I think it was around €50mHow much did Barca pay for Lewandowski?

49.5mHow much did Barca pay for Lewandowski?
Agreed. Also weird how despite Chelsea joining forces with Barcelona saying they wanted a decision ASAP he hasn’t just jumped into their arms.I would be very surprised if de Jong is still a Barcelona player come the end of the transfer window.
Memphis has a low salary.Either Braithwhite or Memphis
That's that then. If Frenkie does not play tomorrow, he's definitely off. Or maybe not. I don't know. There could be another lever. Who knows.
He’s been injured since June. Didn’t take part of any pre season either:Kounde is out tomorrow
So Barca have beaten them to Raphinha and Kounde deals, can’t even register Kounde but want Chelsea to pay a silly fee for a 30+ year old, that they got on a free this year?This is going on.

United activate their first lever... Glazers dividendsIt's time for united to activate a lever and get FDJ.
Well to put it in context Barca have sold off potentially billions in revenue for 600 million right now to go on a shopping spree. Not sure I would be celebrating if we did the same. If by some miracle they don't get out of their CL group this year or even more hilariously end up 5th in La Liga they are going to be in an incredibly tough spot next summer with far fewer levers left to pull.Barca look like a complete joke of a club but are still out performing Utd in the transfer market several times over.... I have reached the point where I am taking pride in our incompetence, I mean if you do something really well celebrate it, right? we we are really great at being useless
That would be the end of Barcelona if that happens.Well to put it in context Barca have sold off potentially billions in revenue for 600 million right now to go on a shopping spree.

Hahaha seems right for most peopleRent free
Id say the opposite tbh. We had a few days which suggested he was close to Chelsea but recently it’s tilted again, especially given they haven’t even agreed a fee or spoken to his agent.This bit about FDJ preferring Chelsea over us - it seems to be be getting repeated quite often now.
Yup it's gone from advanced negotiations close to agreeing a fee and matching what United have offered, to now back to interest and wanting to negotiate a lower fee.Id say the opposite tbh.

I guess he probably wants to play ? With Pedri, Gavi, Kessie and Silva (potentially), he is looking at being benched quite often.If the fourth lever lets them register most of the new signings and then some combination of selling Memphis or Auba plus Pique's wage reduction allows them to register the rest, why would anybody expect FDJ to leave afterwards? He hasn't wanted to go all summer despite all this uncertainty hanging over the club and all their hamfisted attempts to force him out. After making it through all that and with all the players now registered, why would he leave at that point? Just to be nice and allow Laporta to buy Bernardo Silva to replace him?
I still don’t understand why Chelsea wouldn’t place a bid and strike an agreement with the agent, like United, then sit tight. This is the logical thing to do given it’s going to go to the wire. Surely you want everything good to go should it be a deadline day decision?Yup it's gone from advanced negotiations close to agreeing a fee and matching what United have offered, to now back to interest and wanting to negotiate a lower fee.
Seems like the lack of enthusiasm for a move has knocked Chelsea a bit and they're just dilly dallying a bit.
Eh? It’s been that case for two weeks now give or takeThis bit about FDJ preferring Chelsea over us - it seems to be be getting repeated quite often now.
Username checks outOk I’ve zipped up, my limp member can’t take anymore false hope. Off to the Rabiot thread to make inappropriate jokes about his mum.
Good job you’re happy being a newbie with terrible posts like this!Refreshing livescore tomorrow to see if Frenkie starts whilst we are chasing an equaliser at Brentford is going to be a new low for many of us.
They also want to renegotiate his wages, which he doesn’t want to reduce it (and rightly so).If the fourth lever lets them register most of the new signings and then some combination of selling Memphis or Auba plus Pique's wage reduction allows them to register the rest, why would anybody expect FDJ to leave afterwards?

Oh shut up we have gone way lower than that.Refreshing livescore tomorrow to see if Frenkie starts whilst we are chasing an equaliser at Brentford is going to be a new low for many of us.
This levels aren’t perfect solutions - their short term desperation and their long term plans are hamstrung by the levers.If the fourth lever lets them register most of the new signings and then some combination of selling Memphis or Auba plus Pique's wage reduction allows them to register the rest, why would anybody expect FDJ to leave afterwards?

Apparently the old regime made mistakes with high player wages and therefore a new regime coming in and asking everyone to take pay cuts is very normal. Give them some time and they'll tell you how pay cuts are not enough and the players should instead be paying Barcelona for having the privilege to pay for the club.Absolute basketcase of a club. They're just carrying on as if all of this is normal, and some of their fans are writing dissertations on why all of this is completely normal, and very necessary.

Technically they can keep him in this scenario but they really do not want to. The levers are part of a financial plan and they are projecting certain revenues within that plan and also reductions in operating costs. Selling FDJ would bring in a fee of 85M (revenue) and offload salary of 90M (operating costs) which is a pretty significant part of their plan that they could not easily replace. When you further consider that both of the above amounts are fixed it becomes more important, some of their other revenue projections link to performance such as reaching the latter stages of the CL this year, that is revenue they hope to receive but could miss out on if they flop in the group stages like they did last year.If the fourth lever lets them register most of the new signings and then some combination of selling Memphis or Auba plus Pique's wage reduction allows them to register the rest, why would anybody expect FDJ to leave afterwards?
