Basques pay their top players well. He will leave but not yet.

It's natural he wants to have another chance here. We will have to beat that idea out of his head though. And drill in the idea that the best chance he has of that is to go away to a much lesser side (yes lesser than Brighton, or rather the perception of Brighton at the beginning of 23/24) and...

Didn't even know she was still going. Hespect.

It's funny how Klopp and Xavi both announced they were leaving, results picked up immensely- and then they both blew it in a week or two. Goes to show that both saw the wheels were falling off and the hail mary could only give a short term bump to the caravan. Thomas Tuchel, you ugly little...

Barcelona B play tomorrow. He is gaining more prominence so worth a watch for those who want to see more of him.

You can't unfortunately. Just pressure tactics and saying not part of squad. But the club already showed their weak hand on those issues with Frenkie and Dembele. No point loaning paying part of wage as he has productivity and is valid when on form. It is what it is. -Einsteino Valverde Tesla...

He would probably do alright. You got Iraola in 10th, David Moyes in 8th, and then 3 of the top 4 made in LaLiga with the top 2 made in LaMasia.

He needs to go obviously. Overpaid and underdelivered.

Doubt he wants to leave. Thing is 11 goals and 4 assists for your backup/rotation wide forward are good numbers. Just as he was getting good, his hamstring gave out and he has been atrocious since. Story of our season really. And last, where we had an atrocious run of injuries.

Yes. Because of injuries and thus consistency. Both have missed over a third of LaLiga season each. Frenkie will be more now with his injury having out for the rest of the season. And after bailing out of all competitions in typical short termism are being judged on their rushed back into the...

Pedri and Frenkie have played their best football under Xavi though. Just that this season Pedri has missed 14 LaLiga games with his recurring injury and Frenkie 12 so far with his.

Big shoes to fill. Or is Klopp playing 4D chess by leaving on a losing streak to lower pressure on Slot. ;)

I suggested Pochettino, Haag or Flick as assistants for Xavi. But fuck that. Imagine if we got Mourinho back as his assistant. Epic meltdowns guaranteed. Film the season and it would be the highest rated sports season ever. That's how you sell Barca Studios Joan.

I think Xavi might favour Guiu.

Nobody watches Monday football until Monday comes, it's 8pm and you got shit to do.

It's a shame Xavi wasn't interested in signing an experienced assistant like Flick, Ten Haag or Pochettino.

Well with Xavi staying and LaLiga over. We will know where his allegiance lie. I feel that the biggest losers with Xavi deciding to see out his contract will be Faye and Roque. I think both would have seen more opportunities with Marquez for example.

This is one of those I have no clue about. Clearly a huge fee for his age, but then Bilbao have a limited signing pool. The way Villarreal have looked this season, and how we have brought players through with higher pressure, you might question if they should have given him some first team...

Deco, Laporta and Xavi squashing a lil Birdy.

I think if Botox Xavi has another good season that we will go for him. Provided he doesn't move on to United as per latest rumors. As Xavi said when talking why he stayed, "we are all born in Barcelona". Clearly the priority around this club. Be born in Barcelona, or find Barca DNA and then...
