    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    We win another league title with this defense, and imo likes of Raphinha, Pedri, Yamal and the other offensive players go down as legends of the club already. CL, or no CL.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Was more like 25 if I remember well, but even that should have been accepted. It's even worse if you think the Bayern offer from before was serious. A bit similar to Yerry Mina. Araujo had a period of maximum rating and we should have sold then, like we did with Mina.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Agreed. He should be sold or nearly permanently benched for the mediocre player he is, not abused for god knows what.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    This whole idea about anxiety is overblown. It always get reducted to how good you are. It maybe counts as something like 5%. A great player who is shy and has anxiety problems is going to always be better than an average player who doesn't. It's just how it is. Anxiety manifests and is a big...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    The CB options are basically tragic. It's so bad, that the back-up fullback that was a complete nobody last season is a candidate for our starting CB position and defensively seems arguably the most capable in the entire squad. It's absolutely hilarious.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think it could be hard to land a player like that, Schlotterbeck and Guehi will look for a contract that sets them for life, very very high wage most likely and potentially signing on bonuses. I am willing to accept not being able to secure an expensive player, but I need to see something done...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Reselling makes sense. Like how we leveraged our club's stature to sign Todibo on low cost. I think those signings are very good and make sense. But they are still higher profile talents whose lower price is very contextual. I don't see much chances to make money on players who are cheaper not...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Our only notable products in decades defensively were Pique and Cucurella, no? Players who went through our ranks and became top defenders. But the key part is both had a lot of their development done to reach that level outside of the club. They probably learned a lot in EPL defensively. I...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Yeah, but if the potential is not judged with A side in mind, then the point is what? Land many of those tier C or D talents hoping we somehow get lucky? Or... what? Improving the B team so the players there have more quality around them and maybe promote to 2nd tier?

    Chelsea

    Agreed. Some quality here and there, but they're a wild bunch. Hard to get that team performing week in week out for anyone. Don't think Maresca is losing any sleep over this sacking tbh :lol:.

    Pink stripes suits their divers well. Smart choice by Adidas.

    Another cheap shot in the dark is where it's at with this deal.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Flipping players is always a legit secondary objective and a good fail safe, to recoup the investment in case the player doesn't adjust and doesn't deliver the expectations for whatever reasons. We can make some money out of this in some cases. Lower level teams don't have the pull to get these...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    What does it mean the deal won't be easy for example. Almost every talent you're impressed with won't be easy to get if you do your job right and the talent is there. If we are impressed with some young player, you can be sure the club that discovered him and developed him is even more...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We need a mix of things, I agree. Always said Lewandowski was a good transfer despite his big wages because we got a guaranteed scorer that still had plenty of goals in the tank even if he was 33 when we got him. However, we also need to land at least one of the bigger younger talents in...
