    Ronald Koeman

    It's not very clear but I think it's Nimes Olympique in France. They were 18th when the league was stopped last year.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Bartomeu wanted to offer a lifelong contract to Messi & that after finishing his football career he would be the club's image. Messi did not want that. Between ticketing, merchandise, sponsorship, etc, Messi generates about ?300M.@SiqueRodriguez @AdriaSoldevila Surely this can't be true. I know...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    It's going to be tough for the new board. Bartomeu has destroyed the club finances.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Brighton)

    I remember reading something last week that the interim president, tusquets said that we can buy players in January but we would have to sell first. So I don't think it matters if the new board isn't in place by then.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Brighton)

    Shame he got injured, he was playing like one of the best in the league. His injury probably increases the chances of us getting depay in January.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Do you have real proof Tata was cucked by Messi. There is just as much stories on both sides. How can you know for sure?

    Lionel Messi - v7

    We can come with arguments for and against. We don't know the full story. What I don't get is serghei has this idea of this narrative, when there is just as much stories for and against. Or did he have special access behind the scenes. Let me know if you did @serghei. If that's the case I'll...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Using your reasoning that koeman cannot speak freely as he coaching Barca currently, do you believe setien spoke the truth the other day now that he has left Barca? If setien can speak freely now he has left, then using that reasoning, Tata can now also speak freely. Or is it different as it...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I'm not talking about tactical issues here. I'm talking about Tata living in fear that, if I don't please Messi, he'll get me sacked. That is what serghei believes happened at Barca. Why would you want to live through that again?

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Don't bother trying to talk sense with Serghei regarding Messi @Rory. He has this idea of messi in his head and will use anything that agrees with his narrative, while dismissing anything that goes against it. I don't know what type of relationship Tata had with messi, but using some logic it...

    Erling Braut Haaland

    Lewandowski has good ball control but I wouldn't go as far as saying he is a decent dribbler. If you look at his stats I'm pretty sure his dribbles attempted would probably less than one a game. As for haaland, I think most Barca fans would want him. It doesn't matter what we want though, it's...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Tata Martino denied making those comments about Messi threatening to get him sacked. Who makes up these stories? https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20201108/49322709135/fc-barcelona-barca-martino-messi.html

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Brighton)

    It's a shame he got injured, just when he cemented himself as a starter. Hopefully he comes back okay. Our recruitment has been so bad that an 18 year old has become one of our most important players.

    Neymar Jr.

    Neymar to Barca is finished. I saw a couple of reports last week that he's negotiating an extension to his contract. It's better he doesn't come, he would only stunt Ansu's growth anyway.

    Erling Braut Haaland

    He doesn't need to learn how to dribble to win the ballon dor. Lewandowski would have won it if there was one this year. He just needs to go to a CL winning team and score around 50-60 goals and he should win.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He can still be very useful to the team. Messi has by far the most football IQ in the team. Even though his body has slowed down, he can make up for it with his speed of thought like the dummy yesterday. It's clear to see that our defence is shocking with or without Messi. Betis had 3-4 good...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Koeman, given his history and status within the club should be able to bench Messi if he wants to. He must have talked about having full control before leaving the Holland job. Messi definitely needs to rest. Every player wants to play all the time so it's the manager's job to be able to manage...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Messi isn't to blame for still being at Barca, the guy wanted to leave. It would have been best for everyone. Barca still act like he is by far the best player in the world so will offer him a new contract. The only way he leaves is if he doesn't extend. The new board are going to tell him...

    Clement Lenglet (loaned to Aston Villa)

    De Jong did the right thing. Pique would have definitely bought him down. He did a similar thing against farencvaros when we were winning comfortably. Our defence is too weak. Every attacker that plays against them looks world class.

    Antoine Griezmann

    Both would have been sellable if it wasn't for covid. It will be extremely difficult now. Clubs don't have much money for transfers and if they do, they won't want to spend it on 30 year olds. Then you have their high wages to deal with at a time when clubs are looking to reduce their wage bill...
