As if Barca just magically had little to spend last summer and nothing to do with decisions of board.

Yup, that's a fair critique. When it comes to signings it's somewhere in the middle. Neither great, neither shit. To try and paint all the transfer work done in the past few years as bad is utter nonsense.
If they had failed to keep Fati and he went on to be world class, same ones complaining about his contract now would be the first to complain how Laporta let him go. Pure Hindsight Harry merchants. Not one person here advocated to let him go because of his excessive demands. Not one.
They complain about Lewa, but the guy has scored bags of goals which were key in 2 league titles. It's not a huge Win as a signing, but neither it is a huge L.
But you get the same shite every time Barca lose a big game. The truth, as you have said, is that the transfer business done under Laporta has been a solid 5-6 out of 10 and not the 2 out of 10 that gets painted conveniently after very loss.

Fati had barely played in a year and they offered him a huge contract.
Moronic.
You wait for player to show they are worth it and fit before shitting the bed about them leaving for free which was unlikely anyway.
There is no club going offering Fati huge money at that time or the next January.

United are a good manager and one mid to replace Bruno away from being a really good team.
We're a manager and five starters away.

This rage-baiting of yours... whatever happened there.
Laporta is inept, lazy and corrupt. Hires friends and family and thinks everything will turn out well. Saddles future boards for his spending and sells assets to finance operations. Outright lies coming from him for years now too.
Having said all that, blame for lack of signings can't be entirely on him. Yes, we could have invested money from Lewa, Ferran or Kounde more wisely but those signings weren't entirely disastrous.
I will continue crediting him for both dismissing Xavi (which was hard decision at the time) and hiring Flick. He basically hit gold as Barca been playing attractive football and through this regained a lot of confidence and positivity around the club.
I am still shocked no sane and capable candidate emerged to run the club. Font guy seems even more idiotic than Laporta.

Flick has been his best move by far.
But in order to keep him, he's gonna have to back him with some signings that suit his football.

Joan Laporta:
“Florentino Perez' statements about Barça? Real Madrid are involved at every moment in the judicial process of the Negreira case, stretching it like chewing gum even though they know there’s NOTHING there. Barcelona has never bought referees, and in general referees have not favored Barcelona, they have FAVORED Madrid throughout history.” “Just look at the last matchday: Madrid scored two goals that, in my opinion, were not valid — Bellingham gave the assist with his hand, and in the other one Vinicius broke Peña’s nose. Those two goals shouldn’t have counted, and Barça would be leading the league right now. So don't give us lessons.”
“Just look at the presidents and former presidents of the CTA (Referees Committee) throughout history, all of them are/were Real Madrid socios, former directors, or former players. They have no right to lecture us.”
“Real Madrid are pushing for Javier Tebas' dismissal so they can replace him with someone of their own. Tebas is an honest man. We at Barça might not have a 'special' relationship with him, but we have a normal one. I don’t trust Real Madrid's intentions.”

Laporta turned 180 degrees on Madrid after they joined the Negreira case in court despite being formerly allies in the SL idea. That's also the reason Laporta turned back to Ceferin and Uefa. He'll say everything now, if it hurts Perez. So if Perez is actively working against Tebas, Laporta will, if only publicly, defend him."Tebas is an honest man".
