Liverpool fans on twitter seem to think barca are a skint club, where did they get that from?

Two reasons basically:

a) Lots of people overstate Spain's economic woes.

b) There's a persistent belief (wishful thinking imo) among fans of non-Spanish teams, that both Barca & Real are drowning in debt.

Balague tweeted that we need to sell 8 players in order to buy both Coutinho and Griezmann. I think that's the origin of this belief.

Balague has taken Barcelona's budgeted financial statements at face value and he is not the only one. The 84% of revenue that gets bandied about is merely inclusive of renewal bonuses and new player wages. Should be remembered that Suarez (probably falls in prior year), Messi and Neymar were renewed. The latter's disputed bonus is in all likelihood included as a contigency as well. It's these renewal bonuses and an increase in player amortisations that have skewed things a bit. Cash flow would have taken a hit but in subsequent years things are bound to settle with or without outgoing players.

Barça-Liverpool agreement for Coutinho is practically closed. The price will be €120M fixed and with variables it will exceed 150. He will sign for 5 and a half seasons. The English team awaits the arrival of Keita Baldé. Barça hopes to be able to announce it next week.

if we are paying what liverpool demands then why not in summer ? we just wasted a shot at the champions league for nothing. 150 was enough for a summer move
