Ronald Koeman

You're welcome
Koeman makes these comments because he is still bitter that Laporta sacked him. Barca is among the big teams that gave the most minutes to youngsters last year, according to statistics.

We are after top old players simply because the ones that are top class and in their prime cost 100m+ or close to that range. And we already have too many youngsters who need to prove themselves.

We'd never get close to signing someone like Gundogan right now if he wasn't 33 and free agent.
We thought you died. Welcome back!

Still the best ever in my opinion. With more structure and modern fitness this guy would have been insane this days.
People tend to overhype Ramos snd Puyol but Koeman was the complete package. Jaap Stam body with Puyol leadership with Zidane shooting ability and vision. Just insane and his trophies are an injustice to his potential.
Sadly we had a short memory and tons of plastics and Laporta did him very dirty in the end.

Koeman: "At Barça I did not receive the same support as Xavi did. When they fired me, I think we were 9 points from Real Madrid and this season the difference is 10 points. You must have the president's support in order to succeed."


Truer words have never been said!
All this propaganda that with Koeman the team was collapsing in the 9th place,
whereas in fact the difference from the top was less than this season, and it was only the START of the season, when ALWAYS all teams are crammed close to one another with small point gaps

Laporta never wanted Koeman.
He should have fired him from the start if he didn't believe in him
