The finances aren't as restrictive as is claimed.
Yes we don't have much to spend but we also never try to raise it either. We only sell players in downturns or that we're desperate to get rid of but we never sell any players other teams will pay a lot for.
We have this very protective mentality over players who play well for us when the best business teams like Madrid have many times sold players in good form or who were very desired in the market if they think its the right decision going forward.
The likes of Balde, Gavi, Pedri, Araujo in last year's market can probably get you 100m each from the right club (I list them as an example, not that I want all of them sold). We probably have been offered more than that in some cases. We don't have to sell all of them - we don't even have to sell more than one. Just one sale like that could help our situation hugely and probably at not a huge loss as we have players who can replace them. I understand the concerns about losing young talent going forward but when you have players like Romeu starting in the team how can you afford to make any player untouchable, especially youth players who haven't proven themselves yet.
We need to look a bit more forward and start making tough decisions with the squad rather than being protective over all our La Masia players and barely having any money to spend every season as a result. Players like Frenkie would also improve given better teammates and if our general performance improves we will be able to make more money back from good European performances. The current administrative route where we don't sell any good player, to the point where we will sell the club's rights instead, is harming the club's chances.
