Lampard is 20x more quick witted than the rest of his generation. Terry probably won't amount to much as a coach. Gerrard is a bit more stern, but...

Ziyech behind Werner is going to be nasty. I can see both stacking up big assists + goals numbers. Chelsea is going to be an entertaining team to...

According to Oriol Domenech Eric would join if we are willing to bring him back.

But football ability is vital in every context. You just can't leave it out, as it is the no1 criteria for keeping or selling players. Anyway, I...

The reason Pep shipped him off wasn't strictly football-related. I made that very clear in my post. He had his reasons. Whether he could have done...

Great club for him. Young fast team. Good coach. Not to much exceptation

He was almost perfect in some areas of management, while obviously flawed in others. The great thing for him is that he was so great in some key...

Agree, no manager is perfect, but Pep at Barca was as near to perfect as you can get. If he’d been more lenient we wouldn’t have been as successful.

Comparisons with Yaya Toure, Ibrahimovic and Eto'o are off. Eto'o was more quality, more key player in big games, was a Barcelona legend without a...

He's had issues with his adductor for several months now. Club keep saying it's nothing and only discomfort. Hopefully they aren't screwing it up.

The thing is Eto'o did everything that was asked from him football wise. Messi - Eto'o - Henry connection was running smooth like butter handing...

You mean like Sir Alex Ferguson, Gregg Popovich and Bill Belichick? Eto'o might have been a good team mate, but he didn't react well to authority...

Eto'o was absolute class. We would've been the first team to win 3 CL's in a row with him. Pep strikes me as the type of guy who isn't "chill", wants...

The return of the KING. :pique1:

Subscribing to Barca TV+ or getting the CULER Premium Membership is definitely a good way to support the club financially, as you pointed out, all...

pain hope

Messi is expected to return to training tomorrow. It's ruled out that the Argentine forward suffers from a major injury and everything indicates that...

Chelsea seems like a good fit. Abraham as second striker.

dwight yorke was the very same thing under SAF and he got shipped. all i'm saying is you're pointing this out in Guardiola when in fact, other...

lol no.

Nonsense. Professional footballers have to buy into a team concept, Samu was a great many things but he was best when he played with a chip on his...

Would have won 3 straight CL tiles with Eto'o instead of Ibra or even Villa (as much as I liked Villa, he's not the instinctual striker Eto'o was)....

Arthur seems to be in great shape. Looks slimmer and quicker. Hope he will stay fit. Started the season great then started to get injuries and...

Ibra pushed too much too early, in a punk nasty way. Ibra is different than Eto'o. Eto'o had a completely different status and weight in the team. He...

That's what happens when two stubborn and proud people clash. But in this case, the manager must see the value that the player brings to the team and...

Agree with Serghi, Pep didn't know how to deal with the players early on in his career. There's a reason why he failed to accept Eto or how to desl...

One of the stains on Pep’s time here for sure. How can you sell Eto’o!

Yea, we're lucky that, even though the squad is old, it is filled with quality players. That's why I would like to not sell anybody. Just use the...

Except when the club have budgeted for 124m in player sales in this financial year and only sold Malcom for 40m so far, which means, that it is...

Smart move from RM. Meanwhile we're buying another 100m forward we don't need.
