@barcastuff: Bartomeu (president): "We'll sign keeper and centre back this summer, the rest we'll see. Budget 60M, if needed we can spend 120M one year."

Atleast it looks like he'll have the funds to work his own magic on the squad.

This is very much the case. When looking at City, Real, Chelsea, PSG I see benches that are way beyond our level. Who are our subs? Sergi Roberto, Tello, Song, Pinto and one of Neymar, Pedro or Alexis. Only the latter are really good, the others are quite a bit below the level of what you would expect from a team like Barcelona.

Agree about our bench not being as strong as it should, but if 2 of Neymar, Pedro and Alexis are playing then either Xavi, Iniesta or Fabregas will also be on the subs so not quite as bad as you make out.

EDIT: In fact other than Bayern, I don't think other top teams have a much better bench that us?

Bartomeu, before thinking about how much we can spend, please plans to use your brain and make smart purchases ! we already have thrown away so much money in our transfer market in recent years…… :cry:

Good news. We should see what will Martino do next year.

OK. We have 60M to spend and with -12M for MAtS we would have a remaining of 48M which is efficient for a top class defender.

But the thing is I don't think he is that idiot to disclose the real amount of transfer budget...










I am sure he is that idiot.

Good news about the 60m, not such good news that they announced it and specifically mentioned it's for a GK & CB. :lol:

I guess there goes any hope of getting Benatia for a decent price! Have a feeling Roma will want 48m (after 12m for MAtS).

This summer will be the biggest change in a while, so I wouldn't mind us spending more than the budget and spending less in the next few years.

And the board seems to be high again. We need 2 keepers and 2 centre backs.

It doesn't bother me. Laporta would always announce at the end of the season assembly, want the club was looking for in transfer market, and how much the budget was for transfers.

In principle he should of course keep his trap shut about transfer activity in general, but I really don't think what he said was that terrible. I mean, come on, everyone and his dog knows that we're in the market for a keeper and at least one cb. Bartomeu reiterating that won't change a dime. And about the budget? A number as vague as the one he presented - from 60M to 120M, what top team out there wouldn't be able to spend money like that in the summer? It should hardly surprise anyone that we'll need to splash out anyhow, and the numbers he mentioned won't change that.

We'll face fierce competition for every target out there, and if anything, flexing our financial strenght, will show other potential suiters that we mean business.

But in all honestly, I really don't see that these comments will have any effect on our transfer activity come July what so ever.
