andrewbaba44:
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

andrewbaba44:
I feel Newcastle might even pose more problem to Barca than psg and Chelsea

Kilishihunter:
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

I don gather courage.
Chelsea and psg abi? Oya gbewa.

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.

Highline

Kilishihunter:
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

andrewbaba44:
Na camp nou generate income pass for Europe o

You no see as Laporta Dey rush the stadium

E get why

Kilishihunter:
Be like una don dey underestimate tebas, if we do mistake produce another lamine yamal tomorrow he fit find way to close down lamasia

andrewbaba44:
Make sure you shave clean sha

Thoth02:
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 ??

jpmoriarti:
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.

andrewbaba44:
Na there dem go take kpai am

Close la masia ke

Kilishihunter:
That old man fit do anything for our downfall bros 😂

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?

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.

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

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.
