The Qataris won’t accept any offer due to their pride

Xavi can be a great manager but he needs time, he needs to at least be an assistant before taking over the biggest job in football. Better than that he should be a head coach somewhere. There’s still some of his former teammates here which could be a problem, and I am worried he might be too...

Bring in Steve Bruce

Thankfully he's not coming. A few members have been exposed the past few days.

How the hell is that valuable information

No surprises, the footballing public hate Barcelona. If Ronaldo had the season messi had, he’d have won the award.

That’s what I just said mate, I agree with you

It didn’t feel conclusive imo

Revenge against Inter

Dortmund are not that great, but their stadium will scare out pussies

Letting go of Todibo might be a big mistake, he has great talent

Why does everyone in this thread have “insider sources”? You’re all obviously full of shit.

Is it actually happening?

Barca needs a new coach who is good and can develop young players. Then the sporting department needs to give him the players HE wants, they need to be on the same page. Those players must be suited for modern football with the workrate and speed/strength with as much technical ability as...

serghei I’m not downplaying the role of the manager, but these top managers find use for these players because they know they need workhorse traits in the team. When I was talking about the Liverpool front three, I was bringing up the point that even the star players put their work in...

Man Walker is shite. Brainless at the back just fouls his man every time, and brainless going forward with his decision making. Pace merchant and nothing more.

I don't know much about this Havertz guy, but from the sounds of it he's my ideal player to round out the midfield. Box to box, tall, strong and decently fast. Helps defensively and makes penetrating runs. He rounds out the midfield with de Jong and Arthur. So you and I are on the same page on...

Ideally you combine the two (de Jong, Griezmann), if the guy is exceptional like Messi or Ronaldo but doesn't work then you can afford to carry him. Any more than two of those players is not going to cut it in today's football. You need almost everyone on your team working to be able to press...

That's true, all the good pressing teams have good coaches. Guys like Klopp, Simeone, Pochettino.

People here praise Liverpool and rightly so, but look down on workhorses. I get trashed for talking about workhorses. Their midfield has Fabinho, Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum - all workhorses. Their attack has workhorse forwards (all three of Mane, Firmino, Salah). Workhorse theory gets proven...
