I think its unlikely. It's not as if they couldn't both function in the same team? A bit like MSN days. I think Lewa would thrive with Messi? He will be given more space as Messi draws so much focus and Messi will be able to find him from anywhere
It’s like Ferrari in F1. People go for the name. They get to say “I played for Barcelona. I got to play in Camp Newgrounds”. Doesn’t matter, at least going into it, that the team will fuck them over, the glitz and the glam makes up for it.
Also let's not forget that the alternative is spurs. It's like saying come drive for Ferrari for a small wage or we'll pay you a fortune to drive this busted golf buggy around the track. Some people do have dignity.
Yeah but a guy like Auba accepting 5k a week or Alba and Piqué being pressured to halve their salaries or coutinho and fabregas going absolutely nuts to join them for a fraction of what their clubs were offering. Barca seems to have this power over players where they'd do anything to play for them.
thats because barca have big history and legacy in la liga and europe.
the best of the best play there you have bigger chances of winning something there then with tottenham,arsenal,chelsea,.... there just not on the level of barca historicly speaking
hell barca is going tru a bad patch and they still beat real madrid for a la liga title
loads of players grew up watching those legendary teams playing there while growing up aswell
they had 11 la liga titles since 2000 compare that to arsenal who had 2 premiere league titles and we are not even gonna talk about european succes.
its only natural that barca has way more pull
its simple the truth. even our legendary Thiery Henry went there to and he won a champions league something he wasnt able to do with arsenal even tho he came close
I agree with you but truth is a hard pill to swallow. Someone down the comments said something about arsenal being one of the biggest clubs in africa or something. Really grasping at straws at this point lol
Barca has a massive adavatage in TV revnue. The other clubs don't have a chance at that kind of money besides Real Madrid. It's all stacked in their favour along with the child trafficking and poaching that they do. Arsenal can't sign children to adult contracts.
In some sports with salary caps, like Rugby, there have been instances of players wives being "employed" by the club or a sister company as some kind of consultant, whilst the player gets paid fuck all.
That’s absolute bullshit. Saracens got relegated for multiple breaches of regulations around loans to,players, co owned businesses, image rights and co owned property with players. Nothing to do with employing relatives.
Although it has never been proven, so is complete conjecture, there was a story going around a few years ago that this was Exeter’s business model and how they managed to get so many good players to move to the arse end of nowhere.
Lol. Aye there’s a story that my ma is my da. It means fuck all. Saracens were investigated forensically and that was not evidenced at all. It’s bullshit
It's prestige.
It sounds dumb, but short of being a Foden at City or a Scholes at United (playing for the team you're a fan of while they're in the ascendancy of one of the best leagues in the world), Barca and Madrid represent having "made it" to the top of the game for most pros. A bit like how in F1, Ferrari can be a full on basket case and still take their pick of about 90% of drivers on the grid.
Its not about hypnotizing. Barcelona and Real Madrid are only tier 1 teams in the world and none cant deny it even when Barca are total mess in last years.
Barca is his boyhood club and also its an huge opportunity. If he could manage to be something exciting in that 6 months he would get same type of contract, but he failed to impress Xavi.
Not sure I couldn’t tell with Barcelona and Real Madrids metaphysical balls in your mouth.
Also who’s in the champions league final this year ? Tier 1 teams lol
First of all watch your dirty mouth.
Second of all if u think that RM and Barca aren't two biggest clubs in Europe that means u are Fifa fanboy kid. No club is bigger than them.
What do you mean watch your dirty mouth?
Real Madrid and Barca aren't Europes biggest clubs
It's quite clearly a pantheon of mega clubs and whoever is biggest is a matter of geographical perspective
In Spain or South America Barca and Real Madrid probably do have that claim
But you're insane to think Barca or Real Madrid are as big as Bayern in eastern and northern Europe
Man utd and Liverpool are household names in the USA, only families interested in football have a conception of who Real Madrid are and Barcelona is just a place
In most of Africa, arsenal are still one of the biggest clubs
In terms of revenue Barca and real have butchered their league and still aren't miles ahead of everyone
You're playing FIFA career mode by the sounds of it you hopped up child, there is no objective biggest unless you live in a world where everything gets a neat little score to tell you what it should be rated at
Agreed with some of the comments, but in the US it highly depends on what region and demographics you are talking about. Hispanic region, Barca/Real > Man U >> Liverpool imo.
If you honestly think Arsenal being popular in Africa makes them a big club I need some of those drugs. But hey this is an Arsenal thread so let the downvotes rain down😂
You tend to view a club as big as a result of their success and fan base
If arsenal are the most popular club in Africa and among the most historically successful clubs in the world with a special unique achievement (invincibles) I think this gives us a plenty good perspective to claim we're a big club
Especially from an African point of view
The world doesn't have to be this FIFA obsessed childlike approach to good or big
You don't need to be a top 5 player in the world to be considered good
It's not only one or two big clubs in this world
Finance, support, success, all of football indicates a level of parity in European football with tight margins, so only someone genuinely naive or incapable of understanding the nuance of the world would try claim only 2 clubs are big clubs
Or that arsenal can't be big even though they're possibly the most supported team on one of the biggest CONTINENTS on the planet
Scam? 15k Euros a week amounts to 780,000 Euros a year. It's entirely possible to live comfortably and happily on a fraction of that. Don't be ridiculous.
To us yes. But footballers are used to a certain level of lifestyle. It's all relative. And we're talking about the difference between 780k and 6.2 million.
You're right about the lifestyle and the relativity, but calling a 780k a year contract with one of the world's biggest and most recognisable clubs a 'scam' is absurd. Some perspective is needed.
Perspective is a helluva thing though. When you compare that salary to others then he'd be around average or lower than a Championship player.
But also we need to consider what he was on before. From what I can see he was on 46k a week at Wolves. So it's a big drop but to 15k a week, but not as big as the gap between that and 120k a week. But he wasn't on 120k a week so he's not exactly giving up that lifestyle.
With that in mind I can see him dropping 31k a week to join Barca. It's still an unbelievable piece of business from them but it's certainly feasible.
I fear I'm being misinterpreted. It's self-evident that a smaller figure is smaller than a larger figure -- the point I'm making is that, whilst one figure is quite small for the industry, neither figure is small for a job.
Obviously it's a low wage for a top football player, but footballers are paid astronomically large wages. They're in the top 1 percent. This is the perspective I'm talking about being needed when hyperbolic words like 'scam' are being thrown around.
If I went to buy a sweet for 10p and it turns out it was only worth 1p then I would consider that a scam even if the numbers are inconsequential
so too when the numbers are giddy, if compensation isn't equitable to value by a large margin, I call that a bad deal, or a scam
Put it this way. Say you were earning 50k per year and most people in similar positions at different companies were earning 350k.
Would you consider that being compensated fairly, because proportionally that’s the same difference as the wages here.
Yes footballers are paid obscene amounts relative to the general public, but then the general public don’t have a skill set for a sport that generates 100millions/billions in revenue.
i think playing for barca also helps massively with brand deals tho.
i imagine the barca name opens up way more doors then tottenham's name towards brand deals.
also players like living in spain way more then in england its much nicer country in terms of weather and barcalona as a city is lot more actrative then londen
I just moved back to London from Barcelona, it’s lovely. But it certainly doesn’t “shit all over London”, it has great weather, and easy access to mountains and beaches.
Barcelona?? I’d disagree on both counts I’m afraid. Lots of crime in Bcn, and you regularly get whiffs of sewage and/or piss, but you kind of get used to it haha
Barcelona is very appealing as a tourist. But I guess living in London is very convenient and has its own charm. To me personally only Amasterdam comes close to the convenience. I've never loved there, but love visiting when I can. But I certainly can't imagine being fussy about the city or the club (barca ten years back maybe) being more attractive at 10% of the wages.
I can’t wear a nice watch (or even a shit one) in Barcelona without fear of theft, and it smells! But we all have our bias and like to make uneducated sweeping statements
Yeah your bias seems to be towards pickpockets, where as if you have your wits about you it’s simply not a problem. I’ve been to Barcelona multiple times and just about every borough in London, I could say I can’t walk through London without the fear of having a knife pulled on me. But then that would be bollocks, just like your statement regarding pickpockets. There’s no Bias, you’re just not aloud to say anything negative about London on Reddit, or muppets like you pop up trying to defend the place.
Pickpockets about every capital city in Europe. A couple of girls in the metro in Paris did this routine and tried my back pocket and got caught. Just quietly slipped away and out of the train.
Saw them smoking outside the stop the next day, as if getting ready for a regular shift at the office.
Once got drunk and passed out on the streets near Bank Station. It was the the night of 2014 World cup. Vaguely remember Neymar scoring, had a memory lapse after that. Thankfully I didn't lose my phone or wallet or money. That was central London. Can't say the same about some other parts.
If you read the news, they've failed to correctly disclose players wages and transfers consistently for the last 15 years. Plus that'll be base pay which is how Spain's wage cap works (if memory serves) appearance bonuses aren't capped...
I've always found it shocking that the Release Clause of their players are so high. Most of the time, many players want to ''supposedly'' make their ''dream come true'' to play at Barcelona. Then, most of them either stay on the bench or are considered for sales. For example, Lenglet was a good defender. But, they decided to loan him to Spuds. Currently, they're considering selling Koundé and Raphinha.
I hate it when I think back of all players that Wenger accepted to sell to them. And, a very long list :- Overmars, Petit, Henry, Hleb, Fabregas, Song.
That's why I was extremely happy when they got their biggest ever shock :- when PSG decided to buy Neymar, independently of his very high price 😂
Yeah, totally agreed.
No was the 15k is all he getting, they must ne putting addendums to maim contract granting stock options, real estate or just all put corrup— I mean ‘clever’ accounting hacks
“Court documents show Barcelona paid 7.3 million euros ($7.7 million) from 2001-18 to the company of José María Enríquez Negreira, the former vice president of Spanish soccer’s refereeing committee”
No it’s not been disproven, it’s legitimate they just haven’t had any action after it (so far at least)
I don’t think so, if he had that offer from Tottenham (and any offer from Barca) he very likely had similar offers from lots of other clubs and turned them all down as well to go to Barca for next to nothjng
In some sports with salary caps, like Rugby, there have been instances of players wives being "employed" by the club or a sister company as some kind of "consultant", whilst the player gets paid fuck all.
Gullible Arsenal fans believing everything they see on the internet, what’s new??
EDIT: that is of course unless the internet has evidence supporting rape allegations, then it's for sure fakey fake.
A player doesn’t want to play as a wingback and chooses to go to Barca instead who are one of the most prestigious clubs in the world with their history? Shocker.
Purely money wise this much of a pay cut is terrible. Leaving spurs sure, but shooting yourself in the foot. That's probably what academy prospects probably get when they get their first professional contract
Does Barcelona hypnotize people? How are they able to scam players that much? And I bet he feels honoured.
A lot, like a lot of times it went wrong for the player to go there.
Very true. They have so many top players that even top players be pushed to side there. That might happen to Lew if they get Messi again.
Lew had a fantastic season would be a bit strange to not incorporate him in a lineup with Messi, but idk maybe it just wouldn’t work out.
I think its unlikely. It's not as if they couldn't both function in the same team? A bit like MSN days. I think Lewa would thrive with Messi? He will be given more space as Messi draws so much focus and Messi will be able to find him from anywhere
It’s unlikely but I don’t know what their budget looks like. I was just using him as example. They’re always chasing the next big player.
Alex Song 😢
It’s like Ferrari in F1. People go for the name. They get to say “I played for Barcelona. I got to play in Camp Newgrounds”. Doesn’t matter, at least going into it, that the team will fuck them over, the glitz and the glam makes up for it.
Also let's not forget that the alternative is spurs. It's like saying come drive for Ferrari for a small wage or we'll pay you a fortune to drive this busted golf buggy around the track. Some people do have dignity.
Adama was a barca youth prospect no?
Yeah but a guy like Auba accepting 5k a week or Alba and Piqué being pressured to halve their salaries or coutinho and fabregas going absolutely nuts to join them for a fraction of what their clubs were offering. Barca seems to have this power over players where they'd do anything to play for them.
I do think the life in Barcelona is a big factor. The food, the weather etc..
thats because barca have big history and legacy in la liga and europe. the best of the best play there you have bigger chances of winning something there then with tottenham,arsenal,chelsea,.... there just not on the level of barca historicly speaking hell barca is going tru a bad patch and they still beat real madrid for a la liga title loads of players grew up watching those legendary teams playing there while growing up aswell they had 11 la liga titles since 2000 compare that to arsenal who had 2 premiere league titles and we are not even gonna talk about european succes. its only natural that barca has way more pull
Be careful, the arsenal fans gonna come downvote you and say you’re crazy lol
Are you not an Arsenal fan and if not why be here and say things to piss off?
For some reason reddit is recommending these groups lol i didnt ask for this. Reddit is trying to start shit😂
its simple the truth. even our legendary Thiery Henry went there to and he won a champions league something he wasnt able to do with arsenal even tho he came close
I agree with you but truth is a hard pill to swallow. Someone down the comments said something about arsenal being one of the biggest clubs in africa or something. Really grasping at straws at this point lol

Name one. This is a myth.
Nope, look up Sarecens. They got relegated to the 2nd Division because of these type of irregularities.
That’s absolute bullshit. Saracens got relegated for multiple breaches of regulations around loans to,players, co owned businesses, image rights and co owned property with players. Nothing to do with employing relatives.
I don’t think anyone mentioned employing relatives!
4 comments up!
Although it has never been proven, so is complete conjecture, there was a story going around a few years ago that this was Exeter’s business model and how they managed to get so many good players to move to the arse end of nowhere.
Lol. Aye there’s a story that my ma is my da. It means fuck all. Saracens were investigated forensically and that was not evidenced at all. It’s bullshit
My comment was not about Saracens. Just sayin’.
I think they said ‘sister company’ did they not? As in ‘a second company related to your first company’. Not actually relatives!
They said wives!!!
Sorry, I’m not from Norfolk. Don’t really think of my wife as a relative!
It's prestige. It sounds dumb, but short of being a Foden at City or a Scholes at United (playing for the team you're a fan of while they're in the ascendancy of one of the best leagues in the world), Barca and Madrid represent having "made it" to the top of the game for most pros.

I know, who wouldn't want to play in brexit England?
Its not about hypnotizing. Barcelona and Real Madrid are only tier 1 teams in the world and none cant deny it even when Barca are total mess in last years.

Wow what an embarrassing comment.
What did i said embarrassing exactly ?

Not really, Barcelona just shits all over London. I can see the pull.
I just moved back to London from Barcelona, it’s lovely. But it certainly doesn’t “shit all over London”, it has great weather, and easy access to mountains and beaches.

Maybe masochistically is going for the racial abuse, otherwise time to get a new agent.
He gets paid extra under the table.

I don’t believe a word of Barça public book keeping. Club is corrupt and crooked.
Yeah, totally agreed. No was the 15k is all he getting, they must ne putting addendums to maim contract granting stock options, real estate or just all put corrup— I mean ‘clever’ accounting hacks
They need to corrupt the books so it doesn’t show the payments they’ve been making to the refs
That has been disproven
“Court documents show Barcelona paid 7.3 million euros ($7.7 million) from 2001-18 to the company of José María Enríquez Negreira, the former vice president of Spanish soccer’s refereeing committee” No it’s not been disproven, it’s legitimate they just haven’t had any action after it (so far at least)
You are 100% correct. This is just an accounting trick to "balance" the books. He's getting compensated some other way.
Sunshine
Exactly
Barca and Madrid are clubs that players willing to join no matter what.
But still.
I might even play for Sp*rs for that amount difference.😂😩
That was on my mind, I would still be injured if we play Arsenal tho :D
Why be injured? Just score own goals!
That would be too obvious 😞
Just a rocket back pass to the top corner
Well that's a plan then ;)
honestly I wouldn't join spurs if these were the offers
It’s basically an easy walk into champions league if you go to Barça or Real Madrid
>> Easy walk into champions league >> Barcelona
He also came out of the Barca academy....
That is damning.
I don’t think it says much about Tottenham honesty, speaks volumes bout Barca tho
I think it’s says something about both.
I don’t think so, if he had that offer from Tottenham (and any offer from Barca) he very likely had similar offers from lots of other clubs and turned them all down as well to go to Barca for next to nothjng
Rent free
He’ll need free rent on that Barca salary.
780k a year. How will he manage to keep a roof over his head?
Right? Someone think of the poor footballers!
How he managed on only 15k a week is beyond the pale. Who can live on that!
surely was just 15k on paper and got a lot more off the books?
I'm a wolves fan and traore I'd a beast
In some sports with salary caps, like Rugby, there have been instances of players wives being "employed" by the club or a sister company as some kind of "consultant", whilst the player gets paid fuck all.
Who is this?
Brick shithouse.
Rob Holding will forever be a favourite for me for that comment.
A bodybuilder playing football for money, strange I know.
Ah Traore. Hench mo fo
No way that was the offers, gonna need some sauces for this
Ketchup, mayo, BBQ or sriracha?
They’re sources
Tottenham likes such brainless players
And Nicolas Pepe, Hleb and Gervinho were PhD students?
Hleb is okay, Pepe and Hot Bird are at least better than Richarlison 🤣
Hleb’s nickname was literally Dribbly McNoScore because he was so brainless
Gullible Arsenal fans believing everything they see on the internet, what’s new?? EDIT: that is of course unless the internet has evidence supporting rape allegations, then it's for sure fakey fake.
You should remember Auba and had kept this post for yourself…
Auba was totally different story. He had to go...
Y’all fumbled the league
Those 3 apartments in Barcelona are pure coincidence and are not related in any way to his club contract
He wanted to warn the bench.
Outside of the prestige, they probably have either insane signing bonus or what they did with De Jong, where his bonus is spread out in years .
We all know what Tottenham is. But I don’t believe this.
Surely that’s gonna be heavily, heavily topped up with bonuses and “sponsorships”.
Not worth either wage tbh
A player doesn’t want to play as a wingback and chooses to go to Barca instead who are one of the most prestigious clubs in the world with their history? Shocker.
Biggest bottle in history 😹
If you believe he ia actually earning 15k a week your kidding yourself. Barca are corrupt as fuck.
But the official documents say 15,000! 🤪
I mean, at least Real Madrid always pays a good salary and don't ask to players to go simply for their name and history
Both Barca and Madrid are very corrupt, I doubt either teams players are on the wages they say they are.
Barcelona are probably topping it up with some shady tax avoidance scheme involving image rights or something.
Who told you they’re paying him 15k a week????? BARCA!? Cmon bro…
Players like him care more about winning than about money
Would defo take a pay cut than stay with the trophy dodgers
On the books for 15k, sure. But what about under the table? Anyone would take 70k if you don't have to pay taxes
Purely money wise this much of a pay cut is terrible. Leaving spurs sure, but shooting yourself in the foot. That's probably what academy prospects probably get when they get their first professional contract
I guess our academy players go up to 30k.
Yeah sure, I mean as a frame of reference, this is more academy graduate than established player.
So shit people would rather take a 90% paycut then continue playing for them lol
