I really think Barcelona should be considered in the way they pay their players. They give away too much salary in my opinion. If you look at Real Madrid I think we will find the salary to be more deserving for the Real Madrid players. We all know how players like Sergio Busquets and Pique were getting huge amount of salary even when they were not performing well enough.
Lionel Messi is already on his way to MLS as far as I know. Barcelona will have to get over him. Lionel Messi has moved on and so should Barcelona. I am still not expecting too much from Barcelona in the Champions League competition, to be honest.
That has already passed where the option that was carried out by Barcelona at that time was to implement a salary cut that was almost quite large which at that time they were hit by a financial crisis but they had succeeded in doing this. Even for De Jong was willing to cut his salary and his loyalty to Barcelona still the same, namely staying with Barcelona last season.
Indeed this reflects that Barcelona must be able to adjust the level of spending they make for each season because the crisis finances they faced in the previous season have completely not yet improved this season. Especially since recently they have been constrained by financial problems which have prevented Barcelona from repatriating Lionel Messi.
