Nothing original. But how do you count the transfers, you know, the bread and butter of football clubs? They seem spot on. You credit Laporta with none of that and direct all of it to his delegates basically?
I was speaking from the holistic perspective, referring to charting and drawing plans to expand our revenue streams and exploring new forays to grow the club etc., kind of like what Bartomeu did with creating Barca Corporate. I haven't seen anything from Laporta yet.
As to the transfers, that's about building the squad, nothing strategic about it. Of course, one can say so and so was bought as an investment for the future etc. We will have to wait and see how these transfer turn out. I like Raphinha's and Kounde's transfer very much, of all the transfers we had this summer.
Edit: I will say though, strategically Laporta did do something: He made a big gamble by selling our rights and assets and mortgaging our future to invest hugely in the squad right now, thinking this is the only way for the brand to not lose value. Whether he has sewn the seeds of our misery, or we will be reaping his benefits in the future, remains to be seen.
