"clubs shouldn't assume responsibility for signings. why should they?"

Isn't that a bargain? 35M for the new Xavi. I love Barça fans, they are really down to earth people.

Don't say that, we can just put everything on Gomes. Isn't that why he is there? No need to shittalk The Stars just because of 4-0 defeat.

Oh boy, we can't blame this 4th goal on Gomes, I guess. He's not on the pitch. Why did Luis Enrique had to take him off?

He is absolute shit, can't believe he just let Leo lose that ball right in his midfield. What was Andre Gomes thinking about? Remind me again why Barça bought him, please.

I remember him playing more foward-thinking and a creative role in Valencia, very different from the style of play he's using now. It's almost like he's following orders, like "keep circulating the ball". As if the team has a leader who decides how each player should play. Would this fit in...

he does that in every game he plays. exactly once a game, throw the ball to the weirdest place possible. it must be a running bet he has with some friend, or something. I noticed the first time when he was at Benfica. He kept doing it while at Valencia. Just pay attention to his next game, it's...

I think it's still some form of possession football, based on short passing, but unafraid to play also direct football as opposed to being obsessed with possession, or "possession for possession sake" (what was before). It made the matches watchable to the unaffectionate. Yeah, that's what I...

That's the general misconception. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-37cRsM1_5k funny, isn't it?

Funny trivia quiz. Who really gave both Xavi and Puyol their first Barcelona first team appearance?

:lol:

My aim was not so much in the usage of the word "legacy" (that's just my interpretation of the word, "something left or handed down by a predecessor."; the same way Pep also left a legacy, even though it's gone now, due to the action of Luis Enrique) or the greatness of it, but more getting...

the legacy is the transformation (style of play). presumably it will be kept in the future, even when LE leaves. Or someone else comes in eventually and "destroys" his legacy.

Or it is for me, anyway. The way he transformed the team, from a group of players obsessed in keeping possession of the ball, to an actual team who's not afraid to play direct football and in doing so, risk losing the ball. Of course the superior technical skill of the players ends up making...

Most talented player ever to dress the Barcelona shirt. What he did in 97 was truly remarkable. Too bad his injuries..
