Barcelona is a rich club. We dont need to sell to buy. This is the case for most top top teams. Like Real , ( they sold Ozil and Higuan for massive money because of Bale) Bayern.
The reason is that top sides dont sell thier best players , but thier most unwanted players. And no one is spending big for a player that the team doesnt need. In the end they sell for peanuts because they have to. Example was Kaka for Madrid. He was earning too much and they HAD to get rid of him. Milan came in and swooped him for free.
S*it, another perfect deal! Buy for 20M, loan until contract runs out to get 0 moneyz, than repeat with another player. We must be the laughing stock when it comes to transfers the latest 6 seasons or so. Plz correct me if I'm wrong, but we won't get any money for Valdez right?
It will a deal with add on so if he stays at the end of the season we get around 10mil for him which isnt bad. The club seems to really not want him.
Valdes is in his last year. He annouced he was going to leave last summer. We didnt have time to find him a suitable replacement. We either quick sold him for around 5mill ( 31 yo and in last year , no one's paying more ) or keep him and find a suitable replacement and lose about 5mill. I think it was a great call , supported by his recent form.
We're not a laughing stock. We sell players we dont want , so its obvious we are going to get low money for them.
My only worry is that we wont be able to find a quality CB in the transfer window. Even Luiz , has been terrible this season. Messi has made for tackles than his this season. That's ridiculous. We wont find a CB good enough to fulfill our needs ( which is to overthrown Pique ).
