9 - Robert Lewandowski

[JerseyAddict]

We can pay for that, that's not a issue, biggiest issue will be registration, it's gonna get complicated even with the 2nd half of the TV deal.

But that will get done as well, selling de jong will help us to register at least 2 players.

Selling FDJ is still a "rabbit in the forrest"... And not Nothingham Forrest

There are different news on that. The 2nd lever might be enough. We will see.

About the 1.3BE in debt: we should reduce that significantly with our financial operations, no? Apart from that 200m yearly cost for Griezmann and Messi gone is still absolutely massive. It's a shit ton of money.

Hope they are better than Barto's

Well, debt is probably going to get smaller and smaller as the wage expenses subside. I think all of our deals are well proportioned in the wages area.

Plus, 40, 50, and even 60+ m signings are well the norm for all big clubs now. So are the wages we propose to these signings. This is not some Barto-shit with 40m wages and 150m fees.

Now we're running our shop closer to Madrid, Liverpool, Bayern, etc. But the Barotmeu legacy will hang over our heads for a good while. Hopefully, we can carry it and maintain our fan-owned model.

Our whole rebuild this window will cost as much as a single Barto transfer

 

[Luftstalag14]

Will miss this Tiktok Cringelord. Hope he's happy at Barca but hoping he flops whenever he faces us - of course.

Barca objectively having a stellar transfer window. Not a guaranteed success but very much one of the more interesting sides to follow into the new season. Xavi is gonna have a lot of eyes on him.

I think your window is better than ours already, even without De Ligt.

Mazraoui I am not too much of a fan of but I think Mane and Gravenberch are great signings for you, to my chagrin.

 

[Luftstalag14]

So 4-year contract confirmed? Or 3+1?

I read 3+ optional 1. Pretty good if that's the case. He'll be younger than Modric now by the time he ends it.

 

[Devils]

You fools talking like he's going to be starting for Barca at 38 years old.

He'll be a starter for Barca for 2 years and then will likely take on a sub role.

This guy is the best goal scorer on the planet and has minimal injury record. It's not unrealistic to believe that he will score 30+ for the next 3-4 years. In fact it's more realistic to believe that than not lol!

Sure, but if the guy scores 25 league goals at 36 like he very well might, then he'll probably still start. Nobody benches players because of age alone. Modric is the best example. Still good enough even if obviously declined to start most games.

The best, most professional players age differently than the ones who don't give a fuck about fitness anymore and start partying at 33.

The debts won't go down significantly since we will go into new ones for the stadium, but with all these "levels" the debts will becomes more manageable over the short to medium term.


500m+ we are about to get with all these levels isn't all going to players, net spend wise, we only gonna spend maybe a little over 100m all in, that's ridiculously good when you take a second to think about it, shows what competent people can do compared to what came before.

These levers will help to us becoming significantly more solvent over the short term & give us some breathing room.

If Barca goes back to being top, then we can also go back to very high 800m+ constant revenue. This with a much reduce salary expenditure, the club could consistently make a good profit in the next years.

Let's hope they don't lose their shit when covid positives will inevitable start to pop up in mid to late autumn again.

 

[jamrock]

4 years is what was expected it helps to split the cost up over a longer period, not surprised.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Our debt will double. We haven’t borrowed the bulk of the 1.5 billion needed for Espai Barca yet, ladies and gentlemen. We will have around 3 billion of debt soon.

 

[mc_lovin]

News is his salary will drop considerably after his 2nd year and we have the option to terminate (for a financial compensation).

That's probably seen differently though. It's a major club asset that will bring more money long term by a lot.
