I didn't know rakitic had such a bad attitude problem, it was supposed to be one of his strengths. first his awful lazy performance, then this party bs. he needs to be dumped off to inter this summer. he is holding back the team. vidal can fill the "workhorse" role.

Madrid are better run than this club and it's no surprise many players would prefer going there. Barca could face some troubles getting targets, I'm actually surprised they pulled of de jong and probably de ligt. As far as I know real weren't in for them though.

The implication of his statement was also that he “respects” black people but would prefer not to share a dressing room with them. So he could be a low-key racist.

he's surely better than suarez, that can't be denied. and in today's market it's a very good two or three year solution while barca works on its long term striker plan.

I don’t know about Xavi as coach, first he is friendly with too many of the current players, second his statements on football don’t inspire confidence, he said seri was a great player,

you are delighted that barca lost the game.

get ready for the passing of the torch boys. tiki taka back at barca.

It will make our two Ajax players hungry when they come to barca, not strolling in with a complacent attitude

I get all that but the structure of Barca is to have a sporting director deal with all of that. Managers only got to influence transfers once they gained credibility after winning a CL. As much as I’d like to see that happen it probably won’t.

To be fair to him isn’t think he (or anyone else) is downplaying the role of the manager. In fact he was saying that we just want a new manager, when in fact most want a new manager and the squad changes that come with the new manager and his ideas, this team needs both and they hand in hand.

I know, I just said I (and others) want a squad shake up too, because Wolfe was implying that we just want a new manager and that’s all that’s needed.

Well that’s true, but nobody is saying that. If the replacement is poor it will be same. Also people are wanting a personell shake up along with the new manager. A truly new era, like what pep did when he first arrived, getting rid of Ronaldinho and deco.

The board need to actually make the changes. Also I think a ruthless attitude could send a message, by dumping a few seniors this summer. Barca can learn from that Madrid attitude. While in this particular case I’d keep valverde until the end of the season, a bit of ruthlessness wouldn’t be too...

My idea was to get a manager who is like a mentor and can teach the game to the youngsters that will be making up the new core of the squad, and having a clear vision for getting the team back to playing the Barca way, but having s guy or two like Vidal around for experience and other style of...

You’re laughing now but you just had lopetegui and solari. Luckily for you zidane decided to come back. Let’s not forget Madrid will end the year trophyless, and were also pumped in CL.

Setien is favourite to be next manager at 2/1 according to oddschecker. Roberto Martinez second and Xavi third. Koeman fourth. I don’t like any of those choices. Xavi would give the old guard a pass and while he’d play Barca way, he’d be too dogmatic. Setien and Martinez are jokes.

I think suarez, rakitic need to go. ideally busquets and alba too but I doubt they'll leave as they are cantera and we know barca likes to hang on to those players no matter what. Coutinho could salvage himself under a new coach, but I have my doubts, better to cut the losses on him and move...

Bartomeu has to be bold and get rid of some of the senior players. Madrid are one year ahead in their rebuild and are poised to have a big spend this summer. complacency can't continue. he has made good transfers overall recently but this is a test of his presidency. edit: it goes without...

vidal can walk away from the game with his head held high imo, and he absolutely should stay as a good player to have in the squad. he is that "workhorse" player for use in certain scenarios, our new Keita. I have defended rakitic in the past and I have bashed him in the past, my stance on him...

yes let's have an echo chamber where everyone has the same views. this place will be like the Islamic republic of Iran
