Joan Laporta

[RedxMAK]

Based on your logic you probably should say Lalolta.

What are you on about

 

[RedxMAK]

Yk in 20 years time, we will look at Laporta the same way we look at Nuñez. Both of them extremely controversial and infamous in the history of this institution and opposite in the spectrum of ideology of managing it.

It's the circumstances right????

So it's the circumstances that made him pay lots of money for some mediocre players.

Officially 1:1 compliant. First time since 2019/20. We can finally move on from the Barto disaster and stop being at the mercy of LFP every 6 months.

The club is taking Olmo & Pau case to the higher sports court on Monday. The club is in favorable position for the first time in this given the circumstances since last night. But I'm skeptical, technically Barca were late whether it was Laporta taking a dump of 28m on Friday morning or some Real Madrid clerk at LFP offices slept on filed documents on New Year's Eve, or the banks didn't proceed the transaction on time.

They are gonna make new calculations before the summer and we won't be in 1:1 anymore except if we sell new levers.

Laporta statement.

" Everyone says I lied to Olmo, but it is not true at all. I promised, when he signed, that I would make him the most famous player in the world, and I managed to do it in less than 6 months."

Let's get it trending #MiPresiDon'tLie.

It's gonna be fine.

As for the talk that Kunde, Rapinha have above market wages - it's absolute nonsense.

I don't understand why Birdy keeps referring to Liverpool. Yeah, it would be cool if Barcelona's wage structure was the same, but Liverpool's wage bill is some damn anomaly.

I don't understand how they manage to keep a notional Luis Diaz on a wage of around 3 million euros in their shitty city. I don't get it.

Martinez, Christensen and other free agents are generally paid higher salaries for their choice to move to team X. I don't like that practice, but that's the market. I hope we abandon this practice.

The main thing now is to pay off the debts to the amigos, extend the contracts of Pedri, Gavi and Yamal on the MAXIMALLY ADEQUATE terms. And get rid of overpaid and underperforming players.

When we pay off amigos debts and get rid of Lewandowski, De Jong, Fati, Garcia, Langle, Christensen - our wage bill will be around 120 million euros.

I get it in a way. They got him from Porto with not many offers for him no? They usually sign players that are under the radar and do very well in this area. It's not exactly as if they competed with PSG, or City, or Chelsea, or Madrid for Luis Diaz.

The way to also get in on these deals is to do better scouting, and get to these players before they get linked to very big and rich clubs. With Kounde, it was a competition with Chelsea, which are loaded.

 

[DonAK]

Wouldn't be surprised if some of the players are paid off the books through FSG arranging "sponsorships" for them? I mean who really knows these days.

 

[serghei]

That could be, but for me the biggest factor is that they don't sign players that have cachet so to speak. They make moves on players early, before they get hyped, to the credit of their scouting department.

 

[DonAK]

I don't know if we're ass at negotiating or just corrupt considering how much we end up paying such players and their agents.

I mean we paid Darren Dein a 50m euro commission to help us negotiate the Nike deal FFS. As if Barca doesn't have a long, historical relationship with Nike that we need a third party to help us out and pay a fat commission.

 

[Birdy]

Good evening to all the brainwashed sheep in here.
Special mentions to @Jaguar @FCBarca @Don Juan Laporta Estruch (Messigician is just trolling)

They have already started their new chant 'Laporta got us back to 1:1', while they don't even know what 1:1 means

At the same time, they have already swallowed one of the biggest embarrassments in the history of the club by the hand of Don Juan

Keep grazing...

I'm not sure there wasn't demand for Diaz. Although obviously Raphinha, who had done well in the Premier League, was a more status player and there was more demand for him. But still - I don't understand how they managed to get Diaz on a 5 year deal with a €2.8m salary to their shitty city.

 

[M3ls]

It's not about their scouting service. Diaz was one of Porto's best players.

Dude you don't know finances that's why you don't see it.
The benchmark are not clubs like PSG City and UTD that overpay (even though City overpays only for selected few, not all)

No one would pay at the time 13.5 m Gross for Raphina that we gave him. I am sure Chelsea's offer was like 7-8m gross or so.

Same for Kounde, who was getting 1 or 2m gross at Sevilla and jumped to 13m because Don Clown Fatporta was giving away money. Kounde AT BEST could get a 6m gross at another top club
