Més que un club
Love seeing barca on there knees absolute joke of a so called big team getting on like a team near the bottom with there spending
Why don’t they just stop buying big name players stop handing players massive wages and just rebuild with their academy
Why are their salaries so high?? Shdve given de jong to man utd
Trust me Christensen is fine😂😂
This team 😂😂
So Dani knew all this & still signed? Sack the agent!
And Barca could have avoided all this nonsense if they would just let go of Frenkie 😒
Please who is this video editor and what app do you use?
Sevilla couldn't register Iheanacho too..
It's not a Barça thing.. It's a La Liga thing
Barcelona..
Thought it was dead..
LOL..
Spanish system is so bent to help Barca and Madrid, and Barca are still unable to keep to the rules
Barca is not the only club in debt yes they have more but they are one of the highest earners also. The problem comes when laliga capping the salaries for different teams i am sure real madrid has the salary limit same as all other teams combine but they have no restrictions. Favouritism does hit barca a lot guys thats why barca is underdog of this league even than atletico.
And everybody just touting at Manchester city as a cheater😂
Knowing Olmo he’ll get injured before January
Long Live Barcelona's downfall 😂
That's sorry state of affairs
No wayyy there is no truth on this video 😮
Barca will kick Christiansen ankle in January 😂😂
why do they have salary limit issues when their squad is mostly made up of kids? Or is it cus of De Jong ??
i thought it also had something to do with both Roque and Lenglet leaving on loans. it’s no coincidence the day they left or the day after Olmo got registered. sure barca may still have to pay a percentage of their salaries but still.
another thing is, barca have done this before with Martinez when Araujo got injured. so everyone who thinks this is new or saying “ohh they do as they please” is just stupid.
Barca are a mess
It’s mess que un club. It’s a Python sketch.
Every team has problems registering players in La Liga, Barça are just the most news worthy
Brokalona is so cooked
Barca is the template of how to ruin a club:
Have a prolific academy!
Allow all talent to leave either for free or for peanuts…
Have the talented youngsters join from the academy!
Surround them with overpaid/aging players…
Bring back players who left the club at a young age when they’re more established!
Can’t play them because they couldn’t offload overpaid and aging talent…
I'm still convinced Laporta slide tackled Christensen's leg himself
Fake news just keep on hating Barcelona
Barca are back to their old tricks.😂
LaLiga executives and board just stretch the rules for Barca and Real. If this financial situation applied to anybody else, they would at the very least have entered VA. Tebas is a cancer running the league, and only wants the big 2 running the show.
theyre gonna start sacrificing the bench warmers by purposely breaking their legs or something 😭
Barça will have a lot of “mysterious“ injuries that “coincidentally“ allow them to keep registering new players from now on.
When the time comes, there will always be a way
In January, Laporte will come with a baseball bat to break Christensen's ankle again. 😂
I hope Barcelona suffer from this abuse of the rules it’s insane
To accomodate Olmo, someone's legs would be broken in this winter i guess…
He was Dani Almost there for a bit.
Im not a fan. But for the past decade it feels they are running Barca into the ground. 😢
Unless they get a player suspiciously injured when needed
Olmo couldn't register Dani
Brokecelona moment, lol
Corrupt😊
So they bent the rules for Barcelona
What a joke of a club🤡🤡🤡🤡
Yeah fair play they pay almost $700k weekly wage to Frenkie De Jong
What a joke of a club. Used to be a majestic institution of football
Why do Madrid have no problems when they have way more non home grown players?
UPDATE: They did not, in fact, find a way to register him.
Guess what they did not
