The market veraniego of 2017 presented like an opportunity for the FC Barcelona, that had to face a renewal of his staff without haste but without pause, with a new trainer and a process of construction that had months to go closing. However, the excessive patience has finish being hurtful for the interests of the Barcelona, that besides have seen like the course of Neymar left his strategy touched of death and with little margin to react.

In the world of the football no everything is white or black, but the Barça has sinned during the last months, precisely, of excess of patience, or even of confidence. With several agreements reached by his aims, the most important and that has left parked has been what has finish costing more discontents: The clubs command in the negotiations. The danger to go to by players very concrete and with long agreements in force has finish arrollando to the Catalans, that have had to answer to contracorriente, with hastes and rascándose the pocket.

In this sense, the situation complicated with the course of Neymar, that left a very difficult hole to cover and 222 millions in box, a weapon of double edge that neither has been beneficial. It is obvious that the economic muscle has helped in the market, but also has forced to encourage by the knowledge that had the rivals of this renewed purchasing power.

Nevertheless, the plan failed a lot before, with the arrival frustrated of Marco Verratti and the excessive doubts in his alternative. They have contemplated too many profiles after surrendering by the Italian, and to these heights the half field continues congestionado. In the meantime, the first options have left step to some second very expensive, and although Semedo, Paulinho and Dembélé have arrived, have done it to price of gold.

Change of system

Although it is true that the current panorama of the market has changed radically, also is it that the Barça has to look for solutions to adapt what before, and more knowing that it will not be able to be each summer to the height of billeteras like the one of the Manchester City or Paris Saint Germain, that besides walk behind his stars. It touches to hit with the Masia, with the young signings and take risks cheaper, like the disastrous case Asensio, that always will hurt from the Real Madrid.

Case aside deserves the operation gone out, where the Catalan square already is reincidente. With poster or without poster, in the Camp Nou also sells fast and badly, and this is a losa that it is necessary to encourage in remedying, thinking in the next periods of signings but also in the hours that remain him to east, in which it will be necessary to resolve several pending cases. But this time, without patience.
