It makes economical sense. His worth is higher than 12 million euros. Think how much Athletic Club would ask for Iñaki Williams, for example. Or Celta for Iago Aspas. We can reasonably expect a similar performance from Deulofeu if he keeps focused like he has been for Milan. That's the big if...

I'm talking from 2004-05 on. Rijkaard even trusted him as a DM pretty often. DM! No, by then, Iniesta was a very solid player. Iniesta was never about "hero dribbles". Still not the player he became with Guardiola, but not the joke some people are pretending him to be in order to make a further...

Roughly speaking, Iniesta was our 12th player during those seasons. I accept the premise of him having a role similar to that of Sergi Roberto, but in my opinion he was already a more influential player than Sergi Roberto is while he was three years younger, and, more importantly, there's no...

Thanks. I tend to give more weight to the words of Roberto Martínez than the speculations of the culé media.

Utter rubbish. Even when he was coming as a sub around the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons, the Camp Nou used to cheer him with great enthusiasm whenever he came on as a substitute, game after game. The crowd loved him, because he brought that spark to the midfield. Rijkaard even played him as a DM...

Iniesta was a sub for a long period of time. In fact, until Deco left and Guardiola became the coach, he was not considered a starter, although he had played plenty of minutes. Yes, he was already impressive when he used to come on as a sub during the Rijkaard years, even as a DM, but he made...

Top La Liga goal scorer. Not bad, as usual. Not the greatest Messi, either, but that's more than enough to influence the game both as a playmaker and a scoring machine. Yeah, yeah... :thinking: not bad, not bad... :thinking: Humm... :coffee:

This clause makes sense but I can't find it anywhere. In fact, the culé media is speculating about buying and selling him this summer. Where did you get this information?

Humm... not. sure.

15 days only? Great news.

I didn't imply anything to the contrary, and yes, Cucu is more than ready, if he decides to stay. In fact, in a very short period of time, he has become one of the most consistent and interesting players of our B team.

Short players are more likely to have the balance you're talking about, but in my opinion, that's already one of Aleñá's qualities, so I wouldn't worry at all about that.

Maybe not at as talented as an all-around football player, but potentially a better LB, in my opinion. He has a better balance of qualities. By the way, that game against Eldense is under suspicion, to say the least. The Spanish police arrested 7 members of the team today, including the guy...

I was about to mention the possibility of him playing in a 3-4-3 formation. He would be perfect. And of course, 4-3-3. I would spend big money for a guy like him. That should be our priority. No Cancelos and Bellerins, please. This guy is world class.

Get him and Roque Mesa.

I wouldn't mind him taking over. Next season.

Yeah, Oblak.

What do you want him to say? "What a shit player we bought, I hope we can sell him for half the price this summer"?

All the histrionics and hyperbole about how awful some of our players are rubs me the wrong way. You can argue about whether Alcácer was what we needed, whether he was worth the price we paid, whether he's adapting to our system, his current form, etc., but all this gratuitous bashing of players...

It would be silly to deny that Bellerín has excellent footballing qualities based solely on the fact that City and Barça are trying to sign him. World class is a big stretch (in this context, a strawman). That said, I'm not convinced at all with the idea of bringing him back.
