Pique said that he felt Neymar will leave even before US Tour so they also knew but they are just stupid and incompetent. And even if they didn't Coutinho was a midfield solution so there is no excuse for waiting so long.
I could understand waiting so long for Dembele but there is no reason in doing that with Coutinho.
Even if they didn't know. Having backup/escape plans and being prepared to situational changes is part of the strategic duties of an executive board. This is Business Management 101.
Fuck those retards. Barça is a sinking ship right now because of them. Almost 10 years being run by clueless "businessmen" making mistake after mistake.
Arrrrrrrrghhhhh... disgusting. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.
