    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Doubt Diaz would reject that, it is ideal situation for him, you are there to compete with 32 years old Romeu in FC Barcelona, doesn't get better than that. Unless he wants a stepping stone club, but he would have moved already if it was about that. I think it is more about finances as @Porque...

    Don't know the guy, but he wrote about him before our interest is known.

    Now, that puts a question on his decision making :troll:

    Oriol Romeu

    Let's be clear with few things, first the obvious one that he is an underwhelming choice. Second, he isn't a Southampton reject, he started 201 EPL for them and played 239 EPL total in 7 seasons there. Considering injuries and suspensions he was absolutely a starter there. He moved out when he...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    Atletico is actually one of the few Liga clubs that will actually pay full salary and add a little extra cash for us. This is why we keep making deals with them. It is always less than what they should pay for the player, and that is why they keep dealing with us. It is a win win relationship...

    Adama was the last one, with Luuk before him too.

    Vitor Roque

    They compare him to R9 in Brazil btw, but only because they both start in Cruzeiro and are CF. Ironically his sale is one of the first things that happened after Ronaldo bought the club. Although it was a release clause.

    It was said before that there is 2 ballon dor clauses after the 10M ones. So it seems like 30M + 15M + 16M(ballon) Still amazing and fair deal IMO

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Apparently the guy is covering Vasco and a bit reliable. Romano with quick deny although his connection to Chelsea doesn't make him best source to deny it. Weird rumour tbh

    Arda Güler

    Of coarse we pay a lot, and every big club does that any way. That doesn't mean you can't be out bid. Each club has a limt to what they can pay for certain players, even City had Arsenal out bid them for Rice

    Vitor Roque

    Because it is about package and cap space. Eric Garcia cost less but we struggled to register him 2 years ago because of finances. Regarding Roque, if we sign him now he is counted against cap space, even with loan his amortization he would count against it. So now, we have 3 options, sign now...

    It didn't work for Guler, or Wijnaldum, Donnarumma and probably many others we don't know about and others in the future. But I think you miss the point here. In our financial situation, we shouldn't even be trying to get Arda or Roqu, but rather settle with a class C transfer. A 5M prospect...

    Laporta is a "dream big" type of guy, he tries not to just settle. Normally we aren't able to get 35M + 10M deal done, beside Gundogan and Inigo. Laporta is gambler, he do it, usually with a tight calculations that depends on factors not 100% on him. This allows us to improve quality of the...

    Starting vs Flamengo in the Cup, game in few minutes. Flamengo has Barcaforum legends Gerson and G, Barbosa (later won't play though) and overall their squad seems like one of the best. Would be another good test for him. Also Wesley França whom we had an eye on as a future RB.

    Most Overrated Player in the Modern Era

    For some reason, I always preferred Fernando Morientes over him :ROFLMAO:

    Joan Laporta

    Under Laporta second tenure, you could argue only awful transfer was Ferran tbh Renewal of Fati on high wage is probably second worst move IMO. There is a bunch of 5/10 moves and not many great ones. But overall they have done good work considering financial constraints. Jury's still on Deco...

    Iñigo Martínez

    He was in Sociedad with 40M or less release clause. Ernesto wanted him but Abidal refused so he moved to Athletic to replace Laporte

    Most Overrated Player in the Modern Era

    Zidane for me, which is unpopular opinion. Great player, one of the best in his generation for sure. But he wasn't top 2 of that time period as he is widely regarded (along Ronaldo). Was blessed with one of the best generations in NT and even at club level.

    Joan Laporta

    Laporta didn't leak shit to the press this summer. Arda camp were leaking all kind of stuff, Turkish press also had a field day as it was rare chance to have the eyes on them. Deco was spotted there and the media knew where he was heading. Laporta just confirmed what was already known. The...
