but they need to be careful anyway 

Yeah they should but Barcelona has not exactly been a masterclass in prudential entrepreneurship since they hit the crackpipe with all these 100m+ moves for ok-ish players in the late 2010s. They are hunting those glory days of the past by throwing money at the problem.

But doesn't this mean they are fucked in the future?

Yes they reduce the cashflow they will receive in the future due to having forfeited a fraction of their TV money to investors.

It just a loan and, like any loan, it's all down to weather or not the repayments can be afforded. Given previous experience running the club there should be done very sophisticated financial nous in their team. They should have this under control.

If you want us to go after the top talent instead of the Lenglet's, Ake's, Lukaku's and Richarlison's of this world then unfortunently you need to prepare yourself for this happening more often than not.

The cold heart reality is we're not as attractive as Barca, Real, Bayern etc to play for for anyone outside of Cobham, and even then we're still vulnerable as we found out with Musiala and the Hudson Odoi saga.

There's many things we can be criticised for in recent years but things like a Brazillian player preferring Barca or a Dutch player preferring Bayern will happen even if we had the best board and set of negotiators on the planet.

Tuchel does not have the same pull as Klopp, Pep, even Lampard.

lmao so bayern finneshed the job in 2 days while i takes at least 3 weeks for us to get a deal with an average player, let alone a big name...

Boehly will want the consortium's first dividends to be nicely profitable. Got to see a return on the investment. - . Later on, the board mantra will be 'if we want the same big dividends we will have to invest'. Then we will see some transfer action -until then basically fuck all will happen in terms of spending, it's PR spin.

This with Bayern and De  Ligt seems to me like some kind of game with the agents   🤔

English-based reporters still saying race is open. Bayern don't want a bidding war but are instead working on getting De Ligt to reject Chelsea.

Now I'm worry. Even clubs like West Ham are closing out deal and we once again dragging into doing transfer. 

Not looking good, I hope we don't panic buy as usual and get people like Drinkwater and what not.
