Hansi Flick admits he's 'not happy' with Barcelona's registration problems image

Hansi Flick addressed the media on Friday and as expected there were questions about Barcelona's registration issues as Marcus Rashford and Joan Garcia are yet to be registered. 

Flick admitted that he's "not happy" with the registration trouble but clarified that he "still believed in the club" 

Garcia should be able to be registered sometime later on Friday with the salary freed up by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen's injury. Rashford will apparently be registered with a personal guarantee from the club but it is unknown when he will be registered.

Still, it's concerning that it's taking this long to register your starting goalkeeper so late before the opening game.

As for Rashford, I'm sure Flick would've preferred to have the English forward as an option in the absence of Robert Lewandowski. For now, it seems like Ferran Torres will be getting the nod in the starting striker position. 

The registration issues have also prevented the exit of shot stopper Iñaki Peña as he's the only goalkeeper registered as of now.

It's understandable why Flick is unhappy as his second season shapes up to be tougher than his first season. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have improved and Barcelona won't be the underdogs anymore. 

Of course though, he won't put registration issues as an excuse as that's the mindset Flick doesn't want for his team and complaining about those issues is what got Xavi sacked.

We will see when Barcelona can register these players as it shapes up to be a typical Barcelona fair play saga.
