlatan in 2009 is insane!

If Zlatan didn't think too highly of himself it could have worked out. As we see with Haaland(and Lewandowski + multiple other players) who has a strong personality himself getting along with Pep isn't an issue unless you got a victim mentality or think too highly of yourself to the point it becomes a parody.

It wasn't just ego. Zlatan wasn't good enough in the biggest European games. His all round game was a joke in those big games.
Zlatan is a flat track bully just like Lukaku.
Haaland isn't a strong personality. It's a myth. He's extremely humble and selfless.

Was worse than that. They ended up going back for Villa a year later when could have got him instead of Ibra.
Laporta signed Villa before left and before new board could negotiate with him.
Barca had to pay Ibra to leave and then had Villa on a contract that increased as he got older and declined.. resulting in a low sale to Atletico.

That was the biggest robbery of all time. Reeks of corruption.

Ibra was around 40M + Eto, not 60M + Eto. Eto was valued around 20-30M at the time due to being in his last year of contract.
Ibra was great player, but he always needed a team built around him rather than being a piece of the puzzle.
And when Pep decided to move Messi centrally it basically meant Ibra role declined even further.
Individually, both Eto and Ibra are comparable, but Eto was a winning player who was willing to give it his all and do whatever it takes to win, even if he had nig ego of the pitch.

Eto was an absolute legend. I don't think he's appreciated enough at the club.
He and Rivaldo don't get enough love from the fan base. I think their stats are similar but Eto won more because he was in a much better team.
Back on topic, we are only 3 points from the top despite being all chaos and calamity.
If we can stabilise, minimise injuries and regain some form we can win la liga.
Cl is a different story. We need a squad overhaul to win that trophy or we need to get lucky.

Coutinho would be a a good transfer but not for this money. Maybe 70m.
