Lame comparison,they are selling club who sells their best players.we sell our dead weight.
And our academy has been good lately,it is the club not being able to use it has been crap. Bellerin,Icardi,Keita Balde,Sanabria,Thiago among others has been performing well outside the club.
Ok.
I am just sad when we can't get anything for some of our players, and yet, not long ago, we labelled them as the next big thing etc.
Adama 10M, and he'll never return.
Deulo, we will get some money for him.
Tello, we can't get almost anything.
Halilovic, the next Messi by some, gone for 5M, I am quite sure that's it from his Barca's career (unless he explodes there and we bring him back to resell him, but he would need to raise his worth to 15-20-25M, so that we would earn something after paying a buyback of 12,5M after a 2nd season. You know my opinion about Halil, so I don't think that we will earn new money for him, more or less).
Bartra, a future club's captain, 8M.
Sandro, free transfer.
Bojan, the next big thing. peanuts.
I know, we keep our Xavis and Iniestas who are worth 50-100M.
But prices of our 2nd tier players are quite disappointing, I think that a majority will agree on that.
And there isn't too much of a demand for our 2nd tier players (except cases like Pedro and Fab, but Pedro was a starter and Fab won Wcs and Euros).
So, even they aren't classic 2nd tier players from our team.
I never rated Bartra, but I hoped that we will get at least 15M for him one day.
We got 8.
Tello, I also hoped that we'll get some money. It seems that we will get 0m for him in the end and that he will leave for free one day.
I don't think that it is only a board's fault.
Imo, our Xavis/Iniestas/Busis are out of this world players.
But our 2nd tier products seem to be just meh. We overrate them a lot, but in majority of cases, they don't reach our expectations, plus other teams also aren't too interested in buying them.
