Insane what he & his team is doing with no money, imagine what will happen when we have some financial flexibility
Fati,Aubameyang,depay,Torres, that's 4 damn good prayers to start building our front 6 around, add 2 WC players to that or even 1 and someone like Adama and I don't care if real signs mbappe we will compete upfront.
A solid defender & RB for depth and we are looking ready to push for everything again, thanks to this man.
One thing history has thought is in our competition against real Madrid is that the team that spends the most on big money signings tends to be the team that loses.
Bartomeu tried the Galatico policies & it fail us like it failed Perez.
A few brilliant signings away for kicking ass again

Xavi wanted him and he got him.
He has also shown enough to ask for whoever he wants in summer

We would be completely fucked had laporta lost the election

Would we? Font would have brought Xavi since day 1 and not fucked around with Koeman.

No we wouldn't. People forget that we got a loan of 500M from Goldman Sachs and now act as if Laporta performed some miracles.
We could also have got the CVC deal if it came to that.
Laporta did well to steady the ship, but I don't see it as a miracle or something another guy couldn't have done.
It will probably will work out better that we stuck with Koeman and allowed him to take the fall before bringing him in without expectations. In the summer we didn't have capacity in the market to bring what came in December.
Talking of Font, his whole Xavi, Xavi, Xavi talks are looking good right now.

Laporta fired the director of the technology area, Juan Manuel Tabero, and the compliance officer, Xavier Mas. Both men came with Ferran Reveter.
A family and friends club by the day.

Gavi is a kid who just had his first games with the senior team. He has time to earn the big bucks. If he loses his head and wants to earn big millions at 18, while not proving much and betraying the club that formed him, he is free to go as well as the others.
Same goes for Araujo. They need improved contracts, but let's not get carried away here. They are not top-class players and the club is working hard to develop them into the finished product. It's about time we stop paying top money for potential.
Laporta is a top president. He knows what the club needs. I'd go with him. Make it clear to these kids that the big money will come when we make CL semis and win league titles again. Not before.
The objectives of this club are NOT Europa League and top 4 finish. Let's make that clear. Neither youngster achieved anything to deserve a top salary, in the grand scheme of things.
We should not confuse the current improvement of the team with what the end goal is. The players have a lot of work to do, even players like Pedri are mixing up good plays with terrible bad ones. The salaries should reflect our current position, that of not a top 5 team.
Let's see them win Europa League first, which they should do looking at the teams left in the competition.

We all get excited because it appears we found a "keeper" manager. Someone with modern tactics, ambition and the tenacity to join the greats of the game. And now we have a competent president instead of a clown backing him up. And we seem to make much better transfers, with much less money.
But let's not get carried away. We haven't done shit so far except redress a disaster season a bit. And it gets tougher as you try to match up to the best teams. Bayern smashed us in 2nd gear and we didn't have a single chance not long ago. The road is long, and now it's not the time to go crazy with salaries for players just making their first steps in top football.
