If this news is true then I think selling Fermin is a no-brainer. We have lots of players that can play the number 10 role.

I don't really believe the news sha but if Simons goes to Tottenham I think we'll be able to have more leverage to get a good fee for Fermin or he stays which is still ok for us, my own be say if e comot make them just carry that money buy smart CB

We'll even play tougher opponents in the knockouts if we qualify so it's better to start playing them now, i really don't have a problem if we lose to those teams as long as we win the rest and prepare very well in the next round so we might see if we can go further this time around, a lot of teams have strengthened their squads so it should be quite tough this season

Firstly that 100M bid news for fermin is fake

Secondly even if it’s real and we sell him ,you won’t buy any replacement ,let alone spending 100M for bastoni

Just wait for Barca to return fully to the camp nou for so many jolly signings

Yup looks fake. If you see the way many quality players are leaving laliga to other leagues for peanuts cause of that man named tebas I won't be surprised to see us still unable to buy players even after returning to the camp nou

I believe Chelsea and PSG are a stylistic fit for us than Newcastle or Arsenal or Inter. That's why I am excited to see how the matches will pan out.

Are we going to go for our ultra high line and risk everything? Do we have the tools to prevent another high scoring affair? I know we can hurt them attack-wise but if we don't play a very pragmatic match, they will hurt us bad on the break.

We should continue with the highline, it just has to be perfected against those teams...
My worry is that our defenders are not enough especially now that inigo is out. Seeing what happened to Kounde and Balde last season.. we need as many hands as possible.

And no, we are not selling fermin.

Has Gerard Martin being registered ??

Yes Gerard Martin has been registered finally.

Yes I’m very worried with our defence. I wasn’t impressed with what I witnessed against Levante. At some points, it looked like they were slicing us through like a damn cake 😭😭

Imagine what Chelsea and PSG with the million pounds squad will do to us😬😬 I shiver at the thought. If we go all in and risk everything, then we might be in for an absolute hiding 🫣

Obviously we’ve gotten weaker defensively after Iñigo departure.

I think Christensen can offer what we lost through inigo, it's just left for flick to see it. I am not afraid of Chelsea, they can do nothing to us. They will pose a challenge but we will beat them.



It is PSG. Make dem no beat us.

You will see. Once Barcelona is able to fix their financial issues and get back to 1:1, this draconian FFP rule will be relaxed by Tebas.

Ask yourself, where was this rule when Bartomeu squandered the club's finances and future? There was no rule.

Tebas intentionally let the club to self destruct under Bartomeu because that was what he wanted. Now that we're in trouble, he's made the FFP rule, so that the financial issues might become worse.

It was never about Barcelona being saved financially, it's about the financial situation continuing for as long as possible, so as to give Real Madrid as much advantage and head start as possible on the pitch.

If you can't beat them on the field, ensure you frustrate any path to financial recovery. Unfortunately this is the fight the club have had to endure.

Yes the club shot themselves on the foot a number of times but now it is Tebas making sure things don't ger better.

Winning the UCL in 2015 was like the discovery of oil in Nigeria; a blessing and also a curse. You won (UCL) number five but it also meant that Bartomeu continued as president. Bartomeu was very reckless with his spending at some point it was like money laundering.

When you spend over 120m each on Dembouz, Greizman, and Coutinho without winning something tangible, there are always going to be consequences. Add COVID to it and you're talking about total financial collapse. Fcckin Lenglet was earning more than Van dyjkk, who does that?

I don't think Tebas is witch hunting Barca. It's just the consequences of abysmal financial management. Barca was at a point of total financial collapse if not for Laporte. There's a reason why the president of Bayern said that Barca won't exist in some years before/after Lewy joined. He's been proven wrong and that's because of Laporte.

Ridiculous wages to Rakitic, Vidal, Pjanic, Pique, Suarez, Alba, Messi(deserved) and that of Dejong(astronomical) can't be forgotten. Barca, like Sevilla are suffering from past mistakes. At a point, Sevilla had four(4) strikers and they play with a one striker formation. They had like six (6) wingers yet only two can play. Add washed Rakitic and Ramos who where both not cheap in terms of wages and you must suffer for it.

Real Madrid, Tico and Villarreal are spending this season. With the addition of Mikautadze of Lyon, Villarreal have taken their spending this season to over 100m. Something Barca can't do right now. Why didn't Tebas restrict them, Real and Tico but only Barca. I get smaller teams are also affected I know but bone of contention is on Barca right now.

Laporte is the reason why Barca is still alive but he's also not doing well on wages. Lewandowdski's wage is crazy, Rashford is also on ridiculous wages. I heard he's on 300k or 280k. That's a lot for a bench warmer. Olmo is also on something big. This is the reason why most players who join Barca do not want to leave.

Like I said earlier on this topic, moderation is what Tebas must do to keep the league alive but Barca have themselves to blame as well.

I heard there was some financial/accounting shenanigans involving Arthur Melo on this deal but who buys a 75m player who was also going be a bench player and let him walk for free? This is absolutely ridiculous.

With New Camp Nou, road to financial recovery, make una just build statue give Laporte sha because if not for him......na SORRY grin

Tebas and Bartomeu was actually buddies. I also believe if he was still Barca's president the enforcement of the FFP rules won't be this strict.

But yeah, I agree with you, once Barca gets to the 1:1 the rule will be relaxed across board for everybody.

For all the talk about Bartomeu's financial recklessness, we actually had the capacity to undertake those signings notwithstanding at the time.

I mean Barca was the highest revenue generating club in the world back then, consecutively. We were the first club to surpass $1bn in revenue, and was consistently making close to that before we hit the milestone in 2016 and did around that range after.

As much as our wages and signings was massive then, the revenues could actually keep up with it. Only downside was that there was little profits like in the $15-30mn range but we could keep up with our spending despite not being a selling club.

We could actually keep up with the spending regardless of winning major trophies— UCL which you're implying, because we had a massive revenue generating push.

Was it sustainable? Maybe, maybe not.

What threw a spanner in the works was the global COVID-19 pandemic and the elimination of that massive revenue generating machine. That's where trouble started, cos no more revenue to match spending. And we were spending 3 times the revenue generated with the COVID closures. That year alone and subsequent 2021 wrecked the books. The financial losses were massive and subsequent debts, all that bludgeoned into something that couldn't be contained in the short term.

The problem with Bartomeu and the animosity fans have towards him is because all that massive spending of that era didn't lead to tangible sporting successes — the UCL. And the players never played to their true potential— they never delivered what was expected.

The rest is history.

Valid points all round. I also mentioned COVID in my previous post.

Not related to our conversation...@Kilishi, Andrew, okpa etc. Loic Bade is now at Leverkusen for just €25m. Una for try for am nah. Omoh what a miss that is.

If he was going to the EPL, nah at least 50m!
