Xavi Hernández

Being sceptical is one thing, but I can't understand certain users actively rooting against Xavi.

As I mentioned previously, it's part of the act not to humiliate one of your players in front of the media. Alex Ferguson was cruel in that part, benching or leaving players out of the squad with the pretext "He's injured" in the press when they weren't. Xavi cannot afford that with the poor quality on the team anyway.

Organization was blinded by success for years

La Masia is not a problem because Barca players sweeped the Balon awards. Come on now. I think Xavi is just frustrated he doesn't have the perfect team of players to do what he wants. At least he has a talented but young midfield.

Gloating about being right and "I told you so" on an online forum with strangers is very important you know.

" Atletico do not intend to exercise the optional purchase of Griezmann"

Wtf bros I thought it was mandatory.

It will be financial ruin if Dembele, Coutinho, AND Griezmann all leave for free

Watching his press conference. Do enjoy hearing him speak. Only annoying when they switch to Catalan.

We are lucky with new generation but only got few prospects out of LaMasia in the past ten years.. it didn't work. Pedri was signing.

Don't think so. Players receive their salary based on a budget each year and handing a total of 50m or so in the next 2-3 years on Coutinho and Griezmann cannot ruin Barca financially. I'm not counting Dembele at all in this thing as he's running out of his. Also what this whole thing has to do with Xavi thread?

Ok so with Atletico choosing not to exercise the buy option for Griezmann all 3 of our flops will likely leave for free. So let's do the maths

Transfer Fees
Dembele 135m
Greizmann 135m 120m initial fee then 15m penalty
Coutinho 160m

Total 430m

Salary
Dembele ?14,924,000 a year so 74,620,000 over 5y
Griezmann ?30,888,000 a year so 123,552,000 over 4y
Coutinho ?21,112,000 a year so 84,448,000

Minus 1 year from Coutinho loan and the 8.5m loan fee and the 1 year Griezmann loan we get a total salary expense of

274,120,000

Total Expense
704m

And the career highlights of each before leaving on a free

Coutinho scored two goals against us in a 8-2 humiliationl lol

Dembele the opem goal miss against Liverpool which woukd have won us the treble

Griezmann the copa win tbf.

Overall

Lol

Just to correct you Europa League winner side.

Our away record is absolutely abysmal. They are beatable but if Xavi comes in with Lenglet and Umtiti like against Osasuna it is a sure loss.

Same difference.

Not CL standard.

Neither are we. Expecting a good 30 minutes from us then the usual domination from the opposing team. Hope we score 5 goals in those 30 minutes to compensate for our defense.
