It doesnt matter how well he's done the last two seasons. You cannot outrun time. No amount of conditioning is going to defy biology. He's going to decline physically each year we have him starting at 34 and his joints and knees are ticking time bombs. I was all for signing him IF the price was...

40 plus 5 in variables is already more than fair. I agree, let them battle it out. Take it or leave it. 45 on Lewandowski, 55 on Raphina. Does that leave us with any money for new, effective fullbacks after registering Christensen and Kessie? A midfield signing should only be made if De Jong...

Spending 55mil on an unproven, injured and generally unimpressive Torres was already a bad start for Laporta. I dont care whether or not Xavi wanted him, it was way too much money. If we want to continue to be known a the club you can rip off, anything over 35 (40 with difficult variables) is...

LoooooooooooooooooL Get out of here already.

We have plenty of CMs with Kessie coming in. Why get rid of De Jong to buy a DM when he should have already been groomed as our next DM. He has the skill and profile to play as a modern DM for us.

Koulibaly is a very good player but he turns 31 in a few days. It doesnt make sense to spend 30-35mil on a CB when we may be able to get a very good 24 year old one for a bit more. Christensen is younger, so I wouldn't be against Koulibaly. I just see how Kounde is experienced and also a better...

Bernardo Silva and Di Maria are completely different players. Sterling played out wide for LFC when he was very young, and maybe a bit once first signed by City. Otherwise, 90% of the time he's been at City he has neither played or thrived as a far wide winger.

Morata has been shit for 90% of his career. The only reason why his career even took off was because he was standing in the right place at the right time for some shitty CL goals back in the day. Know who else looked great for Spain, Ferran Torres. And look how that has gone so far. I'd take...

He did nothing at City to warrant a sizable transfer fee. Interesting player nonetheless, we just paid double what we should have. He was young and Spanish, that's about it. Halfway through I was still positive he would clean it up a bit, adapt to the team more and improve his finishing...

Morten is a pretty reasonable poster, why kick the man when he's down? As a Barca fan, last thing I would do is laugh at another team because no one has been more laughable than Barca the past several seasons.

Like I've said several times in the past, back when LE and Pep was the coach, Barca had a top class backline and Xavi and Iniesta in their prime. Not to mention hardworking, pressing wingers while Messi was able to be lazy as false 9 at the time. Busquets always had the same severe...

It doesnt matter if Busquets is good at moving the ball around and blocking passing lanes, because he has never been good at anything else. He is slow and is caught out of position multiple times a game. Every big team we lose against targets and exposes him. Of course when we had a WC defense...

Busquet's level always relied heavily on Xavi and Iniesta. He had hard working wingers, fullbacks and two of the best CMs EVER pressing 90 minutes a game and holding 70% possession. He always had the same weaknesses, but our team shielded him from himself. Xavi or Iniesta could of gone to a top...

Xavi says we missed Busquets last game...I mean, he plays almost every game and our record has been shit the last few months. The midfield wasnt exactly cranking when he was around either. In fact our midfield was a mess until Frenkie started babysitting him every game so we'd stop getting...

Poor finishing can improve, if even by a little bit, it would be way more useful. He helps create for others too. He can't do that if he's playing 1 yard from the touchline all game. It's on Xavi to get the most out of the team and players. His current and only strategy is to have Demebele chuck...

First off, he's been terrible lately. With that said... It is quite evident he is NOT a wide winger and shouldn't be sitting along the sideline isolated all game. Dembele thrives more in that position, but even then he usually only makes things happen when he's closer to net and only has 1 man...

Yea I thought Xavi might finally be the coach we deserved. So far his tactics are shit and if he really said that about Busi then he's also straight up delusional. I'd also be looking for a way out if I was De Jong.

Most top players dont get better after 28. They stay the same or slowly get worse. Even Messi's level dropped dramatically after 28 compared to 21-26. Just because players can still play at a high level at 28 doesnt mean that they wont start to decline shortly after. We dont need players heading...

"Good" year is a bit generous. Taking on his man, banging in 9/10 bad crosses and failing to get shots on net is a pretty low bar. We can agree it would be nice to move on, if financially possible.

Like I've mentioned in the past, I dont think Riqui is anything special but some of you shitting on him is hilarious. I hate to agree with Bobo, but he does offer himself in much better positions than our other midfielders- meaning he creates triangles for passing lanes like the Barca of old...
