Pedri na the heart and soul of this team...

CONFIRMED.

AirBere:
The state of refereeing in Laliga is like that of the NPL. I think during the last UCL or the one before that, no Laliga ref was selected by UEFA similar to how no NPL ref was allowed in AFCON. It's one of the reasons why EPL is far ahead of the league.

Meanwhile, Barca didn't take their chances, they also missed a pen and played too open making Garcia go make saves after save.

So they lost because of themselves and then the ref. Kounde was fouled similar to how Kubo was fouled and Fermin's goal was ruled out Vs Real Sociaeda.

OhBritannia:
If hansi flick refuses to change his highline nonsense.
He should leave the club when season ends.

We need a massive attack and a massive defence minded coach like Klop.

Franktom247:
It's no more Raphinha
We should just drop any high expectations and for those who think Madrid will drop any points till the end of the season keep dreaming

BykeLaByke:
Madrid will drop points.

BykeLaByke:
Madrid will drop points.

Kilishihunter:
Abdul if we get to at least the quarters of the UCL or win laliga can we get enough financial margin to try for either osimhen or Alvarez

jpmoriarti:
We must have been so horrible to have lost 4 - 0 to this Atletico Madrid side.😬😬

Debroslink:
After spending days complaining of referees, you now realise the team is full of average players. At least, you are back to reality.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
200m ? For Julian Alvarez..

Nonsense. ATM dey craze

Gucciboy:
But release clause for Ronald araujo is €1bn ,same for most of your players

It depends on the asking price of these players. Alvarez? I highly doubt it. I don't think Atleti will ask anything below €120-140mn. That's above our pay grade for now on a single player.

What I can tell you is that in my opinion and the little I can observe and predict on our financials; I'd like to think Barca can go for a €70mn purchase. We can go for €100mn spending as well but that will most likely be helped with a significant sale or income of around €20mn+. And I doubt we would want to splash €100mn this soon on a single player.


The key now, is how quickly we get the approval to finally fill up our current stadium 62k capacity. So once we get that and steady attendance and the expected sum, we can at least spend €100mn overall this summer. What might be some really good boost is if Limak the construction company can start installing the VIP boxes before this summer and in active use. That way the money we sold the boxes for would be validated. So that one probably takes care of player sales or not.

This is guess work, but more calculated guesswork based on us returning back to Camp Nou and the clubs published expected earnings.

We're most likely surpassing €1bn revenue this season/fiscal year (last year= €950mn)....salary-to-revenue ratio sits at 54% currently from a high of 98% few years ago. UEFA's recommendation is 70%.
So we pretty much good in the books. What's remaining is to finally ratify it in the next transfer window.

So looking at these..... €100mn-120mn spending war chest is pretty doable. If we make good sales, even better.

Osimhen? Yep. He's purchasable so far his salary demands isn't crazy. Which I hear is the problem purchasing him. Might be rumors tho, but who knows. Either way, Barca can actually afford him if we're offloading Lewandowski and his high salary.

Kilishihunter:
It doesn't mean you must pay it to sign the players, it will surely be negotiated. Even man city no go call 200m for haaland

Gucciboy:
Then negotiate and offer a player swap plus some cash simple.

jpmoriarti:
Gavi is 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊! He’s resumed group training today.

Honestly, I have almost forgotten about Gavi. Chai, out of sight, is out of mind.

Hopefully, he regains match fitness and is able to help the team as we enter the business end of the season.

Kilishihunter:
Chief Alvarez is good but doesn't fit our profile of striker (ball hugger, false/supporting 9. not superbly clinical) plus is not worth that amount

Gucciboy:
No striker is superly clinical because they must miss chances and you wouldn't like a ball hugger that will be selfish or delay a goal scoring opportunity.

So your excuses are not sufficient. You're simply broke simple and you wouldn't be saying this if it was yamal.

Kilishihunter:
Yup we are broke so thank you.
Shebi you guys have been heavily linked with him also. Let's see if your billionaire owners will be able to cough up the 200m tico wants.

Gucciboy:
We have enough strikers with some on loan sef ,How much is yamal?
