Skewed due to having the GOAT & best striker in world football, still no galactico policy. Players who are attracted to Barcelona come here and even take less money as we saw with both Neymar & Alexis Sanchez.

That same Neymar deal which involved giving 40m Euros the player's parents? Yeah I can see why he came on a reduced salary. Also Luis Suarez isn't the best striker in the world anymore.
 
Bull.crap. You got neymar by offering him more through his dad. But even if that was true, you still offered them huge money. And the wage bill isn't particularly inflated by Messi. Take out his wages, and you're paying as much to the first team as us.

Barcelona historically spent loads of money on great players. The Messi-Xavi-Iniesta really was the only great generation that came through the academy. At every other point, your great teams were built on obscene amounts of money spent on transfers, on top of the huge wages. And your wage bill has been massive for decades now

Huge money but less than 120 million from RM, the actual offer from them is right here:

Always spent less than RM, that's some simple math. As I said, look at Alexis Sanchez - he was offered more money to go elsewhere and took less to come to Barcelona
 
:lol:

Weird including that since nobody except those involved probably doesn't know how much money Neymar got from that deal. Probably the most shady deal in history, and if I've read things correctly, has come back to hurt Barcelona because of taxes from the sale to PSG.

Shady, absolutely - you sink to the depths that clubs like RM do to get a signing and you're bound to get dirty. If you thought that deal 4 years ago was shady, you'll be amazed at the deal with the Qataris he just made

Are you in the know or just speculating?

No you didn't. You always spent about the same on wages, and in the 70s-80s-90s WAY more on transfer fees as well
 
Going against what everyone else probably will say, but I'd happily have Mbappe at that price.

He will go on to be the next Brazilian Ronaldo. In 5 years time that price will be looked at like how Pogbas is now.
I doubt it. While goals aren't everything, Ronaldo had managed to score 54 goals in 57 PSV games including sub appearances. Mbappe is not that level of talent. Though injuries permitting he might have a longer career at the top.
 
If I were him, I'd hold out for Madrid.

Monaco won the league last season ffs. Why would you jump to the rivals? If it's purely for money then that's a terrible career decision.
 
Educated guess knowing all those involved, Qataris & Neymar Jr/Sr - of course, ignorance is bliss they say

How does it work with Barca fans in general? Do they send you some drugs and a needle when you decide to become one of them so you can lose yourself completely?

Paris is his home, where he has family and friends and PSG is his boyhood club.

Also part of the Real locker room seem hostile to him coming for big money and playing instead of the local lads, as seen from Sergio Ramos interviews.

after 6 months of showing good form and being hyped to the heavens you would wait for RM rather than cash in? at that price even he has to admit to himself that he's probably a huge risk and might not see that kind of money if he plays another season at monaco

The irony....

Didn't Perez fund the entire Galactico's era with money you didn't have, only to be aided in your repayments by the surprising enthusiasm of local Government/Council to prematurely overpay for your training ground, while you were still allowed to use it? Only asking. :angel:

I would imagine it's quite hard for Barca (and others) to compete on a level playing field, when your biggest rival clearly and publicly has the King's favor? What type of country has a King that so openly and unashamedly favors one club and one city over the rest? At least in England, our Government confines it's obvious bias to London, the city, and doesn't get involved with unfair and biased associations with one football club.

It's like Flies finding shit. Barca fans and their conspiracy theories :lol:

Somehow blaming Madrid for their dodgy Neymar deal :lol:

Fascinating info on that, thanks for that. Wish more of these would leak out.

No, can't be bothered, i'll let @carvajal @Vato or @Redondo_Pirri answer this post if they want

I'll just point out that it's got nothing to do with the argument at hand. It's the "yeah but that guy did it too!" defence
 
Yes, that's hard to argue with. Which doesn't change my point

Your point seems to be changing. I was pointing out that Barcelona doesn't have to pay more than others to attract players, many dream to play for the club and will take less to do so. Alexis Sanchez & Neymar are two prime examples

My apologies. I thought dubious financial packages were at the core of the argument at hand. But, fair enough, i'm not really that interested myself tbh. I just found it bizarre that a Madrid fan could call out others for their questionable transfer policies, while seemingly oblivious to his own club's practices.

No, barcelona didn't have to pay more than others to land neymar or alexis. Case in point, how are asensio, dani ceballos, theo hernandez and thiago silva doing for you?

Yet barely any of your current players actually earn less than he would elsewhere.

Man i wasn't talking about questionable transfer policies, i was rebuffing the assertion that barcelona don't pay huge money for their players

Theo was not a target. T.Silva took A LOT more money to go & stay at QSG, no one is going to pay those wages. Ceballos was never going to be signed for 18 million, that's just RM throwing more money at a player. Asensio who actually preferred Barcelona was yet another example of the idiocy of the board - haggling on the payments of the fee Mallorca set.

We both know you have several Barcelona fans as RM players in your squad whereas there are no RM fans within our squad

Thus proving the fact that barcelona DO have to pay big money to sign players
 
Great move for the lad going to psg. Great city, great players, good money, great coaches and will always challenge for big trophies. Neymar made a perfect move now mbappe should do the same.

How exactly is that proof, Modric was rejected and wanted to come. Asensio wanted to come and the board wouldn't pay the same fee as RM ultimately did

By that logic Neymar is fan of PSG, good to know.
 
The Neymars, Jr & Sr, are fans of money...hence QSG

So when a player joins Barcelona it's not for money even though everything shows that you pay obscene amounts of money to players and their entourage but when they join other clubs it's because they like money?

Normally you'd need a comparator, Neymar took less to come to Barcleona. Did he take less to go to QSG? You have some flaws in your logic
 
The guy threw a strop, where he was the guilty party and stood still on the pitch where the team was training and wouldn't budge, forcing the team to move to a different pitch to train.

18, there are reasons to feel aggrieved. This type of behaviour does not fly.

Are any of youngsters not spoiled these days? Dembele is also acting like a complete child at Dortmund, and those are two of the best future prospects France have here. Too much money in football and it's way too easy for 18-20 year olds to get a massive contract these days.

Yeah, but they don't stand on the pitch and disrupt the entire team's prep. That's unheard of.

I have to look at it from a United perspective. If he did this at Carrington, he'd be killed, no matter the talent.

Yep, he dreamt so hard of your club that he instantly bounced when seeing that big paycheck.

Well in Dembele's case they don't even train with the team. Has Coutinho returned either?
