honestly i would be open to the sale of dembele not the 50m release clause though.
even though i’ve been his biggest supporter, the talent he’s shown has been overshadowed by his inconsistency. hasn’t had one full strong szn at barca.
but if i had to choose, i’d still keep him. something tells me him moving for a good amount would be the best option for the club. torn really

Sheesh. Both of Barca’s 100m+ transfers didn’t really pan out the way they should have

Majority of 100m+ transfers haven't really panned out like that really. Only like Mbappe and Bale can be really go down as resounding successes.

He put up numbers and won trophies but they primarily bought him to get over the hump in the CL, which they said when they signed him, but it never happened.
Don't think that's down to him specifically but the amount they were spending on him did hurt their ability to fill out their main needs (midfield and defense) during those seasons.
The end of their Bayern like run of dominance in Serie A also coincided with his time there.
Even Neymar has been relatively successful in Paris but he was supposed to contend for B'Dors and take P$G a level up to the big boys table which they haven't really gotten to yet.
Only ones who really accomplished what was expected of them when they were bought and even surpass expectations so far have been Bale and Mbappe.

Speaking of Mbappe
Gonna be an interesting next week or so for that saga, gonna find out whether Real really make their move or he ends up sticking it out one more year to P$G's disapproval

If we’re getting Mbappe i’m pretty sure they want him to collect his $80M loyalty bonus paid out on 8/1.
But then again, no one really knows wtf is going on.

They won trophies while he was there. Them not winning champions league isn't a direct correlation to him. They didn't win it in years prior to him arriving. They thought Ronaldo alone would carry them over the hump while gutting the rest of the squad. They fell off the face of a cliff once he left. He was single handedly keeping them competitive.
They won trophies while he was there. Including two domestic titles. If that isn't success then I don't know what is.

The problem with the 100 million players is that a lot of them have been complete busts, I wouldn't put Ronaldo's move to Juve anywhere near that category, he was highly productive and they won trophies and titles.
There's also no longer a superstar criteria attached to the 100 million euro player. The market has changed it's just going rate for top young players. But still how Antony went for a 100 million is crazy, I **** on the move a lot, deservedly so.

He didn't go for 100m
, was definitely an overpay and could've gotten him for much cheaper earlier in the window but that's the price of wasting time and leaving the selling club in a bad spot.He still went for less than Mudryk though...

They definitely thought he was the missing piece when they signed him coming off the 3peat but yea they were a flawed team already. They crashed out surprisingly early though a few times though with him and the decline happened with him in the team.
Individually he wasn't anywhere near a failure but they didn't end up getting what they hoped to achieve with him. They pretty much stayed at the level they had been for years before falling off

Man's like a regista at goalie
The way he was going in on Maguire and McTom for turning the ball over in a dangerous spot too is something that's been missing too
Can't wait to see ETH's full XI after this summer, getting a target man in at no.9 and being able to play a high line at back unlike at Inter is gonna get the most out of Onana's abilities.
