We have triggered nassers rage. He will now buy a Barca player.

A backup left back is needed, unless they plan on playing cucu. A backup striker not named paco. Right back situation is uncertain but see how semedo and Roberto pan out. Also one more midfielder is needed

I wonder if it’s a controller or a workhorse

Barca were not always naive in their playing style. They combined necessary elements of physicality, work rate and defensive while playing an overall attacking style. 2006 team had forwards that did defending like Larson and giuly, workhorses like van bommel and Thiago Motta. Post pep there is...

Keep him, remember Xavi had injury issues early on and patience was rewarded for Sergio Roberto

I think he’s an overrated coach and simeone achievements are more impressive, but I will give credit where it’s due for some ideas he introduced.

He added new ideas to these areas. Like a philosopher that built on the work of previous philosophers.

Pep did some innovative things which have changed football at many levels not just top level. Teams press better than before all over football for example. Build up techniques etc.

I see you haven’t changed mate

Oh no, what will we do now

I want the talking ball

He would complete the transfer window imo. He might be slow but he is one of the best controlling mids out there and the final piece needed (ok right back is still a question mark). Better than rakitic at controlling a game. If Barca are keeping the ball better with this guy in the middle and...

Messi doesn’t bother to press and neither does Dembele. Suarez tries to but has lost some physical attributes.

Dembele needs competition. I actually don’t mind either player. Willian is good cos he can start straight away, experienced, can defend. Malcolm is good cos he’s cheaper, allows another signing, high ceiling. I’m actually worried about Dembele, his attitude is poor so far. A truly great talent...

Well people can’t complain about not buying young talents now, that’s all barca do these days

So he is similar to Ribery

Willian is back on, he can play on both wings and works hard in defence, more experience.
