Hopefully now people shut up talking all that dumb shit about the new board this stuff is absolutely a joke, we are pretty much bankrupt in every since, just hanging on by a sting.

Which is why I can't respect anyone on here who ever said a good word about bartomeu, because all this stuff was so obvious years ago for anyone who had eyes.

Thank bartomeu.

It will be a long road to redemption but laporta can do it.

Laporta hasn't done anything lmfao

So much for Koeman being this promoter of youngsters and everyone praising him for it. The board made him do it.

Pretty much.

Pretty sure koeman would play Roberto And pals until the end of time over nico gonzales if he could

That dude hasn't scored a single goal ever lmfao and he's in the first team

From where will they get 12 La Masia players to play in the first team I don't know.

1-Gerard Pique
2-Sergio Busquets
3-Riqui Puig
4-Ansu Fati
5-Eric Garcia
6-Oscar Mingueza
7-Sergi Roberto
8-Jordi Alba
9-Inaki Pena (registered with Barca B, but almost exclusively with first team)
10-Nico Gonzalez
11-Gavi
12-Alejandro Balde
In addition to former B team player Ronald Araujo

So 12 is actually accurate number, you can probably argue about who signed back (Eric for example), who has been here forever (the captains) & who really plays (Inaki) but this is actually almost how every board counted the number of La Masia players.

oh, you might be right. i was under the impression they had a plan to introduce some new players from la masia.

then they've already solved everything. :lol:

I think they want to keep that as a target going forward which will require us integrating a few new players, I like that approach, fill in our home grown players with the right signings & we could compete without having this ridiculous wage bill.

Bartomeu ran a ponzi scheme on the club.
Im sure he came out richer then when he started.
How he can run free on the streets is beyond me, one of the worst economic crimes in the last 100 years.

What was he to do?

In Messi's interview he demanded players to achieve success.

Barto did everything he could with Coutinho, Dembele, and Griezmann.

Even now what are the options to rejuvenate the squad?

There's Mbappe and Haaland as the only true world class options at least Dembele is two footed fast pacy winger, Coutinho looked an incredible player under Klopp and surely could have taken up Iniesta's mantle, and Griezmann finished 3rd in the ballon dor and surely could have taken the next step up.

It isn't in Barto all 3 were a catastrophe

Perhaps maybe instead of spending 400m on 3 players he could've instead you know...built a proper squad like every other top club in Europe. Bayern certainly -didn't need 400m to build its squad.

It's easier to believe that Barto and his goons were trying to destroy the club rather than to build their own legacy by creating a successful Barca.
