• La Liga starts in 19 days
• Rejected by Nico
• Still no DM
• Still no LW
• Chasing Catalan not needed players (Olmo)
• Joao Felix “will feel like a new signing”
• Still no Nike/Libero deal
• 36 y/o Lewandowski focal point in attack

All this while Madrid signed Mbappé.
 
This club is broke idk what you all expect there is no money. You all should be asking for sales instead of all these purchases.

How this club isn't selling the likes of de Jong araujo and probably pedri as well actually tells you about the club. All these players are so easily replaced. For araujo you can get any ligue 1 big black defender for 20-25 mil and you will get the same performance. Merino for de Jong and you will have a lot of net positive cash to spend on nico.

And if they were smart they would sell Pedri as well who doesn't even need replacing. Gundo merino Gavi Fermin Christensen and one or two youngsters is already better than what there is right now

He continues to make false promises because he is negotiating with multi billion dollar corporations for multi million deals regarding sponsorship and selling parts of Barca.

Telling the world you are desperate for money, significantly reduces your negotiating power. We already did that, and every man and his dog sent low ball offers our way ( Depay 3m, Christensen 30m etc). It would be ten times worse with ruthless multi national corporations.

Good post. Everybody knows we are broke, but Laporta has to uphold the strength of the brand.

Hugging Messi shirt though, no excuses for that shit.

Multinational corporations are not dumb. They are perfectly aware of our finances and lying makes things even worse.

That's not how it works at all. Look at any case of a huge company going bust ( WeWork, MoviePass ) and you will see that multinational corporations invested multi millions along the way, when those companies were already practically bust behind the scenes.

If knowing the truth of a company's financial state was that easy, shock earnings announcements wouldn't occur. On Thursday, Intel announced shockingly bad earnings results and fell 20 percent. Did any multi nationals know in advance and make big money off that 20 percent fall? No.

The truth is that there are probably 3 or 4 people at a big company that know the true state of its finances. Infact, due to how these institutions are set up where the different departments do not collaborate, you could argue that nobody really knows.

More often than not it takes one employee, who needs to be fairly high up, who isn't willing to turn a blind eye to things and willing to put in out of hours work , and put his own position at risk within the organisation.

If anyone knows the TRUE finances of Barca, it's Laporta, but even he may not know everything, and there still might be a skeleton in the cupboard that is being covered up that could set us closer to bankruptcy again. Who knows? Multi nationals certainly don't, though, like all us, it's pretty obvious you can see Barca have been in better shape financially.

The state of the Barca finances are much more public than that though.

All Laporta can lie about really is potential deals but quickly gets exposed if not true.

:)) He continues to make false promises because our 96% of the fans are gold diggers, imature children, Messi fanboys or absolute mentally challenged Tiki-takers like Xavi .
That tels you succes makes a club big, and hype is very important when you lack success. I mean the club needs to atract new kids everyday. For now we are a reels club.
We win there, our scandals and transfers dominate there.
We are still in top 5 earners due to that.
And look at you, you drooled over Nico, a PR stunt that was endangering our finances with big money spent on hopes with little substance.
Anyway, he is successful in making you believe we are still huge while our biggest star is some average winger.

You even crusade for another average winger for us to get successful, then of course we will blame Flick after reality will kick in and maybe in 7 years we will have the money to buy a real star for a new age of club dominance.

Then other fuckers will fill this forum with theories about how genius is to pay millions on good enough players that will develop in something big, because of the times, how tactics make players superstars and another bunch of La Masia amigos probably Gavi or Fermin will crush us again into humiliations and poverty.
Saw that 2 times in my lifetime, our idiotic fanbase learned ZERO.

So for now just calm the fuck down, we lost hundreds of millions after Messi, with the stadium, no sane club will just use the Nike deal on Nico while we are unsure what we will earn from the stadium.
We need to sell, our only valuable players beside Yamal are injured.
If you want big transfers, sell Yamal and get the runner to play UEL again.
Stop making Laporta do stupid things that can bankrupt us, you idiots. Real made no transfers due to their stadium and they were not in our state.
