Joan Laporta SLAMS Bayern Munich after Julian Nagelsmann called Barca’s transfer strategy ‘crazy’ | Daily Mail Online

‘They distort reality’: Barcelona chief Joan Laporta SLAMS Bayern Munich and suggests they ‘look at their bank account’ for the £42.5m he paid them for Robert Lewandowski – after Julian Nagelsmann blasted his ‘crazy’ transfer strategy

Barcelona chief Joan Laporta has hit back at Bayern Munich after their head coach Julian Nagelsmann took a swipe at their ‘crazy’ spending – telling the Bundesliga side to ‘look at their own bank account’. 

The two clubs have been engaged in a war of words over Robert Lewandowski after Barcelona finally snapped him up for £42.5million this summer after eight seasons with Bayern and netting 344 goals – with the Polish star forcing his exit after telling the club his ‘story was over’.

Fans have been shocked that Barca have managed to bring in Lewandowski – as well as four other signings – despite facing cripppling financial difficulties. The club have had to sell their merchandising arm and part of their TV rights to fund deals for Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen.

In quotes carried by the Mirror, Barcelona President Joan Laporta said: ‘I would tell [Bayern] to look at their checking account, that important money has come in because of Lewandowski.

‘What they do is distort reality. They have not calibrated the strength of Barça. To those who are surprised, I say that we are very awake.

‘We are back on the market. The weight, strength and value of an entity with more than 122 years of history is a lot.’

Robert Lewandowski joined Barcelona from Bayern for £42.5million earlier this summer

His comments came after Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann voiced his concerns about the Catalan club’s transfer strategy. He said: ‘[Barca] is the only club in the world that have no money, but then buy all the players they want.

‘I don’t know how they do it. It’s a bit strange, a bit crazy. They got a lot of new players, not only Robert.’

A falling out between Nagelsmann and Lewandowski is thought to be one reason behind the striker’s transfer. 

Earlier this summer the player declared his ‘story was over’ at Bayern as he attempted to force through a transfer.

‘My era at Bayern is over,’ Lewandowski told reporters while on international duty with Poland.

‘I don’t see any possibility to continue playing for this club anymore.

Lewandowski clashed with Nagelsmann before deciding to push through his exit from Bayern

‘Bayern’s a serious club and I believe they won’t keep me, I don’t want to play there anymore. A transfer is the best solution. I hope they don’t stop me.’ 

Lewandowski is also believed to have rowed with Nagelsmann over training ground instructions. The German coach is said to have advised him what position to take up for crosses, to which the Pole reportedly replied: ‘I’ve scored 41 goals in a season… not you!’ 

Despite facing debts of £1bn, Barca do appear to be on track to register their expensive new signings after selling a portion of their TV rights, although they may still have to sell Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay. 

However, Laporta stressed on Friday that the club were happy to keep De Jong – who has ben linked with Manchester United – so long as he takes a pay cut.

When You See the Smile of a Baby, You’re Seeing the Smile of God

by Leave a Comment

The clergyman had recently gotten word of a new assignment which would take him away from the congregation where he had launched his ministry. But before he left, he gave a sermon that I believe will always be etched in my memory.

He said that, whenever he caught sight of a baby, he believed he was seeing the smile of God.

There is something heavenly about an infant’s grin. It is an instant mood-elevator, an expression that conveys a joy that is contagious. It is difficult to nurse a frown, when a baby is smiling in your direction.

Which makes the cruelty of abortion all the more ghastly. It is an effort to snuff out a human being with a divine spark—a soul of limitless capabilities. It also severs the enduring earthly bond between mother and child.

No matter what clever soundbites the abortion industry might invent, nothing can hide the fact that abortion is the taking of an innocent human life. It creates a wound on our nation’s psyche which bleeds onto all sorts of aspects of American life. Our political institutions are compromised, our economic life drained because of the deep-seated problems that the abortion death toll causes.

LifeNews is on GETTR. Please follow us for the latest pro-life news

I recently read a bizarre op-ed piece, signed by representatives of churches that have turned against the most vulnerable among us by promoting abortion. It is unconscionable that purported “faith leaders” would use their influence to push a pro-abortion agenda

For each abortion eliminates an unrepeatable human being, and leaves a woman to grieve the tragic loss of her child. A child who longed to live, and who carried the smile of God.

My father used to ask, “Who weeps for the victim?” The question is especially pertinent when the victims number more than 63 million—and counting.

I look forward to the day when the weeping will turn into dancing—when abortion is finally unthinkable, and those precious smiles of God are protected, once and for all.

Elon Musk Is Suddenly Selling Tesla Stock Like Crazy

by Leave a Comment

Months after claiming he was done selling Tesla stock, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has sold off another $3.95 billion worth of Tesla shares, according to filings.

Another Selloff

Months after claiming he was done selling Tesla stock, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unloaded another $3.95 billion worth of Tesla shares, according to regulatory filings.

That means the billionaire CEO has sold around $36 billion worth of Tesla stock in the last twelve months, Reuters reports — a stunning selloff, and almost certainly a direct result of his ill-advised and terribly executed bid to take over Twitter.

The selloff doesn’t bode well, as Musk’s erratic leadership at the site has been far from confidence inducing. Tesla has already suffered quite a bit this year, with stock tumbling 46 percent.

Not Done Yet

Over the weekend, Musk sold another 19.5 million Tesla shares. While the paperwork filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission doesn’t directly point out the purpose of the sale, analysts believe it likely has to do with his bid to finance his $44 billion Twitter deal.

According to Reuters, Musk still needed to raise an additional $2 to $3 billion to for the deal after selling $6.9 billion worth of shares back in August.

Meanwhile, Tesla fell short of Wall Street expectations after announcing third quarter results last month. The company has been dealing with supply chain issues and hasn’t been immune to a global economic slowdown, either.

Musk’s chaotic acquisition of Twitter has only injected even more uncertainty, with the CEO going as far as to pull Tesla employees to help him out seize control of operations at Twitter.

“It looks like Musk is preparing for things to stay bad at Twitter for the next year,” Gene Munster, managing partner at Loup Ventures, told Bloomberg. “He’s preparing for Twitter to be a money hole.”

Watch: Masked bro has hilarious meltdown, threatens to fight guy who stood too close to him without a mask

by Leave a Comment

If you were afraid that 2022 meant there would be no more mask meltdown videos, we here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website have a treat! A masked bro looking to get into a fight with a maskless bro for getting too close to him without a mask. This is at least what we’re led to believe is going on based on the description of the viral video.

I know what you’re thinking. “Brodigan, wouldn’t getting into a fight with someone who was too close to you not wearing a mask…just get you too close to him?”

That is correct. Masked bro obviously follows The Science.

My man’s girlfriend was hysterical. Or, probably more accurate, my man’s girl who only likes him as a friend.

“Stop! Don’t do this! You’re going to go to jail!”

It’s remarkable that in 2022, we’re still doing this mask insanity. Or are we? Like most viral videos, it is unclear as to when this video takes place. That leads us down two parallel but equally hilarious paths.

The first path is that this video takes place within the first three-hundred and sixty-five days plus fifteen more to flatten the curve. Videos like this where wearing a mask or not wearing a mask led to someone catching hands were more common. It’s a reminder how we were then, and boy oh boy do people look silly. By “we” I mean “they.” If you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume you did not engage in such lunacy.

The second path is that this is a recent video, and the tough guy is still in full-blown mask hysteria. Living in this much constant fear, thanks to the government and the media, seems exhausting. I’d feel sorry for him if I wasn’t laughing so hard.
