    Ousmane Dembélé

    Juve sources already denied any deal. He was offered to big clubs, no one yet has made even a better offer than us.

    Alvaro Morata

    Yeah, Morata can wait. If we fail to get a player who can change the dynamics of our attack, go for him on one year loan. Late Edit: We also have Depay & Braithwaite. Add one world class attacker, and this is actually a very good group for frontline, add a Morata and it is mediocre

    Alvaro Morata

    As I say in my edit, I can't see a "cheap" deal in winter market. And he is on 5M net salary, that isn't cheap. He won't come here for 3 or 4 years low salary. Best you hope is to pay Atletico 10M for last year of contract loan, and look at it from there. That will be decent option IF we...

    Daniel Alves

    Pique is more of a "it is all fun" type of guy who is actually smart man of the pitch. A bit provocative at times, nut for me he is rarely stupid. Alves is more of confrontational "say it as it is "who lacks a lot in the communication ability.

    Alvaro Morata

    Cheap loan is different from cheap buy. As a stop gap Morata is good, and this is what he was a good portion of his career, a guy you get on loan instead of paying for a player you don't like long term. But if you buy him, commit to him a 3 years contract, even for free, it is a bad deal...

    Alvaro Morata

    Do you judge a career of a guy who is 25 same way you judge someone who is 35 for example? I mean the 35 guy still has 25-35 years in his career, and the difference is just 10 years in age between the 2, yet no one will look at both at same length. Not sure why football should be any different.

    Luuk De Jong

    He helps with registration of young players, which allows Xavi to use Barca B players comfortably

    2021 Year Awards

    - Best Player: Messi, the other two barely made impact in this season, both were far inferior to Messi last season. - Best Match: CdR Final vs Bilbao, was a dominant show against good team for an important trophy. Probably only meaningful trophy in 3-4 years run. - Best Moment: Agree with...

    Read the same thing, which could be perfect for us tbh

    7 - Ferran Torres

    They don't like him as he is in direct war with Madrid and loves to mock Perez That said, CVC deal seems like a vote of confidence for him. He is a politician who knows how to get votes, playing "fighting the elites" card.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I mean Ronaldinho and Marquez was signed because the whole squad was negotiated for pay cuts in 2003. It isn't a new concept :lol: And those who stayed long enough, got pay raise when the club was in better situation.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Here: https://twitter.com/3gerardpique/status/1476320893056004102 Neither Pique or Friexa commented on that. So I assume Martinez knows his stuff. Assuming it is true, we still have 20M unpaid. Don't think that was the case with Moriba, Moriba was club youth product who, in some ways, owed...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    The idea with Moriba was to force him to agree for sale. With Dembele, i am not even sure we want to sell him. There were old rumours that if he is sold, we are obligated to give BVB all of the remaining add-ons.

    Philippe Coutinho

    Was doing some digging, seems like Brazil maximum tax rate is around 27% which is around 18% less than Spain, as Brazilian resident he will be taxed on worldwide income, so whatever we pay him, it is taxed on Brazilian rules and not Spanish. If they are ready to cover for his 20% net salary...

    No news about Cadiz deal?

    Alvaro Morata

    35M is Atletico demands, not Barca offer. It is worth a shot for them to try to "Bartomeu" us. We might be willing to insert buy option like Juve, or take him off their hands for full contract for some spare money. If we pay 40M for him, we probably should fire everyone in the club

    Alvaro Morata

    They are 1 point ahead of us in tight CL race. Makes sense Although I doubt Romero has any source inside Atletico

    Alvaro Morata

    Morata is the type of decent short term stop gap you sign when you can't find a proper long term striker and don't want to commit to 2nd fiddle. Buying him should never be an option. If it is just exchange with Depay for this season, it is ok. If we fail to get proper attacker next summer...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Two things regarding salaries: 1-Every player in big clubs earn a base salary and bonus one, from Messi till the Barca B kids, those raw numbers never tell the full story. 2-Contracts and salaries are private and legally protected documents that media won't get its hand on it easily, for...
