Off Topic Barcelona Wages

How can they buy a player for 80m when they can't even register the ones they've already 'bought'?

 

Surely at some point Barcas rivals will escalate this to a higher authority?

 

Its ****ed up.

 

God ?

 

Where is my benny hill music.

Scum. Let them burn.

I'd make a cheeky offer of taking Kessie and Christensen on loan to help them out while Barca sort themselves out.

 

I don’t know if loaning players will count as a player of your books
Also come to think of it they aren’t actually their players at all as not registered so they would be free agents
To be honest don’t want to help them out
It’s a shambles of their own making

 

I’d be all up for “helping” by stealing their free signings and taking others cut price.

I think it’s ****ing embarrassing, mainly for UEFA, fifa and la liga.

 

Barca aren’t even trying to hide their corruption now

 

Is that since Trev took over?

 

SShhhhh

 

Interesting that Christensen is now showing a chelsea shirt on his Twitter.

 

So are all those players going to be registered today?

 

If they are then it’s a disgrace because where have they found £85m. They where banking on De Jong going for 65m and the balance was him forfeiting his £17m back pay.

They have threatened legal action against him when it’s them that have done the shady ****.

They have proper screwed him over.

Branthwaite the same.

 

So they've sold just under 1/4 stake in Barca Studios to raise the 85m required to finalise deals and register their new players.

Is Barca Studios really worth that much (over 340m), or just more dodgy dealing?

 

Like everything it's worth whatever someone will pay for it. There fore the answer is yes to both your questions.
