These the same guys that said Mbappe joining Madrid means Barcelona won’t win a thing for 10 years right?

These people just expect Barcelona to never spend any money for the rest of eternity even though Barcelona is top 3 in revenue every year.

Honestly I can see the pain in their eyes. They can't believe Alvarez only wants Barça. They're trying ways to stop Alvarez deal 😂😂😂😂

These guys are honestly so cringe , we are FC Barcelona . Players will come here because of our history and prestige. Players dream of coming here not Arsenal or psg despite their rise. Also we make loads of money why are they acting surprised ? They just salty because they have to eat the words they’ve spit on us for the past few years.

Yall thought we were broke? we were never broke we were just operating under the 1:3-1:4 rule we could only spend 60% of our revenue. Now that we balanced the books the wage bill, etc we back in 1:1 so we can spend, however much we want. Tebas took the leash off and now we can do real business. Barcelona top 3 richest team in the world for a reason.—it’s yall that push this broke rhetoric yall gotta stop — if you don’t know why we went for Gordon then just stop commenting.

They still don't understand the revenue of Barca 😂 Add another €1 billion in projected revenue when Camp Nou is fully redeveloped.

Ale pipe down 😂 It's confirmed Barca have more than enough money to make even more top signings 😂 Pipe down and stop acting like you know anything about our finances. Gordon was addressed becuz we all know players price tages inflate after International tournaments. He's got the qualities we need as well.. We'll be going for more signings after Gordon and Alvarez so anyone who's got a problem with that can continue crying in fear. Barca with money is the most dangerous club in the world. Hide your players 😂

Barca were never broke, FC Barcelona's 2026 valuation is $6.65 billion, making them the second most valuable club.

Thing is people kept saying Barca was broke. They were never broke. La Liga capped them from transfers because of their high wage bill. Barca like Real generate 1 billion per annum. If Barca were broke they could not operate as a business. They arw back to the 1:1 rule so now they can spend the money we already have

How funny...these so called experts don't even know how a club runs...they think a club's revenue is generated only by selling players...😂

I don’t understand how pundits won’t take the time to understand how club economies work. 🤦🏻♂️

How can they afford this? Because they WERE NEVER BROKE! Barcelona generate on average a billion per season and you think they have no money?? Their spending been has just been restricted for years because La Liga’s FFP rules are incredibly strict. How you “pundits” don’t know or understand this is your problem.

If the player wants to leave You can't force them to stay He has a market price and release clause for a reason

This is Barcelona's window and there's nothing the ESPN Extra Time crew can do about it. The worst is to talk

Barcelona never were broke. La Liga has strict rules, hence the 1:1 rule. Now they reached the 1:1 and are able to spend again. It was never about whether or not they had the money or not

If they can afford Gordon for 80m well they can definitely afford Alvarez
