🤞🏾🤞🏾 Enter *Zubimendi* to arrive in Gundogan's place. Barça should also ask City to end *Couto* 's loan at BvB to include him in a swap deal for Gundogan. So they don't need to use Kounde at RB anymore. Then another swap deal between Barça & Sporting. Barça gets the perfect undisputed left footed ball playing starting LCB to compliment Araujo for years to come in *Inaçio* & Sporting gets the ST they want in Roque.
Good idea zubamendi this summer, next summer nico williams that should make more sense, But I dout our board are thinking in a sensible way😂😂 @@john-adriancoker2789
But this doesn't mean he will be our best player this season. People need to put things into perspective. Gündoğan is 33 years old, on 180k a week with 1 year left on his contract so us getting rid of him helps us a lot on the wage bill. Maybe Hansi Flick doesn't want the player because he doesn't fit into his plans and plus we have many players that plays in his position which leads me on to say to you that why do you think Hansi Flick wanted Dani Olmo?? I don't know how many times I will say this to people. People need to stop getting emotional about Gündoğan because it's really pissing me off.
@@henry_kojo Emotional? He was signed for a 2 year contract, Barcelona could have give him a 4 year contract if that was so important, right? And if it's not about being emotional, why don't we throw out Lewa today and his 33 millions per year? You know he is 36 years old and washed up, right? We sold Guiu for almost no money, we have Roque, now we have Pau Victor - why are we paying 33 millions for an old striker?
Imagine disrespecting a legend like Gundogan after he had his most prolific season without being injured like most of our midfielders. He is consistent and professional too and speaks his heart out which other players are scared to do.
This club can't even register players for matchdays and going to sign Rafael Leao who's worth 90M+.. no one knows what's happening at this club.. we're so screwed
Gundogan is bigger than barca for now. I say this as a barca fan. He comes from a much better team than us and our dressing room can't handle a big player mentality
Fr, lately barca just gives me depression. All the decision making is silly. We bring insane player and leader for free just to get rid of him. Gundo was playing his heart out for Barca. The fact that Pep doesnt hesitate for a second to get him back is also a strong statement. My beloved club is slowly becoming just one big circus.
We are laughable. We can't even register our players, barely seen this happen at any top club. We're an absolute mockery at the moment and there's no ray of light
Gundogan's words last season were 100% on merit, every single time. The fact that the dressing room fell out with him over that just tells you what kind of people we have in the club from top to bottom. Good for Gundo if he manages to leave with his dignity intact. Also, Barca fans, please dont get onboard on "Ferran is bad" train now if you denied for years that he is subpar and out of place at barca.
Victor Font was on point Barça is in a worse situation then before Laporta joined, he also said that we won’t be able to sign Nico! He was on point! And then Laporta gives us false hope by saying we can finally sign big players again, we can’t even register players who you trying to fool!
What are you even saying? Nico decided to stay in Bilbao out of loyalty, how is that Laporta's fault? And saying Barca is in a worse situation than when Laporta joined is delusional for a Barca fan to say.
@@footballhipstertv you think Barcelona will rush gavi pedri de jong to play games regularly after gettin the green light? Clown how many competitions are there?
@@footballhipstertvGavi is out with acl injury. Pedri just came back and is very injury prone. De jong we dont know when wil come back from injury. Getting rid of Gundogan is a disaster
@@footballhipstertv In 4-2-3-1 system that Flick is using Gundogan is the only real CAM that can play behind the striker, maybe Fermin to be able but I'm not sure, Frenkie and Gavi for sure not and Pedri is not the best there.
Leao's salary will probably be more than Gundogan lol. Its smoke and mirrors anyway. And keep in mind that City are happy to have Gundogan back, but apparently he's not good enough for Barça.
@@mrchijindu and I appreciate that, but it's not just about play time. Its about experience, leadership, character and mentality. And in that aspect, I think nobody would deny that our squad is sorely lacking those attributes (and leaders). Had we attempted to defer his wages and extended him for a further year or two, I think he would have accepted that. But I'm certain they didn't even try. Also remember, a fair amount of our key players are returning from serious injuries, and won't be able to play week in week out. That would not only leave us stretched thin, but also heaps too much pressure on the likes of Bernal and Casado.
Gundogan was trying to bring winning mentality back to the club , and we clearly don't want that to happen. Laporta might have done a good job but he just sells false hopes and he has done that since he has been here. And if Araujo cannot and club accept that we have made mistakes and we aren't the best at anything as of now then we are doomed. Because for change to come we have to accept the flaws.
I am glad you have spoke against Laporta and his current administration. I was saying long ago when xavi was sacked that this board is becoming a problem now the socios at barcelona should take against this management now. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
The unprofessionalism in the club is mind blowing. I think it's a miracle that Flick accepted the job. The club is doing the signings, whatever they think is good and the coach has to find an ideal solution for everything. It's a mess. No kidding.
Ohhh do i miss Alemany😭 Our only hope is that Flick can turn our team into a world class team that can fight for every single trophy! Lets hope the new UCL format will work in our favour too
If Laporta has said that we would be returning in camp neu by the end of the year, then no matter what we wouldn't be returning in the camp neu by the end of the year 🥱🥱🥱
To think we basically paid 60m to get rid of Gundogan and bring in a CAM we don't need and can't register. 40m for a striker we werent gonna use! That's almost 100m we could have saved. We could have gotten Kanté, Dybala, Coman, Rabiot, Guido (list goes on) for cheap or on loan. Then next summer we would def reach 1:1 and be financially ready to bring in Blaugrana level talent! When is the next election? Laporta and Deco out! I feel Xavi's pain and feel sorry for Flick!
As an experienced senior player I have no problem with addressing and talking to junior players but I did not like the way Gundogan did it in public. Gundogan for me is not the player that everyone is talking about, he constantly loses the ball in dangerous areas and would not put much effort to win the ball back, he’s pressing is bad and I believe Gavi and Fermin Lopez all can replace him
Thank you my friend people here are overreacting to everything. I respect Gundo's impact last season, but I think his departure would give Fermin more opportunities. He's 33 after all.
Thankyou my friend. Finally found someone with common sense. The whining about gundo leaving really irritates me. Last season gundo lost many balls in crucial areas which led to goals. He's aging and can't track back or press. I have no problem with him leaving
Exactly. Gundo can't criticize his bros publicly. He acted as if he's someone far away from the dressing room. That's back stabbing. If you want people to of respect you earn it. His intentions might have been pure but things went out of his hands and escalated quickly. To me we are not impacted by Gundogan leaving us. Flick never used him in his systems anywys. Fermin Gavi Pedri Olmo Frankie Casado Bernal lots of players already in that position.
So you apparently know more than city or pep cause they are happy to have him back but somehow idiots like you think he’s not someone we need. Absolute morons. This is the kind of low standard crap this club needs to reject.
The last report I heard was that the Nike deal wasnt comleted and the funds have not yet been allocated, so that's no fault of ours. Not to mention the 1:1 rule means exactly that. You need to sell someone to bring someone else in. That is why Gundo and Roque are being forced out. The major issue Barca has is the lack of ability of selling players for a good price. Once Gundo moves Olmo will be registered.
No no no my dear Culé, the main problem is Ferran. ter Stegen too. Raphinha as well. Yamal too. In fact, the problem is the whole squad. And Spotify. And maybe the board. They need to be sacked IMMEDIATELY, otherwise we can't compete with Madrid this season.
Barca is that toddler in a toy store - Can't leave without something, really wants everything. Doesn't have finances for any of it, and then if lucky enough to get something, rather play with the box than the product.
Xavi was sacked because he speaked honestly and situation with Gundogan is the same + Dani Olmo can.t even be registered if someone doesn't leave and they pretend that Leao is realistic target. Almost every single word from the mouth of Laporta turns out to be a lie.
Pericic is a good player. If we could get him for cheap pus coman or chiesa on loan we should go for it. I really Think pericic would surpice a whole lot of People
Gundogan has been disappointed by the players' attitude under Xavi. Now, he may just be further disappointed by the disorganisation under Laporta. I won't be shocked that Gundogan is regretting coming to such a shambolic club.
@@anthonykalulu5634I agree the Socios at Barca allowed for Bartameu to financially destroy Barca & now they are helpless to stop that big fat liar politician Laporta to get away with 4 years of mismanagement and more financial woes. Time for Socios & Laporta to go besides Barcelona is a global team now and must be in the same financial flexibility as Man City PSG or at least have a fútbol mafia don dictator type like Perez that can get away with anything in fútbol
as im listening im reading your comment. and you’re right. If the dressing room felt disconnected from that , then there’s no telling how long until we reach that mentality. Araujo was the first one to feel offended but instead of apologizing he kept standing by what he did. Those little or big mistakes comes down to mentality.
@@damianchamol5257 imo that mentality is implemted since the valverde days but i had the feeling that its slowly fading away and we create a winning mentality again. however it seems like we are still in an environment without competitive presure from within...
@@Zilrayits sad to see tbh.. Xavi demanded it from them but he was too close to the club to actually reprimand them in anyway. I hope Hansi Flick is different, we’ve already something of it with removing days off after winning, but he’ll have to be tougher.
I agree with the way Xavi was sacked. He said that we can’t compete with Real this season, basically conceding the La Liga title before the season even starts.
No it’s honesty. He said that they will try but that fans should be realistic. That’s common sense. If you think this team can somehow realistically compete in the long run with Madrid then you’re not serious.
@@edmund1737I think this team can compete with Real Madrid. Football is not just about stacking star players in all positions. It is also about having good tactics, and a winning mentality.
@@edmund1737yeah it’s true but that’s not the mentality to have lil bro think with your head. how do you expect to improve and compete if your just going to say to yourself “we’re not good enough”
What on earth is going on inside the Barça board … the decision being made are insane and making it hard to give Laporta and Deco the benefit of the doubt 🤦♂️
If any of the reasons we are selling Gundo is because of his words then we are absolutely not ready for success! What did he say that wasn't already obvious or true? This club is being run to the ground atp. Even if it's just because of the financial situation, it still reflects poor management from the board
Laporta and Deco out! Im speculating that Flick’s appointed was luck. I speculated that the board wanted Rafa Marquez to take over the club. But it’s likely that Marquez doesn’t want to do it either since he became the assistant coach for Mexico. Barca got Flick last min
You might be right, but for the records Rafa Marquez took the Mexico job after Flick appointment, also he was already about to sign another contract with Barca Athletic.
I'm sorry Jamie but you have to be very naive to think Xavi got fired just for saying Barca is broke. Xavi got fired because his vision for the team was ludicrous, he was basically demanding a new rebuild, wanting the likes of Kimmich etc hence why he lashed out saying the fans shouldn't expect much, the man was out of his depth. If Xavi was still here we'd be seeing the same old line up with Casado out on loan etc with no improvement to squad performance at all. Laporta was 100% right to sack Xavi and with Flick only having arrived you can already see his vision for the team is drastically better than Xavi's. Barca was going nowhere with Xavi
Xavi got sacked for the following reasons 1 he gerned and complained that barca where a re build still in progress this coming after the president and board spent millions on giving him raphina,kounde,lewandowski,ferran torres,orel romeo, 2 xavi used constant excuses like the referee,the weather,var, travel arrangements,the opposition being too physical,the pitch conditions in other words it was never his or players fault for bad results, 3 like you rightly state laporta and the board saw that xavi was far too inexperienced and basically out of his depth, 4 barca had no plan or vision xavi played the same players and team week in week out whether they played well or not in other words he had his favourites or shoe ins which is never a good thing imo,,5 xavi spent more time being sent off and sitting up in the stands than he did sitting in the barca dugout where he was supposed to be in other words he showed his inexperience and childish outbursts and set a bad president and example to not only the fans but the players and the club as a whole,the whole way laporta dealt with the xavi situation was both a disgrace and an embarrassment imo and doesn't look good for laporta and the barca board one bit tbh but i do agree with his decision to sack xavi and bring in flick because imo xavi should never have been allowed to manage fc barcelona in the 1st place.
@@andrewdrummond4339 Exactly! Even the Gundogan thing, it makes sense from a Barca point of view. In this new Flick system Gundogan is simply not a starter anymore (remember that under Flick's German team, Gundo was also not a starter) - he's not taking Marc Bernal & Casado's places which means he's competing with Pedri, Fermin, Olmo etc for a place in the starting lineup and these guys are in the long term plans of the club so they're not getting sold. Gundo is 33 and we've seen even during pre season that he's not effective in this new system and he found himself down in the packing order so Barca had to make a decision, and with huge wages, Barca are making the right decision here. Gundo himself wants to leave because he knows he'll be a bench player under Flick, unlike under Xavi's system which favoured the type of player he is
Are you blindly thinking that we can win the league with players like casado, bernal and pable Torre, yes they are talented but extremely inexperienced. Wait and see us go trophyless
If our dressing room isn't capable enough to take the words from Gundogan in the positive way and act upon that, then they really need to do more, learn more!
In the end it’s all about business I respect Gundo for agreeing to free the wage bill and help the club - already we have enough competition with Olmo and Fermin in that same position .. getting Leao now is not the best we. Can invest that amount for a low cost winger and left back to back up Balde
Leao is definitely not worth it for anything more than 60mil. He's got potential but watching him play he seems almost unserious at times. I feel he won't press well and won't have the mentality that the club needs at this current moment. Barca are much better off getting a temporary option and then reopening talks with Nico next season.
A good low cost option who will press well and is serious is chiesa in my opinion. He was a beast in euro 2020 and only had 1 bad injury so it doesn’t mean he’s necessarily injury prone.
Might as well work with what we got. What makes you think we can get a low cost LW and LB… if we can’t even register players. Whoever we bring in now will be under the spotlight all season. So I’d rather just not sign anyone. We should’ve got: Kimmich/Zubimendi Nico or Leao Right after the euros… But we got: Olmo Lenglet and Ferran.. still Our best 11 with what we got: Ter Stegen Balde Cubarsi Araujo Kounde Marc Bernal Frenkie Pedri Olmo Lewa Yamal
Xavi was wrong when he said we can’t compete with Madrid, we outplayed them both Classico’s but were unfortunate. We were having a nice champions league campaign until the disaster by Araujo. Injuries was our problem
I think the following three players should be sold: De Jong, Gundogan and Ferran Torres… the first two due to the large amount of midfielders we have and their wages… and Ferran needs no explaining… and then use the money to get a proper LW… and chill out in the market until we’re economically stable. We have la masia that can keep producing talents for us…
As much as I love that he is outspoken cos the teammates are just so relaxed. Gundo wouldn't do this in City is City is having a bad day. Like it or not, Pep would bench him for like a month for that.
It’s the 3rd season the board basically lies to the fans!! Everything is not fine at all and we know it !! As a Barça fan I came to appreciate Florentino Perez! Hats off
Sadly, the club won't sign him. Once he regains form soewhere else and has a fee at 70M, Baça will be interested. They never do smart business. Chiesa for 20M, especially considering the current situation, is a no brainer.
Its because Gundogan spoke up and saod it wasn't good enough vs PSG last season. Barca are used to blaming refs and anything other than themselves for performing disgraceful on and off the pitch.
everyone was thinking the same thing the only difference is gundogan had the balls to speak about it. Xavi didn’t even bench aruajo or anything the next game.
I really regret to say that we have missed an opportunity where a president like victor font would have come and stabilised our situation I was pretty impressed by his project planning Also Laporta won that election because of the nostalgia, and it's clearly evident because he has no plan and it is clearly seen If you need a stable project signings are a small part You need clear planning Eg arsenal who have done it pretty nicely over the last 4 years But if you ho through 3 mangers over the last 5 years what planning has been done by the club And we are a circus in the market Its disheartening to see this happen to this great club 💔💔💔💔
@thedigitalbash1506 it's not a war It's finance Using physical example in finances is hilarious and having a plan helps in organising a mess like our club It's better to come with a plan than to fight wildly 😂😂 That's why we have coaches who use tactics and not be a wild team
When it comes to Gundogan, its not about that the player cant speak publicly, he is literally constantly complaining to rival team players about Barca (he did it recently with Arda Guler (to our fiercest rival), and its hurting this team in a long run, because it ruins the image of the club, there are some players who are interested in joining Barca, but they will lose interest after speaking with Gundogan. He also threw his teammates under the bus many times, but never includes himself in failure, when he makes mistakes no one blames him and he is never critical to himself, but as soon as someone else makes mistake, he is first to judge. TBH its best, mainly for club and for himself that he leaves, it is not working out, so why force it?
Shambolically kicking your best players (including Messi) does hurt the image of the club?? Pointing out the truth and calling out persons who fail to claim responsibility equals throwing the team under the bus?? You’re indeed like Laporta and Deco. A big part of our crisis
@@Mensah_abrampah First of all Messi was not kicked out, it was impossible to register his salary due to La Liga`s FFP, he was kicked out by La Liga and Tebas not Barca. Gundogan is not talking bad about the board, but about his teammates, while in fact he is the first one who doesnt try hard enough, he lost many balls in dangerous areas, for which he never fought to win them back, but he just lets it go and rely on teammates to recover them. He never takes responsibility for his actions, and its always someone else`s fault when they ask him. Actually, fans like you are the problem, making a star`s out of players who do very little, and you give them high praise, Whoever doesn't like the club that much to try their hardest on pitch, or only play for money or is having second thoughts about this club, then they should leave. There are plenty of players who literally risk it all for this team on pitch and risk it all to just join, we need players like that, not complainers who never take responsibility and constantly bring down moral and team chemistry.
@@JustFun598 “making a star out of players who do very little” yet you go ahead to support a player who caused our exit and fails to acknowledge his mistakes and rather seek for arguably the best Barca player last season to be kicked out like a fowl. Remember Araujo is still injured till next year. Make it make sense
Im loosing brain cells why is it so hard to put business men negotiators people who know money finance in place of deco Gundu is bigger than us right now he deserves better But as of football we cant compete our squad is lacking sooo much in 4-5 main positions so we should be true with ourselves we cant win the champions league la liga alone might be an impossible challenge but as always visca barca
unfortunately with the way our club is being run and with the board running it its could be a long while before we can be the prestigious club that we know we are. love you jaime and no matter what we will stand with barca but man it’s difficult to do so…🔵🔴
I once said we might end up not signing anyone this summer, Dani Olmo is a good signing but a panic one, Olmo is not even registered, Please Jamie can you do a video of reasons why we can’t register players and others can, like Real Madrid. Please do video on that because I don’t get it
What Gundo said shouldn’t have been said in public. He should not have thrown his teammates and the club under the bus. You say those things to the other players in the changing room. Not to the press.
Yes Gundo was our most consistent player last season. But what we need to see is the overload of player in that area. And his age+ his salary. Huge respect for Gundogan for trying to help the club
Gundogan dared to speak the truth. I admire him for that and his mentality. He was our most consistent and durable perfumer last season. Xavi also spoke the truth in that press conference. However, I suspect that he told Laporta something different in their meeting to stay as the coach. I think Laporta is feeding the fans some ridiculous transfer rumors in order to keep them on his side.
Gundogan case is a disaster from any point of view. Now Laporta is in a very weak situation, if things don’t go very well, I foresee a rebellion from the fans which will end badly for the current board.
If they did it to Messi, who else can't they do it to? I'm afraid Laporter’s administration might be worse than that of Bartomeo. With all the risk taken in pulling economic levers, we are yet to see positive significant impact.
At this point Leao I'll never believe anything they say. I'll just focus on the football and leave the liars be. Sorry Gündogan you deserve better and I hope he goes back to Man City, it would hurt to see him go to Saudi.
Thanks Jaime! Its refreshing hearing you balance things out. The positivity could came across a bit as naive in the past.. haha NOT ANYMORE! TIME and time again, we show that we are a failing business that NEEDS TO PROVE to the public otherwise. I assure you: Until a year or two after moving into the new stadium, Barca will struggle to do any meaningful business in the transfer market. Meanwhile, we're not helping ourselves by lying about it. WE ARE BROKE!
