89 mil. to spend this summer..

Yes, Rosell is supposed to meet with Wenger and something definitive would come out of the meeting. Though we might have to wait till the World Cup final is over to know what really went on.

Yep!

 

[Paolo Maldini]

exactly.

uttery retarded.

but then there are SWATHES of england who are so bitter and resentful towards us because we play football the likes of which they'll never be able to. they constantly hold up arsenal as a paragon of magnificence and we destroyed them this year. and since that arsenal tie the bitterness towards us (which really kicked off after rome) is just out in full-force. and when we fell to "the premier league's josé mourinho" oh they were so happy.
anyway, being in debt, of which this new credit facility is part of, is part of running a big business I'm sad to say.

doesn't mean we should give up. the budget is for 50m every year, we sold players for monies, giving us 89m.

also, after watching busquets tonight... fuck mascherano. sign someone like annan (or maybe someone experienced would be better?) or something to be a talented backup. but we don't need to spend for mascherano. busquets is just killin' it.

we still need cesc, though. definitely.

I have certainly noticed these feelings from the English supporters and media. Not too long ago there were similar, but maybe not as bad, feelings towards Milan when we were beating their prize clubs Manchester and Liverpool.

Yes mate, it happens to any continental side that have the temerity to outgun the top EPL sides. Meta's post above bypassed me, only just seen it now and he sums it up perfectly

Brilliant article from Martin Samuel

Arrogant Barca teach us nothing
Barcelona are once again proving to be more than a club. Right now, for instance, they are more a giant financial black hole and in such trouble they need to sell players to ease what Sandro Rosell, the new president, called a short-term liquidity problem.
Translation: they're skint. No wonder Barcelona's directors are so opposed to the collective agreement Premier League clubs in England reach on broadcast rights. If Barcelona were required to share their individually negotiated bounty with the other clubs in La Liga they would have fallen into the sea long ago.

Targeted: Cesc Fabregas is wanted by the Barcelona president
Rosell was forced to make his announcement concerning the parlous state of the finances on radio, admitting that Dmytro Chygrynskiy had been sold back to Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine at a £10million loss just to ease the crisis. This from a club who have already cashed in on Yaya Toure to Manchester City for £24m (and doesn't that look another shrewd bit of business at Eastlands in the light of these revelations).
It would appear the previous administration overspent and now Rosell's administration is stuck with the bill. We know the feeling.
Things are so desperate that Rosell can barely afford the first-class fare to tap up Cesc Fabregas in the hope of forcing Arsenal to sell an unhappy player on the cheap.
'The Cesc situation is public knowledge so I'll try to talk to him when I go to South Africa,' said Rosell. 'Everyone knows he wants to come here and we want him back, but there are some things you cannot say until a deal is closed or you pay a premium. We will not pay £40m or £50m for Cesc.'
That should be no deal then. The arrogance of Barcelona is such, however, that, even without the money and a good £20m short of Arsenal's asking price, the president is still angling to open negotiations with a contracted player.
And this from a club whose much-vaunted morality is used to beat up our Premier League on an almost weekly basis? This is the business model to which we should aspire? These are the people who presume to lecture on ethics?
Welcome to the Potless Millionaires Club, Barcelona. Now shut up.

Barcelona = the new galacticos!!

Man, I hate galacticos, but it was entertaining to see Madrid not win during that era, haha.

I wasn't sure if that 89m included the purchase of Villa or not, interesting.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

No it doesn't. We have €50mil plus the money we got from the sales of the Ukrainian and Yaya, which brings us to the €89mil.

Martin Samuel, someday, somehow, someone might want to kill you. you never know mate.

Yet you cannot pay wages?

 

[Paolo Maldini]

I think that the wage budget is seperate from the transfer budget, Edward.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

That is the suggestion. Am i right in saying that the mediapro cashflow problem is related to the wages issue? Any way, the transfer budget is accounted for seperately.....i think.....im confused and my head hurts to be honest.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

That is a seperate issue. The money for transfers have already been put to one side. The only reason the wages have not been paid yet (if indeed that is true) is because of the Mediapro deal, which will get sorted in the next couple of weeks. Nothing of what Sandro is saying makes any sense at the moment.

Thanks for clearing that up mate, thought that was the case. Do you think Rosell is making an issue of this, maybe to point score with the previous regime and Laporta?

Mate: in terms of accounting, wage is a cost (of the finantial year) and budget of the fiscal transfer is treated as an asset. So, we talk about different things...
