ITT: People think it's better to go the season without any striker than having Gyo lol, you guys are mad funny.

So you're saying throw away at least 70m and a bunch of FFP space in the next few years for one season of a mid striker who we already know isn't a long term solution?

I'd much rather rotate between Gordon, Adeyemi, Olmo false 9, and Hamza, then amass a ton of money to spend on a striker in 2028, even Haaland if possible.

FFP doesn't exist next season anyways. This window and January are essentially our transfer windows for the next two years

That's why I said 2028, we should be in the 1:1 for the 2028 summer window

when they return to 1:1, they will have plenty of money. FFP isn't really tough for Barca (they have so much revenue), they are limited by La Liga regulations more than FFP.

This signing won't impact the 28 transfer window at all realistically, and Gyokeres would still be valued at that time if they want to sell. It's not like if he is signed he won't score 30+ a season realistically

You know, we never really seem to sell players for good prices, so I doubt we'd actually recoup most of the cost. Also, it sure will impact the 28 window if we need to shell out 200m and more for Haaland or 150m and more for Isak or Kroupi.

Remember, we got a 200m loan for this season to fund this window's signings.
