We let them sign Bartra for peanuts. Now they are holier than thou as if they never bullied small clubs for all those youngsters they snatched from them.

Watzke just said on German that the probability of a transfer of dembele is under 50%
Not the same thing though. Of course they wanted players from smaller clubs, but when did they ever bully them? I can't recall any incident about them encouraging players to strike and go AWOL to force the other club into a situation where there's no choice but to sell now.
Barca encouraging him to strike is an assumption, not a fact,don't present it as such.
There also wouldn't be much media coverage if Dortmund "bullied" a smaller club for a certain player, so you not remembering any incidents doesn't mean they never have.
Everything Barca does or doesn't do right now is put under a microscope due to those cursed 222m we have on our hands, and everyone seems to be holding their breath on what we'll do with it.

Not the first time it happens with Dembele either... and Barça weren't involved back then. BVB don't seem to mind when their targets have a history of pulling stuff like that off (Dembele, Tuchel), and get offended if they reoffend? Weren't you telling thr story of your gf with a wandering eye?Yes you're right it's not proven, but does it not seem pretty likely? Because this isn't the first time this happens at Barca

Also not the first time BVB have problems with one of their own. After the Tuchel story I don't care much for Watzke's words.
I do think it's a shame how Barto & Co ruin the reputation and the relationship of Barça with other clubs though, kinda hurts to see, especially with Dortmund. Hoeneß words I can stomach, Been with him aren't exactly a noble example to be admired.
Yes you're right it's not proven, but does it not seem pretty likely? Because this isn't the first time this happens at Barca, same thing seemed to happen with Verratti after an onimous "meeting" in Ibiza, or when Barca "sent a delegation to Dortmund and Liverpool", and all these players suddenly revolted against their employers. I also remember how Yuste claimed he was "in contact" with Fabregas (even though Arsenal didn't give their premission to the contact yet) from whom he claimed that he wants to move to Barca, and again 2 days later he publicly stated that he wants to leave.
There's very shady stuff going on, I don't think anyone really rules out that the way Barca (amongst other big clubs) are pulling off their deals in bullying and borderline legal fashion.
