if PSG get a really hard group at CL, they will play hard ball. Or at least look for a replacement first. Because they can easily get kicked out of a group with napoli, tottenham and krasnodar or something like that as their team stands minus neymar

I am not following every single detail of our transfers.
The point is that we:
1. had huge debts before Barto
2. we turned into a club with the highest wages in the world, almost unsustainable wages
3. we didn't have money for new transfers so we already needed to make a loan to sign Griezz, even if only 35M. It means that we don't have money no matter how you twist it
4. and now, icing on a cake, Neymar.

Anyway, even if my numbers are wrong, what is your take on Barto and Neymar's transfer?
1. are you for Neymar's return?
2. what do you think about wage bill and debts?
3. what are your plans if a pessimistic scenario happens:
1) Neymar gets injured
2) or doesn't improve our team at all, in spite of 600M invested

Do you think that a new board will be able to cover these debts, create healthy finances and buy lost of new players in upcoming years (when we will need a new No9, a new Messi etc. Unless if you think that Neymar will be the new Messi, ouch?)

1. I'm for it because Dembele is looking like a skinny Emile Heskey out there (although he had over 100 PL goals so maybe that's harsh on Heskey), Coutinho was a big flop here had no impact at LW at all and Suarez is on his last legs. Could argue we added Griezmann to our attack but that's still only 2 players in Messi and Griezmann who we can count on and there's questions over where Griezmann will play, he's definitely not a true winger or number 9. With the prices of players nowadays you'd be looking at around 100m+ for any semi-proven talent, we already tried that approach with Dembele and look how it turned out.

2. The wage bill is huge, but if we are in profit it doesn't concern me half as much as it does with some fans. Same with debts, it doesn't bother me that much, the club won't go bankrupt and I still get to watch Barca week in week out.

3. His injury history has been the biggest issue of mine all through this saga, of course it's a concern. But we don't seem to get many long term injuries at Barca, this part is me just hoping he doesn't get injured. In terms of improving the team you even said you'd prefer Neymar over Dembele (If not who would you like on the wing?) I just think that with the fresh midfield and the addition of Griezmann and Neymar we would surely improve. That's not saying we definitely win the CL, it just improves out chances.

I'm not sure about what happens past Messi leaving, we obviously can't replace him, no point in thinking we can. Barca has become such a big brand now I think we will always be able to manage the debts now, we made over 1 billion in revenue last year, in 2017 we made 700m... it's just getting bigger each year as are the transfers, wages etc.

Yeah.... I'm thinking PSG are doing this on purpose and they'll sell to Real Madrid at the last minute.

They're trolling us and Barto hasn't got a clue what's happening...... like the whole time he's been at Barcelona.

That's not how it works.

Neymar isn't even playing for PSG at the moment, so they could easily sell him and have the proper funds to bring players in. By making this last longer and longer, they risk losing out on selling Neymar for a reasonable price.
