I know they’ve paid out really high wages but the Barca thing still baffles me. You go to a game and you see how much they much generate in merchandising. There are hr long at the club shop, the stadium tour is always packed, it’s just crazy. The merchandising thing makes me think I can't remember who described all these £100m players they've got cant even sell a sock, it's all messi Said it in the chuk thread about moriba wanting over £150k a week, not because he's Billy big bollocks or anything, he won't get that at leipzig, but because that was the going rate for the squad players at barca and he wanted to match it How do they get themselves in to that kind of mess? How are they signing kids from ajax who can only be on £30-50k a week and giving them £350k a week? Its Peter Ridsdale school of negotiation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be screwing them for every penny if i were De Jong as they’ve taken the piss. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, though I think "screwing" gives an unfairly negative connotation that I don't think you meant. He wants the money he's owed, it's Barcelona with the dirty tricks trying to fleece him. I'd stay unless another club was matching my wages or Barcelona were making up the shortfall, and alongside that, I'd be suing them for my missed wages, and not being so much as a second late for training every day. I'd get my money and not give them the slimmest of excuses to break the contract. They're a disgusting farce of a club. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funniest thing is their fans on the forums who are all super pissed that the players refuse to take a 50% pay cut on the contracts they signed only a year ago. Greedy players who expect the club to honor their contracts instead of just forfeiting millions of € so that the club can sign new players they have no intention of paying for. de Jong, Braithwait, Dembele, Depay, Umtiti, Sergio Roberto and their agents all getting torn apart for being greedy for just wanting what the club has already agreed to pay them. Their fan base is the worst in the world, even ahead of Liverpools. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being pressured into taking a pay cut just so they can give your wages to some other player / club / agent is a joke and the club should be reprimanded for suggesting such a thing. FDJ should be demanding his wages are paid up in full plus anything in his contract about being sold (often players get a slice of the transfer if they have not requested the transfer). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 La Liga needs a strong Barcelona, especially with no Messi, Ronaldo or M'bappé. The leagues market value is tanking and Tebas knows this better than anyone. Nothing will happen to Barca, they are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Liga is the reason they need to get rid of players, they are the only body that is actually taking action against them by not letting them register players for breaking the rules. Without these rules they would have about 50 players and be in bigger debt UEFA really should be denying them a licence and banning them from Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDJ doesnt seem determined to mood and Dutch players are usually stubborn as it is, I can see him not backing down unless a compromise is made. Maybe United will pay less for him and give him the money from what was owed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still won't punish them thou, just like with the Super League fiasco. Push comes to shove they'll make some sort of exception so that Barca can stay competitative. No way will La Liga stand in the way of them bringing say Lewandowski to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m certain a deal will be struck where he doesn’t lose out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I’ve gone for “haha” rather than sad because that second penalty and the reaction is incredible. But yeah, I imagine African football is pretty rift for corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Yeah why didn't he put 3ft wide of the goal or smash it over the bar? It's so brazen it's funny Saw one in the Canadian league at the weekend where in a penalty box scramble an attacking player cleared it off the line rather than tap it in, that's a weird one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
