ESPN needs to worry about their own finances when it comes to providing their employees a working microphone that doesnt sound like my xbox 360 controller mic in 2007
Nico Williams proved he is better than Mbappe at the Euros Barca is definitely going to sign him because he wants to be in his best friends Yamal's team.
As a Juve fan, Barcelona need to get Williams. The chemistry Yamal and Williams have is outstanding and they'd make Barca a real force going forward. I don't care how they do it, Barca needs to get this done.
Well said! I’m Barca fan - and fully agree proper wingers that’s what we were missing - apart from proper coach of course! I want to see RM how they will compete with Mbappe now.
@@whitecrowuk575 think we will be fine tbh and I'm not saying this just because I'm a Real Madrid fan I don't see how any club realistically are going to compete with Real Madrid even if Barcelona get Nico Williams it's going to be hard for them to compete against a team with that kind of roll call who are all 25 and under this is why I said starting this year I see a three peat for Real Madrid
@@Model_Roe I don’t expect RM to drop a ball - but more if Kylian will be net positive that everyone expects him to be. He was used as forward more but I think he’s a killer winger
For ESPN Barcelona could do nothing right, no good games , no winning , no signings, nothing what a bunch of clowns , if they were true journalists, they would've known that Barcelona was on Nico since last year ,and for the finances , they barely spent anything last year and are in a great postion this year , add to that the fact that in their worst years Barcelona still is easily top 1/2 best shirts solds , attendance, revenues in general and also I didn't see ESPN talking about the fact the Neigera case was horshit and were cleared of those ridiculous charges and is a closed case now , it's really puzzling why they hate Barça so much .
Nico Williams isn't just linked to Barça. He's our top priority..He wants Barça and he's agreed to a 5 year deal..All that's left for Barça to do is to close in on the 1:1 rule with the new Nike Deal, Barça studio and Barça vision Mikel Merino is also another linked player, then Olmo adds up too
You see how all the cry babies in here are triggered ? THEY ARE SCARED OF BARCELONA RISING TO WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE. Cause thia means their team will be in trouble ..watch all the hate cause barca want to sign a player . They dont behave so for any other team and everyone is signing players
i think the misconception everyone has with barca's finances is that barca doesn't have the money to sign anyone. they do. the biggest problem with barca is la liga's ffp, and barca is not the only club struggling with it, although they are the most extreme case. out of the 20 la liga teams, 19 teams are forced to sell or limit their squad with real Madrid being the only club allowed to essentially freely sign and register their players. of course there is no direct favoritism towards real Madrid from la liga but the truth of the matter is that the new regulated imposed on la liga clubs heavily restricted every club that wasn't real madrid. regarding barca though, barca's income drastically declined during covid and they had it the worst compared to any other club in la liga. as a result of covid and barca's sudden drop in revenue, la liga decided to impose sanctions and limitations towards their clubs to prevent a meltdown like barca from happening again, while every other league in Europe actually loosened ffp as a way of understanding the heavy impact covid had on every club. so not only was barca now in turmoil due to covid, they also had the league multiplying that effect even further. everyone knows about the levers barca pulled to sign players a few years ago. those levers weren't actually mainly used to sign players. they were used to register players for la liga. the main impact those levers had was to artificially increase barca's income for ffp (think city, Chelsea, newcastle, etc but nowhere near as bad because they're using their own assets) so that barca's wage cap can return to a more normal figure.
finally a none brain dead person. barca had highest profit of any club in the world last year. by a lot. 10x more than the second team. 190m profit. barca has no issues with money. we have issues with ffp due to over spending on salaries breaking the rules to many times and now to get back to the right place needed to lower our wages significantly and bring in money at same time. we are so close to 1:1 and then we can sign and pay for who ever we want.
@@JoseIgancioMadrazo-el9qr thats the facts if you want to believe it or not doesnt matter but don't be surprised when barca will be able to make regular signings soon
Sam Marsden is based in Barcelona and knows more about the happenings around the club. But he is not a ideal speaker, he speaks too fast wihtout putting pause or emphasis in certain areas. Mic quality here did not help either.
Joan Laporta said "we can afford Nico Williams' signing" "It hasn't gone too well in some parts" - What ESPN actually wants to say "We do not like it! We don't want Barcelona to sign players"
They always hate to see barca get or go after players 😂 you let it had been Madrid they would've be dancing lifting their skirts singing and praising 😂
The media makes it seem like Barcelona are completely broke when they aren’t. The club has always had money. For crying out loud Barcelona is one of the biggest clubs in world football. They were just extremely limited in terms of how they were allowed to spend that money because of how La Liga has their FFP rules set up. Other clubs in the league are restricted too but no one talks about that… I wonder why.
Olmo has been so injury prone throughout his career, last season he missed 29 games. We don’t need more players who will constantly be injured. On top of that, he’s not a starter here at Barca. Pedri, Gundo and Fermin would all play over him. Why waste around 60mil on a player that had the same amount of goals as Ferran in a worse league 🤦♂️
@@Rafael-xt1nm only thing Olmo has is his goal scoring capabilities, Pedri makes the game flow way better, if you watch Barca and the Euros you would clearly see that. Fermin could score just as good as Olmo. And Gundo was our most creative midfielder having 9 assists in the league last season. That’s the most he’s had in a season throughout his whole career btw. Meanwhile Dani Olmo only had 4 goals and 5 assists in the BUNDESLIGA 😭. If you had watched Olmo before the Euros, which clearly you haven’t, you’d know he would be a waste of money and wouldn’t start over any of the midfielders I mentioned. He had a good run in the Euros, but we’d instantly look to offload him in a couple of years just how we are looking to do so with Raphinha and Ferran.
@@yo_seb5195nah mate olmo is better than current pedri in everything. Pedri's positional play in the euros was excellent, picking the ball in good areas but he was losing the ball quite easily really
@@yo_seb5195you’re 100% right. It’s crazy to see Barcelona fans so caught up in the moment, when just a few months ago, most Barca fans were against getting Olmo, with some even comparing him to Ferran
we need nico and merino. thats it. all we need. olmo is a luxury signing we have players that can do his job. but if we can somehow make a good sale get olmo too. but merino and nico should be first. otherwise we are like madrid. all attack no defence no midfield
Barcelona with Olmo and Nico I think they can put their level up. Why they dont go for Laporte too? I mean, Araujo didnt do well last 1-2 month and now he is injured again
Why the heavens would we go for Laporte? We have the ever brilliant Christensen, Cubarsi, Kounde, Martinez, Faye and de Jong. Also is Laporte not a 30 year old who plays for some team in Saudi Arabia? It would make 0 sense to sign him. I'd rather go for de Ligt, Todibo, Demiral.
@@insideinside9450 after signing Nico and a DM, Barcelona won't have enough funds or wage space for other star signings. That atomically puts guys like Todibo and De Ligt out of the question. Additionally, Kounde is weak at CB and there's currently no backup RB in Barcelona, Faye has no la liga experience, Martinez I hear is on the way out, De Jong is now injury prone although id like to see him turn things around. Im not saying laporte is necessarily a bad signing im just disagreeing that Barca have this incredible depth of CBs like you mention. Realistically it's Araujo (injury prone), Cubarsi, and Christensen. Everyone talking about signing Olmo when in reality Barca still need to bolster the defense in a few areas.
@@lancerebo952 @lancerebo952 1. Please read my comments carefully before criticizing it. I said in no way shape or form that we should sign anyone of those names i mentioned. I basically just listed better options that Laporte. 2. Barca has incredible depth at cb. Kounde has had good games and poor games at barca in that role but there are many times in the 2022-2023, 2023-2024 where Kounde has been a great filler foreither Christensen or Araujo when out. Whether or not Iniago is up for sale it does not really matter considering that there is not much interest and Araujo is injured so it is getting likely that he will stay at barca. Frenkie will be back by October and i won't address your point regarding Faye. Have a great day and go now to sleep. You'll need to be off to work soon my friend.
Spain is a rising force in football again it was clearly seen in euros and the euros best xi. Williams and olmo would be great for us. Have to get a CDM too.
This guys are talking like they don’t know what’s going on with Barcelona… they can afford to buy NICO right now… but the problem is they need to comply with the Financial Fair Play rules. That’s the only reason why you hear they need to generate new income by player sale to be able to sign now players… that 1 vs 1 ratio
Rumours are they wanna sign Dani Olmo aswell and met with his agent aswell. Only way this deal to happen with Williams one is to sell some players, maybe ferran torress or vitor roque
Typical misinformed idiot I'd expect on ESPN. The club for the most part always had money. It's literally one of the top 3 clubs when it comes to generating money. The problem was always and will always be LL and their dumb FFP rules.
@@archipiratta wat man city ( club with no history Manchester is red) Man united( washed club when last did they win the league) Chelsea( not even top 4) Liverpool( rich history respectable club but not richer then barca) Arsenal( they really trying but not richer then barca) Other teams irrelevant
You’re an idiot if you think Barcelona has no money to spend. The club was never broke! Do your research before making ignorant comments like this. La Liga’s FFP rules and sanctions restricted what they could spend their money on.
They disrelish the club becuz they spanked English teams in their prime..They hate it when they see Barça potentially rising but they jump, flick their skirts and dance and sing for Madrid 😂
Nico W - 9 (Roque maybe) - Yamal Olmo Pedri. Gavi Sell: lewy, de jong if the pay is very good to look for dm or cb And work with the youngsters cubarsi, faye, lopez...
Nico to Barca would mean a doing away of Barca's possession based approach to Flick's high voltage, quick transitions Futbol. Xavi tried to change it and was fired.If Flick goes to his 4-2-3-1 where would Pedri & Gavi play? This doesn't make sense at all. Dani Olmo is a Spanish player with a German sensibility of high pressing, hard running, athletic futbol which Barca are allergic to.
Pedri can play in a 4-2-1-3/4-2-3-1. Gavi can also play as a CAM. Personally i have got no issue with where who ever is gonna play. It shall fall in naturally.
Pedri would fit perfectly next to a defensive midfielder, but also further up as a 10. Same with Gavi. I think the odd one out would be Frenkie de Jong, which pains me to say, as I’ve always been against letting him go
I haven't heard anyone say that this year Athletic is playing UEFA Europa League and the final is in San Mames. It's an attractive season to stay at Athletic for the players and the fans. He should go to Barcelona next year and finish in good terms with Athletic
Idk why Barca are trying to signing Olmo. They don't need him. They need to try to get Williams if they are financially able to. If they cannot afford Williams, then so be it, but they don't need Olmo.
Obviously nobody follows Barca and their finances and the whole story that's developing. Nico wants Barca. Anyone who is on top of the story knows this for months already.
How many levers do they still have to pull? Let’s face it they aren’t beating a Madrid team that now has Mbappe in now for the title. If I were them I would just focus on rebuilding.
everyone should use same microphone, headphones and Light!!! for travelling or work from home, not hard to do, I have a travel setup makes all the difference U cheap ESPN
Barca again chasing the shinny object and getting into further financial troubles. Why were they not interested in Nico or Olmo previously and bought players that are not even starters now? Also, just because they had good Euros with that particular mix of players, doesn’t mean it’ll work at Barca. They already have players with similar profile. Barca just don’t have the long-term vision and patience to develop their players and squad. It’s a bit like an immature, young kid in a candy store. You can’t expect him/her to make good decisions.
I just don’t understand how a big sports channel doesn’t manage to produce a decent sound on their videos. It’s just a regular amateur s… show, production wise. Too bad
A Spaniard with speed is always scary. I think he is ready for the step up and barca need to get back to buying the best Spanish players in the league.
Caution on the players part does not exist here. Nico and Yamal are a thing🎉. Caution is on the club side. Why start paying the guy earlier than you have to?
Won’t be surprised if Barca sign NW. They make more emotional and momentary decisions, than smart ones. Huge debts, vitor last season, unregistered players, loans etc… Laporta is a 🤡
Where did Barca go wrong??From the best team and most admired team when iniesta generation team and Tiki Taka rolled the world....How come they dont have money to buy players
as a real madrid fan, barca REALLY REALLY REALLY need nico. otherwise its gonna be trophyless season and out at ucl group stage once again and losing to 15 ucl madrid as usual. but i speculate that barcelona will spend all their remaining money on this kid.
@@stefanstefanescu3202 bro city fans are more arrogant than everybody. they won 1 champions league and call themselves champions of the world barce fans are literally sending money to help brokelona sign nico
Yeah. Barca about to offer them a massage coupon and 3 bags of chips. What money do they have? Lol. They can’t even pay the wages and now they’re gonna buy Williams? Yeah cool. Register your players first then buy the superstar
You want the cub to sell Raphinha, and then when 17 year old yamal suffers a burn out towards the end of the season, you'll start blaming the club for over playing him 🤡🤡🤡
We can afford Nico. We can't afford Nico and Olmo. Plus we don't need Olmo, did Laporta forget what platform he was running on for president? Cause he's doing the very thing he accused Bartomeu of doing. We need a CDM not a luxury player like Olmo.
@tariqomer4678 Nico makes things happen. When have you ever seen Mbappe? For psg it was Neymar.. what did u see Mbappe do it when Neymar left.. never.. France same..
