    Philippe Coutinho

    Honestly, I think retiring numbers are bad idea. Let future generation be inspired to wear the jersey of their idols in the future.

    Miralem Pjanic

    Locatelli will be officially signed next summer if they qualify to CL btw. They didn't bend that much, they hold their ground for their asking price, Just deferred paying to later That is good considering the player refusing to go to EPL

    Joan Laporta

    UEFA already heading toward tax money replacing FFP, so no one cares about FFP atm. Spanish salary cap is the one that matters atm, and as I said we were encountering losses and were going to be over the cap regardless of any Laporta's move. He just decided to put all the loss on last year and...

    Philippe Coutinho

    Giving him 10 removes pressure from whomever is coming next to wear that number

    Samuel Umtiti

    This will be Umtiti defense most likely, and surely the paper work will be far more complicated. But the point B here is to establish what ajnotkeith later said. The amount of money that will be paid for Umtiti by another club will be deducted from his money that he is going to be paid by FCB...

    Eduardo Camavinga

    Thanks for the post, really informative :thumbsup: I do know he is an elite talent, but in our situation we have to be selective. Who knows, maybe next year we can get him for free. Interesting case to follow. This is something I strongly disagree with. FDJ game is very vertical which is...

    Philippe Coutinho

    Yes, he can be a useful rotation, even better than that if he proves believers right, or worse if he believes doubters to be correct. But coming from 2 knees surgeries at the age of 29, I don't think the club is willing to take the risk. If he accepts a pay cut he will be welcomed to stay, if...

    Philippe Coutinho

    Coutinho isn't a starter here under almost any formation. The trio of Pedri/FDJ/Busquets has their places cemented deservingly under any formation, whether it is 433, 4231, 352 or 343. After that you have Fati and Depay unquestionably ahead of him in attack as either CF/LW/SS That leaves a...

    Eduardo Camavinga

    Does he play as DM? My understanding he is more of CM/b2b. In such case, he really doesn't work with those 2

    Samuel Umtiti

    Those clubs already made offers for loan with us, so we already have the proof.

    Samuel Umtiti

    But he can't, because with other offers we already established he has a value and clubs are offering him X amount of money. That is why we waited. For example if a club offered him 5M of his salary (now, while he is under contract with us), he can't get paid 1 euro and then ask us for 5M, in...

    Samuel Umtiti

    Because: A-he will need to show he couldn't be paid elsewhere. He can't get any extra money from other team. So, hypothetically, if he gets 10M atm, and Lyon pays him 3M, the club only owe him 7M. If he wants to collect his whole check he needs to stay free agent. B-The club actually waited...

    Miralem Pjanic

    Allegri actually insisted on both, his transfer was never related to Locatelli. But Juve needs to move Ramsey before they get him

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, it is obvious if we our home grown step up and solve our issues we will go for the star players since most of our weaknesses are covered :lol: The names I mentioned are also hypothetical btw, could be other names. But I honestly keep wondering about this tbh, what is the best approach for...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I agree with all the points you make, but I wonder if we have a normal budget next year somehow, what strategy should we do? Do we go all in and add one star player like Haland if we can somehow manage to get him? I understand it sounds like a pipedream now but let's assume it is feasible. Or...

    Joan Laporta

    I don't think this is correct. We were over the salary limit regardless of any of our moves, while we were always going to either renew Messi before June or use the 25% exception to re-sign him. With the later, the loss of Pjanic and Coutinho is in 20-21 year, which is on past board. Now you...

    If it is a double loan, I won't mind it tbh

    Joan Laporta

    Fans are the ones who makes player's legacy, and the ones who pays all the money one way or another. I can't blame Alba, but I can't blame fans for their reaction, it is very understandable

    Joan Laporta

    He doesn't own the club a thing for sure. But at the end, those players have a legacy here, that goes beyond "I earn money to play football" based on the contribution to the growth of the club. It goes to future jobs with the club and commercial success outside it too. In addition to...
