A player that wouldn't want to be here, and we'd only get if no other top club want him first.
What could possibly go wrong.

The PM of Spain about to get a call from his Catalan coalition partners to right this grievous wrong.
Can't be fun supporting Barcelona these recent years. They've ruined everything they stood for.
I remember their UNICEF days.

Is it really so difficult to just not sign anyone for one or two windows and sort your finances out? Wtf is wrong with that scummy club
Mes que un Pube
Considering they have the best academy in the world and continuously pump out multiple NT level players every season it's rather odd. They have become just like Real in that they always need the shiny new thing regardless.
I mean really what was the point of them signing Olmo and putting themselves back under financial pressure when they already have a midfield grouping of Pedri, Gavi, FDJ, Marc Casado, Fermin Lopez, Pablo Torre. That on top of the fact they had to let Gundogan go for free to make it happen in the first place.
this kind of bad luck will follow you if you invite an albino into your house.
Yeah, abysmal management considering the shambles they took over from Bartomeu etc. - & it’s a signing, arguably, they didn’t even need to make and would have still been comfortable competing for the league/earn a UCL place. That’s without even considering his injury record.
The average age of those players is 21. It's a little too green. Some of Barcelona's signings have been dubious but you can't really have a squad that is so heavily reliant on youth players.
Barcelona have a very good academy but they do not 'pump out multiple NT level players every season.' Nobody does.

Can’t believe it actually got rejected. This is as unexpected as it is deserved. Screw them
Well let’s see if we can get him in then. Might as well, as he’s on a free
If he could tolerate Leipzig, he might be able to handle Manchester haha

Maybe multiple every season was a bit off the mark but both Cubarsi and Casado (despite debuting earlier) have emerged this year. And both Yamal and Fermin Lopez last season.
Before that they were getting one high level starter each season (Balde 22/23, Gavin 21/22, Pedri 20/21). That's a pretty insane rate.
With the likes of Guille Fernandez, Marc Bernal, Hector Fort, Toni Fernandez coming through you can be sure they'll be more too.
Imagine losing Gündogan for free and paying 60m for 15 games from Olmo.

Barca ain't scared to swindle
It's been 7 months, no goals

Barcelona had a period of a decade or so where their academy didn't really produce much of note. Sergi Roberto is the only player from that era that became a first team regular.
They have been producing better players since, but that raises the question: has their academy happened to start producing lots of great players just as their first team is having money problems, or are they moving players up out of necessity, many of which are, perhaps, not that good? I think there's a bit of both, and many of these players aren't going to be anything special (relatively speaking).
Also Pedri is not a Masia player.
Anyway I think the bigger issue is the ages, since Barcelona don't have many veteran or prime-age players then relying on academy would lead to a far-too-young team.

That myth again. They bought him for €20m+.
Mes qué la verdad
Hello it's Di Maria in 2014
And none of them working...
They are obsessed with Real Madrid. Since we have had success, they feel like they need to triple down on everything for the short term even if it destroys them in the long term. It’s really sad tbh Camp Nou is on its studs with no timetable because they saw how we updated the Bernabeu.
Whilst United are at a low at least we seem to be working towards righting the wrongs. At least the club didn't get as crazy as Barca has - footballing wise they're doing OK but the club is a complete joke and I can only assume they'll be in big trouble the more it goes on.
Looks like he'll be eligible to play afterall, at least for the remainder of the season. What a circus.
If they manage to drag it out long enough. The league and FA are going to have a vested interest in getting this sorted asap though, so we'll see
Might as well rename the league Laligalona at this point.
'El CSD considera que la no adopción de esta medida cautelar causaría un perjuicio economico y deportivo grave para el club, y sobre todo, para los futbolistas. Esto podria dañar tambien los intereses de la seleccion española, asi como del resto de las competiciones nacionales, incluida La Liga'
"CSD considers not granting this measure would put the club in financial and sporting jeopardy, as it would put the players in that situation. This could also hurt the interests of the Spanish NT, and the national competitions, such as the league."
"They're Barca, we gotta help them out."
They're such a filthy, cnuty club. Rules simply don't apply to them.

What a shocking development
To be clear: this is a temporary lift of the expired registrations. They'll go to judgement and then we'll see. For Barcelona the game now is delay for as long as possible
I can’t understand why anyone would want to play for this club as it is today. They treat players, both former and current, like shit and there is so much insecurity that never seems to go away.
May as well lock this unless they lose the registration again.
What a ridiculous explanation btw.
Not registering him „would cause serious economic and sporting damage to the club“. Well, that is on them since they have been living above their means for quite a while.
Predictable really.
Doubt the player wants to be here.
Laporta acting like a clown and celebrating while throwing insults is somehow, enjoyable. We all know he is a disgusting piece of crap and acts like that exhibit his true persona.
What I find absurd is how he still has people believing anything that comes from his mouth, or denying all the damage he has done to the club. If Bartomeu was incompetent and stupid, being the main responsible for their financial crisis; Laporta has just made everything worse: selling a lot of the club's property and heritage just to have some money that will eventually, become a debt with huge interest for the future.

As if it was ever in doubt.
Not interested in anywhere but Barca and looking like they can register him now.
