'Johan Cruyff would have been ashamed': Dutch legend Van Basten criticizes Laporta for sale of assets

FC Barcelona

M. van Basten

I don't understand how people approach business, Barca was over 1 billion in debt, a story we know all too well, to settle accounts a bit, Barca had to sell 49.9percent of (not the club) a small side hustle that Barca has and 25percent of our Lalitha TV rights which accounts for less than 10 percent of our club anual income by quite a lot, how is this not a good deal in people eyes, 
of course we still need a sporting project cos we need immediate results to get in money to offset those, we can't win any major things with our last season squad so we bought players, a lot for just 150m, these are good deals so why are people talking shit, did they expect Barca to just wait and our debts will disappear ? I don't understand people and if dejong wants to stay, let him do the needful if he wants money, let him go where can pay him such, that is life

jules blaugrana

Then him and his family should borrow us 1 billion...

Niiyyii

Enough of this nonsense from the Dutch. He should rather tell us the way to run the club rather than blow thrash. Advise your Dutch players to reduce their wages because the team is in crisis. He’ll be disappointed in your players not contributing to the success of this club. He better shut up

Titus Bamfo

am sure barce will win 🏆  more title this season am sure an believe in my current barce

Osman Turay

What was the problems of this peoples

What was their concern for god sake

How could you be taking PARACETAMOL for any man's headaches 😅

Daddy Bolaji Mabub

Foolishness, what’s the of assets when you are a mid table team. The value of those assets will depreciate over time.

Moses 

Hi Folks, we have to endure and  acommodate all  insinuations, comments,and 
condemnations .
Many are not happy seeing Barca team being revamped and resuscitated for good. Their prayer is to see the collapse of the team.
Shun them, and let the Mgt and coaching  crew face their job with all seriousness and sincerity of purpose with the view to prevent those Idiots from laughing at us. In essences lets be result oriented. The La liga   appears to  be very competitive this season.
Wish. us good luck

USMAN ABBA

I hate people who criticise but have no solution.

joseph weah bonsu

I feel this might be true we’ll be enjoying today but maybe it wouldn’t be the same as tomorrow 💔🤷🏻‍♂️

Nii Vybraytion

They were happy with our bad financial status and now thinhs start going on the right direction and they are scared. Tha s all. kkkkkk

Vindo Bodona Oliveira

Shut up abeg... Why wudnt you talk since... Cryuff wud do the same to bring the old glory back

Zeemann

They will never understand and we will never make them understand.
 Such is the mystery of life, you don't have to understand everything.

Dmayor

How the heck was he expecting to generate the revenue…. Cruff will have arrested Bartomeu himself… another stupid comment a useless man….. 
look at how Bartomeu signed players on high wages and collapsed the club…

Nana Kojo

I see people criticizing while offering zero alternatives to the problems.

Would you rather we rely on La Masia only and remain uncompetitive for a decade? 
Cryuff would be more ashamed when we become a mid-table club, and the same Dutch contingents will criticize Laporta for not finding solutions to the club's downturn.

Anything you do, people will criticize, people will talk.

Laporta has a board, he's answerable to them in the end, can't just take unanimous decisions of course. 

Van Basten is just an armchair critic.

Justice Jide

That's why Xavi cannot afford to gamble. The stake is too high for any form of experimentation. If Barcelona can win major titles this season then next season things will gradually return to normal for it is absurd and awkward at the moment so please support Xavi no matter what  because he is trying to rescue the club with president Laporta by taking all this huge risk.

GoalBeat

if it were you I think you would sell even the pitch too nonsense

Oppong Charles

Let them say what they like we're still Barca only the best is good enough for Barca they must mind their own business and leave us alone enough is always enough haba!!!!!!!

Anthony Jackson

Is Johan cruyff the owner of Barca, he also a manager like all managers. why is he going to tell us what to do. Haters everywhere.

Bashir Oyebade

He was "guilty" because I became a fan of the milanese devil.

ildottore

I don't know how and why dutch people sleep in the same direction...van basten of all people..instead of them to be blaming bartomeu ...laporta wanted to reduce or eliminate the debt...what's the point if u r having money in ur account and u r poor

barca addict 007

and so fucking what?
is Johan cruyff the owner of Barcelona?
all of them should just shut the fuck up .

Benny

Selling the club's assetsikw this, is going to Barca like any other club, it chips any at our clubs philosophy and uniqueness.

rosario rosario

Yes he would be ashamed but not at laporta instead at the way the club have been ran for years till his return

CHRISTOPHER OBETOH

Oluwafemi Ajayi

I don't know why the Dutchess are tackling our club, tell ur country man De Jong to lower his salary then you can't and you expecting the club to be paying one person to be paid money that other clubs will use to settle up to five players
I urge you to go and have your sit

King Emascon King

Desmond Kamara Samai

please Xavi, don't mind this toothless bulldogs, they cannot coach. the club that is almost collapsing with the previous management?, And now we met an Angel to help to restore our joy. you are there making nonsense comments. it like this Netherlandians are becoming Barcelona haters just because of F. dejong, Depey, Dest. plus our formal coach Mr Colman. let them beware ooo.

Sunday Nnaji

What will he say about Bartomue?? Everyone should just fucking shut up, mind their business and stop criticizing this man

Juan999

Let this Van Basten guy pay our Debt of over 1B or let him shut his ass up
Rubbish

Jimmy Maurice

Marco please kiss Cruyff for us when you see him and mind your business

Ojeaga Othniel Believersministry

I don't have problem with what he said but my concern is signing new &!fine  players and not been able to win trophies. that will be bad business

Akindigbesi Oluwafemi

Did u say "win many titles"? And u start with a draw at home against Rayo, with all the stars in the team? Oh oh oh, I know the cause; may be, what's lacking is Silva....hahahahaha.

Muebari Emmanson

Too much talk but they never provided solution. if selling of assets will help bring back the Glory. carry go

D' Governor 

Mr Van bastard or what?

what would you have done if you are in his shoes?

talk is cheap... Gary Neville family

Koresky 1
