He did very little to help younger players. If anything was seen as a poor influence around them and lambasted them constantly until he realised he wasnt the main man. Then he flipped to acting like a teenager with Yamal etc when realised he was below him in pecking order. It is telling that...

Thank fuck. Its too late but at least his scandalous wages are gone.

He got the deal of a lifetime at Barca in mid 30s and didnt out perform what Auba, LDJ, Ferran or Sorloth at Atleti showed at CF. Was always going to be that way. The salary he has been on for what he provided compared to others at CF is scandalous and effectively that salary was for 3 seasons...

Too much money spent on him. Ferran has had better stats in last two seasons than Lewas 'peak' three and scored in more important games. LDJ and Auba had better goals per min in league also. Sole CF for Barca and on pens for most part. Similar goals from open play in time at club as Sorloth...

Trying far too hard to pine for attention. Proving yourself as a dumb yank once again. Griezmann is a legendary Atelti player with top career and up there as their best ever. Simeone is the best coach they have ever had. Laugh emoji below if you are a dumb yank. Its an order.

The teams are the ones that set the FFP rules and approve them. They vote in Tebas to over see them rules being applied. This idea that these are teams that are unlucky in comparison to EPL and being held back isnt accurate and many of the bigger teams were struggling before these rules also...

Only way could see it happening is if for example Xabi took over at Chelsea and favoured a bigger striker like Osihmen and Chelsea can flip some profit on deals for FFP this summer. Other than that he is about last player could see them cashing in on along with Caicedo. More likely Joao renews...

Said it a hundred times but the main reason for Mou is that he will cry about Negreira and will link it back to his previous years. Flo thinks a lot more around Europe listen to Mou and can impact Barca with mind games. Arbeloa tried it time and again after any tough match but he is an...

He wasnt massively rated at Barca just before he broke through. Largely due to exact reasons we see now.. limited on ball unless opens up to carry it and poor final ball. While also not an aggressive defender 1v1 preferring a foot race. Always had that pace but it wasnt seen as enough to carry...

He didnt get to show it much the other night but one of his main assets is his power attacking aerial balls in both boxes. Has a a big frame and times his runs/jumps well. The best Barca have at that for now is Eric in tracking balls into opposition box but Cortes is another notch up in power...

As said on the old forum had been told that Barca and Ateltico had been discussing a deal with Ferran going to Atleti and Alavrez to Barca. Since then Alvarez stock has risen due to CL and was being said a price of around 80m was the one. If Ferran was open to it then Atleti could be as well...

From the lad who gets near on every Barca player call wrong. World Cup winner as best player. All time top scorer for Atleti and all time great for them. Dumb yank proving he has no clue once again. Backs 'losers' like Casado. Top stuff.

Different argument. Flick will not be scared to tell players where they are in his plans which was original point made. Did it with Gundogan and did it with MATS. There is nothing he or club can do if likes of MATS or Araujo decide to sit on huge contracts the club gave them.

Top player. Ateltis top scorer ever. Won best player in Spain at peak of Messi Ronaldo. Third in Balondor. Scored twice in Europa League Final as Atleti won it. Won World Cup as Frances best player. All time Atleti great if not their best.

Nine goals this season without penalties in over 3K minutes isnt great. That is without European football to muddy waters also. In the previous 4 seasons combined without pens he has 32 goals. Not great strike rate.

Pedro has played deeper as a role at AM and SS but when CF he has scored plenty in and around box.. His variety of goals is impressive.. running on to through balls, strikes from outside area. tap ins. header while link up play has been decent also.

Flick told Gundogan he wasnt in his plans and wouldnt play much fairly quickly when first arrived. Did the same with MATS last summer. Dont think he would have an issue if it is how he feels and how club feel also.

There will be some kind of help to this seasons FFP involved and effectively a short term decision to push FFP space down the road as so often is the case. Will be same reason they even contemplated renewing Lewa. There is 0% chance this is purely about renewing him going forward.

Mundo saying terms are more or less agreed on his renewal. As ever with him it is fitness. If relatively low salary as back up RCB to Cubarsi it is fine.. if he is fit more often. This could all end with no CB signed and Christensen renewed and Cortes promoted and club spinning it as their...

He is decent in air for his height and has a good strike it appears to me.
