Amazing player. We're blessed to have him. The Quiet Man.

I really, really feel Palencia has a chance this year. Of course, Semedo deserves more than a chance, especially considering how bad Aleix Vidal is, but I hope Palencia ends up being our second choice sooner than later.

Bad game. Really, really bad. Same with Aleix Vidal defensively.

Loan, I guess.

I agree.

clemente: God Serena's exact words were: "Nobody thinks they'll replace Messi and how can he replace a player who plays in Germany?" The first part of the sentence, meaning: no player thinks they can replace Messi, which was a direct reply to your "I feel like he is actually thinks he will...

By the way, I tend to think Bernabé's ideal height is around 1,70, so I'm with Messi1995 here. However, you never know. I've been following Aleñá for several years, and back when he was 15 or 16 he was a small player. I remember they even compared him to Maradona because of his curly hair, being...

Fernando Redondo controlled the ball like it was glued to his feet and his balance was top notch, Van Basten was a striker who looked like a midfielder when he had the ball, Figo is one of the best wingers of all time, and he wasn't short either. And so on. We get it, a low center of gravity...

I get the point about height, but the argument is beyond reasonable, and it isn't new: http://www.barcaforum.com/showthread.php/12359-Carles-Alena?p=1736814&viewfull=1#post1736814

Exactly. That was what I was about to say until I read your post. And I'll add: only a Sith deals in absolutes.:rap:

He really doesn't look like a defender. Good feet, agile, thin, fast... let's see. I still have no idea whether he'll be a great RB for us or a massive flop. Still, looks better than Aleix Vidal, who is a pretty bad defender anyway and sometimes I think he lacks temperament.

Yeah, I also hope Messi starts using both feet.

What are you expecting? Barto and the board with a sword running directly towards hordes of enemies, like the Lord Of The Rings movies? These things take time, there are negotiations, and of course I expect those to be as discrete as possible.

I thought Coutinho made sense as LW, not as much as CM if we want to control games. I don't get it. I'd go for Coutinho or Dembele, but not both.

Scored a sick goal today against Girona.

Fake news.

What an idiotic thing to do from a Spanish perspective. I think it was seen as income because players needed to justify how they were playing the release clase. I take it now it's considered more like a straight transfer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but officially, it's not the club that pays the release clause, but the player himself. Doesn't that make it a little more difficult, given that Neymar pays taxes in Spain? Maybe it's legit to ask where that money is coming from, given that there are obviously sufficient...

Carles Pérez.

Particularly in that position. Xavi, Kroos or Xabi Alonso aren't/weren't fast as lightning.
