After a successful season. UCL Semifinal, LaLiga & Copa.

Knowing we have some glaring issues with the team, and our main CB also leaving. Where did we rank in spending?

1 - ATM - 176m (Trophy less for the past 2-3 seasons)

2 - Real Madrid - 167.5m (Trophy less season)

3 - Villareal - 102m

4 - Real Betis - 62m

5 - Barcelona - 27.5m (Struggled to even register the two players we bought)

6 - Girona - 27.2m

7 - Sociedad - 21.5m

You are telling me this is absolutely acceptable? Other LaLiga teams also have financial problems, so why we this bad?

There is alot of green on those income/expenditure LaLiga sheets.

Alot of red on those Premier League ones.

Thebe's is fookin delighted. Had a celebratory wank when the market closed last night.

Looking at players value Spain is selling to England, I think Spain is a glorified feeder league at this point. Also the prices Spanish teams get are trash. No negotiation power does that.

Every league is a feeder league to England at this point. There are few exceptions at club level (Barca, RM, Atletico, Bayern, PSG) but not at league level.

Most leagues seems to have made peace with this reality too, it is just fans who are bitter. It was always happening but Covid accelerated it.

Spain just has the advantage of actually producing good players, unlike Italy for example

 

[JamDav1982]

Overall the clubs in Spain ouwith the top few are not really producing or buying/selling good players.

Other leagues like France and Germany are doing that more and money from EPL pouring in to Germany.

It helps their league overall.

Bayern wanted Nico and he refused to go. Arsenal signed Zubi, Merino, Newcastle signed Isak. City signed the only Ballon d'Or winner EPL gave since 2008 from La Liga.

Isak and Rodri are two of the best transfers EPL clubs made from other leagues in the last decade.

Nico wanted Barca and refused move as he didnt believe them he would get registered.

Point is that La Liga players been among the biggest stars of EPL. You can go back all the way to Aguero, Silva also if you want.

Silva and Aguero are long ago. The point is about now.

La Liga is dwarfed in relation to Germany for what clubs are selling players on for outside of the top teams.

In Germanys case Bayern and in Spain Barca/Real and to some extent Atletico.

The issue with Nico might run deeper than Barca's salary cap, I'm afraid. For a second season in a row this kid rejects Barca. I sense something political. Recently Barca registered big transfers, despite the notion of us being limited financially.

He didnt believe them and Barca have needed injuries and releasing players to register players for less.

The viewership figures for the Rayo game, just confirms what I was saying about that game, and the general completiveness in la Liga vs all other top leagues outside of the EPL.

Everyone in Spain and those outside knew this game was a potential bananas skin for Barca, that doesn't exist in Germany and France, period.

While in serie A it does, but that league is so far behind in so many things it doesn't even matter.

Not as good as the EPL, that's obvious, but anyone who thinks winning la Liga is a small thing, non achievement or in anyway conparable to winning in France needs to stop talking about football.

Juan 'Money Mayweather' Aporta remains unbeaten. 🥊
