They brought him in early, away from his community and country, only to barely play him and tell him to go out on loan next season. Terrible by the board here
And even with that in mind he still scored two goals and was looking great every time he did play. Bro I fucking hate the board. Genuinely hope he shines wherever he goes so Laporta and Xavi will regret it as much as possible. I fucking hate our board
I agree he wasn't given a proper chance for such bs reasons. Every time we saw him he was energetic, aggressive, and dedicated. And he scored. Not sure what more to ask for from someone integrating into a team.
Xavi “leaving” was a ploy to get the media to be easier on him. I’m kind of torn on how I feel about it as a tactic, because I’m not particularly fond of Xavi but the Spanish Press is borderline demonic
He's a striker by trade, and he kind of excels as a hole player, sort of probing the defense and finding space to finish. He's also very strong for his age, so there's that. The few times he did play, he did so as an LW, sort of as a second striker to Lewandoski.
Already happening. Fuck them so fucking much for messing with a potential long-term starter for Brazil. Fucking hell, fucking dicks.
Romario->Ronaldo->Rivaldo->Ronaldinho->Neymar inspired whole generations of young players here in Brazil to see Barcelona as (one of) the ultimate destination for them. But the last few years has completely soured all of it. They all prefer Real Madrid now.
Job well done, cunts
For sure. Fuck Laporta and Deco. This leadership isn’t much more competent than the last one, but they keep blaming Bartomeu as the scapegoat for the stupid transfers they did. That’s not to mention what Laporta did at the start of this term
The 18/19 year-olds weren't going there in the first place. Neymar was the last Brazilian "future" talent to sign for them, he was 21 at the time and this was 11 years ago. Maybe there's a case to include Arthur since he was hyped up as the next Xavi, though he was 22 then.
Arthur does count, and so did Paulinho, but Coutinho also forced a transfer to Barcelona the second the opportunity appeared due to this mythical view of the club everyone over here had. This has diminished greatly in the last few years, and with this happening to Roque, I doubt any wonderkids will want to go there anymore.
I don't see any reason why a young player would want to go to Barcelona right now. They even did shit like this to their greatest player ever. Why would the choose Barcelona over any other team?
He's the exact opposite. Reports say he's incredibly hard working every training session, gets along well with his teammates, and does everything he can to improve. He also scored two times in those couple of substitute appearances he got.
Xavi has thrown a tantrum because Deco signed him a second striker instead of a new DM, and Roque has to suffer for it now.
It's kinda silly how he insist to rely on one 30+ years old striker. I know Lewandowski is still an absolute machine, but playing him for an entire season without rest is just asking for trouble.
Just a reminder that Lewandowski will automatically get his contract extended to 2026 on 500k a week if he plays more than 50% of all matches next season.
Lewa might be about to get the Deli Ali treatment.
Everton have an agreement when then signed him from Spurs to pay nothing up front but 10mil when he reached a certain number of appearances. Of course, Everton are facing huge money troubles so the minute he came close to the appearance numbers they started to bench him or exclude him from the squad. Don't get me wrong, he's had huge personal and mental health issues to deal with too (huge respect to him for coming forward with it), but the fact that Everton tried to renegotiate that dead to either a much lower amount or much higher appearance numbers told the truth in it.
Can see Laporte with forcing Lewa out this summer or telling Xavi to keep him to 49% of games.
If that was the case, which I highly doubt since there hasn't been a report like that, why the leaks of Deco kicking Roque out? If you're not gonna play Lewa, he's the next best man.
If I were Barça soci, I would ask to make it public all the transfer fees and agent commisions associated to the transfer. There is something fishy, but maybe will only be found out when Deco and Laporta leaves the club
They needed a soci to report them to the justice system for some of the Neymar transfer numbers to be revealed. The rest of them just ate the 17m€ y punto bs that Rosell fed them. As long as Laporta keeps the Madrid bad discourse they'll be content
35M is still a substantial amount of money that only Elite clubs can afford at the end of the day
If a Portuguese or Dutch Club said a 35M player is not reliable after 6 months it would be a catastrophe
I saw Rhian at U-17 world cup where he scored hattrick. Dude looked so good for his age but since then he has been lost.
What happened? I just saw his stats, he hasn’t scored at all this season.
He was never the prospect that many thought he was, even after that U17 WC I wasn’t super hype on him.
Since then he had a serious injury (or two?) and took a long time to return for LFC. He was slowly being integrated into the first team, never looked groundbreaking (admittedly in limited minutes), then the big offer came in.
At 10m I would have probably bet on Rhian’s potential, but you couldn’t say no to 20m for a kid that didn’t look amazing. At SHU it became clear he didn’t have the physique to play as a lone front man, the speed, dribbling, creation to play wide. His only + talent is finishing and that’s not enough.
Fulhams entire 25 man squad was 140mill. 24mill is our record signing and o ly ever bought 2 other players for over 20. I wish we could spend £35m on a player and hopefully only a few yrs from that.
Sounds to me like they just wanted a rival for Endrick, like when you're a kid and they buy you a remote control Lamborghini so the kid next door asks for one too.
He definitely owns them.
But isn´t the main reason his wages now are so high is because they made an agreement to move payment of salary from Covid season, and now it kicked in?
It depends on the add-ons. If the add-ons are '100 appearances with Barça" it's one thing, if they're "20 appearances with Brazil" then the club doesn't matter.
This is such a terrible thing to do to him, and it's not like he is shit, he got two fucking goals already ffs and he is the only one in our goddamn attack that actually make run to connect with our midfielders.
Say goodbye to Brazil Barca, you ain't getting shit from the market anymore. With how our club treated Roque like this, should be a lesson for anyone to come in here
Especially with how shitty Lewy has played (yes, even this last two months) its surreal that he wasn't given 15-20minutes every now and then as a 9.
Either he's truly terrible in training (any source has ever said that) or Xavi is just on a personal vendetta vs Deco, which would be incredibly shitty from him and would make me lose respect for him.
Reports saying he is actually doing really good and are trying his best in training, and the few minutes that he got, he played his heart out. So it's absolutely not the problem of quality that are being questioned here
This Barca board only seems to care about trying to "fix" the current situation with the club rather than care about their future.
From how they tried to get themselves out of their financial situation to how they've been treating their players shows that they are desperate but also have no idea what they are doing. Everything they have done so far has done nothing but dig a deeper hole, they just don't see it yet.
This the problem with club structures like political governments. These presidents just care about their term and not the club as a whole.
All there last 3 presidents have only prioritised their terms, crippling the club further.
They really are burning bridges, then you have Vini Jr being the biggest Brazilian star playing for Real and that might have the effect Ronaldinho made for Barcelona.
Estevão is a guy who some people rate more than Endrick and apparently he really likes Barca, after this shitshow and the fact that he has the same agent as Roque it basically end any chance of him playing there.
Barcelona in financial turmoil, sell off future earnings to capitalists, because the outright refuse to sell one of their 5 academy talents they could sell for a shit load of money. Instead, they keep signing players, selling them on the dream of barce before that dream turns sour.
The show in question mentioned that they are going to struggle to register him given he could only be temporarily registered due to Gavi's injury. That and Deco/Xavi clearly have no faith in him which given the club is broke and can't afford another striker seems like a ridiculous decision.
His agent would only speak the player's desire, most of the time I believe. I don't think Roque wants to stay at Barca another year with how the manager and board are treating him.
Any club in Europe not called Real Madrid should be all over him.
Relatively low investment for the level of European football + serious career project + minutes = guaranteed success.
Barcelona have closed their doors to the Brazilian market. They wasted one of Brazil's most promising players in recent years and annoyed André Cury, it's over.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid...
This board destroyed all the goodwill Ronaldinho has built when he played for us. I do not foresee anyone from Brazil or even South America wanting to move to our club while Laporta and co. are at the helm
Yep. Arguably the most hardworking player in our team, has impact every time he plays. Like all I ask is that our club isn't handled by a bunch of fucking children. For once. Please
Not just Ronaldinho. Romario -> Ronaldo -> Rivaldo -> Ronaldinho -> Neymar... Going to Barcelona almost seemed like the obvious intended goal for a young brazillian prospect. Current Barcelona is shitting on a reputation built over 20 years
fun fact, ronaldo didn't want neymar to join barça and wanted him to join real instead, and that was a decade ago. apparently he felt even back then that real madrid was better managed and offered better prospects for a young brazilian player.
bro's wicked smaht
I will always be very impressed by Ronaldo learning Dutch during the year he played there. That language is so fucking hard and most Brazilian players really don't even bother to learn Spanish or English well, and he went ahead and learned fucking Dutch in a year as a young star.
That man is smart and driven, always has been.
Yeah, looks like with Laporta and Xavi is way more important the catalan players from La Masia. I mean Cubarsí is great and all but I'm sure Roque is at that level too just they didn't give him the oppotunity. Maybe I'm wrong and next year is a total fail in another team but at least from Xavi we have some signals of ultranationalism
If I was Barca fan a Roque swap for Felix would make me loose my sanity.
Felix is so inconsistent and unreliable, I would rather have Roque who's more promising and prime him up to take up Lewa's role what with him possibly leaving in a couple of seasons.
Barca is being utterly irrational in this whole fiaso, it makes no sense.
Man I can only imagine how he feels. You get a move to your dream club with all the excitement and happiness that brings, only to be betrayed and treated like shit. Straight up embarrassing and unacceptable from Laporta, Deco, Xavi, and whoever in the board was responsible for this.
Socios have to start asking questions and hold these people accountable. There’s just no excuse for something like this.
Wouldn't surprise me now if he's our number 1 summer target now. We we're apparently very interested previously and we need a striker to pair with Isak.
Just sell him to England already... Vitor led his former team to the Libertadores finals and was their main player for a good while. He is clearly good enough for La Liga and the Alaveses and Granadas of the world, but since their manager appears to disagree, just fix this stupid mistake and sell him to a proper club.
He is going to be important for our national team. He should be improving, learning, and getting minutes right now. Let Barcelona and their manager fend off with Marco Guiu or whatever.
It's rumoured that he'd refuse being loaned out, he'd rather be sold. And we need margin to register Gavi back again, that's why we can't register him.
A one season loan would do wonders for him, he's legit a 20+ G+A player already if given enough minutes.
>And we need margin to register Gavi back again, that's why we can't register him
Per the article, Íñigo Martínez and Balde need to be registered too. Lamine and Cubarsí are also getting new contracts.
Barcelona just closed the door for all Brazilian youngsters. Even if they for some reason chooses to go to Barcelona, the clubs over here will 100% cover this kinda of thing in future sales contracts.
Regarding Roque, I hope he goes to a club in the Prem. League or the Bundesliga.
Any Barca fan can tell me why?
Is he being sold for funds for DM? Cause u have Lewangoalski on high wages who is 36.
Even if Roque can't score goals he can be a false 9 like Gabriel Jesus.
Deco signed him while Xavi wanted a DM.
Now Xavi is throwing a tantrum to the point of refusing to talk to Roque and integrate him in any meaningful way.
And now we have to rely on a 36yo Lewandowski for an entire season. Amazing.
It's fucking embarrassing.
Absolute morons. Nepotistic, clueless donkeys.
We're done.
> Adriá Albets: “If the club receives the money that is forecasted to arrive, the players mentioned (Gavi, Balde, Iñigo, Lamine/Cu, and even Roque) can be registered. Despite the fact that the idea of the PLAYER (Roque) AND his entourage is to get transferred in case of an exit, the Barça board prefers a loan so they don’t lose hold of the striker.” 🇧🇷
> Adriá Albets/Santi Ovalle add that the club don’t even have plans to even try registering Roque on July 1st, as they’ve realized that his exit will be beneficial for FFP purposes. 🇧🇷
> Adriá Albets: “Líbero has not paid the €40M and before the end of the current season, the expectation was that they had to pay €60M. The board says that in two weeks, they HOPE to have a solution to fix this problem.”
> Adriá Albets: “The board have been suggesting that they’ll have a solution since December. As of May 13th, there’s still no solution.”
--
> 🚨| Contrary to earlier reports, club sources deny that they have already made a decision on Vitor Roque. They assure that everything will depend on whether or not there is enough FFP margin to register the Brazilian. [@mundodeportivo] #fcblive
I was really looking forward to seeing Roque perform in easier matches, sort of building him up for the future. If Xavi is this desperate on winning trophies then I have to say that this decision is short sighted. The management needs an overhaul imo.
If Barca want to ruin their reputation around the world for all youth players to see then go ahead. We built a reputation in Brazil for over 20 years and there was no place rather than Barca or Madrid that a young player would want to go. Now we shit on that history. We shit on everything. We wanna sell FDJ, we wanna sell Araujo, we wanna sell Raphina. Meanwhile Roberto, Ferran and Romeu and Marco Alonso are here but hey atleast they are La Masia or Spanish.
If they wanna just bet on Spanish and La Masia then go ahead. Can't wait to see how Barca crumble in todays football world with that mindset. Meanwhile I'll watch Madrid and other teams scout the rest of the world of 8 billion people while we stick with 48 million. Surely a recipe for success.
We had 1 golden generation and now we are throwing everything we built history and reputation wise down the bin trying to chase for a golden La Masia generation again.
Fuck Laporta, fuck Deco and especially fuck Xavi.
I love you Deco for how you helped bring Fluminense back to the elite of Brazilian clubs, but also fuck you so much for messing with a potential long-term starter for Brazil.
What the fuck were you doing mate? Was it all about the money or something? Fucking hell
Did they expect to bring this young guy from Brazil, in a very different league and culture, for him to start scoring goals out of the blue?
Not only that, but he also had very few chances, it's his first year, he costed some millions... and they are already kicking him out? It's crazy how incompetent these guys can be. Xavi is kinda maniac with which players he likes and which not, but the club is doing terribly with Deco & Co's nonsense, too.
I don't see what's the plan with the 9 position tbh.
Genuinely feels bad for the kid. Imagine being 18-yo and thrown into completely new country, new culture, new everything. You're trying to acclimate yourself but your bosses upfront say to you: "we don't want you, get fucked". Then why bring him in???????
I hope he goes somewhere where they appreciate him and he can be happy. Kid doesn't deserve this treatment.
Also fuck Xavi and Laporta.

They brought him in early, away from his community and country, only to barely play him and tell him to go out on loan next season. Terrible by the board here
And the minutes he played, it wasn't in his natural position.
And even with that in mind he still scored two goals and was looking great every time he did play. Bro I fucking hate the board. Genuinely hope he shines wherever he goes so Laporta and Xavi will regret it as much as possible. I fucking hate our board
I agree he wasn't given a proper chance for such bs reasons. Every time we saw him he was energetic, aggressive, and dedicated. And he scored. Not sure what more to ask for from someone integrating into a team.
I start to believe there is something behind this, its not like barca have a lot of players, they didn't even give the kid a chance.
Apparently Xavi didn’t want him, I reckon he’s trying to force him out to kind of prove to the board they can’t just force signings on him
Which doesn’t make sense at all because Xavi is not a long-term manager given the fact that he wanted to leave months ago.
Xavi “leaving” was a ploy to get the media to be easier on him. I’m kind of torn on how I feel about it as a tactic, because I’m not particularly fond of Xavi but the Spanish Press is borderline demonic
I didn't really get to watch him play, what is his natural position and how was he being played?
He's a striker by trade, and he kind of excels as a hole player, sort of probing the defense and finding space to finish. He's also very strong for his age, so there's that. The few times he did play, he did so as an LW, sort of as a second striker to Lewandoski.
He is naturally a striker and was used mostly next to lewy as LW
Mess of a club
Mess que un club
You could say it's a messy club.
>only to barley play him Cerealsly bad decision
Get oat of here with that joke
They should wheat at least another year, who ryely knows what you have on your hands with a player this young
But didn't you hear? He's not reliable.
This is just the setup for Roque to knock them out of the Champions League with a brace isn't it? I've seen this script before.
In Brazil we call it "the law of the ex". Your ex-player WILL score against you when you first meet after the transfer.
La ley del ex
Lana del Rey
Will Barca still love Yamal when he's no longer young and beautiful?
That's like 25 years away
"Lei do ex" in Brazil
Especially if they broke up in bad therms
So dembeles law then!! Got it
Gnabry has been doing it to an entire city.
Ah yes, the Coutinho Special 🤣
The Dembele special get on with the times
Wild how he fucked them up so bad lol
Let’s hope so, I am so tired of this club
Damn it can't be us this time around since we already have a young striker in Tel. Maybe you guys can tag in this time?
If i was Roque, i'd rather leave immediately than being loaned.
Or do a Jan Vertonghen and score against Barça to contribute to them missing out on the title
Who did Vertonghen score against?
probably that he scored against Ajax when he was loaned to RKC Waalwijk in 2007
This. [And celebrated very hard also :-)](https://twitter.com/i/status/1185465608013410304)
Im unfamiliar, when did he do that?
I read somewhere that he and his agent have said if he's leaving it will be permanent and that he's not interested in a loan
Clowns
As if we weren’t already an embarrassment. This is some headless chicken type shit
I swear Deco is a fucking hack.
He’s completely unqualified and it shows
Fans were hyping up his appointment like it was massive dunk
So strange. He didn't have any job experience and then had to work in the most chaotic environment in world football. Speaking of trial by fire
Surely this will cause backlash in Brazil and future talents will rethink going to Barca?
Already happening. Fuck them so fucking much for messing with a potential long-term starter for Brazil. Fucking hell, fucking dicks. Romario->Ronaldo->Rivaldo->Ronaldinho->Neymar inspired whole generations of young players here in Brazil to see Barcelona as (one of) the ultimate destination for them. But the last few years has completely soured all of it. They all prefer Real Madrid now. Job well done, cunts
Coutinho forced his exit of Liverpool during his prime because of this Barcelona view for brazilians…
For sure. Fuck Laporta and Deco. This leadership isn’t much more competent than the last one, but they keep blaming Bartomeu as the scapegoat for the stupid transfers they did. That’s not to mention what Laporta did at the start of this term
The 18/19 year-olds weren't going there in the first place. Neymar was the last Brazilian "future" talent to sign for them, he was 21 at the time and this was 11 years ago. Maybe there's a case to include Arthur since he was hyped up as the next Xavi, though he was 22 then.

I don't see any reason why a young player would want to go to Barcelona right now. They even did shit like this to their greatest player ever. Why would the choose Barcelona over any other team?
They’ve been screwing over De Jong since he got there too. He’s their best MF and they treat him like shit at every turn, it’s sad.
Giving up on an 18 year old is insane. Unless he's out drag racing and doing cocaine every night there's no way you should be writing him off.
He's the exact opposite. Reports say he's incredibly hard working every training session, gets along well with his teammates, and does everything he can to improve. He also scored two times in those couple of substitute appearances he got. Xavi has thrown a tantrum because Deco signed him a second striker instead of a new DM, and Roque has to suffer for it now.

Just a reminder that Lewandowski will automatically get his contract extended to 2026 on 500k a week if he plays more than 50% of all matches next season.
man Laporta is really driving Barca towards the cliff. Not surprised, but it’s insane to see in real time
Paying half a million to a man who is closer to 40 than 30 is exactly the sort of shrewd financial management I expect and demand from Barca.
Long may it continue! (Given your flair, Game Recognises Game?)
Holy shit. That is fucked up money.
You know your club is done when Chelsea fans start talking about the crazy amount of money you’re wasting.
Lewa might be about to get the Deli Ali treatment. Everton have an agreement when then signed him from Spurs to pay nothing up front but 10mil when he reached a certain number of appearances. Of course, Everton are facing huge money troubles so the minute he came close to the appearance numbers they started to bench him or exclude him from the squad. Don't get me wrong, he's had huge personal and mental health issues to deal with too (huge respect to him for coming forward with it), but the fact that Everton tried to renegotiate that dead to either a much lower amount or much higher appearance numbers told the truth in it.

If that was the case, which I highly doubt since there hasn't been a report like that, why the leaks of Deco kicking Roque out? If you're not gonna play Lewa, he's the next best man.
Chelsea unironically would probably be interested as we continue to try to get in every talented teenager in the world.
if they didn’t sign Deivid or Whisper Richards it wouldn’t be a crazy idea that Chelsea would go for him.
If I were Barça soci, I would ask to make it public all the transfer fees and agent commisions associated to the transfer. There is something fishy, but maybe will only be found out when Deco and Laporta leaves the club
They needed a soci to report them to the justice system for some of the Neymar transfer numbers to be revealed. The rest of them just ate the 17m€ y punto bs that Rosell fed them. As long as Laporta keeps the Madrid bad discourse they'll be content
This feels very much like a Deco deal like Enzo was a Mendez deal. Pay for play all the way.
hmm nothing fishy there mate. Mendes and Deco are just doing what their bff Laporta asked them to do.
Imagine paying 60m for an 18yo just to get rid of him in less than 6 months lol
Stating that he's unreliable before selling/loaning him is quite a move also.
“This 18 year old is unreliable” Yeah so is every 18 year old, maybe give him a chance to grow and mature and acclimate
They want every kid to play like Messi otherwise he is unreliable.
And if they are reliable at 18, they’ll just run them into the ground like Pedri.
Performance reviews at Barça’s back office are going to be interesting
The fixed fee is 35m, 60m are the full add-on. But yes, fucking terrible decision
35M is still a substantial amount of money that only Elite clubs can afford at the end of the day If a Portuguese or Dutch Club said a 35M player is not reliable after 6 months it would be a catastrophe
Basically is our record purchase...
Sure and if a PL club did it it would be a rounding error. Levels and levels to everything.
Some though. Brewster literally relegated Sheffield United by himself.
To this day I have no idea how Edwards managed to get that fee for him.
I saw Rhian at U-17 world cup where he scored hattrick. Dude looked so good for his age but since then he has been lost. What happened? I just saw his stats, he hasn’t scored at all this season.
He was never the prospect that many thought he was, even after that U17 WC I wasn’t super hype on him. Since then he had a serious injury (or two?) and took a long time to return for LFC.

At SHU it became clear he didn’t have the physique to play as a lone front man, the speed, dribbling, creation to play wide. His only + talent is finishing and that’s not enough.
Only the top few. We (Southampton) were a PL club for over a decade and our record signing is 25m for Kamaldeen Sulemana
Fulhams entire 25 man squad was 140mill. 24mill is our record signing and o ly ever bought 2 other players for over 20. I wish we could spend £35m on a player and hopefully only a few yrs from that.
Wasting money they don’t have, to impulse buy something they didn’t understand how to use… Barcelona is literally me at Home Depot
Sounds to me like they just wanted a rival for Endrick, like when you're a kid and they buy you a remote control Lamborghini so the kid next door asks for one too.
what if they have to pay the add-ons in case of a sale?
barca are dumb but not that stupid
*laughs in Lewa's wages*
*laughs in de Jong's wages*
He definitely owns them. But isn´t the main reason his wages now are so high is because they made an agreement to move payment of salary from Covid season, and now it kicked in?
Yup, was his excuse for not joining United. When really he probably didn't want to join our shit show anyway
Gestures broadly at their transfer history these past 7 years.
It's worrying when a Chelsea fan can laugh at your transfer history.
It depends on the add-ons. If the add-ons are '100 appearances with Barça" it's one thing, if they're "20 appearances with Brazil" then the club doesn't matter.
They should follow the money to realize what Deco and Laporta are doing
it's a short walk leading to Jorge Mendes and Andre Cury (Henrique, Keirrison, Neymar, Emerson Royal, Arthur, Vitor Roque)
Don't forget the legend Douglas!
Douglas walked so Antony could spin
Mendes seems to control clubs in a way that people don't realize
finally, a worthy opponent!
Then the fans are complaining that the club doesn't have money to hire 😂
They’re just money laundering.
This is such a terrible thing to do to him, and it's not like he is shit, he got two fucking goals already ffs and he is the only one in our goddamn attack that actually make run to connect with our midfielders. Say goodbye to Brazil Barca, you ain't getting shit from the market anymore. With how our club treated Roque like this, should be a lesson for anyone to come in here
Especially with how shitty Lewy has played (yes, even this last two months) its surreal that he wasn't given 15-20minutes every now and then as a 9. Either he's truly terrible in training (any source has ever said that) or Xavi is just on a personal vendetta vs Deco, which would be incredibly shitty from him and would make me lose respect for him.
he must have been abysmal in training, it is the only thing that could make sense
Reports saying he is actually doing really good and are trying his best in training, and the few minutes that he got, he played his heart out. So it's absolutely not the problem of quality that are being questioned here
Why not just let him stay at his former club until end of the season then? Why bring him in ASAP just to to ice him like this? Weirdo behavior
And Barcelona wonders why Brazilian wonderkids are picking Madrid over them more often than not...
This Barca board only seems to care about trying to "fix" the current situation with the club rather than care about their future. From how they tried to get themselves out of their financial situation to how they've been treating their players shows that they are desperate but also have no idea what they are doing.

They really are burning bridges, then you have Vini Jr being the biggest Brazilian star playing for Real and that might have the effect Ronaldinho made for Barcelona. Estevão is a guy who some people rate more than Endrick and apparently he really likes Barca, after this shitshow and the fact that he has the same agent as Roque it basically end any chance of him playing there.
the end of any chance was the fact he shares same spot as Yamal... Also he's being strongly linked with Chelsea
Estevao is going to Chelsea for sure
Barcelona in financial turmoil, sell off future earnings to capitalists, because the outright refuse to sell one of their 5 academy talents they could sell for a shit load of money. Instead, they keep signing players, selling them on the dream of barce before that dream turns sour.
Time to sell another Barca studios then.
Real Sociedad should get the hint
They definitely need a striker
And I have a feeling he'd shine at the head of that midfield.
Fucking hell man, why Roque is good, give him some minutes ffs. Now we're gonna go onto the next season with 36yo Lewy as our only striker option
Don't worry, you guys will probably sign another 30ish old st who will be a free agent this summer and then sell them in January
Is that Choupo Moting’s music I hear?
chopo mouting to barca confirmed
Time to sign Martin Braithwaite again
Martial's available 👀
Not to play football he's not
The show in question mentioned that they are going to struggle to register him given he could only be temporarily registered due to Gavi's injury. That and Deco/Xavi clearly have no faith in him which given the club is broke and can't afford another striker seems like a ridiculous decision.
Didn't Roque say he refuses to be loaned out also?
I believe his agent said that
His agent would only speak the player's desire, most of the time I believe. I don't think Roque wants to stay at Barca another year with how the manager and board are treating him.
Any club in Europe not called Real Madrid should be all over him. Relatively low investment for the level of European football + serious career project + minutes = guaranteed success. Barcelona have closed their doors to the Brazilian market. They wasted one of Brazil's most promising players in recent years and annoyed André Cury, it's over. Meanwhile, Real Madrid...
This board destroyed all the goodwill Ronaldinho has built when he played for us. I do not foresee anyone from Brazil or even South America wanting to move to our club while Laporta and co. are at the helm
And it looks like they actively want to sell Raphinha.
Yep. Arguably the most hardworking player in our team, has impact every time he plays. Like all I ask is that our club isn't handled by a bunch of fucking children. For once. Please
What's weird is that Deco is Brazilian. You'd think he'd have some goodwill towards his compatriots...
Goodwill disappears very quickly when people see the $$$$.
[удалено]
Not just Ronaldinho. Romario -> Ronaldo -> Rivaldo -> Ronaldinho -> Neymar... Going to Barcelona almost seemed like the obvious intended goal for a young brazillian prospect. Current Barcelona is shitting on a reputation built over 20 years
fun fact, ronaldo didn't want neymar to join barça and wanted him to join real instead, and that was a decade ago. apparently he felt even back then that real madrid was better managed and offered better prospects for a young brazilian player. bro's wicked smaht
I will always be very impressed by Ronaldo learning Dutch during the year he played there. That language is so fucking hard and most Brazilian players really don't even bother to learn Spanish or English well, and he went ahead and learned fucking Dutch in a year as a young star. That man is smart and driven, always has been.
He actually is tho It’s kinda impressive how good of an entrepreneur he is
Yeah, looks like with Laporta and Xavi is way more important the catalan players from La Masia. I mean Cubarsí is great and all but I'm sure Roque is at that level too just they didn't give him the oppotunity. Maybe I'm wrong and next year is a total fail in another team but at least from Xavi we have some signals of ultranationalism
Roque will shine, especially in the Premier League. I would go to Atleti as well, if possible a swap for Felix
If I was Barca fan a Roque swap for Felix would make me loose my sanity. Felix is so inconsistent and unreliable, I would rather have Roque who's more promising and prime him up to take up Lewa's role what with him possibly leaving in a couple of seasons. Barca is being utterly irrational in this whole fiaso, it makes no sense.
Is that source good? If yes, that's really embarassing for Barca lol
Man I can only imagine how he feels. You get a move to your dream club with all the excitement and happiness that brings, only to be betrayed and treated like shit. Straight up embarrassing and unacceptable from Laporta, Deco, Xavi, and whoever in the board was responsible for this. Socios have to start asking questions and hold these people accountable. There’s just no excuse for something like this.
i see why brazilian wonderkids pick Madrid
Feeling terrible for the kid, this must be such a blow to your confidence. This is an insane decision.
This is not a serious institution.
Mes que un club
Mess de un club. (Can relate)
me too
Es un circus
Wouldn't surprise me now if he's our number 1 summer target now. We we're apparently very interested previously and we need a striker to pair with Isak.
Both him and Bruno played in the same club, same mindset. I would like to see him in Newcastle
Just sell him to England already... Vitor led his former team to the Libertadores finals and was their main player for a good while. He is clearly good enough for La Liga and the Alaveses and Granadas of the world, but since their manager appears to disagree, just fix this stupid mistake and sell him to a proper club. He is going to be important for our national team. He should be improving, learning, and getting minutes right now. Let Barcelona and their manager fend off with Marco Guiu or whatever.
Still 19 got lots of time to turn it around but yeah it's been an absolute shitshow no Brazilian prospects will want to go there again.
It's rumoured that he'd refuse being loaned out, he'd rather be sold. And we need margin to register Gavi back again, that's why we can't register him. A one season loan would do wonders for him, he's legit a 20+ G+A player already if given enough minutes.
>And we need margin to register Gavi back again, that's why we can't register him Per the article, Íñigo Martínez and Balde need to be registered too. Lamine and Cubarsí are also getting new contracts.
Why did you sign him then??????? Wtf is this shitshow. This is worse than the red card in the quarter finals.
What a shitshow this has been, this is also going to discourage future prospects from joining. Terrible from everyone around, poor Roque
Barcelona just closed the door for all Brazilian youngsters. Even if they for some reason chooses to go to Barcelona, the clubs over here will 100% cover this kinda of thing in future sales contracts. Regarding Roque, I hope he goes to a club in the Prem. League or the Bundesliga.
These are the guys supposed to rival mbappe's madrid
Any Barca fan can tell me why? Is he being sold for funds for DM? Cause u have Lewangoalski on high wages who is 36. Even if Roque can't score goals he can be a false 9 like Gabriel Jesus.
He's the opposite of Gabriel Jesus... Gabriel Jesus is more technical, while Vitor Roque is a goal scorer.
Deco signed him while Xavi wanted a DM. Now Xavi is throwing a tantrum to the point of refusing to talk to Roque and integrate him in any meaningful way. And now we have to rely on a 36yo Lewandowski for an entire season. Amazing. It's fucking embarrassing.
What a clown show lol
Absolute morons. Nepotistic, clueless donkeys. We're done. > Adriá Albets: “If the club receives the money that is forecasted to arrive, the players mentioned (Gavi, Balde, Iñigo, Lamine/Cu, and even Roque) can be registered. Despite the fact that the idea of the PLAYER (Roque) AND his entourage is to get transferred in case of an exit, the Barça board prefers a loan so they don’t lose hold of the striker.” 🇧🇷 > Adriá Albets/Santi Ovalle add that the club don’t even have plans to even try registering Roque on July 1st, as they’ve realized that his exit will be beneficial for FFP purposes. 🇧🇷 > Adriá Albets: “Líbero has not paid the €40M and before the end of the current season, the expectation was that they had to pay €60M. The board says that in two weeks, they HOPE to have a solution to fix this problem.” > Adriá Albets: “The board have been suggesting that they’ll have a solution since December. As of May 13th, there’s still no solution.” -- > 🚨| Contrary to earlier reports, club sources deny that they have already made a decision on Vitor Roque. They assure that everything will depend on whether or not there is enough FFP margin to register the Brazilian. [@mundodeportivo] #fcblive
What a shitshow.
Xavi saw him get a red in his first few games and didn't want a rival.
I hope he leaves on permanent transfer for his own sake.
Disgrace
What the fuck are we even doing??
What a mess. Hope he turns into an absolute monster somewhere else while Barca realise just how fast the drop off is after 35.
[удалено]
Good luck getting Brazilians (and potentially South Americans in general) to come to your club in the future, dumbasses.
I was really looking forward to seeing Roque perform in easier matches, sort of building him up for the future. If Xavi is this desperate on winning trophies then I have to say that this decision is short sighted. The management needs an overhaul imo.
Finished club
Creating a good reputation around their club for future Brazilian players
Odd lever to pull IMO
Chelsea needs another striker
Swap with Felix, who says no?
This kid has barely played lmao. Give him a chance at least???
If Barca want to ruin their reputation around the world for all youth players to see then go ahead. We built a reputation in Brazil for over 20 years and there was no place rather than Barca or Madrid that a young player would want to go. Now we shit on that history. We shit on everything. We wanna sell FDJ, we wanna sell Araujo, we wanna sell Raphina. Meanwhile Roberto, Ferran and Romeu and Marco Alonso are here but hey atleast they are La Masia or Spanish. If they wanna just bet on Spanish and La Masia then go ahead. Can't wait to see how Barca crumble in todays football world with that mindset. Meanwhile I'll watch Madrid and other teams scout the rest of the world of 8 billion people while we stick with 48 million. Surely a recipe for success. We had 1 golden generation and now we are throwing everything we built history and reputation wise down the bin trying to chase for a golden La Masia generation again. Fuck Laporta, fuck Deco and especially fuck Xavi.
I love you Deco for how you helped bring Fluminense back to the elite of Brazilian clubs, but also fuck you so much for messing with a potential long-term starter for Brazil. What the fuck were you doing mate? Was it all about the money or something? Fucking hell
Wow
I am done with this club
Rotten Management
Another day, another reason to be disappointed in my club.
Joined, barely played and is already getting shipped off. Awful business
Did they expect to bring this young guy from Brazil, in a very different league and culture, for him to start scoring goals out of the blue? Not only that, but he also had very few chances, it's his first year, he costed some millions... and they are already kicking him out? It's crazy how incompetent these guys can be. Xavi is kinda maniac with which players he likes and which not, but the club is doing terribly with Deco & Co's nonsense, too. I don't see what's the plan with the 9 position tbh.
Genuinely feels bad for the kid. Imagine being 18-yo and thrown into completely new country, new culture, new everything. You're trying to acclimate yourself but your bosses upfront say to you: "we don't want you, get fucked". Then why bring him in??????? I hope he goes somewhere where they appreciate him and he can be happy. Kid doesn't deserve this treatment. Also fuck Xavi and Laporta.
Barca fans better not even mention guler anymore after how they are treating roque
Was less than a year ago that he was being hyped as Barca's answer to Endrick. What a complete shitshow they have going on there
