Well yeah, but that's 3-4 years in the future at least. Considering that we'll still have a smaller revenue next year due to the pandemic, it's not looking that good for the next 2 Years. Still better than now but I'm talking about what a competent board should have done even if we needed a...

If our finances would be decent I wouldn't doubt that we could return among the elite in 2 years max. Unfortunately that's not the case and we have has beens with contracts for several more years, that won't leave even if you threaten them with a shotgun. They are paid handsomely as well so...

Probably, not such a good generation of young Spanish players either.

Bartomeu destroyed Barca, Lim destroyed Valencia, Perez is better but not a prize either, Sevilla is about the same, dito Atletico with Simeone, Villarreal will be better, maybe. Bilbao will always be restricted by their policy of only Basque players and by the looks of it they have a mediocre...

I'm not playing down anything, I'm simply expressing my opinion of what will happen.

Did I say otherwise? I said that Liverpool are still a better team next year since they have continuity and a better defence. On paper City were favorites last year too. We all saw what happened and I believe it will happen this year too.

City won't win the league next year, Liverpool still has it in the bag imo. CL is also not guaranteed. What's sure though is that he won't mess up a tap in from 5 meters. :lol:

I see. Yeah, every side has a story to tell. Can't be trusting everything you hear. I think putting all the faith in the manager to make transfers isn't the way to go. There always needs to be a balance between the sporting director, scouters and manager.

Never heard the story. Yeah, that's fair, probably saved us a few quid on having to buy Puig back. Could argue that in the end we haven't wasted money on his salary, by convincing Puig to stay. :lol: Still, Braida probably prepares a scouting report on Pogba as we speak. Martinez has to wait a...

Braida doing work. :braida:

Yeah, my bad. Initially I thought that te amo barca meant in La Liga alone for some reason when in fact I was the first to mention "goals across all competitions". Confused everyone around here.

Yeah, that's why I said it. Koeman does God's work in clearing up the shit but he doesn't really have a stellar history in buying players. Could be good, could be absolute duds.

He could take the freekicks on the right hand side. Don't think we have a better leftie now that Messi is gone. The other side is Pjanic and Coutinho if he stays. I see him reaching 25g across all competitions if the team works well.

If I remember correctly he's the one that demanded Klassen and Sigurdson. Klassen is already gone and Sigurdson was meh. Could be wrong though.

I like your optimism and hope he gets to 30 goals. Hell, I'd be happy with 23-25 and around 10 assists. Would be a decent return, albeit still short of what he should do considering the price we paid for him and the wages he's on. He has a better platform to perform for sure. Have to see it to...

Yeah, next year. I want him to fuck off right now after securing whatever fee we get for Messi.

That's the thing I don't understand about posters around here clamoring for Bartomeu to continue. Who has confidence that these morons know what to do with the money we'll likely get for Messi? They'll buy misfits and nothing players once again if history is anything to go by. I'm afraid we'll...

You think? Messi barely reached 25 goals last year and he's miles better as a finisher than Griezmann. Better freekick taker as well. Nah, can't see it.

We'll be lucky if he reaches 20 goals over all competitions. Here's hoping though.

Well, here's another good thing coming out of Messi leaving. There's money and Suarez fucking off. Let's hope.
