Barca Transfers and Rumors

[jamrock]

We've been getting a decent amount of money selling B team players and from clauses.

Hopefully that continues in the summer and we sell de jong, Torre and maybe a defender.

Extra hate for FDJ since came in and got more minutes than likes of Casado and helped steady ship in CL and League.

Those folk who were revelling in telling us how much better Xavi was really doubling down on it now.

Sensational.

If they can get a deal that both are happy with FDJ should stay and that is midfield set for 5 years. If not he can leave and will get a good move.

Players who are not good enough can then be sold in future.

1:1 rule is still free up 1€ to invest 1€. It's miles better than to free 3/4€ to invest 1€ like in the past, but it still limits our transfers. I assume we'll lose the restrictions completely only when the Nou Camp Nou starts to generate money in full capacity, somewhere around end of 2026.

The reports are that club dont think they will be 1:1 in summer hence why trying to get a lot of these renewals through asap.

For renewals like Raphinha and Kounde wouldnt need to be as them renewing doesnt need increased FFP. Not 100% clear on rules but it would be bizarre if FFP stopped Barca renewing Kounde/Raph and easing for example 10m of FFP costs and not allowing it for some reason.

Board not really hiding anything.

We only just entered 1:1 so any signings would require equal income.

Might be another quiet summer without a big exit.

Madrid had a couple of summers with zero spending too to regulate their expenditure too.

More of a LaLiga issue than anything.

1:1 is a term that doesn't reflect financial situation, rather than compliance to the rules.

I am more interested in La Liga released salary cap, the biannual reports.

Last published one was in September, had us around 426M which is 2nd in La Liga but far behind Real Madrid with over 300M.

We will always be around the edges of 1:1 because Laporta will always pushes the limit of salary cap to compete with Real Madrid.

Yea that's one of the reasons they are pushing so hard to get back into the partially finish camp nou so quickly.

It will have a significant impact on our finances.

We will no longer be paying whatever we are paying to rent the Olympic stadium, I've heard 20m+.

While also getting increased revenues from 60k capacity stadium.

Really if we stayed in the camp now a lot of these things could have been avoided, but obviously is was the right thing to do long term.

 

[JamDav1982]

There is a lot of scope for Barca to sell fringe players and renewals to free up FFP for this summer.

Will be fustrating if that has to be done just to maintain the current squad but if thats the case. Bed down and go largely with same squad and see what room have to add depth at full backs and an attacking player with more pace and ability 1v1.

Rashford maybe auditioning for that LW/Pacey/CF option slot at Villa.

Likes if Leao, Diaz, and Nico are good players but cant see club spending big on them with Raphinhe there and them being back ups primarily, But never know.

For selling/loaning younger players FC Como could be a blessing in disguise.

Yes, according to the club we lost more than €100m going to the Montjuic. But because Barto was an incompetent fool, who didn't start the project during covid times like Madrid did, we have to do it now.

It was too late by time covid came but Barca left that stadium 20 years past needing updated and Barto like with the contracts thought short terms and not much past his own term.

Laporta himself also should have been looking at updating stadium last time round. It was massively dated by then but at same time is it time to do it when have the best ever generation of players? Probably a major factor in why it took so long.

The amount of money they would lose on not being able to have Camp Nou when have Messi on pitch probably kept them pushing it and pushing it for too long.

You think the fans and Messi going to be happy to head up to the hills and play while club saying have to tighten belts to pay for it in his last few years?

Was never happening really.

Really Barca and Espanyol should have swalloed their pride and got deal that suits both to play there but they are more interested in being 'staunch' than that.

Yea so many retarded things was down by barto is baffles the brain how one person could be that Incompetent.

I give him a bit of credit for choosing this design though, will legit be the best looking stadium in Europe once completed.

The changes made under laporta gave it that final touch of class.

But really like I've said before even if they went with the foster design after laporta left the club would have been way better off today.

Coat to build would have been significantly lower and we could always do the Barca space around it, like atleti is doing now with their stadium.

Multiple opportunities they had to do something useful, Instead they fucked the club over.

 

[JamDav1982]

Not sure when any President could really have rebuilt the stadium even though def needing done both in Laports last term and all through Bartos.

To pay for that when have Messi and move him and the team up to hills while tightening belts to do so was never happening in reality.

Been needing done in both Laporta/Barto terms but can see why never happened sadly.

Could say Messi would make it easier to fill the Olympic stadium but you think he wants that and think Barca could even still afford to pay him if playing there?

Wasnt happening.

Real was not the overhaul needed either. Barcas is more or less a new stadium.

 

[jamrock]

Let's not get in the old cycle of blaming the "amigos" for barto's Incompetence and severe lack of leadership skills.

It should have been done a long time ago and could have been done a long time ago.

If laporta had another term, we would be playing in the foster design today, Messi or no Messi.

Leadership skills.

Yes and Laporta and Barto both could have done it.. neither did and you are lving in fantasy land if think Barca with Messi in team are heading to Olympic stadium.

If Laporta had another term he would have done nothing for new stadium as he didnt in first as long as likes of Messi there and money made off him in Camp Nou.

They would not have weakened the team around Messi at that time for a new stadium and weakened team with no real home games.

Barca were not moving from Camp Nou and giving up 100s of millions to play in smaller stadium with Messi in a weaker team.

Usual 0% understanding.

No one is 'blaming amigos' it is about what club will have done when have them and both Laporta/Barto acted it out in terms of the stadium

It’s not what a lot of people want, but the easiest way to generate money to sign a forward or depth at RB/LB is by selling Araujo and sign Tah as his replacement on free transfer.
