You just put it right! daylight robbery! They must be very stupid to ask for 200 million!

They better win the treble come the end of season. .

Imagine rubbing shoulders with us

ddippset:
common bro, how would you know they are lieing? let's tell ourselves the truth if what they have said is all true then who would blame the board. sentiments aside let's speak the truth. they only knew in july neymar was leaving. they have the messages in their phones.

I do not, and will NEVER believe this board including that balderdash of Liverpool wanting 200m it's all lies. Did Messi wed in July? They were never serious enough as regards pipo sef. They only find a way to balance the books n use that to deceive gullible supporters while the team keeps deteriorating

VivaLaByke:

They knew Neymar was leaving by May 10.

do you have proof? I bet if anyone knew in may neymar was leaving the world of football would have known. even before messi's wedding not a single rumour was heard!!! haba, in this human world?? in july even the body language of messi pique suarez and co was one of great surprise and shock. until i see proof i won't agree anybody knew in may neymar was leaving.

will watch liverpool closely this season. they better win the epl. haba 200 million.

This was how some arsenal fans were living in denial of their incompetent board/wenger till it dawned on them. Some barca fans were also living in Enrique denial until they saw the light; sooner they'll see how unreliable, fraudulent n stupid this board is

When we suddenly signed Andre Gomes in 2016,who the fück knew before hand?

Who knew Bayern were trying to get James on loan from Real Madrid?

I can't be arsed arguing about Bartomeu with you,keep drinking their kool aid.

It's hard to believe the board knew neymar was leaving and they spent a good part of june/july trying to buy verrati. not even a replacement for neymar. the press say the board knew in may the samr fuccking press say the decision was made at messi's party. the press sometimes throws alot of bullsh1t. our problem started with neymar taking the board unawares. clubs knew we were a desperate club with 222 mil and started toying with us.

now what sort of analogy are you throwing up? could planning to sign andre gomez be of equal spectacle with iniesta planning to leave barca? could james (bench warmer) leaving on loan to bayern create the same awe or interest as bale planning to quit real madrid? barca signing andre gomez (a nobody before he joined ) is not news. james leaving real madrid was never news, inconsequential!!! you can believe whatever side of the story you wish to believe o. but for me, anybody telling me neymar informed the board he was leaving since may is bullest shiit I ever heard.

Please when does this current board tenure ends

no am not. unlike you guys I am only more pissed at other clubs for trying to rip us off than at the board themselves. what pique said was that he knew neymar was leaving before he posted 'se queda'. he posted 'se queda' on july 23.

Let's assume the Board didn't know Ney was leaving until July..The truth is reasonable fans knew Barca needed a RB,AMF and CMF as at the end of last season...Since Xavi our Main CMF left we didn't replace him,We didn't replace Dani either,Iniesta is still the Illusionista but the pace at which he does his magic is now slow and now gets easily caught up with plus he wasn't fit for most of last season..So even before the Neymar saga We needed replacements in those positions listed above..Veratti wasnt chased at all,No bid was submitted,It was all media propaganda,We were swift in getting Semedo as our RB,Why wasn't d same Swiftness used in replacing the other two positions?..What people dont understand is Coutihno wasn't chased as a replacement for Neymar,He was chased to replace Iniesta so He should have been chased even before the Neymar saga started at all..So because Neymar left we then suddenly realized we should replace Iniesta?..We didnt replace Iniesta, We didnt get Coutihno nor Seri(even though i never see d guy kick ball before)...Instead we got Paulihno..The boards ineptitude and Mumu attitude is the reason we are in this Mess.
