Doesn't really matter whether most predictions are wrong or right anyway, the important thing is some are obviously better at it than others, of course its not pointless.

The best transfer market clubs will be better at that than others clearly such as Brighton.

They are. It's why more top money signings fail than turn out great.

Soon after...

When you take on a player like Dani Alves, or David Villa, that's already a top class player or very close to that level.

Aye totally consistent stuf there min.

Getting Inigo, Gundo, Oriol for 3.4m , securing low cost loans for Cancelo and Felix and signing Mikky Faye for 5m ( who will almost certainly go on to be worth much more ) has to rank as one of the best transfer window in recent history.

Where is the love for Don Laporta? You give him something to work with ( 2009 ) and he will give you the greatest team of all time.

You give him nothing to work with ( 2022) and he will give you back a team that can compete with anyone.
He can do it with money and without. You give him lemons he will make lemonade. The greatest club president of all time.

A couple people on here have their little Laporta agenda's so they can't give him any appraise.

So instead they just keep taking L for years upon years and try to spin their way out of it.

I've been telling them for years, the single most important thing for the success of any organization is leadership, the man has that in abundance.

Depends if count Roque or not but the squad is very good and up there with the best.

Cant claim that or made out to be a 'Xavi hater' though.. real fans gush over Real and how good they are apparently.

Praise Barca getting better of Real and end up with folk arguing about how good Real were 5 years ago.

Big win against Betis and Xavi is a hero again. Sorry, can't buy it.

Level of football will need to improve a lot this season.

If barto was still here he'd still be trying to spend billions.

Thank goodness he decided to keep out best players and build a competitive team, only way out of the situation we are in is to grow.

Thank goodness they did not decide to sign the long term levers deal some wanted that was so bad selling players would have been better alternative.

Haha 'only way out is to grow'... yes hence why signing awful deals that threaten future would have been worst case scenario.

Built a very good squad on back bone of a group of very good young players in team and coming through.

Some believed that and have been saying squad is better than many others think.. while others gush for Real and say expect too much.

Jamdav is the type of dude, where if he's in a financial crisis and he suggested selling his house,but his wife said no let's sell the car instead, we need our home.

Wife thought she could sell the car for $5, then goes out and gets $10, he'll look at her dead in the eyes and say

"see I was right about selling the house, because you got a better deal than you said initially 🤣🤣".

Who the hell was going to take 50 year deal over the 25 years if they knew it was available, such a stupid point to argue.

What was never ever an option
What was never at any point entertained, was selling our best players, thank goodness for that, it was always a nonsense idea, like I said and maybe a few others.
