    Frenkie de Jong

    Lewa and Raphinha alone (counting the reported add-ons) are costing us less than Coutinho base transfer fee. If we sell Frenkie, we are spending less than 60M net in the whole summer while improving our wage structure and team at the same time.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Jorginho and Kante are too old, not as good as once was, and have 1 year left in contract

    Frenkie de Jong

    This is what I think. Also, if we want him to honour last contract, it means he has a legal case for getting his deferred wage if he leaves, while in the current contract the deferred wage isn't legally his.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Mariano Diaz

    Every club in the world puts pressure on their bums to leave, or taking paycut. Every fanbase hates to see a player over paid while providing nothing of worth. Barca has just been easy target because we had to do it in full force due to Bartomeu special

    2022 Gamper Trophy

    We have beaten Chapecoense 5-0 months after their plan crushed. Fair to say we have killer mentality in Joan Gamper trophy :pique:

    Premier League 2022/2023

    I would say it was the opposite actually, by the time he reached his prime it was Xavi who benefited more from prime Busquets. And yes, he was all time great in press resistant, you can ask all those Manu players who talked specifically about his performances in the finals and how it was a...

    Premier League 2022/2023

    Busquets biggest strengths in his prime was ability to suck pressure, and being at the right place at the right time. The later he used to prevent counter attacks before it even happens while the former made us the best team on the ball. Currently he is a liability against pressing from top...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I do wonder if Frenkie really wants to join Ten Hag? Everyone assumes that since he was his previous coach during his rise, that means Frenkie should love to play for him. But it doesn't work that way, and maybe there are aspects that makes De Jong not like the guy.

    Memphis Depay

    We paid 20M in addition to Abel Ruiz, for someone who was 20 years old highly rated winger. Abel would have gone for free otherwise. Depay is an attacker who failed to impress in 2 big clubs at the age of 28. No big club but Barca was after him when he was free agent. Why people think it got...

    Neymar Jr.

    Juve reached CL final using it many times in 2017 iirc.

    Didn't Tuchel win CL with it?

    FC Barcelona Finances

    tbf this is the same salary cap rules across European football. I think major issue is that it really incentives "working around it" by changing valyes. Arthur-Pjanic are major examples, each club inflated values and everything is good on short term. Heck, ironically both Barca and Juve can...

    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Managers cannot win without elite players. Especially when other teams are hiring top managers at same time.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    I think it is because of salary cap. You can't just make an American version of salary cap in football and include only salaries. So depreciation included makes sense.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Well, the man who was behind those recruitment is gone. Let's see if his successor is as good.

    We already paid 100M to Golden Sachs according to Laporta

    Yusuf Demir

    We didn't, it was known Barca B was a loophole to register young players easily without Liga permission. Once we were able to register him with 1st team we registered him where he belongs from the agreement with both the player, and Rapid.

    Yusuf Demir

    So basically, even MLS clubs weren't really that willing to get him :lol:
