🎙️ Rodri on joining Barça:
🗣️: “I always wanted Barça, this is where I wanted to be. There are the best players in the world here, and you have to always be at the required level.
“This team has huge room for improvement, and we’ll work on that.”
Kaveh Solhekol on Donny van de Beek's move to Man Utd in Sep 2020.
"They're getting an £80m player for half the price. This guy is the real deal. Real Madrid wanted him. At Old Trafford he is going to become one of the best players in the world."
It’s much simpler than that.
This is not about “football bringing us together.”
It is not about “winning together tastes better.”
It is not about “division making us all weaker.”
It is not about any of those empty words, slogans and catchphrases.
It is not even about giving substance to our own — now equally hollow — motto, “More than a Club,” nor about how Barça fans may feel one way or another.
It is simply about avoiding a moment of tension by cancelling an event that would undoubtedly have been deeply unsatisfactory for some and entirely unnecessary for others. There is no need to hold it, and there is absolutely nothing to be gained from doing so.
It really is that simple. From there, of course, everyone is free to pile as many political or moral layers onto the decision as they like. But the event simply will not take place because, once again, the utterly savage behaviour of the Spanish police has put the whole thing under an enormous spotlight.
Not to forget: Without the beating of that kid, the event would have gone ahead, flying under the radar and in a comfortable, low-profile manner. Some people would have felt satisfied and proud, others — myself included — would have felt uncomfortable, and then everyone would have moved on, as we all always do.
In fact, the political message (if any, and if we're playing that game) is "stop beating our kids and us catalans we'll be perfectly comfortable", which is indeed a quite sad position, to be honest.
Lo siento Marc, pero sabes desde que acabó la temporada pasada que Hansi Flick no cuenta contigo y tienes que buscarte un nuevo equipo.
Has tenido tiempo de sobras para no estar viviendo esta situación.
Así de claro.
Les arbitres ne fourniront PAS d'interviews avant et après le match pour expliquer leurs décisions lors des diffusions depuis le Santiago Bernabéu cette saison. Le stade du Real Madrid est le SEUL stade de La Liga sur 20 à être exclu du nouveau protocole de transparence, en raison des restrictions du club sur les connexions des diffuseurs. Dans tous les autres lieux, les arbitres s'exprimeront avant et après le match. @sport
The fact that Barcelona can buy any players Barca wants is now a problem.
Many don't like it in Spain. This includes clubs, presidents and news media.
Very many don't like it in England. It is unbelievable and unthinkable for them. They want a Barcelona that is debt ridden.
You all lie.
Barca made your childhood miserable, hear ye, your misery is just beginning.
Barca will compete and get those players Barca wants and needs.
From Madrid to United, From Germany to France, hid your players, the King lives again!
80M€ de vente cet été mais le plus important reste les économies de salaire effectuées sur des départs (Robert Lewandowski, Araujo, Ansu…).
Tu ajoutes les ventes potentielles attendues d’Hector Fort, Casado… tu peux arriver à 110-120M€ (selon les prix et % vendus)
