Yes, we bought Neymar last year. But RM bought Bale, Illaramendi, and Isco.

We bought Suarez, Rakitic, MATS, and Bravo this year. But we've also sold Sanchez and Cesc, and we've let go of heavy earners in Valdes, Puyol, and, perhaps, Xavi.

Not saying that we are ahead of RM or that Rm is not money oriented but we are becoming like them.No doubt about that.

Neymar and Bale signings are compared by every fan out there, another proof they're of the same caliber, age, money, flashy-ness. Illaramendi and Isco didn't cost a fortune.

We payed 36m. or so for Alves in 2008, a huge sum for a RB at the time. We wanted to bring Beckham in 2004 -- he ended up in Madrid. Another sign we look for stardom also. There are many examples, in recent history, that show our status has changed. Now we are an economical giant, and a team that hunts stars.

This.We can no longer say that RM is just a money oriented club and we have principles and all now.We are on almost the same level in terms of spending money and wages and kroos could have easily been afforded had our board really wanted him.

Agreed. Rosell always wanted a corporate Barca. We are there.

¡Gr?*cies Xavi!
2 more years guys. Change will happen.

EDIT: After reading the Bartomeu thread, it can be a lot sooner. Good.

No club is self sufficient.We can't have all players from la masia and not a single big signing from outside to maintain the success.We have been buying players for a lot of money and except this year,we have been successful unlike RM who can't win trophies regularly even after spending more than us.But buying a player who is biter,cheater and racist for 80 m is pathetic.

Everyone spends money. AFAIK we spend the least of top 5 teams (Real, Chelsea, Bayern and City), but you have to buy in order to win. Golden generation happens rarely even in most talent packed club as Barca.

We spend money on genius like Suarez and next best player in Neymar, and we know we are going to get our money back as well as increase aura of our club while club like Man Utd will spend that kind of money on likes of Fellaini and Shaw.

Of course Rio wouldn't be a starter, he'd just sit on the bench and he will not cost us 20M for god's sake ...

When he couldn't even perform for Man Utd last season, how would you expect him to perform at Barca? Besides, he's over the hill.
