How did it come to this? Barcelona's transfer window explained

Sergio Aguero, Eric Garcia, Emerson Royal and Memphis Depay all arrived early as a new squad took shape and optimism grew. However, it soon appeared all was not well.

BARCELONA: Barcelona were full of optimism and hope when the transfer window opened, when new president Joan Laporta was saying all the right things. Fast-forward to September 1 and fans and pundits alike cannot quite believe what they have seen.  Sergio Aguero, Eric Garcia, Emerson Royal and Memphis Depay all arrived early as a new squad took shape and optimism grew. However, it soon appeared all was not well.  Without those players, their wage bill was already astronomical - over 100% of their income and LaLiga's Financial Fair Play regulations meant they could not register their new arrivals.
