So Barca is signing;

Christensen
Lewandoski
Raphinha
Kessie
Azpilicueta
Kounde
Bernado (?)
Dembele re-signed

All while having just signed

Aubameyang
Ferran
Adama
Dani Alves


So much for “la masia”

If Xavi can’t get it done again who are we blaming now?

Meanwhile they owe Frenkie like 17 million in unpaid wages. :lol:
They had the chance to reset with the young kids and get out of the mess but just digging the hole bigger.

adama is back at wolves (loan)
alves free
christensen free
kessie free
dembele free with a 40% wage cut
aubameyang free
memphis free
ferran and raphinha signed on installments
and all those other guys aren't signed.
i can see lewa for 45 (+10) and kounde for 35 plus memphis

bartomeu paid more for coutinho than laporta did for ALL these players combined :lol:
and laporta got the whole team to take wage cuts and deferments

i love how you cats wanna bring up academies only when barca need to sign players.
please remind me the name of your academy and which players are featuring for your squad again?
 
Seeing as how your entire golden generation was former by Masia players and yall made a huge deal about “oMg MaDe iN La MaSiA” its very much hypocritical.

We never claimed to be that way, matter of fact its called La Fabrica because its a constant conveyor belt for talent for all clubs in La Liga, logically we only keep the cream of the crop. Its almost as if this approach would have lead us to more continental cups, almost.

Also the word “Free” is clearly not accurate unless you’re unaware that every single player that signs on “Free” gets paid a sign on bonus by the club, one of the big appeals for current players to go to other clubs for “free.” So you should probably get that sign on bonus info and revisit your statement about Laporta paying less than Bartomeu and let me know if your math adds up.

so when did you start counting signing bonuses when you list transfer fees ? how much did touchameni cost then 170?

how is fielding a whole team of homegrown talent and the greatest player of all time and being coached by la masia graduates all while dominating spain and europe to a historic sextuple not a big deal? it's pretty dumb to compare every generation to that generation that was a once in a lifetime squad and to try and hold that as the standard. that's the goal not the standard. la masia is still putting out plenty of talent.

but lets hold la fabrica since it produces so much talent to that same standard you set for la masia and see how far it falls short
 
Just get back to United's training camp and stop tarnishing your legacy.

ETH when he links back up with the squad:

Him and Mendes played themselves hard here :lol:, should've only gone public if they actually had offers. Now it's just been embarrassing whoring him out across Europe only to be turned down at every turn. CL contending teams don't have the need for a 37 year old who doesn't press much or track back, shocker...

Only place he can get CL footy that seems realistic at this stage is a return to Sporting but he probably feels it's beneath him going back to Portugal with Messi in one of the best teams in the world.

Getting served a healthy dose of reality/humble pie this summer, much more than he would've had simply playing in Europa. Hopefully that'll mean he comes back motivated with a point to prove instead of sulking.
 
Seriously, what a freakin' mess. Again... seems everyone wants this to happen EXCEPT the player. 🤦‍♂️
At this point I don't know who would want to stay after all that, first they've been trying to defer his wages and not pay what he's owed rn until sometime in the future all while still trying to splurge in the market and sign other players on big money then now they're straight telling him to **** off :lol:

I'd be fed up tbh and apparently his agent is. FWIW all the reliable UK journo's have been saying that the club's repeatedly gotten assurances that he'd be willing to move and link up with ETH again. Don't think they'd ever be in this deep otherwise

Well damn….. :lol:

You’ve taken the “Ronaldo wants to leave” news incredibly hard. :lol
 
Also loving the look of Lisandro, aggressive defending and actually looks like a footballer with the ball at his feet...

Harry's about to have a much shorter leash this season
