    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    ^^^good post mate. I really liked Estevao early videos, but since getting promoted it seems he isn't doing well. Not worth massive price tag atm but potential is obviously huge. Luis Guilherme is also a guy to follow. Very good despite being forced out of position. French league has ton of...

    Xavi Hernández V2

    Exactly. He is a top player but doesn't address biggest two needs; CDM and LW. He doesn't address biggest weakness: building from the back in high pressing games, and back up GK. He is quality, no doubt. But he is the kind of llayer you sign when you have the luxury to do luxury signing, or...

    Liverpool

    Wasn't Klopp hired before Edwards promoted to became SD anyway? And both him and Klopp had a lot of disagreements btw, there are many "theories" that him leaving is the reason Edwards has accepting this semi return.

    27 - Lamine Yamal

    Mentality only shows after the test of time tbh. It is one thing that people loves to hype so early. We have called every new kid as a Mentality monstar unlike previous generations, that included the likes of Pedri, Moriba, Nico and Mingueza. So, I don't know if Lamine has the mentality or...

    Rafael Márquez

    I would like to see him staying another year, and if Mascherano do decent job in the Olympics, he should take over him in 2025, just like he did as a player before lol. If not, I think Belletti will take over.

    27 - Lamine Yamal

    If the board thinks that guys like Messinho or I.Diarra are close to that level of talent, you pull the trigger. Or you are unsure he will honour his word and renew next year, then you surely do it. Otherwise, keep him and take the risk.

    Bundesliga

    Ragnick is a bit like Bielsa, he is one of those super clever coaches but is more of a teacher and example for future coaches, rather than the nan to have massive success on his own. His type will always attract clubs tbf. Doubt Tuchel will stay with Bayern, he will be on speed dial for first...

    João Laporta

    The guy who is supposedly taking over Romeu has good CV too, probably even better than the later. Laporta recruitment is always good tbh. It is his strongest ability. We kept other sections competitive and improved first team from where he first arrived. In business we made solid deals overall...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Brighton)

    Dest has an injury and will be out for 9 months. Lenglet has 2 more years, and did worse this season in comparison to the last one. Not sure how they look on their way out.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Brighton)

    Lenglet? Iñaki Peña? Dest? Alonso? Roberto considering injuries.

    Javier Tebas (LFP President)

    The league is just outdated. Many outdated stadiums, last one to put technology, outdated FFP rules, outdated president of the League, many clubs with outdated style of play, even academies in Spain isn't as good as ones in most other countries. And they still believe everything is fine, no...

    Guille Fernández

    Isn't his main position AM?

    14 - João Félix

    4M salary cap hit for Felix is good tbh. Context matters tbh, players like Rafinha used to have bigger cap hit. 4M cap hit is for an above average player for midtable team, or end of the bench player in Barca. Now, if this is the cost of a new loan, do it. If it is North of 8M, move on...

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    It is about the timing though. -Xavi believed in Busquets and wanted him to renew in 2022 -Zubimendi wanted to stay in Sociedad as a starter in teams with several failed attempts to make it to CL, and was already negotiating renewal. -Ferran Torres joined in January 2022, by summer 2022 it was...

    2 - João Cancelo

    Cancelo isn't the guy to play those games (PSG & RM) because he can be easily exposed in defense. He was that way since he was a youngster in Valancia. He is a guy you use to beat smaller teams in the league, and in that he is very good. If Balde was healthy, Cancelo season would have been...

    14 - João Félix

    Felix isn't a flop here by any mean. He cost us less than half a million, he has 16 goal contribution in just over 2K minutes. Those are solid number. He is frustrating player, but this is an absolutely bargain deal for us.

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    If Faye isn't him, Yoro or Hato would be a dream signing for Barca. But we have zero funds for either lol
