    The problem for them isnt the transfer fees because you can always restructure debt and payments but the wage bill and La Liga rules regarding it.

      Agreed, don't forget the agent fees, sign on fees and performance related bonuses - there's even a new entourage fee i.e. the player's dad/ relative get something.
      Player's like Haaland are said to be available for €66m but the total financial package to get him, if reports are to be believed, is around €350m over 6 years!

      Actually transfer fees is the one thing who put them in the edge of bankruptcy in the first place..
      Big transfer fees to buy Coutinho and Griezman comes from debt, assuming from their star power comes great merchandising opportunity, TV Rights, and Branding Awareness around the globe.. So then it will pay their wage..
      Then comes COVID-19 and now we can clearly see how they're struggling to pay their debt.. Had they just use their available money without debt they wouldn't afford to buy Griezman and also wouldn't need to pay Griezman wage in the first place.. The same applies to Coutinho

    Clubs like Barca, Madrid, etc. are too big to fail. There will be years of downturn trying to fix finances but they'll always manage to ask for loans & restructure their debts cuz of the huge amount of money they bring in each year which can be used to pay back the loan over a very lengthy period. The wages are the only stumbling block to being truly competitive but transfer fees won't be much of an issue through clever financial accounting.

      How is he going to do that? He is getting rid of their big name players and relying on the young players mixed with deadwood and newly arrived washed up stars. I know some Barca fans who don't even watch their games anymore. Many of them were not Barca fans at all, but supported someone like Messi or Griezmann. All Laporta is doing is pilling up the debt and deferring player wages with the excuse of FFP. People think he convinced players to lower their wages considerably, but in reality he is deferring them.
      They are on their way to become the new Arsenal or Milan. Why? Because R. Madrid is superior and they are going to make big signings. This means, Barcelona will say good bye to the league and of course UCL. Winning the copa del rey does not guaranty their players to remain loyal in the future. We all have seen what happened at Arsenal, even if they managed to win the FA cup, because it's not enough.

    A great explanation as always, but Barcelona really should be seen as an example of what's happening with football on a global scale. Escalating wages and extortionate transfer and agent fees are slowly killing the game. Football is becoming a giant Ponzi scheme, with money being pumped in on the promise of big payouts in the future that might not happen. If it carries on, we may see more and more "smaller" clubs go extinct.

      Barca have no one to blame but themselves. No one told them spend that much, they panicked after PSG bought Neymar and went silly with the money.

      @@schutang I absolutely agree, Barca are solely to blame for their situation, but it's also worth acknowledging that the PSG/Neymar deal royally screwed up transfers big time by obliterating the previous record transfer deal - suddenly, average footballers were "worth" two to three times what they were before. Another issue is firms like Goldman Sachs who've bankrolled Barca's current cash influx, enabling them to kick the can down the road for a few more years, merely delaying the inevitable financial implosion.

      Humans learn from their mistakes, and without that Neymar transfer, We might couldn't see this big problem..
      Also now we can see it clearly and learn that big expensive players more often than not wouldn't improve your team strength, but they would always become your liability in the long term.. Coutinho, Dembele, Griezman, Kepa, Maguire is a good example..

With transfers going up in the wake of the Neymar deal, all players suddenly got more expensive - Maguire for example is not an £80 million pound player.

    I don't know why people are so surprised. Clubs like Madrid and Barcelona are very unlikely to collapse. Their history and prestige will keep attracting great players. There will always be young players who want to succeed in the same shirts Ronaldo and Messi did. And financialy, even if they have no money and are millions in debt, they are 2 of the biggest and most recognisable brands in the world. They will keep finding investment and loans.

      @@Richard-ib1ry I see where you're going, but I don't think they're really comparable for a few reasons. First, when Milan started its decline, they had a very very old squad. I'm talking like 6-7-8 of the regular starters being over 30 years. And they had no young quality players coming in from the Academy. In that regard Barcelona has a few players in key positions who are aging, yes, but they also have a bunch of really exciting young footballers for the future, and one of the best academies in the world with La Masia, which will no doubt keep producing talent for them.

      @@Richard-ib1ry Second, Milan was owned by Silvio Berlusconi, then bought by chinese investors and now owned by an American firm. Private ownership of a club means 2 things: the owners can do with the team as they want without the fans' involvement and the people running the club do not necessarily know much about football and are not necessarily invested in the team's history, culture, fanbase or city. Barcelona is owned by their socios, who elect the club's president in democratic elections. They can also vote the president out if they disapprove of his management, and elect a new one. Of course all that doesn't guarantee that the person at the top of the club is always going to be competent (see Bartomeu), but it helps to know that the club can't become a toy for foreign billionaires who know nothing about football and/or deep down don't care about the club, and that if whoever is in charge is not doing well, they can always pressure to kick him out and elect someone new.

The commercial appeal of Barça and the magnitude of its brand is huge, much bigger than Milan's was (or is). Make no mistake, they are in terrible debt, but they are still making hundreds of millions in merchandising every year, and will keep doing it. All that means they won't have trouble finding investment, loans and lucrative commercial deals to help them turn the situation around.

    • @LaughterCigar
      @LaughterCigar 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Selling De Jong would make sense precisely for those reasons. He's one of their biggest assets: he's young with a lot of potential, but also already experienced and can give results right away. Many teams will be willing to make and effort and invest big in his signing, and Barça could really use the money right now. He's also one of the club's top earners, so Barcelona could make some valuable space in their salary cap by selling him, which is what they need the most.
      But most of all, they wouldn't be losing much sporting-wise. He's been really underwhelming for them the last season and a half, and they already have three players in Gavi, Nico and Pedri who are much younger, much cheaper (two of them are from La Masia and the other cost 5 M, and between the 3 they earn about 1/5 of what De Jong is earning) and seem much more commited to the club, completely outperforming him in midfield in every sense.

    Barca is so Desperate to increase their attack to satisfied their fans is so laughable.. Yes Ferran is a good player but compromising your team to can't buy any future viable player is not a good plan.. But of course Barca's fans would cheer and praise Laporta to pull of this stupid plan..
    Yes Barca recognized as attacking team with their devastating attack but they are in the edge of bankruptcy now, so Solid Improvement is needed more than A Fancy Attacking Addition to their team..
    How long you guys can realize Solid Defense is always better to achieve success than A Fancy Attacking style?
    They need to learn from Madrid, Their mistakes to bring A Fancy Attacking Hazard and Jovic if we compare to How Effective Eder Militao for Madrid right now

      They're not stupid. These are financial decisions, they're waiting for free transfers in the summer for defenders. The team isn't compromised with Ferran's signing, idk what you're talking about. With all debt accounted for in this fiscal year, they will have even more buying power in the summer. In addition there'll be new sponsors and sale of stadium's naming rights. Idk who is more clueless.

      @@LukeSciberraschannel Yeah it stupid because good luck find a good relatively young age free transfer defender, If they spare Ferran Torres fee they would have more options to buy a solid young defender..
      Also Ferran arrival required Umtiti to agree cut his wages, So most likely if Barca can get a Good Solid Young Defender in free transfer, they still need to sell one of their big name player..
      Luckily for Laporta, Barca doesn't need to buy a Solid Defenders in Free Transfer, A flop Defender like Lenglet is enough.. Because Barca's fans hate a Solid Defensive Team, they called it "Negative Football"..
      And I'm happy to see a "Beautiful football" team like Barca struggling while a Solid "Negative Football" like Sevilla gains success.. To prove that Attacking is not always "Beautiful", and Defending is not always "Negative"

      @@naufalpahlevi8976 clearly you're clueless and talking out of your ass when they can get Sule, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Mazraoui all free in the summer. They don't need a young cb, they have Araujo, Eric, and not to mention their renewed focus on La Masia talents. They do need and have been looking for a new LB as Xavi hasn't trusted Balde which is why they're trying to get Tagliafico.
      Your talk of the wage issue in the winter transfer window means absolutely nothing in the summer when they've stacked the club's losses all in this fiscal year. Additionally you will have dembele either leaving or renewing with lower wages. Let's not forget the possibility of the new sponsorship deal, sale of camp nou naming rights, and sale of minority share in barca studios.
      It's quite obvious they're making mostly short term decisions now with loans and planning for the medium to long term.
      Everyone would still agree attacking football is positive and defensive football is negative, winning or losing is a different thing all together which is what you seem to be mixing up.

      @@LukeSciberraschannel Stop Talking about Bullshit and be realistic dude, Look what's happening now and stop hallucinating so much..
      If Eric Garcia or Araujo already good enough, At least good enough to deal with a club like Betis, Barca should've win or at least draw when they meet in league match.. And yeah, just see the score..
      Yes Sule, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Mazraoui might be available but to get them Barca need to offer a good wages.. So realistically maybe only Azpilicueta would agreed with Barca's offer since he is not young anymore..
      You're imagining Barcelona would easily be able to sell Dembele to another club.. Just see what Dembele's behavior dude.. Look at his attitude and professionalism let alone his performance in the field..
      So you still saying attacking is positive and defensive is negative? LMAO, no wonder there's no fans warn that Stupid Bartomeu before he decide to buy Dembele, Coutinho and Griezman with stupid fees and wages.. Barca Fans only reacting when they have a poor results as if that poor results comes from their lack attacking options.. 😂
      Just look how Man City dominate Premier League in the last 5 years, they spent so much on Defender and a great keeper.. Also look at how Liverpool finally win a title when they bought Alisson and Van Dijk to improve their Defense not when they bought Mane and Salah to improve their attacks

      1. I'm not saying they're good enough, I'm saying that signing a young defender is not a priority. They have them and they have potential to grow and improve. And if all you're talking about is final scores, this is a pointless conversation. They've been conceding because of their fullbacks, defensive lapses as a team or single mistakes like busquets giving the ball away, and lack of focus during set pieces. Araujo and pique has actually been relatively good so far though with some room to improve.
      2. Their financial situation will be very different in the summer reith their wage bill possibly increasing from 90+ mil to 300 mil. You are absolutely Clueless about what management has done this financial year so that it will be a different situation in the summer and are talking out of your ass.
      3. Even if they don't sell dembele this window, his wages, which are significant, are off the books in the summer, and that's several million saved.
      4. You absolute do not get my point and are reiterating the same bullshit with different words. It's about entertainment and the joy of football. If you love to pay to watch a team park the bus and score one goal and win, that's great. The majority of people want to see positive attacking football. I said winning and losing is a different thing all together already before yet you bring that up again. Still mixing up the two. The key is a balanced team to win titles, definitely. I'm not saying you're wrong and defence isn't important for that, it is important. But if you love the beautiful game like most people, you'd understand why being defensive is negative.
