Birdy wanted him gone for free an not to play for 5/6 months.

Usual.. called it wrong.

Now moaning club wont get enough for him.

Usual.

Wrong every time.

The club always knew this could happen this summer and this was argued a year ago it most likely would and if they wanted a Dembele type that is what should be brought in as cover last summer to bed in.

Barcelona have officially authorized Ousmane Dembélé to agree with PSG.
Barça had until today to give their authorization. After this period, Dembélé had a clause allowing him to terminate his contract to go on a free.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ALLEMANY???

Few days ago you said you were happy he is leaving why are you bitter now? IMHO if Dembele leaving is a BIG problem for Barca than we have became a joke of a club. This guy brought nothing to this club. During the years some seriously big names (Maradona, Figo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar, Messi etc.) left the club and the club survived and sometimes even got better. With that in mind losing a player like Dumbele should not be a serious problem for this club. I'd rather say; thank you for nothing Dembele and go f... yourself. :)

The problem of Dembele leaving is three-fold:

(1) We lost our starting RW and one of our most creative players

(2) Our reputation took another hit as we are being taken advantage of yet again, another player wanted to leave to go to another club, and a lesser club if you will

(3) Through this saga we learned how bad the club handled Dembele's contract and how bad we are in terms of player management (the club knew nothing about him wanting to leave and was caught by surprise? Duh, you set a 50m release clause in the first place so you should have seen it coming!)

So how much are we getting from private clause of 50mil?

If we get 50mil, I am not to bad, 70mil would be dream but it is what it is...

Still can't belive Chuckuweze went for 20mil and Diaby for 50mil.

Felix and Carrasco are rulled out, hope so same for B.Silva

2 and 3 are very important IMO

It shows how badly Laporta has handled many operations to this day
He came to save us from the disastrous Bartomeu management to allow his embarrassment again?

They absolutely saw it coming as a possibility. Hence why Raphinha is still at club and no real attempt to move him on.

The fuck up on Dembele stems back to Dec 20/Jan 21 and Laporta the politician trying to tell everyone what they want to hear. The agent called him up on it and pulled out agreed contract.

From there been no trust between Dembele/agent and board.

The summer 2022 should have been better planned with Dembele profile in when this was such a high chance of happening but they can get round it by altering team set up.

Team will be fine even if lacks pace at moment.

Again clueless
You probably took a long break and didn't read all the rumours that if Ansu and Ferran refuse to leave, the next to go would be Raphinia for a decent offer (80m or so).

The club thought, contrary to what you say, that Dembele is to stay and if one of the important unitsgoes it would be Raphina

Apparently Xavi was led to believe that he would renew

Fake news.

Raphinha was never going to leave bar some huge offer above what they valued him at and couldnt turn down.

Had Dembele renewed that would have changed.

The club were well aware this could happen. Wrong again.

Do better.

So IF the latest report is true, then it looks like Dembele left two options for the club:

(1) Someone to trigger the 50m release clause by end of day July 31st, 2023

(2) Someone to send Barça a letter of intent or whatever to buy him before end of day July 31st, 2023 and the club has to agree to it by end of day August 1st, 2023, otherwise Dembeles leaves for FREE

GENIUSES at the club for agreeing to this.

Better than alternative of him leaving for free last summer if were not going to give him wages wanted but damage was done by then.

All trust between two sides had gone.

Where would have he gone for free last summer? Only realistic answers allowed

Sissoko didn't bring any offers close to the players demands
He could have gone to Chelsea for similar or less money that the Barca reduced offer they took
No other possibility, as no other top sides were actively working to sign him

The Dembele you claim is world class and just had his best ever spell for Barca at end of last season would have had no options?

Try again.

Now trying to argue no other clubs wanted the great Dembele.

Usual.

Poor Dembele been out a job had Barca not renewed eh! Not quite man Birdy made out it seems.
