The end of Xavi at the helm of Barcelona could very well be the end of a Barcelona that is in any way competing with Real Madrid, I'd wager we will see Real win the next 10 championship without much competition at all. We may see the odd 80+ points season from Barcelona but I think the days of...

It is more important for a keeper in Barcelona to be mentally strong than great in the goal box. Is this Giorgi guy mentally strong?

This is what all big clubs do in all leagues, every successful club in England has done this, from Guardiola's Man city to Ferguson's Man united. Even before Shankley's Liverpool plundered other club's in England and before him Busby's United plundered other clubs for talent. And Herbert...

This has got to go down as the dumbest post in the history of this forum, you have reached new heights.

There is quite literally no top manager for Barcelona to go after, given the economic disaster that is FC Barcelona, the club is probably less attractive to take over than any top Premier League club. The hope is Laporta out in a future vote of mistrust or that he outright resign. A new election...

Even without the deferred wages, FC Barcelona has always paid wages above the market to lure stars to the club. The big difference is, under Nuñez they always sold the big stars before they ballooned the wage bill to the moon. The sad truth is that since Gaspart took over in 2000, the wage bills...

I say let Xavi finish next season, go all in on Klopp as his replacement, the guy has bough a house in Mallorca. If the club offer him a helicopter so he can fly in for the training sessions and the matches, he can live there away from the insanity that is can barsa. The team is full of vertical...

It is sad they did not include the designs from the 1980s, some of them were quite spectacular, once of the proposals had a ginormous grandstand built over the main stand, with 16.500 seated. If it had bee built Camp Nou would have had 115-116k all seater capacity today.

Guardiola left the club twice because of how toxic the enviroment around the club is, first as a player and then as a manager. Hell will freeze over before Pep return to the club in any capacity. The closes thing I could think of is he might do a Johan Cruyff gig and help out a future president...

Sounds like the french description of the toilet seat design of their national stadium. Florentino just could not accept being overshadowed by a french toilet, so he asked for a modern take on the bidet and ended up with that monstrosity of a pussy washer, just so he could one-up them.

I think the biggest mistake was to not allow natural light in and instead turn the stadium into a bloody bidet, he has turned the stadium into a pussy washer :lol:

Not a chance in a million years. Simeone is the best thing that has ever happened to Atletico de Madrid, anything short of giving him a lifelong contract is criminally stupid. But of cause, to understand that you have to know the history of the club and how Spain function as a society. The...

The stadium will remain UC for a long while after the partial opening. All they will do is the bare minimum to meet the legal requirements to allow paying customers inside the structure. Interior fittings, the 3rd tier and the parking structure will come later. Basically all they will do is...

So Arsenal is a better example then? Only outspent by the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea since Ferguson left and only achieved 4 FA cups. Before this season Arsenal had not played in the Champions League quarter finals since 2010. Remember, in the same time period Atletico de Madrid under...

Or you can follow the lead on Manchester United who over the last decade has churned through 6 managers and spent 900+ million pounds net, winning 1 FA cup and 1 Euro League. By a considerable margin the most expensive trophies won anywhere on earth. Spending over 1 billion euros to win a FA cup...

You are throwing rocks in a glass house, At Madrid just took the FIFA club world cup spot from FC Barcelona and the 50 million price check for qualifying. Also, they are almost qualified for Champions league football for the 12th consecutive season. Simeone may be the highest paid manager in the...

Ideally, they sell Yamal and pay off some debt, in reality what will happen is all the money will be blown on useless dimwits that are overpriced by 200%. The possibility this will end up like the Neymar for Coutinho and Dembele disaster is highly likely with the current idiots running the club...

Real is the last Spanish team in Europe and City will turn them into kebab. La liga is no longer the league it used to be, only stupid and lazy players choose Spain over England nowadays. Given the extraordinary levels of corruptions in Spain, the league is over before the season has even...

He is lazy and comfortable, his choice was the mickey mouse league over the best league in the world. Today 2 teams out of the competition and tomorrow Real bye bye. No Spanish teams left in Europe in any competition.

Bellingham has won so far a german cup, that is all. This season he will win a spanish league with a Real Madrid that did not even have to compete, in fact the league was won by Real Madrid in pre season, the rest of the teams have been AWOL for the whole season, especially the only real rival...
