He's been dreadful this preseason, yikes. He needed to improve a lot from last season, not play worse.

Oh Xavi, such a scrub. Eric Garcia over Inigo and Faye. Roberto instead of moving Pedri to midfield and playing Abde, Fati or Torres at LW. Putting in Roberto and Garcia is an absolute waste of precious preseason minutes.

He played pretty well so far. Nothing too fancy. Would like to see him run into space more when not on the ball. Hopefully he'll look more comfortable as time goes on. I was more disappointed with Gundogan, he wasn't very sharp. Game 2 of preseason, they'll hopefully only get better.

Perhaps. The point stands though that we don't have any other options unfortunately. I don't necessarily rate Abde very highly, but I need to admit that I found it refreshing to see a player using his pace on the LW and dribbling around/past enemy opposition for the first time in years. That...

You should watch Busquets during the two Inter Miami games he's played. He's gotten dispossessed in bad areas and smoked several times already. I'm just happy I no longer have to watch it in CL knockout games anymore. He's had a few nice through balls/lobbed balls though, then again Messi is...

He doesn't have to be amazing or world class to start LW for us. The simple question is, as a wide winger like Xavi wants, does he offer more with his attributes on the LW than Fati or Torres. The answer is likely, yes. Torres literally cannot dribble past his man. Fati rarely tries it and when...

Reports saying Juve offering 1 year loan with obligation to buy for 15mil at the end of it. 15mil isn't as much as I'd hope, but it's more than I realistically thought we'd end up getting in the end. I'm surprised an English team in the top 10 hasn't made an offer with the promise of a better...

Not sure why people want Silva. WC player, but he's going to struggle just like Raphinha did if Xavi sticks him against the sideline isolated all game. The famous Xavi be alone diddlling your own asshole strat.

Felix isn't a 120mil player, but then again most players going for huge sums aren't worth it either. He is much better than Torres, can actually play LW unlike Torres, and is a decent creator as well. If they are on similar wages, a loan swap would be great. If we can't swap, getting AM to pay...

"Keeping Busquets is fine. We'll sign an elite DM next season if he leaves". Ah yes. These people were 100% right, eh?

It is quite hilarious. Most players make millions, it doesn't set them apart. Going to some garbage league during your prime does. Playing in stadiums like that does. It's how fans can differentiate them, not by the millions they make. Getting paid millions to kick a ball is also hilarious...

Bro, if you don't understand the difference between playing a friendly in a packed stadium vs on a field that is next to a parking lot and has a poor inner city high school scoreboard, I really can't help you. There was no one there. Because it's a Saudi team. No one gives a shit.

Why would I do research to post about a washed up player in a trash league lmao It doesn't matter if it's a friendly or not in Austria. He's playing professional football, making 20mil a year, beside a parking lot. It's hilarious.

Lmao look at the stadium he's playing in. It has a cheap, shit scoreboard like from my high school soccer field haha Cars parked behind the net lol so pathetic, what an absolute joke

I've seen some shit on this forum, usually from the same people, but going to war in defense of the quality of Torres and Romeu is truly next level lol

You repeat the same thing over and over, and ignore the facts. Repeating the same untrue shit over and over again doesn't eventually make it right. We survived a very difficult part of the season without Pedri. Fact. When De Jong was not getting into the team due to Xavi, we were struggling...

What a weird claim to make. Pedri was injured a lot of the season and we got on pretty well without him, no? Yet when De Jong wasn't playing, we were shite. 3rd best midfielder? Hmm, I thought your game knowledge was supposed to be impressive. Gavi had a regressive season and isn't anywhere...

You don't sell your best CM, who can also fill in as DM and CB, to sign a DM and RB. You stop squandering money on shite, and use the money when you actually have it on what you need. He chose to keep Busquets, who has been trash for years now, and now he's gone 1 season later and we don't have...

Why do some of you want us to sell our best midfielder. That's not even considering Pedri's recent injury history and how Gavi had a regressive season. Our midfield and defense are looking very good, we just needed a DM. Moving on Fati, Torres or even Raphinha and bringing in the right type of...

We dont have the money to be wasting on squad options though, that's a luxury we don't have. It's a dead end signing. Not what we need. Impossible to sell next season when Xavi realizes, again, he bought a player for a position he doesn't play or isn't good enough for. Then the player refuses...
