Maddogbob Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 12 minutes ago, Skyline said: Apparently they have yet to register Kounde, Lewandovski and Raphina. They can't register them until they lower their wage budget. By failing to do so, they can't play any of these players and may be forced to sell them... What a complete shambles. Imagine having that conversation with your new signing. "Cheers for joining lads, cant play you for a bit, but don't worry I'm sure you will get your wages." Having joined the club, you'd be furious, I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Alleged to have tried to bribe a UEFA official. Suppose the most surprising thing is a UEFA official turning down a bribe… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Frenkie De Jong now getting abused for not taking a pay cut. If I was him I would take the cut, which would put him back on his original contract from Ajax - far from a paupers deal. He really wants to play for Barcelona, and certainly doesn't want to go to the basket case that is Manchester United - even with his old boss there. So far Barca may have to register players on a rota basis. Raphina Christiansen Kessie Lewandowski Kounde They cannot register all five of them.

Read an article that Barca will threaten legal action as there's something in the new contract that contains "criminality". The whole situation is bonkers and Barca seem to just be getting away with it. I like Barca, or did anyway. They seemed to be the "proper" club. No sponsor Unicef sponsor for free Promoted youth. Signed and played youth etc etc But these past few years they have become a complete basket case. Could take a while to sort it all out too.

SiJ Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Does anyone believe the thing about criminality with respect to De Jong's contract renewal. Sounds like utter BS to me, tantamount to extortion on Barca's part. They're an absolute disgrace of a football club. And to think the President of La Liga was sat there a few months ago complaining about how PSG, CIty were ruining football and spending well beyond their means. Don't get me wrong, there is much to dislike about PSG, City etc., and what they've brought to the game, but I can't recall them behaving like this. The game at the very top is absolutely rotten to the core. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Says a lot about the incredible allure of Barca that big names still want to sign there when you can see how the club is treating some of its current playing staff. The level of comfort they have in seemingly disregarding contracts and weaponising their fan base against their own players is quite something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night King Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Yeah same here. I’d love him to carry on getting the wage that he is contractually obliged to receive. About time someone stood up to scummy Barca. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion they’re some sort of underdog, anti-Franco bastion of virtue. Which they may have vaguely been 70 years ago, but it’s massively romanticised, and in recent years they’ve benefited as much as Madrid from government support.

Kopparberg Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 “Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele have also been registered after signing new contracts earlier this summer.
