    Hamza Abdelkarim

    News from bein and Filgoal (Egypt's top football site) are both saying that deal is very close and that Barca latest offer is fairly satisfactory. On another news, he just picked a minor injury an hour ago in a meaningless league cup game

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    If you can't afford 40M players, you can't afford 12M prospects. It is as simple as that regardless the strength of your scouting department. Being broke affects those chesp signings equally to the expensive ones. There are no scouting in the world that can guarantee a sure thing, and you...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We were interested and got outbid iirc. It is always difficult to warrant splashing 12M for someone before he is in first team.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Matteo Moretto said Barca is eyeing a young CB in the next window, he said he will reveal the name(s) in the next few days. It could be typical bs, but he is fairly reliable. The "young" CB that were mentioned in the media before were Luka Vuskovic, who we practically has no chance to get, and...

    I didn't watch enough games tbh, but everyone I know who follows it is saying it has been a blast and very entertaining.

    Hector Fort (loaned to Elche)

    WTF, he was finally getting his form and doing well. I hope he recovers well and continue from where he was.

    Pedri absolutely doesn't lack intensity, whatsoever, like it this is a total bs. He is the total opposite of that. It is the same bs that was said about Xavi in Rijkaard days. He also has very good speed for a midfielder. Torres doesn't lack either, he isn't a standout but he doesn't lack...

    Deco

    Soft is a nice term by casuals, but it really describes nothing. Niether Ferran nor Pedri lack speed, athletic ability or strength. Other than Lewa, Barca is a fairly athletic. We are also fairly physical team. Raphinha is a physical demon, but there are few of those in any big teams. Maybe...

    Deco

    It is a problem once we are pressed, we lack players to get out of tight spaces tbf beside Pedri and Lamine and to lesser extent Frenkie. Defense specifically is an issue here, even Cubarsi isn't that good once he is pressed, he is good in making it someone's else problem rather than getting it...

    Deco

    That is a valid concern, Barca historically treated defense as an afterthought. However, the one thing that gives me glimpses of hope is the J. Garcia deal. the club could have had an out with Tek and MATS but focused on securing a GK. I agree with that, Barca has a problem technically and...

    Deco

    We have a fairly solid starting Fullbacks all things considered. Nothing fancy, but likely around top 10 in their positions. We aren't going after a starting LB or RB. Kounde had solid December and might be back to where he was last year. Blade lacks same end product, and dome defensive lapses...

    Deco

    Attack lacked depth last year tbf, as Pau Victor and Fati were awful. We couldn't rest players due to that. Roony and Rashford are miles ahead of either. Now both Rashford and Lewa have no contact for next season, so some work is needed to retain that level. But signing a Lewa replacement, and...
