4 - Ronald Araújo

Whatever it takes to get that FFP sorted for Olmo. Innit.

But why would you sell Araujo for 5m loan + purchase offer in summer when you can sell Eric for 10m now? Both on same wages.

It's not like Araujo with 12m left would drop below 20m.

Plus with half a season more you got the chance for Araujo to renew and get a starting spot if/when Inigo finally crocks.
Man at this point fuck Olmo, the whole saga gives my a migraine - it's starting to piss me off and his haircut ain't fucking helping his case. I'd ship Olmo over Araujo every day of the week, I was never that into getting him even if he had some amazing games before his injury - now he's just meh again.
Anyway, so we ship Araujo - and get whom exactly? The fuck is this shit?!

But really, if remotely true - what the fuck is up with Araujo trying to leave Barca? He makes around 7M, new contract will out him above 10M for sure. He is a starter, he's mostly liked by the fans. He'll fit right in into Flicks style/tactics - we couldn't have asked for a better CB for Flick. Etc etc etc. The fuck is his problem (if true...)?

Something happened after the PSG game. Now don't take this is fact but what more than likely happened is that after we beat PSG away, Laporta went on a bender and maxed all his cards.

Michelin star restaurants in Paris were billing Laporta in the hundreds of thousands and he told them he will pay them once the club gets the Champions League semi final money.

Lamine scores and he calls them up "hey guys, games going good, will wire you the payments later tonight.".

15 minutes later Araujo gets himself sent off...

The rest is history. Ever since then there has been a stain on their relationship. And we all know the thing that Laporta hates the most in life is a stain- coz that's wasted food.

You don't understand anything about Flick's system if you think he needs a center back who is absolute shit on the ball.

If Juve gets Araujo for 25m... just play him the rest of the season and if he does well he will generate 80m in the summer with those desperate as hell EPL teams flush with cash

Alright, maybe he isn't great on the ball - maybe it wouldn't be that bad to sell if we get good money. But we would of course need a new CB, whom could that be - are we eying anybody?

The fact that a loan and 20m fee is actually not immediately seen as some sort of troll post, tells you everything you need to know about our Special Olympics Sporting Department.

It has indeed been a blessing in disguise we have had no money to spend and will continue to be so, until big changes are made in our scouting. It seems we do not have one scout who doesn't see the sheer idiocy of this.
