This is a clear picture of selling your future just to finance the present and an indication that they cannot afford to fail.

My biggest problem now is that Laporta doesn't seem to have learned much from the Bartomeu debacle, he's putting everything on the line hoping that if Barca starts winning trophies, then the big bucks will start flowing again and that's extremely risky.

I was expecting them to be a little quiet this window, but instead they're throwing money they don't have around while mortgaging their future for it. I hope they don't become another Leeds United.
