    6 - Gavi

    MD says Gavi will be "released" on June 30th, 2023 if he is not a player of the first team by then, not sure if this is part of his old contract? If so, I guess he would be a free agent on July 1st, we won't even pocket any money if he chooses to leave? So screwed up. At this time I guess...

    6 - Gavi

    Not too worried about him leaving, other clubs can drool over him and want to trigger the release clause, I think he wants to stay. I think we will have to reduce the overall wage bill, and if we can, find the room to register him again this summer, right? Basically the same as Araujo's new...

    Joan Laporta

    True, without COVID we would still be going down because of some of the stuff Bartomeu did, after Neymar's departure but it wouldn't have been that bad without COVID. So sure, Bartomeu was the underlying problem, COVID was the icing on the cake, but still a very detrimental factor. I don't...

    Joan Laporta

    Bartomeu and COVID fucked us, and indeed Laporta inherited a mess, but to say Laporta "saved" us is ludicrous. Sporting-wise the addition of Christensen and Kounde is great, yes, but not enough to turn things around, especially in Europe. Financially he basically mortgaged our future, and this...

    The Negreira case

    lmao your ass. If you know something nobody else does, bring it forward. Or you can present it to the court and join the trial as a private party, just like your club has.

    The Negreira case

    Well, before all the evidence is presented to show that the club indeed tried to influence the refs' decisions, it is innocent, despite what Madrid and whatever fans say.

    New 2022-2023 Barca kits

    Autographed by the entire squad? That might be worth it.

    The Negreira case

    https://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/culemania/palco/uefa-prepara-su-peor-venganza-contra-barca-por-superliga_783251_102.html A couple of things: (1) Even if we were deemed guilty, the UEFA ban will most likely take several years to materialize after all the appeals and court fights. (2) UEFA...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Not buying it. We don't even have the salary mass for any new signings this summer, let alone Messi?

    The Negreira case

    Agreed that it doesn't matter whether we allegedly paid to get favorite decisions or "fair" decisions, as long as the intent was to somehow influence the refs' decisions one way or the other, it is indefensible. The problem with the extortion claim is, how come we are the only club that was...

    The Negreira case

    I understand that Laporta wants to wait for the external investigation to be wrapped up but the longer the club stays silent and offers no explanations (Laporta's public bravado etc. doesn't count), the more culpable we look.

    Javier Tebas (LFP President)

    Tebas takes every opportunity to proclaim that he is a Madrid fan, tooting their horn, really disgusting. Tebas on the upcoming el Clasico and wanting Madrid to win the league: "As long as there are points there are possibilities, Real Madrid is at a great level, like Barcelona, but there will...

    The Negreira case

    What variance? Basically just your wishy washy speculation. Nobody is saying paying millions to high ranking officials of ref organization is good, and you have seen Barca fans here saying the club deserves all the punishment, including relegation and stripping titles etc, IF proven that we...

    The Negreira case

    "Only" or not, what you said above did imply that money bought those titles and trophies, didn't it?

    The Negreira case

    Red herring? What the heck were you trying to insinuate with this "I would say 16 league and 13 Copa del Rey titles since the 90s, vs Madrid with 10 / 7, is quite fantastic. Seems it was money well spent." then? You responded with perceived cases of Barca receiving favorite calls. Who hasn't...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Yeah, it makes little sense to sell Frenkie, even for a large sum when we can't spend much for a replacement or better (IF we can get one). Offloading his wages won't make that much of a dent on the wage bill either.

    The Negreira case

    Now the CSD (Higher Sport Council) is a dog in the fight too. Jose Manuel Franco: "I ask Mr. Laporta to clarify once and for all what has happened, if there are things that we do not know, to say them, the social mass of FC Barcelona also deserves an explanation"...

    6 - Gavi

    Haha, we always "assure" things after something bad happens. In this case, since the court has deemed the appeal being late, I doubt there is anything we can do to challenge it.

    6 - Gavi

    Any idea why we were late filing the appeal? Catalan incompetence? If his buyout is 50m or 30m, there might be teams that will want to trigger it, but I doubt he will want to leave.

    The Negreira case

    Anecdotal bits and pieces. As if Madrid didn't receive any favorite calls. All top clubs did. Which is entirely different from what I have been asking you: Where is the evidence that Barca won the titles all those years only thanks to favorite calls?
