    Nico Williams

    The part where he (his agent?) realized he can't come again this season is not justified. Reports earlier this week stated that La Liga and Tebas has us on 1:1 I am happy his huge wages are not gonna burden us, but let's be real: something else is at the bottom of this here. Maybe the guy can't...

    How many European Cups/Champions Leagues have Barca thrown away?

    True, but it is not so even with Barca. Only 2009, out of the CL wins, one can argue (even with some doubt) Barca should have gone out earlier. All the other CL wins (at least post-2006, I can't talk about 1992 as I was not old enough to follow) we were the best team in Europe, hands down, and...

    How many European Cups/Champions Leagues have Barca thrown away?

    Correct list in general. I would say there are 3 levels: 1) 11/12 was the most suicidal. we were levels above the rest and we would have smashed Bayern in that final 2) 09-10, 15-16 he had the team to do it, but we did not take it as seriously in the KOs 3) 18-19 we were not as good as people...

    Barca kits (new 2025-2026)

    OK, they got the color shades CORRECT this time! That's something after so many years of tinkering around with shades that are not Barca's The design is problematic, both the messy gradient, but mostly IMO it's the panels. We are not Arsenal to have panels, stripes should ALWAYS cover the...

    Club World Cup

    Real stand no chance against PSG under normal circumstances. I say this because we know in football anything can happen. City went out to Al Hilal the other day But I also think Dortmund can pose them problems. Bigger bar than Juve

    Club World Cup

    Well, you watch Messi against fodder MLS teams, so in that context the abilities he still has get overblown, while the ones he doesn't do not appear to be a problem. I waited for the PSG game to see, after 2 years, what's his level against top opponents. Simple... All the players you mention...

    Cherki is a baller, but he is also: slow sluggish, lazy off the ball, cannot play direct football even when needed and indisciplined in general IMO he is not at the level to play for an elite club fighting for CL and the biggest trophies, like City.

    You know I don't give a flying fuck what majority in here thinks of me. I am not running for president to need to be popular. Thanks for engaging, I also engage with you because you at least try to debate, and do not resort to cliches Now to the point: - I posted a clip that in the first 3...

    Club World Cup

    Yes, Reijnders-Rodri is WC duo at 6 and 8 position But Cherki or Foden cannot rise to the level of KdB or prime Bernardo. Bernardo himself gradually reminds me of Messi declining. He has the same technique and intelligence, but his body is limiting him... Gundo, of course, is also washed by now

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Ah yeah.. And in his search for 'anti-Barca fans' he conflates Barca with Messi, sometimes with Xavi, and sometimes with Fatporta :lol: LEVELS...

    That. On my book, 25-30 on the books per year is TOO much IMO

    Dude, listen: you are getting tiresome because you can't admit you were wrong and keep avoiding answering a specific point. You asked for specifics, I provided one clear specific: his ability to run via dribbling in tight spaces versus many people. That was trademark Messi quality. - I...

    Nico Williams

    WTF is this answer? Your argument supposedly was that Nico does not play for the elite, whereas Olise does. I answered that Olise also played for Palace and was top-notch And you are uttering nonsense. Decide what you want to argue first PS: I am not saying Nico is bad. I am defending Olise's...
