These Catalans are quite the bunch.
How can you treat players with such contempt and disregard? Hope serious players and agents are watching how they treat people

They will register the players....
Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

I don't know when, but they will. Already Pique and Busi have accepted further salary cuts and a 4th lever has been activated.
And there are departures still pending...

Re: FC Barcelona: Football thread
Big internet rumors saying a transfer agreement for B Silva to move to Barcelona has been agreed.
Surely this can’t be true right?
UEFA needs to step in and investigate this club …

However, Barcelona are still to satisfy La Liga and are now working on activating what is being referred to as a fourth 'financial lever', a significant stake in their Barca Studios commercial arm, in order to comply.
In addition, long-serving defender Gerard Pique has taken a pay cut.
La Liga believe these changes will allow Barcelona to start registering new players, although there is a feeling at the league this may be done on an individual basis rather than all at once.

lost the plot, an utter waste of money for a club with serious financial problems.
The mid-field is the least area that needs re-inforcing with Pedri, Gavi, Busquets, Franck Kessie,
Frenkie De Jong, Miralem Pjanic, Sergi Roberto. Bernado Silva won't add much to the team than
what Frenkie De Jong does
Is Bernado Silva better than Frenkie de jong that they are trying to ship out?
I doubt it because there is always this tendency to hype players playing in the EPL as best in
the World when they are really not.

If the EPL had a hard salary cap like La Liga, a club like Chelsea would be in trouble if Abramovich had asked for his money back...
These EPL fans and pundits I am starting to think are jealous of Barca...
They will register those players; a similar thing played out last season...

Re: FC Barcelona: Football thread
ESPN Kessie and Christensen could leave Barca for free if they aren't registered by sunday
https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer- ... ed-in-time
Barcelona signings Christensen, Kessie could leave club on free transfers if not registered in time
Sources have told ESPN that if they are not registered before Barca's opening fixture against Rayo, both players could choose to execute a clause that allows them to leave for free.
Fellow summer arrivals Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Jules Kounde are also yet to be inscribed with LaLiga, while the contract renewals signed by Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele have not been registered either.
ESPN understands Christensen and Kessie's situations are slightly different, though, given they joined Barca for free. Therefore, if they so choose, they would be entitled to leave for free before the transfer window closes.
Sources say at this stage there is no indication it will come to that and president Joan Laporta continues to transmit optimism that all seven players will be registered in time, but Barca are cutting it fine before the start of the season.
In the worst case scenario, sources told ESPN Barcelona would seek to speak with the players' agents to avoid such an extreme outcome because they have until the end of the month to register signings.
Barca have spent over €150 million this summer and have raised over €600m by selling 25% of their domestic television rights for 25 years and a 24.5% stake in Barca Studios.
A league source has told ESPN that is still not enough incoming cash for Barca to be able to register all of their signings and contract renewals, although some could be registered now. This would depend on the cost and combination of the deals.
Therefore, Barca are looking to sell a further 24.5% stake in Barca Studios and continue to negotiate wage adjustments with other players, including Sergio Busquets and Gerard Pique.
It was Pique's wage cut last summer which allowed Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia to be registered on the eve of last season, while similar actions from Busquets and Alba permitted Sergio Aguero to be signed up with the league before the transfer window closed.
Barca's LaLiga-imposed spending cap was -€144m at the end of last season, the only negative limit in the league, and will have to be increased substantially to register all their summer activity.
The Catalan club hope that the sale of club assets, coupled with a sponsorship deal signed with Spotify earlier this year, will eventually increase their cap to allow them to register everyone.
