9 - Robert Lewandowski

Best news of the day was seeing his stupid face on the bench after realizing he won't come on.

I don't like much things about Bumsi but I fully support if he has decided tractor and Trashy won't be here next season as things look like based on his last decisions.

He didn't look too unhappy tbh
 
Probably starts v the deep line of Getafe would be my guess.

If Flick put him on last night Celta would instantly have defended 30-40 yds higher and put already ropey midfield/backline under even more pressure.

Barca control of game yesterday was poor for most part and the passing of many of the defence and midfield under pressure was ropey to say the least.

Same reason Gavi was taken off for Fermin.. he cant play wide and cant dribble/run in behind from wide either and instant CanceloYamal both off team had none of that.
 
His status really fell this season. Last season it was almost impossible that he won't start if he's healthy, now he's Ferran's backup most of the season. I didn't see that coming to be honest.

For next season I'm sure the club will offer him a new contract and I think he could take it even if it's a little bit less money and less playing time. At this stage it's probably more important to him that his kids and wife feel great in BCN and he can still play a little and still be (over)paid. Totally understandable.

If it was up to me there would be no offer for him from Barca. We need fresh legs in the team.
 
I think it became clear to Hans that Lewa won't be renewing so there isn't any reason to play him anymore since Ferran is finally on a good streak and is potentially someone who stays for next year or gets sold so he needs to show he can still play football lol.

Surely he realised that a big part of the CL elimination was having the likes of Tractor and Trashford as options to change the tie.
 
A step back for him this season compared to last obviously.

That's been the case for a few of our players this season for one reason or another.

This season has really been more about the group than any outstanding individual player, with the exception of yamal.

Most players contributed in key moments throughout the season, I remember him scoring 2/3 very important goals in the league

Leaving with 3 league titles in 4 years.
3 competitive runs in the CL
100+ goals.

He'll look back at his time here fondly but also wondering what if in the CL.
 
Far too much money wasted on 4 years of Lewa with nothing at end of it in terms of value or ability to create FFP space with renewal.

Was always going to be the case.
 
Everyone knows he is one of the greatest strikers ever but he has become too old and slow to be a regular starter. A team like Barca needs to have higher standards if we want to be the best team in the world.

I can't blame him for wanting to leave since a team like Milan is pretty good fit for an old guy like him where the pace isn't that high. He can still be a solid 20 goal scorer there.
 
I think he has been a brilliant signing eventhough I was a bit miffed at his initial fee - however he has been fantastic at Barça despite his age and clear decline. Even against Getafe where he did not score, crucially involved in both goals

But clear his salary no longer justified continuity, especially considering he is no longer of starting quality for the club. In Serie A, he'll still be productive in a static setup for a couple of seasons. We should thank him for the contributions to some exciting football when we were really in a financial bind
 
Better be true.

Questions are :

1. How much the club can afford to pay for his replacement?
2. Who is going to be the main target in the summer? Better not be Ferran.

Can tell you that already, Muriqi for 15M 😂
