TaylorJ_01 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Tottenham looking to tear up Aurier's contract say SSN. Had a few stinkers in recent years, though Ndombele takes the cake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona gave Atletico €86m, Luis Suarez, the league title and Antoine Griezmann in exchange for Antoine Griezmann.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Atletico did waste that money on Joao Felix mind, not been a successful transfer so far. Edited August 31, 2021 by neesy111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Man, we were surely broke. Let me see, if everybody's fit I guess we'll run out with: Ter Stegen Dest García Piqué Alba Busquets Pedri De Jong Dembelé Agüero Depay But the squad is paper thin.

Newcastle Fan Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The good thing with Barcelona is that they have a proper academy so even if you merge some of the youngsters with the more experienced players the team is still going to be able to win games and compete for titles.

Village Idiot Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 We aren't competing for anything this season, but if the wheels don't come off we should still have enough for a Top 4 finish in Spain. That said, we do have a crop of exciting young players so that gives me some hope for the future. Pity we lost Moriba, though. Him, Pedri, and De Jong would have sorted our midfield for the decade.

Decky Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Are yous not completely fucked with debt though? Surely they will be cashing in on players, including young players coming through, for years to sort themselves out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've cut a *massive* amount of our wage bill this season (close to €200m, will see when the official figures are released by La Liga), will see if it's enough.

Village Idiot Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I just realized that now that we've flipped Emerson, all our transfer expense this season is the 500k loan fee for Demir. Everything else (Agüero, García, Depay, etc...) all free transfers. And we've lost half our goal haul from last year in Messi and Griezmann. This is the worst transfer window in living memory, but I guess that's how things are after the Bartomeu mismanagement and Covid.

True - next season they should see the emergence of Collardo, Gavi and Balde - they have a really good crop of players at youth level currently so they can dip into pool Griezemann was on 46m a year apparently - think I read each season his salary goes up, they had to sell him had they offloaded Coutinho. Umtiti and Pjanic it would have been a “successful” window in terms of massively reducing the debt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Do people think Tottenham should have sold Kane for £100m? I'm surprised they didn't cash out tbh. Unless they are hoping for a stormer of a season and get that price/more next year. But he'll be 29 by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Barca's transfer dealings have been nothing short of criminal over the years. Not like other clubs were lining up to pay £120m for Griezmann, why on earth would they pay him 46m a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not talking us getting Messi or Ronaldo or anything. But I believe we'd have gotten Rafa back (or someone else of quality) and he would've brought in real quality this window. We'd be looking towards the top 6/8 for sure. Instead, here we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
