With at least a WC fullback, CB and 9 + alright winger backup AND some luck we could win CL for sure. The PSG vs Bayrn match was all out attack and Bayern or PSG will destroy whoever they face in the final - we play the same way with Flick, but we need just a little more quality and backups. Right now if Yamal is injured we can kiss a CL goodbye.

This is important point. Barca always attracts purely technical players and neglects the muscle. We absolutely need at least 2-3 players with strong physics and thug attitude to allow our magicians do the work without being suppressed. We had that kind of balance in the past both with Rijkard and Pep. Now there's mostly midgets and oafs.
Balde sucks. Kounde at least is decent, but needs more rest and somebody to compete for his spot. Gavi sucks. Roony sucks. Casado sucks. Ara we don't really need if we get another decent CB.The extremely painful departure is Balde.Except it's not painful.
Rest of the team are starters or rotation/backups... Fermin/Olmo are doing good and should rotate for the CAM spot. Pedri is a starter. Yamal starter. Raphinha starter. Cuba starter. Cancelo backup (we need another LB). Kounde maybe backup, but better to sell him than. Bernal great squad player. Eric great squad player that can play in 3 positions. Raphinha starter. Rashy good sub. Martin actually getting better and better, but at least a great squad player that can play CB good and decent on LB. Tuna hot and cold, but more than alright as a squad player. Joan starter of course. Lewa is leaving, so we need a 9 of course.

Probably wouldn't get much for him at this point so doubt it.
Nah, I agree - but some might feel it would be painful.

| Raphinha: "The journalist who wrote that article about the possibility of leaving also wrote other things about me that were false, he said that I met with the club, and that I internally spoke about my hesitation, and that I don't know whether I'll stay or not at BarçaThat person does nothing but lie, every time he publishes a story, he has to delete it always, or almost always, the things that come out of his mouth are utterly trivial." #fcblive

One thing I noticed about him is that he's always crying and whining about something, always with the victim mentality. Journalists talk about me, Xavi substituted me, they didn't give me the Ballon d'or, always crying about refs... Such a fighter on the pitch but a crybaby off it.

Personally I have nothing against an extension, but only under one condition. A highly performance based contract. He'll be 30 this year and the first thing players lose with age, are their stamina and legs in general, the biggest strength of Rapha. If we give him a new 5 year contract with close to 20m/y salary without performance conditions, the club will do the same mistake as with the amigos. So as long as he's still highly important and plays on the level, everything is okay. But once he starts to run less, get more injured, his salary should follow accordingly and then it won't hurt to bench him if necessary.
What a terrible performance yesterday lol. He was clearly the worst player in terms of technique out of our midfielders and attackers.
I don't like when he does stuff he cannot do, this happens especially when he's at RW. He is not the typical left footed RW who can do wizardry on the ball. Could dumb it down to that we want him to have the ball as little time as possible. Pass, cross or shoot, and keep moving.

Someone caught on. Everything I have been saying for seasons now.
