The same Spanish press is half Madrid and half Catalunia. Xavi had more press backing than any other Barca manager in the last 30 years.

Tbf that would have been golden. He would be eaten alive in the EPL. Press would have a field day.

In the case of Frenkie it's no short termism. He hasn't evolved while here and he's been with us for 5 years now. Pedri also shows the same flaws as he always did.

So good that most fans want them both sold. :lol:

What's interesting and a subject I see no one approaches is the fact Xavi hasn't improved any of the midfielders that we have. For a former midfield maestro that's quite an underachievemnt.

Nah, most players will come in regardless of who is manager. The money, the city/weather, stature of the club are bigger pulls than Tata Martino or Xavi asa manager. Sure, the very best players, like Mbappe, will have their pick. But anyone else will always dream of playing for Barca.

There is so much stupidity in football that I wouldn't be surprised they would want to hire him. He'll probably get a job somewhere else, but once he gets found out over there, it's over.

Those two are sucking each other off.

But I thought he was baby sitting Busquets all these years...

Yeah, we're good with Cancelo + Balde, sorry about that. :zubi:

Luis Enrique and Xavi are both bums. Not any better than Poch, Ten Hag, Flick etc.

League is done for next season with Mbappe and Davies joining Madrid. Aside from internal squabble between Vinicius and Mbappe, I don't see them not winning. Courtois is also coming back. CL we won't win it, get real. Not with the squad we have. So that leaves us with a chance at the Copa...

Is this an extension or he'll just continue on his existing contract?

Xavi just said that his staff is magnificent :lol:

So you approach Klopp telling him what? We want you to sign with us a 3 year contract. We know Xavi is still at the wheel but don't worry, we'll fire him by Summer 2025? Yeah, Xavi for 3 more seasons, his world class football is worth it.
