Wanna know why? Because barca are fantastic at scouting and grooming youth, they horrid at major transfers, they have been bad for the last 5 years or so. They also have no patience either, they didnt need Fabregas, they needed a CB but they did it anyway. They didnt need Ibra they had Eto'o but they went ahead with it anyway, **** David Villa is the exact same age as Eto'o if they had never gotten Ibra in the first place they could saved themselves a truckload.
Mini rant aside its because they spend stupid amount on players they do not need.
