Hopefully we're spending the money wisely.
Barca Transfers and Rumors
- Thread starter Barcaman
- Start date
We have to pay to get rid of some of the players though. Paying out their contract with us is not free. We are better off loaning them out while paying part of their wages until their contract expires.

Yes, they do have some help iñ Cl but they have pedigree in the competition. They can win it even when their average season form is below par. With Barca even if we play well there is the chance we can lose. Look at Chelsea and Inter losses under Pep.
It's a competition we need to win on a more regular basis. If we can go and retain it it will become more embedded in our DNA. Even with the greatest player in history we've won it only four times. Time is running out. Messi isn't getting any younger and prices in the transfer market are beyond insane. We may end up like Liverpool or Milan if we aren't smart.

Must be a ploy by his agent to get a better contract from PSG. I'm not believing any of this until I see an official announcement. It's just way too good to be true.

I've read somewhere that Benfica rates Semedo as their best talent, and, accordingly, will be sold for more money.

Probably is, but hype sells and he isn't nearly as hyped as others. Even Danilo whose hype was off the charts cost Madrid 35m from Porto.
Not to forget Renato Sanches who was let go for the same amount.
With some smart negotiating I think we could pull it off in the 35m - 40m range.

If Lindelof was 35m then Semedo should be 25-30m. Lindelof has been highly rated for a couple of years now while Semedo has been recent.
I bet our stupid board pay 40 million plus add ons.

I think the real reason why Madrid is dominating Europe is b.c they have the best team in the world. When I say the best team, I don't only mean their starting 11 (Which madrid never really had one), but also their bench players . If Cristiano and Bale and Benzema were struggling, they had other players who showed up. Isco, James, Asensio are among those player madrid could rely on,even morata at times. Real Madrid has the best bench in the world. They have players in their bench that could easily make it into their starting 11 and also ours, players like Asensio which I believe to be better than our, unfortunately, old Iniesta. In modern football, with so many games and competitions, having more than 11 players that can make a difference is what counts. With so many injuries, bad spells, tiredness, etc, having players that can come from the bench and be just as good as the ones playing is what sets Madrid from every other team. In other words, Madrid is the richest club in the world and finally understand that having 22 quality players is better than having 11. Also, Barcelona taught Perez ( madrid's president) that is best to try to sign the best spanish players instead of trying to sign players from other countries. There is no spanish players that could say No to Madrid, even Isco, a barcelona fan couldn't resist the amount of money Madrid were gonna offer him.
To summarize: Madrid have the best bench in Europe ( and probably the first or second best 11)
Madrid doesn't suffer when one of their top players ( Bale) gets injured b.c they have so many quality players to replace him with.
Madrid has signed the top spanish talent coming up ( Asensio, Isco, now they are after Theo hernandez whom I believe will be the best left back in spain in a couple years. Yes, I know that Theo Hernandez is french, but in the last few days there have been rumors that he has chosen to play for spain instead .

l think their wing backs and midfield made the difference, along with their bench.
Regarding Verratti, they are already talking about a extention with PSG. His agent always talks. According to him, Verratti signed for 100 clubs in the last 2 years. but PSG won't sell him. PSG wants to win CL and will invest heavily this summer.
