Barca has 3 players over the age of 30, two of them are backup GK. The only 30+ players we signed under Laporta in 5 summer transfer windows and 4 winter ones were: Aguero: was our best attacking option until he was forced into retirement. Alves: minimum wage 6 months rental. Auba: free...

Irrelevant example another time. Pedri was Segunda starter who cost 5M + add-ons, during time of our financial dominance. Same exact deal we have with Cardoso Varela, which is a good deal.

My argument that you aren't making sense. No club in financial trouble is paying for 16 years old CB in Croatian league before he plays. That is absolute nonsense. Such money is paid for attacking talents that have certain value. You are using irrelevant example to prove it. Here is BVB U18...

By abandoning trophies

The rumour is essentially Inter going for him, with Romano (possibly with Mendes suggestion/approval) mentioning us and Juve to create illusion if market.

Again, you are totally ignoring opportunity cost. There is a reason only EPL aling RM & PSG being the ones that pays such premium prices for total unknowns. I am not sure what is hard to grasp here. And Firpo is another totally unrelated example like the other ones 🙄

It is rumoured to be a loan + buy option. If so, it shouldn't affect our winter signings.

He was signed by Spurs in summer 2023 with less than 600 minutes in first team football at Croatia. You think at the time it is normal for Barca to splash that money on such a CB prospect? There is a price for being proven, and it changes by how much you have proved yourself. This is just the...

News from bein and Filgoal (Egypt's top football site) are both saying that deal is very close and that Barca latest offer is fairly satisfactory. On another news, he just picked a minor injury an hour ago in a meaningless league cup game

If you can't afford 40M players, you can't afford 12M prospects. It is as simple as that regardless the strength of your scouting department. Being broke affects those chesp signings equally to the expensive ones. There are no scouting in the world that can guarantee a sure thing, and you...

We were interested and got outbid iirc. It is always difficult to warrant splashing 12M for someone before he is in first team.

Matteo Moretto said Barca is eyeing a young CB in the next window, he said he will reveal the name(s) in the next few days. It could be typical bs, but he is fairly reliable. The "young" CB that were mentioned in the media before were Luka Vuskovic, who we practically has no chance to get, and...

I didn't watch enough games tbh, but everyone I know who follows it is saying it has been a blast and very entertaining.

WTF, he was finally getting his form and doing well. I hope he recovers well and continue from where he was.

Pedri absolutely doesn't lack intensity, whatsoever, like it this is a total bs. He is the total opposite of that. It is the same bs that was said about Xavi in Rijkaard days. He also has very good speed for a midfielder. Torres doesn't lack either, he isn't a standout but he doesn't lack...

Soft is a nice term by casuals, but it really describes nothing. Niether Ferran nor Pedri lack speed, athletic ability or strength. Other than Lewa, Barca is a fairly athletic. We are also fairly physical team. Raphinha is a physical demon, but there are few of those in any big teams. Maybe...

It is a problem once we are pressed, we lack players to get out of tight spaces tbf beside Pedri and Lamine and to lesser extent Frenkie. Defense specifically is an issue here, even Cubarsi isn't that good once he is pressed, he is good in making it someone's else problem rather than getting it...

That is a valid concern, Barca historically treated defense as an afterthought. However, the one thing that gives me glimpses of hope is the J. Garcia deal. the club could have had an out with Tek and MATS but focused on securing a GK. I agree with that, Barca has a problem technically and...
