career ending
Probably, but he'll sell off his stomach as prime real estate in the next lever. Someone will pay billions to build a stretch of condos on it.Didn’t he say that last summer as well?

The €14M gross that FDJ received in his original contract does not seem to me a disproportionate salary, and less being this before the pandemic.I think they should be sanctioned with how blatant and obvious their tactics have been lately. They're beating other teams to sing players by offering some ridiculous wages only to blackmail them later on into taking paycuts.
He did, last August....Didn’t he say that last summer as well?
I don't know if he said it, he is a compulsive liar. But this time he has no choice but to do so.Didn’t he say that last summer as well?
Probably got him down to £3.50 and luncheon vouchers (ask yer dad).Tweet

They are doing it right now. Lewy, Christensen, Kessie and Raphina are registered so far. Sergi Roberto and Dembele should follow, while Kounde will be registered next week, since he was injured most of the summer anyways.So they have less than 24hrs to register new players. Good luck with that
The only way to do both of these simultaneously is to sell players with high wages and buy players with lower wages while not spending much more than you sell for.Laporta in an interview said that in the coming years Barcelona will spend little and that they must lower the wage bill.
Which would be a disaster for this squad if doesn’t achieve what they need them to achieve.The only way to do both of these simultaneously is to sell players with high wages and buy players with lower wages while not spending much more than you sell for.
Not really something Barca has excelled at lately?
Yeah, but that's in the coming years. For them to be able to sell players on big wages in a couple of years time, they need to sign those players on big wages now.The only way to do both of these simultaneously is to sell players with high wages and buy players with lower wages while not spending much more than you sell for.

Busquets ends contract this year, Piqué and Alba the next. Also they will eliminate some high amortizations.The only way to do both of these simultaneously is to sell players with high wages and buy players with lower wages while not spending much more than you sell for.

Man of the moment, played the long game very wellWho would have known that one day my username would become so relevant?
You should immediately apply for promotion. You are being wasted in the newbies.Who would have known that one day my username would become so relevant?
Be careful, more than one here would sell you for signing a few players.Who would have known that one day my username would become so relevant?
Busquets and Alba will both need quality replacements though, to avoid issues with quality of XI options and squad depth.Busquets ends contract this year, Piqué and Alba the next. Also they will eliminate some high amortizations.

Finding a replacement for Busquets will be a problem. We will see how the transfer of Nico to Valencia goes, otherwise we will have to spend significant money on a substituteBusquets and Alba will both need quality replacements though, to avoid issues with quality of XI options and squad depth.
Same thing with Auba/Lewa when they get too old/leave (but perhaps one younger replacement for both is enough).
It's going to be a tough balancing game in the next 2-3 years or so.
Isn't FDJ is a perfect candidate for the #6 role? As a deep lying playmaker bring the ball out from the back? I thought his playing style is to drop in between the centre-backs to dictate the flow of the game. His salary is an issue to the current board, but the cost to find a replacement isn't going to be cheap either, right?Finding a replacement for Busquets will be a problem.

Alba's replacement could be Gayá who ends his contract next year if he does not renew.
Balde is having a good evolution but is still very young.
In the CF position I think Barcelona will go for Endrick if the guy continues to evolve and becomes a great player.
Fati can also play there.
How? Jesus Talking about sustainabilityThey are doing it right now. Lewy, Christensen, Kessie and Raphina are registered so far. Sergi Roberto and Dembele should follow, while Kounde will be registered next week, since he was injured most of the summer anyways.
You're right, there's not many deep lying midfielders who can break-up play and start the transition to attack. We've been after one all summer but are still trying.Finding a replacement for Busquets will be a problem.

I think they're still waiting to register 3 but have registered 4 players now?So they found another lever? Really? Still unable to register one player though it seems. What part of Barcelona did they sell off this time?

For me FDJ is the ideal player for that position, but the one who decides is Xavi, and he doesn't see him in that position.You're right, there's not many deep lying midfielders who can break-up play and start the transition to attack. We've been after one all summer but are still trying.
If FDJ does leave (which I'm unfortunately doubtful of), I'd be seriously questioning Xavi. That's a difficult position to fill and he's shown he can do it well.For me FDJ is the ideal player for that position, but the one who decides is Xavi, and he doesn't see him in that position.
So we will have to look for a player if Nico does not progress well at Valencia.
Neville still has Barca nightmares from his 0:7. Can't explain his posts otherwise. This guy was a very bad manager, so he became a Social Media "journalist". People give this guy way too much attention, because he was a good footballer at some point.Tweet

By reports he isn’t fit and ready to play anyway. So I guess that’s why it’s less urgent to get him registered.Imagine being Kounde, the one player out of five they don't bother registering, and your place in the team is dependent on wage reductions or sales with a couple of weeks left in the window. Farcical football club.
