My guy Kubo
š
He knows whoās next up
š
Nah different situations
Barcelona fucked up and they violated some under-18 transfer policy
Then he had to go back to Japan
Then Barcelona tried to sign him again but they flopped
And the Kingās of the world signed him.
Nobody:
B/R Football:

Bruh
Wow that's crazy!
Vigo winning pog
Well, this is an odd lineup
Visca mallorca
And Zidane with his 1000th new lineup
I feel like we could get easily exposed on a counter with no Kroos and Casemiro
Rescued 5 points in PL thanks to Cadiz
But I assume Mendy will stay back more often
And Vigo won les go
Celtaaaa!!!
Celta to beat Barcelona on Saturday!
nO
Watching Madrid
Ditched LFC despite it being HT
This doesn't feel like a Madrid home game at all without the bernabeu
Lol Mallorca took a shot
C'mon Mallorca
Mallorca putting pressure early.
A moment of silence for our fallen soldiers
F
Boo

Cooling break
@light void Yeah
Wow wow, relax.. I did not want to do this
Lol
Hahaha
Booooorrrriiiiing
Yeah, last 20 minutes quite boring.
+3
Oof
Weeee
Madrid are kinda struggling with mallorca so I hope Getafe can pull it off
Do Getafe have Kubo though?
Itāll be either a draw or win
And as always, weāll play a new lineup
Second half!
Ramos what a legend.
Arthur gave up and agreed to negotiate with Juventus... that shit
"gave up"
"bartomeu hired a whole village to convince him to leave"
or maybe it was just CR and MDL : >
anyway, didn't see anything new in that sector
Barca getting rid of arthur
https://media.tenor.com/images/2787aa841c08a878f6587f3fafc2d33e/tenor.gif
Great optimism filters out from Turin. Juventus and Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle. We only expect Arthur's yes to the new Juventus proposal that will be formulated shortly. We are at the finish line.
[@LucaFiorino24]
but i dunno how reliable Fiorino is

Holy shit did Bale actually start on earlier's game
And Ramos scored again
And i slept through it

Good lord that freekick was beautiful.
Also vini could have assisted Bale easily but goddamn he didnt even bother
Sergio Ramos?
Yeah
He should take more of those
Well Kroos was benched so
Yeah ig
Rm won 2 - 0 right
Their on track to win the league
Mallorca had great shots but missed a few
Also since when did Zidane use a 4231 formation
Usually goes 433 but seems like it works as well
Yeah Iāve never seen him playe 4231
He should start benz, bale, hazard and vini more together
Yeah
They were hella aggressive
Seems like a good front row
Tbf Hazard didn't do too much
I don't think he did anything except create one chance
[š] Arthur has understood that he will no longer be Barcelona player next year. All day long, his agent stayed in touch with Paratici - Now It is just a question of 'a million more, a million less.' Within 48 hours, the deal should be unlocked. @DiMarzio #FCBLive āļøšØš§š·š¤
110
fucks sake
Arthur eft?
Fuck
*left
Rip
So ig now pjanic is going to barca
Honestly should have stayed with Arthur Imo
Pjanic is what 30?
Barcelona is Aging no offence but they need more young players
imo

Iām stupid ok I donāt keep up with la Liga
that image is quite old
O
Man fuck this board
idk how someone can be so stupid tbh
30 year old for a 24 year old
who actually has a future
Balance the books to save their own asses > longevity of the football club as we know it
exactly
Yeah
the board has no planning whatsoever
Arthur has time to improve why you gotta make him leave : (
5 year contract too
So he's not getting out anytime soon
Pjanic will prob retire at barca @feral palm
pjanic?
Oh I think most of this squad will
What is with Barcelona and treating Brazilians like utter shit
@raven sun take him instead
0 iq play from the barca board
Malcom was forced out too
malcom was treated so badly
I stg if they get rid of Lenglet
Iāll be done for if they get rid of him
just mats

Bruh Iām just kidding
In b4 Trincao gets sold in January
oh please
Puig sent on loan to Real Valladolid
I'll just hope todibo doesn't leave
Todibo sent wherever
No man we've gotta balance the books :D
Bc we've been put in debt
they just want money off good young players just to correct their own mistakes
imo they should keep the younger players
ofc
Daylight robbery from Juventus
That's everyone's opinion
smh
I'm just baffled
This board got the most amount of money seen in world football for selling neymar
Yet we're still in sm debt we need to sell everyone under 26
Barcelona becoming a feeder team
That's everyone's opinion
@feral palm except the barca boardās
Absolute clowns... They've turning the entire fanbase against them
Ik
Donāt they listen to fans at least
You know what at this stage I would have been fine if Arthur went for a loan
Like that seems fair
Now
Anyways imma shower brb
@light void Lol, not happening š
we just have to wait until the next presidential elections which is next year
bartomeu seriously ruined barcelona
So does that mean Arthur won't be finishing the season with us
i doubt he'll move right now
or pjanic
money will swap hands probably now
for the financial year thing
So we'll have until our UCL run ends
quite likely, yeah
How do u feel about the deal I bet you're buzzin
i haven't seen arthur play a whole lot, but he definitely seems very promising
anything would help our midfield right now
Why who's your problem
I've heard that Pjanic is a scapegoat
For khedira and matuidi
he can definitely play better than he did for juve the last year
he plays with very, very mediocre midfielders around him
khedira is finished, matuidi has zero technique, ramsey is injured 90% of the time, rabiot is throwing hissy fits left and right
bentancur is the only solid mid this season, but he's also very young and needs some development first
so yeah, arthur can definitely do well for us i imagine
Itāll happen
I don't see why Juve waiting for an answer doesn't mean it's not happening
Arthur would be stupid to refuse
He's getting much more money in a better contract, one team wants him, the other wants him to leave
This is just to balance the books at two shady clubs.
: ( I preferred adii not ady but Arthur has like been given the boot ig like what would he want to do now barca was his dream club but
I do, however, love how a month ago or so you Barca fans laughed at the deal and kept sending the tweet where he said "Italian league slow" etc, now you're all confident he's joining
Ady's back!
Arthur goes one way for 80 mil, Pjanic goes the other way for 70 mil.
Both clubs balance their books.
Stonks am I right
Reports that #FCBarcelona are selling 23-year-old Brazilian midfielder Arthur to #Juventus for ā¬80m, while 30-year-old Bosnian playmaker Miralem Pjanic will move the other way for ā¬70m, have left supporters of both clubs somewhat perplexed.
520
1659
This thread explains it well.
I know the deal is to balance some books, that bit is clear
but if you think juve and Barca are the shady clubs while Madrid are saints
then I have news for you
hahahh
Weāve never done anything questionable FFP wise.
It's interesting and makes sense but it completely breaks the mantra of the club
Mes Que Un Club my ass
It's a revolving door of money laundering
Weāre not a shady club by any means.
I see no problem with that deal btw
The only two controversies I can think about that happened recently are the selling of our old training ground, and us (alongside Barca and a few other clubs) having to repay the government.
FFP laws exist, clubs will always try to circumvent them
I know, but it just seems rigged.
if it follows the rules, that's on UEFA to come up with something
Something similar happened last summer when Valencia and Barcelona basically swapped keepers
ā¬30m both ways
Yeah again, nothing inherently wrong with trying to get around the FFP rules, but idk.
I view this as smart business, if Real was doing that, you'd think it's fine
as long as player's values are extremely inflated, 80 and 70m aren't thaaaat much, it's fine
I guess
But we wouldnāt do it because, A) weāre not struggling to balance the books and B) itās not a smart plan anyway.
Sure youāll be financially good this year, but itās still a bad transfer. Whichāll directly correlate with bad performances.
why is this a bad transfer for Juve?
(On Barcelonaās end)
Iām fine with it, because Iād rather play against Pjanic than Arthur.
With De jong, Busquets and Vidal/Rakitic isnt Pjanic going to be benched?
The first two arent going to be benched for Pjanic for sure.
Don't think Pjanic would be benched for Rakitic or Vidal, I won't lie though, I don't watch that much barca
I think Pjanic gets less credit than he deserves, yes he has been horrible recently (so has the entire team) but he was really good 2 seasons ago, he just can't play properly in our system anymore
That being said, I'm not sure how he would fit Barca either
"2 seasons ago" 
Well much has happened since
Manager change, midfield change
I think there's a lot more to him than people care to give him credit
Doesn't mean the deal is not stupid on Barca's end though
Mostly because of the age and wages of the two players
but well, if that's how they'll balance the books then the deal may make sense short term
Istg if pjanic's wages are high af
At barca
Don't think Pjanic is taking a huge paycut
Possibly but I doubt it
Pjanic is rakitic but worse
@light void No
re: Pjanic gets way too little credit
Again, he's been shit along with the entire midfield (minus a few players)
but that's not his level
Vidal is for sure Barcelonaās best midfielder for now, with Busquets coming second.
Don't think Pjanic would be benched for Rakitic or Vidal, I won't lie though, I don't watch that much barca
@raven sun Vidal is pretty staple though. He's like the most aggresive mid they got right now. He's like Real's equivalent of Casemiro.
Iād say more of a Valverde
They paid so much for De Jong you think he's gonna get benched for Pjanic?
I don't think the same 3 midfielders get to play every game
how was it with Arthur?
it doesn't have to be X or Y
I dont know honestly i dont see him start much
They can share play time
who are barca's 3 lineup mids right now?
dont tell me its rakitic-busi-vidal
FDJ-busi-rakitic/vidal i guess?
i can definitely see pjanic getting game time ahead of rakitic/vidal then
depending on the situation
vidal if you need muscle/tackling
not saying they don't
it just doesn't seem like that happens in general
and yeah, hard to see Arthur turning juve down with over double his barca salary
Apparently the board has told Setien theyād like to see Fati and Puig get more time
he'd also slot into our starting lineup i imagine
sarri will jorginho the hell out of him
@icy crypt if so, thats the first thing they are doing correctly so far :P
at this point id probably start fati ahead of griezmann and/or suarez :x
maybe not against UCL teams or RM/atleti etc
but the rest of la liga? damn straight
not in this sytem
Grizi is having tough time
He just doesn't fit in current play style of BarƧa
It's too static
If only Setien started playing furious football, he would be a perfect fit at CF or flanks
His runs are timed very well
He's never picked up by his teammates
CF is usually occupied by leo tho
Yeah
that's the problem
True
Exactly
I cba, I hope someone like victor font gets the president role next elections
Trincao is more of a rw
Victor Font
and I hope he gets some mins
exactly
Our players have become too predictable


I mean Fabrizio didn't confirm anything
Where are you from mate?
Oh cool
How can the board be so stupid
e
When the player himself loves BarƧa colors
Fabrizio giving hope 
frustrating
Because they need money
š©
Cause they spend too much on griezmann lol
What if they didn't sign Griezmann, Coutinho, and Dembele so we wouldn't be literally broke
But Arthur shouldn't have been an option for Financial crisis
I mean, we could've trusted our youth and play Carles perez, no need of dembele in the first place
not that dembele is bad
but what, 105m?
nah
ok I'm making too many typos 

DembƩlƩ could have been sold and there would not have been a void.. given Perez played for us
He was here for so long
Perez
And they let him go
we shouldn't have bought dembele
If we believed in our youth
but it's the other way around under lord Barto
another masterclass
wish he pushed so much for a rakitic deal

smh
Hello like my name ^
He has done wonders for this club
I have joined the bandwagon
230k a week, he's what 31?
He was the key
because of him, players like Puig aren't getting chances
Puig was class, last game
He deserves to be on starting line up consistently or sub someone for Puig early after first half
He brings different dimension to the game
Its not hard tbh, sell raki, play alena, Puig, Arthur
Yeah
I mean thats not a midfield btw
Alena on loan or we sold him?
What about Pedri and Trincao?
How long?
oh jeez my internet hates me
end of the season
Pedri joining us on 20th July
Youāre prioritising short term success, so youāll never utilise your youth.
Trincão on 1st July
Hello draco 
hallo
@icy crypt no we're not prioritising success at all
lmao i saw rhat gerrad one, is it about Arthur's dog? @feral palm
Well yeah lol
@icy crypt exactly what's wrong tbh
Yeah @icy crypt
If we weren't prioritizing short-term "success", then why would we be giving away Arthur for Pjanic?
long-term doesn't exist for Bartomeu. He's going to be gone pretty soon and he's just covering his own ass so he doesn't end up in prison. No deals are any good. They're just a band aid solution on a limb that needs to be amputated
Pjanic is a mistake
^
Board should be knowing but everyone seems to miss it
Pedri is 17, I think, he's more of number 10/lw, trincao is more of a rw
and trincao 19
I don't necessarily disagree with Pjanic coming to Barcelona I just don't want Arthur to go the other way
Pedri's assist š„
moriba 16, if we look, we do have good youngsters
Pedri assist was actually pretty good
It was unpredictable
Youāre selling Arthur to balance the books, which helps you out short term.
We can still treat him well
Arthur is in demand
And then sell him
that's the thing
Bartomeu makes mistakes, then sells good young players because they are in demand
Once he's past 32, it's gone
Eh
You wouldn't even get 20m for rakitic
Yeah but you wouldnāt be able to get a similar āswapā deal with Rakitic.
Why the fuck did we buy Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann
The whole point of this deal is to net a profit
why 
ight we can make a deal for pjanic we give you 30m pounds and Guendouzi how bout that gunedouzi is young mind you
@lime mica short term success
yeah and short term bankruptcy
well not really
Anyways
What success
Lamo
Success was the aim
Amidst all these, title race is going to be hard for us this time
mhm
We're not winning the league
ofc
Samper, Alena, Abel, Perez, Wague, Malcom, Grimaldo, Junior, Semedo, Todibo, Thiago, Eric Garcia, Sergio Gomez, Take Kubo, Jordi Mboula, Dembele, Arthur
Bartomeu is just adding another ruined career to his list
That much is pretty clear
Yeah man
No no no
We can
you can't say that now @lime mica
Sergi Samper š
Rafinha, Denis Suarez too
Aye and Denis
Denis Suarez... The gem
Paco Alcacer
kp 
Kp?
Literally 90%+ signings of the recent years have been discarded bc of Bartomeu
more like disasterclass
The only thing I was happy with Bartomeu for was his work in getting FDJ
he somehow convinced frenkie
Yeah man
Lenglet was a decent signing, too
so good
FDJ
Not anymore, he must've known from the get go what his plan was
De Jong was destined to go to Barcelona
And then our medical team messing things up now
Not hard Frenkie has been a Barcelona fan since he was a toddler
Omg the medical team
Frenkie always wanted to come though
Screw rm
We're one of the elite clubs and yet sich mistakes
So it wasn't like Bartomeu worked a miracle
@grave glen don't disrespect pique lmao
The entire defence is doing well
5 clean sheets in a row
Pique has been way better
young prospect pique, ofc
Noo
cant do that
š
K who do you think are getting relegated my three are
- Espyanol
- Eibar
- Celta Vigo
How bout you guys
Vigo š
I think Pique does more
He's not been better than lenglet
Love him
I think Celta's getting relegated, since they've still got us and Atletico left
He's just been better than before break
I didnāt say Lenglet is shit btw
Pique is amazing as well
@low forge same
Just think Pique carries more, I always notice Pique more I guess.
He's been doing things for so long
Pique is so underappreciated and Barca fans will miss him when he's gone
I think Leganes/Mallorca might go down, too
Eyyy someone agrees 
Especially aerially.
Espanyol, Celta, Leganes/Mallorca
Yeah that was a mess up@grave glen
But all in all he's been playing better than he was earlier in the season
Same with rakitic
Pique goes static sometimes..
And Jordi Alba and Semedo
Age you think?
Would you start Semedo or Sergi
@lime mica I'm not convinced with Semedo yet
depends on what I want tbh @lime mica
That was out of the world
Semedo is speed and nothing else imo
more defense, semedo
better attack, sergi
Agreed
Sergi better overall imo
@solemn breach indeed
Riqui got MOTM, right? Or was that fake news š
Yeah he did
Aye
His movements OMG
Was it just me or did Mallorca play rlly well last night
They did
Hey, maybe if you play someone for 30 minutes and they get MOTM, maybe you should consider playing him more often!
I admire Setien but his mentality is kind of similar to Ernie's, we went from, "if the opponent is capable of scoring 4 goals against us, we are capable of scoring 6 against them" to,"we knew beforehand that it would be difficult to win all the games left, practically impossible"
They were robbed tbh
I agree
I feel like mentality is the biggest problem with this team
Real are a good team and I'm not in the mood to argue about var but I think Mallorca were the better team
we need that Puyol in the dressing room
They just pressed sm
With the talent in the lineup, we shouldn't be consistently losing games or dropping all those points
we lost in the first half vs pool ngl
Vidal and Braithwaite have the best mentalities in the squad
indeed
I just don't see the fire that we saw under Pep and Enrique
There's no doubt that the finish from Vinicious was masterclass
It's just pass pass pass
But they were fouled at attack
And hence the counter attack was possible for Madrid
But no point arguing that
we are not able to turn possession into goals or chances
š
This picture
that facepalm


hurts
@grave glen ironically that picture is bc of a pass that Arthur made
It's more for the players to prove now
Sarabia can help with mentality but he probably has no power in the dressing room
@feral palm ah, yes 
Yeah he is silenced
Me watching Barcelona selling Arthur be like
If we sell Arthur, who's our replacement, who's our Xavi
Puig is an Iniesta imo
Before the restart, I donāt think Barcelona played particularly well overall, but you were just very good at capitalising your chances.
Agreed
hypothetically, getting Xavi as a coach can be a disaster or the best thing ever
Whereas I think we played better overall, but couldnāt score for shit.
Bartomeu would probably try to play Pjanic in random positions š
Absolutely infuriates me that we might lose the league because of an Aduriz 89th minute bicycle kick
Imagine Pijanic at flanks
I would talk here but I know absolutely nothing about this league 

@feral palm Puig plays more of a xavi-esque role tho
But watching him the other day
@solemn breach oh please
It reminded me of Iniesta
yeah I mean, he's definitely the future
For sure
Ight so what this bout lads still on Arthur
also I'm about to send something pretty um, good I suppose but I gotta find it so brb
He's shown why he deserves his spot in the first team literally every chance he's been given
Especially that Bilbao game
š„“
Is this about Puig?
š
Ernie masterclass

Dub Valverde
š
Apparently the deal is finalised btw š
Rare dub for Valverde
Valverde dub
Arthur hasn't agreed
Romero is reporting it
Oh, hell
fucks sake

He's gonna leave
He's gonna leave and so is Semedo this summer
Tbh I donāt rly know much of whatās happening just blending in 
nah I think with this deal Barto may have balanced the books
He's linked with Everton, isn't he?
why can't they just wait till the season ends omd
ugh
I'd understand Arthur leaving if we lose the league
But if we end up somehow winning the league or ucl
I donāt think thatāll be the deciding factor
They need to do the deal before 30th of June
Why
ugh
Everyone on FT is tagging his wife to try get her to recognize how much we want him lol
I think it's related to the whole market strategy thing you showed, not sure how exactly but I assume it's the start of a new year since one of them was bought
Ah ok
Ight so who you think is promoted lads? I think itās
- Cadiz
- Huesca.
- Real Zarazoga
so hbu whatās your thoughts
@feral palm his wife? That's probably his mother
FFP will probably be a bit relaxed though because of COVID
Oh maybe
Cadiz and Zaragoza def
Yeah his mom lmao
i follow her mother on twitter because of what she commentate d on one of md's post 
Rian
I assumed
That mixup
That's me

Lmfao ik

smh
smh
Lmao
ffs

Who's leaving real this summer
Probably James
so now when you make a documentary ppl will leave ight time to make one on David luiz
well good for you, rm doesn't have bartomeu
Maybe Mariano
so no masterclasses for rm
Bartomeu to Madrid plz š
bale is a troll nowadays 
Yeah
Bale š
30 years is our squad average so technically, pjanic is young
That's embarrassing
ofc it is

29, no?
I just want a youthful coach who plays youthful players
No Alba Messi or Suarez replacement š
you try replacing messi 
Honestly I'm fine to go thru maybe two years of limbo after Messi leaves so that we can restructure but we can not turn into Man United or AC Milan
Yeah, but you donāt even have a player to play RW
Trincao
@feral palm that's going to be hard to find because everyone now expects trophies/titles so believing in young players will probably not be a first choice of any coach
Oh
Train cow
@grave glen yeah you're right but there'll come a time where we might have like 4 players retiring at the end of a season and that's wayy too much
So there's gonna be no option but to play youth
Or impulse buy
Trincao
I hope our next president doesn't throw us in debt early
r a m i n
And then need to sell off everyone so he doesn't get sued
I really hope the next president is victor font
I hope itās Bartomeu
I mean at least his focus is on the youth
aye
ok kevin
I hope Font gets it too
I think he said that barcelona needs a manager with experience so I think he doesn't really like Setien
Pep Return
Setien has a clause in his contract about the presidential elections, right?
@raven sun go away
It's Victor font
but he also has some "partnership" with Xavi, who isn't experienced alot either so 
Ffs hahahaha
btw Pedro is joining roma
Yea I heard
I saw Romanoās Tweet
this is old but I hope she replies on one of the tweets again 


Yeah same haha
Given that I have a bit of time and have got myself up caught up a bit, I'm going to try and explain the deal with Barca's current financial difficulties. Which is less a problem for the club itself and more of a personal problem for the members of the board.
great thread
it's making sense now
bartomeu masterclass, cba
Bartomeu so good he brought in an extra 10m
ikr
smh
I don't think Arthur is that good so I feel indifferent
If pjanic wasn't in the deal it would've been so much easier to accomplish that
which source?@feral palm
@grave glen
oh dani
oh no
Pray for a hijack
oh no
Oh no pls donāt
Absolutely disgusting excuse for a board
pathetic
I saw one of the passes in the replies that pass was good ngl
Barcelona just deleted a tweet
Well
@HagridFCB @romeoagresti @GoalItalia @HagridFCB he already said arthur signed with juventus few minutes back in YouTube but he doesn't want to tweet until he gets full confirmation about it because few years back juve nearly signed draxler and witsel where romeo tweeted done ...
okay so another hope
No no no
Wish that was the boardroom
š
oh god I'm not gonna check #cruyff-stand for some time now 
You can tell it's a joke
lmao
Yeah
š
elit skills
ok so let's talk about this bartomeu masterclass
up by 60m now
better than the Arsenal board
Hooraayyyy...
Watch their going to swap deal lenglet for Luiz
Itās going to happen
Luiz is 33
So
Pjanic

Only reason
@grave glen can't wait to spend that $60m on some 32 year old Center back this summer
āWelcome to Barcelona David Luiz compilationsā
we got like 3m if we consider the future
robbery
Juve robbed us
@low forge Arthur is leaving 99% ngl
Next thing you know Juventus sued for daylight robbery
@low forge Arthur is leaving 99% ngl
@grave glen yeah ik imma change my name
cba
ffs
Yeah I cba rip Arthur it was his dream club
Well
cba anymore
[š] AGREEMENT CLOSED between Arthur and Juventus! @santiovalle #FCBLive šØāļøā š§š·

Aye done @light void
L for all of us
Rip
Fml to beat mafia when
Fml in second place

Bartomeu do be like that
I hope Arthur turns out to be the next Thiago for us, he was kind of forced out and then he became very crucial for Bayern
and now he wants to leave
ffs
the board forced alves out too and ever since then, we have never had a proper right wing back, forced Sergi to play rb and now hes helping players who are forced to leave, leave barcelona, my goat :sleepy_mara:

so when are we selling fdj and mats to buy another washed up 30 yo
can't sell griezmann because he's our one and only lwb
@woven ridge 
@lime mica lol what happened 
You love to see it
And the transfer window hasn't even opened
Gonna be a summer of this guys

Winning UCL with players that don't actually play for us
Lol
