Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
As long as they got mehssi, they should always be considered elite.
having said that, getting mugged of nerman certainly sent their stock down. from the high tier elites to the low tier elites. Think even Juventus is above them now. I don't recall a summer where a club tries to talk their way into another clubs player and ends up losing one of their star players for their troubles.

Agreed Barcelona has been dangerously toying with their Elite passport here
Imagine trying to Big-D PSG for Verratti , only to end up losing Neymar to them.
Then gathers the rest of the hypocrites to "denounce" PSG in UEFA
oh Barcelona

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
Juve regularly choose to sell their best players and Pogba aside for below market value.
Barca have been forced to due to a country law, Sports pls.
With that said their management team doesn't operate like a big club I suppose lol.

Trying too hard thread, we didn't choose to sell, they activated the release clause. Completely different than willingly selling to a rival for a bargain price.

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
LOL, what a clown thread. This reflects more on your insecurities with having a rival as good as Barca over the last decade than it does on what transpired.
A team with Messi in it, that also has Suarez, Pique, Busquets just recieved 220m euros to reinvest in a market where that can net you 2-3 world class players or 1 world class players and 3 extremely good players. If they can reinvest that well, I see that as a bigger threat to Europe than Barca with Neymar.
The issue with Neymar at Barca was never his individual quality which is one of the best in the world, but rather how he was never maximised playing second fiddle to Messi - replacing what he added to Barca is easier than replacing Neymar in a team built around him that takes full advantage of him.
As a Barca fan, I'm sorry to see Neymar go as he was genuinely a great team mate, but happy for him to lead his own team and get paid bucket loads of cash to do it.

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
Troll threads are alive and open on these boards, would expect nothing less from ignorant Madrid fans tbh.
Would be pretty neat if we ended up with Mbappe after Madrid was selling off scrubs to try and make room for him all summer (not that he's a player I would want but whatever).

What does PSG having a shit ton of money, and trigging over double the previous world record transfer fee on a release clause, have to do with ignorant shit talking footy fans?

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
I agree with OP.
THe end for Barca as elite club is near. Barca became truly elite with Messi, Iniesta, and rest of the Spanish core. these dudes are nearing the winter of their careers. how will barca replace messi?
Neymar was seen as the replacement, and now he is gone to PSG. lol
This transfer reminds of the time with the near 30 year old King Dinho and an emerging prince Messi.

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
And that was because Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets and Messi were in their prime or late prime. Xavi is gone. Iniesta is on his last leg. Busquets is not what he used to be... and frankly, as great as he is, neither is Messi.
Neymar was supposed to be the one that Barca would transition to. Now, they have nobody.

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
You are foolish if you think we won't bounce back.
2/3 correct transfer moves and we're back on track. You shouldnt worry too much
Replacing the current board would also help. + Messi has still 4 years of magic in him, I believe.

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
I've not been on GL as much since the Madrid win exactly because of threads and comments like this
Madrid fans have gone off the deep end with their arrogance.
Barca were forced to sell, and no one could have matched that offer. Obvious troll thread is obvious. You seem to forget that Barca won the treble a couple years ago and a double the year after that, and before that were the greatest team of all time.

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
Of course it is an obvious troll thread, just like the Juve one of the same name.
Barca still have the best player in the world, one of the best attacking players in the world, a midfield that is probably just 1 player away from being fantastic and a defense that is good enough.
Definitely still elite, and still in the top 3 with Barca and Madrid until proven otherwise.

Re: Barca should not be considered an elite club anymore
They were elite for a few seasons but they will always be in out shadow. Even in thier most successful era we have eclipsed them with as many champions leagues. They always talk about us and we don't care. It has always been that way.
Love the fact that Neymar and his father used the club for more money and then scrammed. The club is on a downward trajectory and it's a sinking ship.
Hala Madrid!
