He is a successful agent, which is a very similar job to SD, despite being the opposite end if the table. That is more than Txiki when he joined us, more than Maldini when he joined AC Milan,and brought them back to glory.

If my calculations is right, Lenglet amortization is around 11M. I think that is the base we would accept for him. 15M seems the reasonable number tbh.

Messi isn't the only player to get growth hormones as a kid tbh. It is a nice theory, but far from "certainly". Not sure if you meant it literally.

It is difficult to replace every quality player tbh. Any proven WC player in any position, will cost at least 50M at your lucky day. That is what Kounde cost us, and he was the closest thing to proven commodity when we signed him as Pique's replacement. At the end of the day, you must take...

Prestianni looks a bit too small btw, which sometimes means nothing but others it makes you a new Giovinco. Last I heard is Benfica strongly pushing for him, but no European club will be able to have anything official until he gets his Italian passport which is expected in July.

25M is almost half the price of any alternative, and Xavi rates Amrabat, just not obsessed with him like he does with Zubimendi.

Torres is weird one, although I doubt his Man City wage. Kounde is logical, Chelsea went after him twice, he was getting crazy pay raise anyway. Kessie is good deal for a FA. Would like to see numbers of other big clubs when they sign players. Also, doubt numbers are very accurate, and...

This is also my thoughts if the reports are true indeed and not some media bs. A Pjanic/Arthur type of FFP maneuver.

Think we will try to get a cheap option like Amrabat, who can do the basics of the job, get Gundogan who can allow Frenkie to play more DM (as Gundogan provides depth for his position), try Eric for some games there, and sign a youngester like Diaz and hope he surprises. It isn't going to be...

We would have lost Dembele for free, wouldn't be able to register Barca B players for foreseeable future and hence weren't going to renew a single one of them. On other words, we won't have a margin of improvement, unless we sell every good player we have. Something like selling Pedri, Fati...

Despite popular opinion about Laporta, he always put faith in his sporting advisory. I highly doubt he is forcing a player om Xavi, unless it is a Crujif idea which is unlikely.

I have to agree with this tbh. Money ball is difficult when you try to win. Agents and teams will simply take advantage of you if you try it. There is a price for Barca/Manu/City/RM because of how big you are. No one is going to see AZ approach and say, let's raise the price for them. Also, I...

Looked involved from highlights tbh. Also, Deivid Washington looks good for them

The game against Sevilla was one of the worst games a CB has ever had in Barca shirt tbh. If it wasn't for Luuk, the ultimate Barca legend, De Jong typical Sevilla performance, Todibo could have been a reason for 3 or so goals. Kid had zero awareness at that time tbh

We loaned him twice, and at the end Nice offered us a good deal overall with option to buy with 800% of what we bought him for and 20% of future sale. Also, teams are way more invested in developing their own players, rather than loans. Nice wanted to take the risk and work with him step by...

And offer that is beyond 2026 is stupid IMO. His injury record alone is scary

Todibo had attitude problems that he himself admits. This one isn't on the club, he wasn't going to make it here regardless, he needed that "going back home" humbling experience to rebuild his football career. Not every talented player can start from the top, Todibo got hyped too soon and...

tbf, some actually do that.

Do you think he can fit a European top flight now? Had high hopes for the guy, but seems like a Barca B signing at thus point, if we ever get him.

He is Lillian's son.
