My predicted XI for Barca: Mats Kounde Araujo Eric Alba Bernardo Busquets Pedri Dembele Lewy Raphinha GK - Inaki CB - Pique, Christensen DM - Kessie, Pjanic M - FDJ, Gavi LB - Alonso RB - Roberto F - Ansu, Ferran, Aubameyang Collado & Nico will have to go out on loan Memphis & Dest to be...

Madness, absolutely madness but as I have said previously Gerard Romero rumoured this months ago. Plus Bernardo was linked last season to Barca too but the financial mess upon Laporta's arrival was too much of a mess (Vs the mess now) to even conceive of a possible move

Doom I tell ya, doooom :D

Wasn’t their incompetence/malfeasance- I am certain both Piqué & Busquets will accept dramatically less wages #MesQueUnClub

OM seems an odd destination considering how rabid the fans are about players leaving everything on the pitch. How did Alexis end up playing, at both ends of the pitch, last season with Inter?

Some players struggle to make the step up and to be fair Mahrez struggled for awhile too

Gross likely MOTM but Welbeck equally deserving IMO. Very impressive from Brighton ManYoo, a lot of work to build a team that EtH envisions. Will the Yanks be patient enough to give him sufficient time? Unlikely

He's had a monster match so far, should've had a penalty too

ManYoo :ROFLMAO:

Wages are not synonymous with expenditures for new players to reinforce the squad - this is about FFP in the Primera Liga, not money hidden behind the cushion in the sofa

That's the thing, they are Catalan kids who grew up at the club & are members of a club owned by its members. Its success is in their interests unlike foreign kids

Depends. Is it your company too? Does its survival have importance to you? Is much of your success down to said company? Would you then not reduce your exorbitant wages to help said company? If I were Pique & Busquets, then yes - and that is exactly what has been reported to have occurred...

Very nice equalizer, Salah to Darwin

Some good run of play in the Fulham-Liverpool match finally. Despite taking the lead neither side have been able to put together successive passes for very long. But things are heating up, could've easily been 2-0

Accepting a contract offer from cantera players that know it is excessive by just about any metric, if Barto tried to weasel out of it then yes it would be hypocritical. How is it weaseling for Laporta to do it when he would've never agreed to those terms - hopefully him & Alemany give a stern...

Exactly - Busi & Pique will take a pay cut and as you rightly point out, they do it for the love of the club and recognizing what it has already given them And I agree, that ideally shouldn't ask your cantera players but similarly they should've never been on those wages to begin with. This...

I like Marc a lot and would've loved him back but he's overpriced there - question of supply, demand and Chelsea needing to overpay

Incomparable IMHO. Laporta is a politician/lawyer more than a business man - he is first & foremost a club member, he is blaugrana through & through and it's success is dear to his heart. That is undeniable. Not a lot of owners (Bear in mind, he is the leader/President and not the owner but...
