swiss ramble did a good tweet thread about barca finances that i did a big lol at today.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1548917012021145606.html

some tidbits:

Swiss Ramble posted:

After many profitable years, #FCBarcelona slumped to a €133m pre-tax loss in 2020, followed by a shocking €555m loss in 2021, which was by some distance the worst in Europe. In fact, this was the highest loss ever reported by a football club.

Swiss Ramble posted:

#FCBarcelona total debt (including bank loans, transfer fees, wages, tax authorities and other creditors) has more than tripled in the last 5 years to stand at €1.2 bln, the third highest in Europe, only below #CFC (Abramovich friendly loans) and #THFC (funding a new stadium).

Swiss Ramble posted:

Like all football clubs, one way that #FCBarcelona have managed to sign these players is by paying the transfer fees in stages. Even though they managed to reduce transfer debt to €231m in 2021, this was still the second largest in Europe, again only behind Juventus.

We now have 5 wing backs and conte says he is going to train up lucas into one as well. :)

With the new subs rule we can just rotate wing backs like it's american football.

Ha, no I was getting a bit over excited with the analogy there. We will be able to constantly replace both wing backs every game though while still allowing the normal amount of subs for other areas of the pitch which is brilliant for conte's system.

It's true but if I remember right Haaland was just back from injury and didn't play his best. Also Edson Alvarez cut off all passing lanes to the man so that helped Martinez.

Watch the highlights, Haaland had 4 shots, including one where he hit the bar. I wouldn't exactly call that pocketing him.

It seems to be like there have been several players this transfer window who were banking on moving on to a bigger, better club on a free for massive wages and then...nobody really jumped at landing them?

Although it's been pretty clear for awhile that Di Maria was probably heading to Juve, same with Rudiger to RM, Christensen to Barca and Bale somewhere other than England or Spain, meanwhile others like Mbappe and Dembele ended up renewing while Dybala, and Lingard all seemed to eventually end up somewhere but it wasn't quite the massive clamor to land them as expected. Pogba unsurprisingly went back to Juve but at lower wages than he was making before because neither of the big Spanish teams were really in for him as he'd hoped.

Ten Hag supposedly has his mind set on De Jong or work with what he already has, he doesn't want a backup solution.
