Mes que un club or just another club?
Over the course of the past season, eyebrows has been raised about FcBarcelona's credentials. A certain 7-0 aggregate loss to bayern Munich open the flood gates for criticisms. And a Lionel messi's injury sentenced the whole board room into tantrum as accusations for mismanagement and lack of credible replacements.

It is said that people react differently to pressure, some excel with it, others crack under it, while others simply avoid it. The next bit of business from Barcelona will make for a critical review as to whether or not we have cracked under the pressure.
Due to the heavy criticism, the club kick-start the transfer market with the quisition of the long courted Neymar, though early suspicions as to whether or not he'll perform seems a long time ago as the Brazilian has wowed throughout the soon to be concluded confederations cup.
Now, why would a mother nurture a baby right from infantry and prematurely discard the baby just before he can reciprocate the gesture? Such is the case of Eric Abidal. I know he's a far cry from what he used to be before the transplant but is he not worth having another season at the camp nou he so bravely fought to return to? If not for anything but for symbolism?
Why is thiago alcantara being allowed to go? Wasn't he the clubs future? The heir apparent to iniesta's midfield position? Or have we lost fate in the system that we created?. So many questions yet unanswered, yet so many questions still to be asked.

But one thing is certain, Sandro Rosell doesn't care for the club's moral standings, all he wants is a good competitive economic standing. Its hard to blame him really, because Fcbarca fans are highly pampered. But one major concern arise from this;
if thiago is sold to Manchester united and another player is easily discarded like Eric abidal, barca run the risk of having an influx of trans fer requests as players such as Gerard Deolufoe, Sergi Roberto and even Marc batra will look to other clubs for more consistent football.

So here's the big question, mes que un club or just another profit oriented club???
