As I pointed out already, with numbers, you don't actually need that many high quality players. 14-15 that can play 2000+ minutes and one or two that can contribute 1000-1500, that's about it. Barcelona are already past that and seemingly want to go further. Past that point you're just paying high salaries for people to be on the bench.Barcelona sees itself as a top club with the ambition to fight for all trophies. For that you need high quality players and not only for the starting 11, but also on the bench for various reasons:
Injury, recovery, motivation to perform on the highest level through competition, different skillsets for various systems against different opponents.
This is a squad that, after some winter additions and a change in manager, had a similar number of points as Real Madrid did, and won 0-4 at the Bernabeu. The idea that it needs half a dozen additions to be competitive is not supported by numbers or common sense. It is just total excess from a president that wants to Make A Statement.
