Barcelona should date its history of deals with "before 2014 and after 2014 ″, so why this year was golden for Barcelona, ​​and how did I waste more than a billion euros in six years on players who did not get fat or starve?"

In that year, Barca signed Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez from Liverpool for 83 million euros, Croatian Ivan Rakitic from Seville with 18 million euros, German goalkeeper Mark Andre Ter Terje for just 12 million euros from Borussia Monchengladbach, and the three are still the main nerve of the team after the passage Six years to contract them.

After this year, the team spent ten times the total amount spent on the three players to make deals, in which the money was substantial and did not add or contribute to winning titles.

Barca from 2014 signed 32 players, including four last summer, and spent one billion and 100 million euros, and despite that, the current team is the worst in the history of Barca, specifically since 2014, the contract with Suarez, Rakitic and Stegen.

And the failure in the contracts was clear, because it failed to find a successor to the players who made history in the Catalan team like Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Danny Alves and Javier Mascherano.

Players such as Antoine Griezmann, Felipe Coutinho and Osman Dembele who moved to Barca with astronomical numbers, either failed to fill the void left by their predecessors and did not provide a level justifying the value of their transfer, or that successive coaches on the technical crossbar of the Blaugrana failed to properly employ and integrate them with the team.

It is interesting that the players coming to Barca were first-class stars and the most prominent in their teams, but they disappeared with Barca, some of whom entered Messi "djellaba", and others were either loaned to other teams or suffer from injuries and falling levels.

It is not just the right of the coaches, most recently Kiki Sittin, whose team collapses during his reign and may win out of season zero titles.

A detailed look at the numbers shows that Barcelona has always been losing in the buying and selling of players, since since 2014 the team has been spending more on buying players than they need to do without them, although it sold big names and a financial budget such as the Brazilians Neymar, Arthur Millo and Chile's Alexis Sanchez.
