I remember when we (Milan) signed Bonucci, I thought "This is it...this is the key to take us to the next level". Unfortunately, it wasn't the Bonnuci that we all knew prior to summer 2017. Brilliant video, as always ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
Free player isn’t bad , like Zlatan and many , instead bonnuci should had Raul Albion instead , or Otemendi , ventergon & many world class legend join for cheaper option
Nicola Pepe from Arsenal will be a huge loss when sold this summer too. we could've gotten anyone else for him. 72mil is too much for a left footed Iwobi
Surely if Hulk & Oscar can be a joint entry, Coutinho must be accompanied by Griezzmann! The final nail in a shitshow of overpriced moves that culminated in them losing the best player of all time
Coutinho's valuation was not overpriced, considering Liverpool was unwilling to sell, gave Barca their valuation to ward them off yet Barca decided to pay. Now Barca still owes abt 60m for the transfer.
@@pred1237 Still overpayed given the age profile of the player, the finances of the club and the implications that move had on other contracts/transfers. Not saying he's a bad player, far from it, just that it was a bad move
You could fill this list with Barca signings: Coutinho, Ferran Torres, Miralem Pjanic, Trincao, Griezmann, Vidal, Dembele, Arda Turan... Then buy trash and sell the quality players they have Thiago, Yaya Toure, and Yerry Mina come to mind
@@jhaych Madrid produces huge profits. The time of them going whole seasons while registering in minus are done and have been for the past decade, even during covid they just broke even, while renovating Bernabeu and now they've signed a pretty nice deal with stadium-managing company that injects 300mln instantly and gets most of the profit from when the stadium will be rented out for different occasions organised by this company - basically Perez is great at making money for the club and keeping stable politics.
That's exactly it... not even Barça's incompetent directors were sure what role it was that Coutiño was signed for. Destined for failure from the get-go 🤦🏾♂️
I would say Neymar's departure mixed with incompetance of the board at Barca was the reason for our financial downfall not the Coutinho's transfer alone.
It made then trigger happy, so they decided to spend over €100 million on three different players in three consecutive transfer windows, none of which were compatible with the tactics that the coaches employed, for extortionate wages each over €250,000 a week (they all flopped badly btw), and it also made Bartomeu have the brilliant idea of making the minimum wage for the squad something like €130,000 a week and the average around €200,000 a week, giving out money like candy to players like Umtiti, Lenglet, Sergi Roberto, etc (who now don’t want to leave the club because they would have to slash their wages by like 80%). It also made Bartomeu think that the club had enough money that they wouldn’t notice if he started stealing from the club finances; and raise the costs needed to run the club every year only possible to pay back if they got like €1 billion a year (he got very cocky). Then the pandemic hit, and Barca went broke, have debts of billions (the state of which is comparable to Leeds in the 2000s), sell Messi, force all their players to cut their wages in half, cancel contracts, furlough a bunch of staff, all because Neymar got sold and Bartomeu got cocky because of it.
When if comes to Real Madrid football daily really have no clue what they’re talking about. In the past 10 years Real Madrid aren’t even in the top 20 clubs in the world with the highest net spend even wolves West Ham and Everton are above. Real Madrid weren’t “forced” to sell anyone it was just a smart business move. Hazard is a massive flop but in no way even dented Real Madrids finances, who continue to make the most revenue from any club in the world per season to this day
Imo, Coutinho was the one who started the destruction of Barca, but Griezmann was far worse. He cost 120 mil on pure release clause, not to mention bonuses. Fun fact: Barca didn't have enough money to sign him, so they took a loan which fucked us even more
@@azimh4077 The ban was overturned though and did not serve any purpose. City have now signed Haaland and paid crazy sign on fees and wages. FFP is useless.
You guys are great and I’m a fan of the three channels but the info regarding atleti is misleading and incorrect. Simeone gets paid 24 million euros every year (still too much) and João felix while costing 126 million euros, they sold griezmann for 120, Lucas Hernández for 80, rodri to city for 60 or 80 million euros the same year so it wasn’t like they spent that money without any outgoings. They sold a 28 year old for a 120 million and signed the golden boy and one of the world’s most promising players for an extra 6 million so I would say it was pretty well spent and not that big a deal. I also remember the other options being considered were cavani, lacazette and rodrigo (leeds) and all three were around the 50 to 60 million range
Exactly, I don’t get this inclusion at all. He’s also the only player who still is extremely young, and therefore has enough time to find his place in the system. He’s had a few spells of great form that unfortunately get halted with an injury. Give the boy time
I don't think barca's financial problems can be solely pinned on one transfer. They made several big money transfers that did not pan out and handed players outrageous wages. Add to that to the fact that their performances dropped off a cliff and Covid, it was just a perfect shit storm.
@@illuminated1158 the initial transfer fee was enough for Klopp to sign VVD After 2018 world cup, klopp was able to sign more players as the club owner; also the FSG owner provided 100% support to Klopp
Financially, isn't Dembele more ruining to Barcelona than Coutinho? Coutinho's wages have been partly covered by other teams in his loan spells plus a 20M fee from Aston Villa to get him. Demebele has had a decent season this year but has not produced anything since his arrival, not even money from loan spells and will most likely go on a free transfer elsewhere
I’m just wondering why alexis sanches to manchester united isnt on the list. He made it so every other united player had to make more money and giving them financial troubles.
Freddy Lundberg when he rocked up to the Boleyn with a free bus pass, Paulo Futre and his 4 (I think) goals. We have been good at bad for so long it’s nice to see the club largely getting it right nowadays…
Pretty sure Monaco didn’t spend big because the opener pulled the plug but okay… these kinds of list are stupid when you guys are literally making things up
Couthino took a substantial paycut to join Villa on a perm contract. And it far from ruined Villas finances, so get the F out🤣 We just signed B.Kamara and D.Carlos, so pleas get ur facts straight FD and Dougie👏 😆🤏

@@miguelteixeira2112 Yes , it was a bad move as Barca never wanted a striker , what Barca actually wanted was a solid defender
Falcao is monaco's 4th all time top scorer
Small correction
Such an animal in his prime, that injury really affected him unfortunately
Sounds right. He had three good seasons not five or six.
Falcao was a very big flop at Man U. He never tried to adapt to the system of play just like Dimaria and Depay.
You could fill this list with Barca signings: Coutinho, Ferran Torres, Miralem Pjanic, Trincao, Griezmann, Vidal, Dembele, Arda Turan...
Then buy trash and sell the quality players they have Thiago, Yaya Toure, and Yerry Mina come to mind
if you mention Mina, then you have to mention Digne

@@jhaych UEFAlona are a joke. They couldnt renew Messi but then went on to sign Aguero,Garcia,Depay,F.Torres,Adama.
Coutinho “signed as the apparent heir to Iniesta,” huh??? I’m pretty sure they saw him as a replacement for the hole left by Neymar
I think they signed dembele to replace neymar. They played countinho as a midfielder at the start
Coutinho played mostly in inestas position for us.
Only occasionally played in our front 3
Barcelona were doing good stuff by getting good players they just didn't fit in our system
That's exactly it... not even Barça's incompetent directors were sure what role it was that Coutiño was signed for. Destined for failure from the get-go 🤦🏾♂️
Yes
make a video on best Xi from the relegated sides from the top 5 eu leagues
I would say Neymar's departure mixed with incompetance of the board at Barca was the reason for our financial downfall not the Coutinho's transfer alone.
Wouldn't Neymar's departure be good for Barca since they got over 200 million from the transfer

@@edwinmartinez7821 like Shiven said it left us with loads of money and a need to replace a super star which we tryed to do and did not succeed in.
Coutinho transfer was also one of the reasons.
@@benjaminkalubi7918 100% agree but it was far from the only reason we are in the financial crisis.
João Félix will become one of the world’s best, just needs to be on the right situation!
Needs to leave atletico, their “negative” style limits him
Yeah it’s hard for a young attacker to develop under that defensive system

Simione is a god at athletico
Coutinho..worst in history.
He surely likes hazard and Chelsea!
Falcoa was monster for athletico Madrid it's a shame the injuries took a toll on him
Griezmann for 120 mil has to be here
Definitely over Coutinho
I would say 90% of transfers made under Monchi and Pallotta at AS Roma.
I don't think barca's financial problems can be solely pinned on one transfer. They made several big money transfers that did not pan out and handed players outrageous wages. Add to that to the fact that their performances dropped off a cliff and Covid, it was just a perfect shit storm.
It started with Neymar getting sold and Bartomeu getting cocky and greedy because of it
I think Coutinho became an asset for Klopp’s overhaul as the initial payment for the transfer fee was enough for Klopp to sign VVD
Yeah without the sale of coutiniho Liverpool wouldn't of don't what they have in the last few years.
@@illuminated1158 the initial transfer fee was enough for Klopp to sign VVD
After 2018 world cup, klopp was able to sign more players as the club owner; also the FSG owner provided 100% support to Klopp
Could include most of Barca recent signings in this lol

Roberto Soldado to Spurs has to be on this list
Negredo was so good in his one season at man city.
Oh and veron to man u (silva is good)
Shevi and torres to Chelsea
Barca financial situation is more like by the 3 of them costing 440m.
I mean wtf 3 players for 440m and with wages almost over 600 m
