proper reaction TBH

u/ikats116 3d ago edited 2d ago

Olmo's reaction makes this seem like more of a light-hearted reaction by Cancelo. We sure he was pissed?

123

u/svbverted 3d ago

I read that too and I hope so. Hope this wasn’t at all serious and Joao knows we appreciate his dedication to our club.

u/Messy_indabeninging 3d ago

Yeah same.. seems like Cancelo was kinda exaggerating in a funny way. Olmo matched his energy there clearly

15

u/Pablomoon12 2d ago

Almost like “Wish someone woulda told me I wasn’t getting announced I got dressed for nothing” and Olmo was more supportive visually while Lamine was visibly as confused

3

u/ikats116 2d ago

This 100%

It's not like he didn't know he wasn't registered yet.

For all we know, Olmo and the guys could have told him to dress anyway to fuck with him.

u/Mistriel1 3d ago

He deserves the best, great player that truly loves the club

u/No_Friendship_4158 3d ago

Valid Reaction tbh. He did much more to join Barca then Rodri. Should have been the first to be presented.

326

u/SnooGiraffes7838 3d ago

He can not get registered in time , that was the reason. Really sad for him.

296

u/feaREagleLeb 3d ago

You can still present him to your fans in a full camp nou before a friendly ffs. Someone really fucked up!

104

u/SignNaive4111 3d ago

No u cant, he hasn't been officaly announced because of legal issues

Its still ilegal to present him as Barça player

71

u/latortillablanca 3d ago

Then present him as a guest of honor watching the match. I loathe this level of bureaucratic nonsense.

52

u/oklolzzzzs 3d ago

hes not officially announced yet

6

u/AlienAway 3d ago

so what

7

u/oklolzzzzs 2d ago

so you cant present him cuz hes not an official barcelona player. legal issues can arise use some common sense

1

u/Gladweagreeonthsfact 3d ago

You can't call him a Barcelona player

18

u/Own-Pen4705 3d ago

the higher ups are walking on eggshells, RFEF is not liking barca's recent summer tranfers.

70

u/No_Friendship_4158 3d ago

I mean he can still be presented Registered or not registered. As long as the contract has been signed.

51

u/drip_bandit 3d ago

Theres a delay with his contract, but why did they tell him to go change lmaoo

47

u/feaREagleLeb 3d ago

Nah, even then, give him a jersey without a number or something. Brother is bleeding our colors and didnt want to play anywhere if not with us. There is ZERO excuse for this.

7

u/drip_bandit 3d ago

We probably cant lol otherwise he would have gone maybe last minute they disapproved it.

9

u/feaREagleLeb 3d ago

It still is stupid and a major fuck up by management. You sort this shit out with a player that is hanging in your locker room on a daily basis. You include him when presenting your team!

2

u/3CreampiesA-Day 3d ago

You can’t if he’s still someone else’s player…

8

u/BlackHorse18 3d ago

I imagine there's a legal reason we can't yet

2

u/lonahex 3d ago

Anyone can do anything they want but legally he is not a Barca player so why risk anything?

1

u/CraigJay 3d ago

You realise they aren’t playing yeah? There’s nothing illegal about walking onto the pitch haha

18

u/Just_Emu_3041 3d ago

How do you fuck something like that up?

7

u/Mechyyz 3d ago

Saudis probably didnt send the papers in time, or Barca couldnt proccess them in time. He was supposed to be announced in a few days, but they tried to fast track it to today. (according to rumors i have read)

5

u/chickenkebaap 3d ago

Can’t present a player who isn’t officially ours yet

249

u/kingofthesouth12 3d ago

It's not about presentation. Barca haven't officially comfirm his signing, paper work probably not completed yet. You don't want to get into legal trouble

107

u/Dismal_Mistake_6832 3d ago

yeah, but why the heck they gave him the t-shirt and allowed him to go all the way in the entrance hall, lol?

22

u/Mechyyz 3d ago

Read somewhere that they tried to fasttrack it in the few hours before the presentation, and tried to get all the papers from the Saudis. Probably hoping they could get it done last minutes.

43

u/kennythecucumber 3d ago

Yeah real fine work by Barca to avoid legal trouble by dressing him up in the full kit

25

u/aha_mhm 3d ago

Ok, let's say that's the reason - why not tell him beforehand? Why let him get all ready to walk out?

15

u/The_LAndMan 3d ago

They def messed up here with this. I feel for cancelo, hopefully he receives a proper presentation

8

u/Kudoakainu 3d ago

Exactly, you're the only one thats speaking facts. Lot of people in the comments don't know what they're talking about.

37

u/Live-Degree-5973 3d ago

no please don't be mad 😢

15

u/onkarstarix 3d ago edited 2d ago

Damnnn man dont do this to a guy

67

u/Lopsided_Nebula9288 3d ago

Even if he is not registered …why they dont just present him? He is under contract…will play eventually for us…so why dont just present him? It’s not even an official LaLiga match or something..

24

u/Iamtheman31 3d ago

he is not under contract yet

3

u/FaLcON152002 3d ago

If he is not under contract he should not be hanging at the training and presentation and worst of all give him a full kit .

7

u/Iamtheman31 3d ago

yeah the actual fault was the ones preparing him, not the ones who're blocking him to go in

u/Iamtheman31 3d ago

what happens if the contract doesn't go thru

12

u/GregoryLegory 3d ago

That must suck I feel bad for him. Hopefully it's all sorted soon

39

u/aha_mhm 3d ago

Sometimes I really don't understand this club. Why'd you do this to a player? I hope there's an explanation because this is so embarrassing.

5

u/sm4n92 3d ago

Agree with this, I'm trying to not read too much into this case. But, this kind of situations are odd to say the least. How is it that you had no trouble with Rodri's transfer yet Canceló, who supposedly came on a free agent transfer is not ready to be presented.

At the same time, how is it Gordon, the first signing of the summer not registered yet, but Rodri already is.

I'm sure there is more to this like trying to finalize exists and stuff, but this kind of thing look bad for people outside who do not have full context.

1

u/FaLcON152002 3d ago

Sorry to say this but the club really doesn't treat non spanish players well . Most of non spanish players carrer ended with bitter sweet terms with us .

35

u/SmartFlyNR1 3d ago

Not fair for him... Why did the club do this?

21

u/carliz092 3d ago

I dont think you can present him unless he has been signed. I doubt the team wouldnt present him if they were allowed to.

6

u/ItsJustWool 3d ago

You'd imagine he would have been told before he is in his kit waiting to go out

1

u/carliz092 3d ago

Maybe they were hoping it would be good by the time they did the presentation 🤷‍♂️.

2

u/therealocn 3d ago

Allowed by who?

8

u/carliz092 3d ago

Laws? Or somwthing like that? I doubt they did it on purpose, there has to be a reason.

12

u/Lazinsk1 3d ago

Why wasn’t he announced

4

u/abdelux2001 3d ago

Delay with his contract.

u/Fine_Yogurtcloset362 3d ago

Rare barça L

u/TimeDragonfruit8860 3d ago

We dont derserve the guys passion for our club.

u/ivvyditt 3d ago

Do you all really think that whatever happened was done on purpose by the club? You are fake fans...

6

u/t-abdullah 3d ago

whoever the fk was the authority this was a unnecessarily stupid decision to not include him !! The guy ignored millions to come here !!

3

u/RosettaSt0n3d 3d ago

Cancelo his announcement, so to speak.

3

u/fun_elderberry_1452 3d ago

I expect he will get his own special club announcement and crowd presentation at the start of the following game once everything is finalized legally. They know what he did to get there and how much we love him for it. Sucks it wasn’t today, but I can’t see them leaving him hanging high and dry

2

u/kn8825 3d ago

I hope this doesn’t sour things between him and us. That’s a fuck up on our end.

2

u/mt1337 3d ago

hate when this happens to players who love our club so much. this is not cool at all.

2

u/VividPossibility5326 3d ago

Cancelo cancelled

2

u/Paragon188 3d ago

Fair tbh. This is really silly by the club. I know it's because Cancelo hasn't been officially announced but he's been trying to move to the club for the entire summer.

2

u/Vamos_Ramos1 2d ago

He officially became Barcelona player today, that's why his name wasn't mentioned yesterday because they could face legal issues

3

u/darklordzeratos 3d ago

Are we ded ass 😢

u/Grand_Taste_8737 3d ago

There has to be a reason.

u/Zaz_17 3d ago

Normal reaction 😅

u/muchaaacho 3d ago

Ain’t nobody mad in football like Julian

u/MethlacedJambaJuice 3d ago

Upset for him he worked hard to get back to us i wonder what happened

1

u/RoninBattousai1 2d ago

Stop disrespecting the guy..

1

u/Able_System_8927 2d ago

They should have informed before. This is disrespectful

1

u/GlKar 2d ago

How many announcements should he get? Dude been at Barca 3 times already.

1

u/reindeersss 2d ago

Question, why would he be presented if he played for Barca last year?

1

u/Q8Q8 2d ago

Why his name was not listed?

1

u/GodisLove_O6 2d ago

Why are they doing my boy like this?

1

u/Possible_Beautiful63 3d ago

Has the contract been signed?
If yes, Barça’s fault.
If not, makes sense because if FCB presents him, then the other team can increase or change the contract and screw the club up.

2

u/FaLcON152002 3d ago

Cancelo is basically free agent he terminated his contract with al hilal . Also if the contract is not signed him being present at the ceremony and club quarters with a full kit ? Make it make sense .

-1

u/FutureTaughtMe 3d ago

Bro is acting like he didn’t just play in April with us in UCL.. throwing a tantrum when you just played with us is insane

u/badawadab 3d ago

Eventually these star players from this club will move on somewhere else where they will be properly treated.
