Opposing the Silva transfer is narrow minded and idealistic thinking. FC Barcelona over the next 4 seasons will have over 2 billion euros in revenue. Spending 0.04 billion or so of that on Thiago Silva in the hope that it helps the team win the Champions League is the most obvious and smartest thing the club could do.
won't they pay salaries,and currently our team is in top three highest salary paying club,we have a large debt,we want to expand the camp nou and within that next 4 season we will be looking for 3 or 4 cb, two of them will be world class to replace Ts(if we sign him) and pique,and majority of our team(alves,iniesta,valdes,pinto) and future replacement for messi,pedro,busquet.it will be unwise and madrid like of our team to sign TS,it is funny how madrid are now buying fairly expensive youth and we are thinking about highly expensive 28yr olds and 27 yr old(rooney),a team that had the youngest squad some years ago and trusted in youth player are now planning to build a team with player in their their prime/player that will start declining in few years time.if we buy ts,he and almost all our star player will decline together and then we will need to start rebuilding after those 4 years,just inter and acmilan how easy that is and how many years it will take to build a team that can compete with elite team.what i think to do is sign young players to replace our aging and not aging for aging: i know deep down it rosell that is behind all this deal.he just want tito to keep the seat hot for now before he get mourinho cos he know the club fans and players will be angry if he get him now.
