By the end of tomorrow if one person tweets something we don’t like. Regardless of their tier.
They are financial geniuses with all these levers. 4D chess.
Yeah, they are negotiating a sale of 49,9% of BLM (Barc licensing and merchandising) for around ~€300-400 million I believe.More levers
Will be activated sometime in July I think.
Reading the Barca forum the seem to think the claim about him being on €50 million (€25 Million net) gross this upcoming season to be true.
Crazy that. No wonder they're desperate to offload him to us and we're getting such a 'good' deal.

That is just ridiculous. Bartomeu must be a die hard Real Madrid fan
I get it (although , not the finer details so thanks), the phrase is just amusing.
I suspect that's more to do with deferred wages, which nobody was ever really gonna get back anyway.
Well he did pay Messi an almost incomprehensible amount and they had to stump up the cash at the time to sign De Jong as he was going to PSG.
It really boggles the mind what were Bartomeu and his guys up to?
Sure, we've given stupid contracts to Dea Gea and Martial but this is just on a whole new level.
More to do with them trying to match PSG who he would have signed for. They have also given insane wages to Griezmann, Messi, Suarez etc
Economics goes out the window when you tie your job position to nothing but whom you sign (and Messi). I remember all those Barca interview where election candidates claimed they would get X player if they won. I always found that crazy.
Based on his talent. Nothing based on last season is relevant for any of our players really. Look beyond that, and you see a 22 year old who has done things before 20 that only Mbappe has matched in the past 30 years.
Though even if you look at last season where he still showed his talent in spurts, you can see stuff like this where it shows his value anyway:
Quite surprised by RLC there.
Man Utd only have prestige and social media to offer right now. Frenkie can build his brand. Pogba never put in a world class performance and he is still a talking point to this day. It may not work but at the very least he will earn a crap-load of money and be heralded as the saviour.
Thats insane and sounds like a really bad deal.
I thought the idea was to book this sale into the last financial year so as to enable them to have more flexibility in the following years wage structure?
People just get on the internet and lie for no reason. You could have made your point without sounding unhinged.
Trying to figure out what Bartomeu did for a living. Must have owned a candy store or something.
They probably tried but as I said above his wages are a massive problem for them as well as getting €65 Million euros back is a big plus for them short term. Will allow them to register new players quicker as the second 'lever' won't be finalized yet.
Sancho seems a brilliant fit for ETH too. The guy knows less than us.
Today is the day pulling the dong for de Jong

Think it will be after the weekend
Frenkie De Jong of course followed in the footsteps of the legendary Alex Song Billong by playing in midfield for Barcelona. One could only imagine how potent a Song Billong De Jong partnership would have been had they played together.
Forgetting of course the months of football in Ole's caretaker reign where he almost single handedly carried the team and got him the job full time, wasn't it like 8 goals and 9 assists in 11 games? That's part of the reason my friend group was so negative with Ole from the start, Pogba next to Matic and Herrera was brilliant yet he shifted him back to a 2 behind Lingard at CAM.
Im eagerly awaiting for the day I can finally pull MY lever out.
This sudden silence is intresting.
Levers FC
Més que un lever
Big day?
Small day
What a strange saga this is. Brief moments of "95% ready", "Clubs have agreed on a fee" ect ect, then nothing for long periods. Absolute silence.
This one is in the bag.
Just like most transfers we got done.
Maybe i'm just forgetting them, but cant remember its ever been this quiet after its beeing "done"
me and my 12 inch schlong beg to differ.
Bécause when it’s accepted consensus that the deal is done, journos won’t keep coming out with ‘breaking news’ every other hour to keep you hooked
