Pizy 18,985 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Feels like De Ligt is the one target that we need to be quickest about. As in before we give City a bunch of money or United miss out on that dude from Ajax and turn their attention to De Ligt. He may not be the best player we sign this summer but he is probably the most important if we pull it off. Could anchor our defensive unit for a decade. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,156 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 46 minutes ago, Blues Forever said: Barca literally an example of a team who just splashes money with no forward thinking. Like a kid who wants all his toys now. They want Raphinha, Dembele (to sign on), want Lewandowski. In January they signed Aubameyang, who whilst taking a pay cut, is still on huge wages. Signed Torres in January for what £55m? Signed Depay last summer who had a mixed season but defo will improve you imagine. Signed Traore on loan with view to permanent transfer but seems they won't pursue that. So you sign Lewandowski and then do what with Aubameyang? Keep him on bench or shift him out LW like he was doing at Arsenal? Then what about Ansu Fati who signed a big contract too? Them doing this while they have been racked up in debts? Also, yes they got this massive cash injection but just seems ridiculous wages and money they keep spending out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said yesterday, I bet you anything that within the couple of years they’re going to be in deep shit once again. But next time instead of being forced to let go of Messi they’ll have to sell off they’re prized jewel youngsters. They’re one of, if not the worst transfer market club in the world. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the waythey handled that cash injection was just plain stupid. They sell off a fraction of their TV rights, which means less cashflow in the future. Then instead of investing in theclubs infrastrcuture and future, they spend it on player around or after their peak years to replace of which they already got a ton blocking their youngsters , as you said, who will now run down their contracts. All ofr a bit of short term success which is far from guaranteed given there are still huge holes in their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid will own LaLiga for the foreseeable future with the side they’ve assembled. Barca won’t touch them next season even with Lewa up top. And their defense and midfield are far too weak to do serious damage in the CL. They’re basically just doing all of this to appease their supporters with shiny toys.

Barca were the better side after Xavi took over and for all of Ancelotti's strengths dominating a league isn't one of them (he's never retained a title and only managed 1 with that great Milan side in 8 years).

It just goes to show how corrupt football is. I dare to think how much debt they're in, but they manage to get a few new shiny toys each summer. Making a mockery of whatever FFP is supposed to do.

I'm sure if anyone with power thoroughly investigated them, they'd face a similar fate to Juve back in the 00's or worse. RM have an ageing squad, so they will have to strike gold where a number of positions are concerned to prevent regression.

Maybe when it's 5 years, but this is two decades worth of sample size in multiple different leagues. If you think anything can happen does that mean you wouldn't rule out, for example, Lukaku suddenly developing a Drogba esque mentality where he starts delivering in big games and Cup finals? Sometimes a manager or player is exactly what it says on the tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
