Memphis goal ball
This guy has actually been pretty good this preseason

Ansu fati is not ready to be a starter yet.
He go dey come from bench this season.

Pjanic can be really good competition for busquets concerning the CDM role, Wonderful long ball to pick out Memphis

Thank God Aubameyang is not going to be a starter this season.

That guy poor touches on the ball turns my stomach.

E go shock you as una go take go trophyless this season... with all this buys and una no deliver ehnn, i trust devvy and the gang plus the EPL boys wey just dey one side dey wait for any fvckups lmao

Will take care of epl boys and that demented kid

We end this American tour with 3 wins and a draw.

Up next is Gamper trophy match next sunday.

Ah no fit come dey crack my head now to remember the squad at Pep's disposal then if e reason just as you just talk now to drop Messi one side, use Ibra and co take dey fire first! first!

all i'm saying is it'll be a shame and my happiness if Fati doesn't fulfill his potential now all in the name of "there's new shining toys in town, let's play with them first"

Messi that time was just too electric to be dropped for anybody. No youngster comes close.. Couples with Fati's injury scare, I'll allow him heal well abeg

This match has to be the worst we have played so far, Even Fati was just playing with the ball and not acting serious, Most players were misplacing the ball in the second half only Memphis and Pjanic were the standout players to me, The red bulls GK was good though

Y'all should watch out for balde. He's a future 'best Left back in the world'.





Him and Davies go dey drag am

Lol. Those two GKs were on a mission not to allow us to score. Just imagine the saves

We might just have our own Alphonse Davies in that lad, Apart from midfielders la masia tends to produce really good LBs sha

Although I say it again, Barca were quick to have given that No. 10 shirt out. Just too quick

Kilishihunter:
I think fdj will end up staying sha and hopefully help us return to the top but make e reduce salary fess
Kessie should come in the second half to come bully those Yankee boys

Make e stay.

Kessie no too buy today. We just play big man football like say nothing and those fools too turn themselves to real Madrid. No shot on target

In less than 50mins now

FirstbornWds:
Lol. Abi.

I dey fear more for how he go take adapt him tactics to take manage haaland, not that he won't score from plenty service but with a traditional striker who's not adept to the false 9 position it might be harder against tougher opponents when your main striker hardly flows in sync with the rest of the team operating behind him, See how Alvarez just dey flow, dey move, I just hope it's not another Zlatan de ja vu again

Who dey check am ?!

I candidly think he needs that proper 9. Hall and must learn to connect with the ball flow and eventually not just be a traditional 9. E sha get as Lewy and Benz and Suarez of then day drop day collect without being false 9s. It'll be challenging but Pep gats make it work. That guy must not go the Ibra route.


Alvarez na baller. Beeing a fan for a long time.

Joviegghead just carry this form enter new season

Pique's Slayer

�️ Xavi Lemus [Journalist]: “Baldé has shown this pre-season what he is capable of. If Barça do not consider him as an alternative to Alba, he should be loaned out. In order to continue progressing in the future, they should NOT repeat the mistakes like the sales of Grimaldo and Cucurella.” �

Agree or not? �

Has he left Araujo pocket?

No one deserves that no 10 shirt. I was so disappointed fati was given the shirt.

The boy is still coming up.
Honestly, with the way he's playing, I don't think he'll be able to bench Raphina or dembele.

Those 2 are sending the right message to xavi.. Lewa is untouchable as well.

This is just preseason no big deal after week ten then if Fati isn't performing then you consider he is not ready perhaps yesterday he was just catching cruise

BARCELONA WILL NOT HAVE PROBLEMS REGISTERING THE SIGNINGS, ACCORDING to AN EXPERT

The economist Iván Cabeza , an expert in the numbers of FC Barcelona , ​​is certain that before August 31, when the market closes, the Barça club will have registered "all the players they have signed, because now" He is in a normal situation" in which he does not depend on the rule that only allowed him to invest one euro in footballers for every three he released.

This was explained in an interview with EFE. Barcelona is the football club that has spent the most money (153 million euros without counting the possible variables) in this summer transfer market and the football world wonders how the situation could have been reversed after the delicate economic situation that proceeds.

But the explanation does not lie in magic, but in the activation of the 'levers' that have allowed him to sign world-class players such as Robert Lewandowski (45), Jules Koundé (50) and ' Raphinha ' (58). With this investment figure, Barça is ahead of Bayern Munich and Arsenal, who spent 137.5 million and 132 million, respectively, according to the 'Transfermarkt' portal.

The so-called 'levers' are nothing more than the sale of club assets during a certain period of time. At the moment, the Barça club has sold 25% of the television rights of LaLiga for the next 25 years to the North American investment fund Sixth Street in exchange for 519 million, which represents an accounting capital gain of 667 million for the Barça coffers.

The first consequence of this income (100 million has been used to return a part of the loan from Goldman Sachs) has been that FC Barcelona has been able to quickly reverse the net worth, which at the end of the 2020-2021 academic year was negative by 451 million euros.

"It is very likely that Barça has already entered all the money from Sixth Street or, at least, a large part of it," Iván Cabeza explains to EFE . Thus, this income is also allowing the Barça entity to undertake world-class signings that they could not have even dreamed of just a few months ago.

Lewandowski , Raphinha and Koundé are three renowned players who will allow Barça to opt for all the titles in the course that is about to start. In addition, Franck Kessié and Andreas Christensen have arrived free , and the transfer market still has a month to go before it closes.

Despite the fact that there is talk of the possible need to execute a new 'lever' (the sale of up to 49% of Barça Studios, the club's audiovisual production company) or to sell valuable players such as the Dutch Frenkie de Jong or Memphis Depay to be able to register all the signings, Cabeza does not consider it necessary in this regard.

"Thanks to the 'levers', Barça may now already have the capacity to register all the players it has signed up to now. And, if not, it is very close to achieving it," says the economist, who at all times leaves Of course, his assessments cannot be exact because the club has not made public most of the data on the operations.

The sale of the club's assets has allowed a Copernican turn in the economic and sporting situation of Barça. But only time will tell if the move has gone well for Joan Laporta 's board in the medium and long term .

"For it to go well, it is not as important to win titles as to compete until the end, generating a brand. You must get back to where you were. This way you will always generate a lot of income (sponsorships, ticket sales, among others) that will allow you to reverse what you will stop entering annually because of the sale of assets", analyzes Cabeza .

The final challenge, according to the economist, "is to have a sustainable club, that the income at the end of the season is always higher than the wage bill, because in this way the debt can be covered (the last figure was 1,350 million, in the absence of close the financing of up to 1,500 million for the Espai Barça) and recover the income that you will not have for television rights (just over 40 per season)".

There is no turning back. Laporta has activated his solution to the situation inherited from the board of directors of Josep Maria Bartomeu . The performance of the team and the ability of the offices to convert the possible sporting successes into income will dictate the sentence.
