Lot of information. At least he confirmed the 155M per season amount for Nike deal. Plus getting licensing rights and management of the store (camp nou store I guess). That is actually pretty a good deal. Very good actually. But the things about Neymar case really worries me. I think we will pay lot of money in fines.

Barcelona's board hints at turning the club members into shareholders
The club looks for a controversial alternative that change the club's very essence
Barça's board will propose to turn Camp Nou season pass holders into stadium stockholders as soon as they buy their season tickets, as explained by Carles Tusquets, president of the blaugrana Finance Committee, interviewed at radio show "Què t'hi jugues" ("Wanna bet?") broadcasted by Cadena Ser. They argue it could help make the club more professional and keep it among the elite.
Up to now, holders pay their passes every season at prices ranging from €300 to €2000, depending on the zone of the stadium they choose. Proposal is to turn the purchasing club member into seat holder for a period lasting 15 or 20 years, by paying ten times their current price.
For the time being, this is nothing but a proposal that will be presented for all club members' consideration, and it has not yet been discussed at a board meeting.
Barça is one of just a few top sides in Europe that have not become a private corporation, and it is owned by its 150,000 club members, just as it has been since it was first established. Should the proposal be approved, it would be the first step to turn the club into a association focusing on profiting, thus wiping out its centenarian philosophy, as well as its very essence.

Bartomeu: "Will Douglas leave? It's very hard to leave Barça. Xavi used to tell me that you feel very good as a Barça player."
The feel good club.

Bartomeu: "It makes sense to pay a lot for a forward if he's young and has future at the club. A young player is easier to amortize."
Hopefully this means no more 29 years old medoicre players for 40M? I want to believe...

What I learned from today's press conference?
Not much.
Still no sign of progress on sponsorship deal or definite date (or year) on remodeling Camp Nou. And sure, we got more of "Neymar is a signing".
We are signing one center back (Umtiti) and it would appear the board does prefer younger signing (" re-sale value") up-front. I bet Lucho wants Gameiro though.

All about re-sale value.
I am glad we are signing only one CB. Another one (or two) would block out Tarin completely.

So saw some qoute from him saying we have 43M more to spend this season. 3M will be gone to Denis transfer. Rest will be used on a froward mostly. Also the rac1 rumor about using last year budget for Umtiti transfer is a just a backup option if they have find a good opportunity in the market.
