Barça's Transfers and Rumors

[xXKonan]

Newly promoted PL club get so much money they don't know what to do with it. Offer them Song, a guy who was a decent midfielder for Arsenal a few years ago and who's still only 28 for 5-10 millions and they'd be happy. But we just can't do it I guess.

I remember reading a rumor a year ago West Ham wanted to make song's deal permanent, apparently we wanted at least 8-15 million for Him but West ham wanted him on a free transfer.

Fuck that.

Him and the other guys never want to take a pay cut. Thats what it comes down to. Signing one of those guys would ruin their wage structure, making average Barca flops the best paid players in the squad.

Affelay and Shaqiry signed for Stoke, I think some other BPL teams will be delighted with Song.

Song like Jamdav said is pretty picky in regards to a certain location he would play in. (London).

West Ham doesn't want him anymore, Arsenal is out of the Question. Chelsea? Spurs? can't see either happening. Crystal Palace? can't see them paying the wages song wants.

Song wouldnt need to take a pay cut.

His wages were being paid by West Ham anyway and every club in the EPL could afford the money he is on at Barcelona.

The opposite of what you say is true. The vast majority of Barca players and even 'flops' could earn more money at other clubs.

Players take less money to play at Barca for most part.

That doesnt make sense. It should be EASY to shift these players if they are on low wages. We have been unable to get rid of so many players, hell even for free. Its loan, after loan, after loan, year after year. Until their contract is up and they are forced to accept lower pay.

There is more to it than that.

Any club could afford Songs wages in EPL. It is about whether they want him, think he is worth the wages on top of his fee and it is a club he wants to go to.

One minute you make out the market is booming and people need to understand how much money there is next you seem to make out clubs will struggle to pay Songs wages etc.

That doesnt make sense.

Nor would signing Song on his wages at Barca ruin any wage structures.

You talk about Song, this is far bigger than Song. Its been going on for many years with COUNTLESS players. They are definitely on high wages compared to their ability, thats why we have such terrible track record of shifting players.

What player at Barca has that loan, loan, loan then lower wages applied to?

What players?

Every club has an element of that.

Far more players on Barca on wages less than they could get elsewhere than ones making more than worth. Yet you just ignore that part.

 

[Jombi]

What player at Barca has that loan, loan, loan then lower wages applied to?

What? We've been loaning out countless players over the years trying to sell them with no takers. Most of our flops pretty much end up down that route. They're on far too high wages, and clubs dont want to break their structure for these players. And the players never want to take a pay cut. So we're stuck with them for years and years.

Looking for names of players that this has applies to where money lost on big wages as you said. If there are plenty it should be easy.

Every club has an element of this anyway and as I said you just ignore the wages the vast majority of Barca players have that they could get better elsewhere.

Well, it makes zero sense that we loan out all these players if they are on low wages. They are not horrible players, thats not why no club wants them, but they are overpaid players, thats the key.

I am saying vast majority of players at Barca on lower than they can get elsewhere... the good players and squad players Barca dont want to sell.

You make things up like Song taking a pay cut or breaking wage structures which is not the case and makes no sense when you argue about the booming market that no on understands the next minute.

Whatever you say, we struggle immensely to sell our flops because they are overpaid for their ability. Thats it. We will continue to loan out these players to reduce our wage burden in the absence of any takers, alternatively we will pay out their contract. They will not take a meaningful pay cut so we're stuck with them. Its completely rational and easy to understand if you want to understand.
