Maybe, this might explain better why it's happening.

The thing is, Barca has a formidable fan base and Laporta is banking to generate revenues with big money signings. More so, winning the La Liga or any major cup ( the UCL or something close) would further improve the chances of buying back what we sold.

What we took is simply a loan that can be repaid ( some of which we have already done but the media doesn't show that). I'm pretty certain that Barcelona financial analysts have weighed the odds and communicated it to the socios before majority of them signed on the deal.

Okayy thank you, I'll look at it (video) and give my feedback

Neimar:
So nobody wan buy Braithwaite, Umtiti

even man U wey dey find players

Barca will be able to register 4-5 players tomorrow due to pique salary reduction

I pity de Jong on the field of play ,he will be a scape goat for the fans

If anyone is interested
It comes with different levels of levers - levels 1 -25 or even more! but things can get a little Messi if not built correctly and then you run out of levers.

Lol

Jodera:
For every top club's CEO, president and top level member to be saying such a thing about Barca, isn't it a cause of concern? I mean, don't you see it as one?

It's more than one or two top club member that have said such and to me that's ringing something in my head Tbh. If to say na nairaland analyst, papers or pundits talking all these things, I would have dismissed it without second thoughts but once people who also run top clubs are saying something like this repeatedly, then it means it's something new and strange and obviously cause for concern.
I don't feel they'll be trolling or insulting Barca at this point, they're too professional to do that — at least, my years of following football and its news tells me so— so it's very very concerning

Anyways, make I dey watch.

We’ll be fine. The whole buzz about Barca is issue of wage bill which is the major headache not the transfer fees or the debt itself. Some of the debts have been repaid already and others have been structured to be paid in medium to long term.

Major headache is the wage bill. Bart gave out 300m+ in contract extensions to 4 players 1 week before resigning just to save 30m due to Covid. That’s where this whole problem is. We need to cut down that wage bill drastically.

Laporta planned to activate 4 levers but after activating the 2nd lever which is the sale of the Barca studios felt there was no further need to sell more assets. All was needed was to ship the dead woods to cut down the wages.

Problem is that a player like Umtiti can’t be moved due to his knee issues as he failed his medicals to move to Lens if I’m correct. Braithwaite is refusing to leave despite receiving 3x his current offer and wants to leave if the club buys out the rest of contract. Frenkie is also refusing to leave or accept a pay cut.

Also La Liga is not allowing registrations so Barca have to go ahead to activate the full levers as planned before.

All this will end at the end of the transfer window. We have a very good squad right now that’ll compete. If we win La Liga this season, it will make things much easier in other to ship out guys like Braithwaite and Umtiti and probably De Jong. I think we’ll be very fine

he has lost all my respect honestly.
You're earning way too much than you deserve and you still don't want to help the club.
Even with the reduction of his salary, he'll still be one of the highest earners in our squad yet for whatsoever reason, he dey do stronghead.

I just dey wait make he no perform at high level consistently this season, he no go like himself .

if he leaves it will be a good blessings, but if he doesnt Xabi should better send him to the stands or Barca Athletic

Pique that's probably going to be heavily benched this season behind every centre back is still reducing and giving up deferred salaries, Busquets is about to reduce his, MATS is in talks to do so but our "starboy" that's always smiling and claiming to love the club is putting us on a hot seat, Neither reducing his salary nor wanting to move to a team that can pay that salary, I hope the Silva move gets completed very soon as it was even because of him I didn't want the former to be signed earlier

Your president idea of cutting down wage bill is buying more players and adding to it.

Neymar1095:

The idea is to buy good players with all of them under the salary structure of under 10m net and ship out the deadwoods on inflated salaries while also renegotiating the bogus salaries of old players.

Yup, they're either coaches or club owners so we definitely don't know more than them, Afterall a club selling 25% of it's tv rights looks like suicide in the long run afterall it's hardly ever done, IMO bro some of this statements reek of either envy or plain ignorance, I mean last month a teleconference was set up to discuss and vote on this meetings, Everything was shown to the general public so when you see some kind of statements feigning ignorance it just throwing shots, it's crazy man
Bro we are defo gonna lose money, All Barca fans know, those putting out statements too know but the honchos that initiated those sales have mitigated the factors and risks before pulling it off, We are going to lose 5% of our total revenue but if the team stays competitive, winning trophies and attracting more sponsors to the Spotify camp plus bigger merch. Sales, the effect won't be felt like before
If we decided to go the la masia route to try and hit it big like in 2009, if it doesn't click we'll be left behind in 4-5 yrs and we urgently need cash to pay most of our debt that has been restructured to the long term, I admit some are concerned but others know and just want to throw jabs cause they can't afford to see a supposed fallen giant trying to make it's way back up so quickly, Paraphrasing sorrano's own statement, If one is not able to get bread today and becomes very weak how is he gonna get the strength to make more bread tomorrow
Im speaking as a barça fan bro so you may have noted diff streaks of bias but it is what it is, Sorry for the long epistle

Common sense will be to clear out the dead woods before adding to it. Now you have new signings and deadwoods all together. How many deadwoods have left the club? Very soon your president will ask pique and Busquet to play for free to show how much dey love Barca.

Neymar1095:

What’s wrong in having a squad depth with everyone earning decently and no one being overpaid ?

So because we are cutting down wage bill we should not get quality players ,we should continue paying lord frenkie de Jong his over paid salary ,maybe he will single handedly win us trophies ?

Kessie ,Christensen ,raphinha ,lewandowski,none of these new signings are earning 200k weekly ,lewandowski is on 170K ,even with pay cut Lord frenkie de Jong will still earn more than lewandowski

I pity him when he starts a game for Barca ,he better gives us KDB performance

Don’t worry about pique and busquets ,this is the last year of their contracts,unless you will be the one to offer them extension.

How you see this bellerin to barça links? Make we carry am?

Neymar1095:

indeed

This is gross. Spanish tax deducts between 46% and 52% of these figures.

So do the math. You'll see Andrewbaba44 is right, as always, while you're wrong as always.

Kilishihunter:

How you see this bellerin to barça links? Make we carry am?

Yes. Let him compete with Dest. No one will be clear favourite to start.

jpmoriarti:

Does the 52% not come from Barca budget or it's from your empty pocket?

jpmoriarti:
Yes. Let him compete with Dest. No one will be clear favourite to start.

Well considering he played well for Betis last season he'll be worth a try plus with the nice squad we have and him being former teammates with Auba, it might force him to give his best in stark contrast to the latter part of his arsenal days, I think he and his agent are negotiating to terminate his contract though, Let's just see

andrewbaba44:

Fans met him yesterday with hails and all but the yeye English media no day show that one. I don't think it has to do with Jong right now.. There's more. Even Busi has refused further salary reduction.

Oldboss:


if he leaves it will be a good blessings, but if he doesnt Xabi should better send him to the stands or Barca Athletic

Nah, Jong deserves better. As much as he has been stupid not to take a cut, I believe it'll be unfair to not use a professional of his value and expertise. I'll be banking at him to re-invent himself under Xavi.

andrewbaba44:

Laporta masterclass. Reduce wage bill by buying more players there by increasing it along the way. Then proceed to beg more players to take paycuts. Look at your last season wage vs current wages. What a superb increase by 26Million.

No be La masia product? Well, he's better than Dest in defending and average offensively. Hope he does well.

Astute reply.

And for the dead woods, no team in the world has it easy clearing out a player that doesn't want to leave. So far, Laporta has been doing well and it'll be fair if we can activate the fourth lever ( which I think should have been done to complete the registration saga).

It hasn't been easy but people need to understand while Laporta is taking this approach...we wouldn't want to sink into mediocrity like Ac Milan

You screenshot one fake nonsense come here...if this was Barca's payroll we wouldn't have had any problem in the first place.

Our economic president said we had a salary mass of 560m euros almost double of Bayern and the goal is to reduce it 400m euros before transfer window shuts but you choose to believe trash from one unknown english blogger typing shit from his mama house.
