I'm liking Freixa more than Benedito. Strange that when Laporta mentioned Mino Raiola no one talked about his commission rate. Laporta only smiles and mentions names. He's relying too much in his own charisma and among the candidates seems the less invested in the club right now.

Yeah, both are from the Canary Islands. :pique:

That's because his work rate is insane.

This season will be tougher. It will be a shorter season because of the Euro, and there will probably (hopefully) be more games since we will play 6 competitions. We need depth, we need Pedro.

It's shocking that he doesn't speak Spanish. He needs to improve that, and he'll have plenty of time during the first half of the season unless he keeps living surrounded by people who speak Turkish. Aside from that, he seems like a very likeable and charismatic guy.

Yeah, I'm excited already. Besides, all three teams have very demanding and competitive coaches. It's looking good.

I would vote Freixa.

I kept wondering after reading this. How do you contrast intensity with work-rate? What do you mean, exactly?

Whose defeat? What defeat?

Not even CM creative ability. He's just not that kind of player.

:lol:

With Guardiola attached to it I read "baldly". Pros about Arda: he's proven in La Liga, he's a very competitive player, technically great, great dribbling, great short passing. I think he fits like a glove.

These stats show that we don't really need a bigger stadium.

So we should sign Alexis Sánchez again? :p

Why? What has he done to deserve our interest?

I've seen this argument innumerable times. In the end, this is like asking why are you happy when your team wins. After all, you win nothing and your life stays the same. Reasonable fans of sport clubs care about how the money is spent because spending money has consequences for the club they...

That's so populist it's not even populist. It's like watching a bad movie with plot twists you just can't believe. Same with Qatar / Unicef. He has a gold mine there, but his criticism is so infantile it's hard to take him seriously. I know politics is a lot about getting across simplistic...

So you think it's a good thing to give the coach what he wants... Wait! No, you don't? :huh: Agreed. Laporta was important and overall our best president to date in my opinion. But with "club morals" you mean his business in Uzbekistan? Or maybe spying? Or squandering on jets, tickets...

He's very good. He can perfectly bench Iniesta or Rakitic. The collateral damage is our youngsters, particularly Rafinha and Samper. They have a chance to prove themselves in the first half of the season.

Not the smartest thing to do. Maybe he's making some rudimentary inductive reasoning: the best way to play for Barça is go to Sevilla first (Alves, Keita, Adriano, Rakitic and Vidal). But seriously, there seems to be a very good relationship between the two clubs, and that could help maximize...
