    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    All the players in the squad are transferable, with the exception of Ter Stegen, De Jong and Messi, as well as the young newcomers, such as Fati and Puig. The rest can leave if a good offer arrives, and if no offers arrive at all, Bar?a are ready to terminate contracts. [md] The humiliation and...

    Who will be Barca's next manager?

    Assume he thinks Koeman is going to walk into the dressing room, pick fights with the amigos and put them in their place. Unfortunately, more likely than not he is going to keep his mouth shut and continue starting the players he needs to keep happy to stay on the job. Unless the board gives...

    Luis Suárez

    Those players have no market on their current contracts. :lol:

    Champions League

    To be fair since Pep left Barca his teams keeps finding new ways to crash out of Europe and doing so in embarrassing fashion in many cases. Cannot always blame individual mistakes when this has been a trend across 2 large European clubs over a decade.

    Sergio Busquets

    Oh my. :lol: Every discussion on here these days devolves into the same 3-4 streams. Neither side is willing to listen to each other and instead resorts to the same tried and trusted talking points that have been regurgitated a million times already. Just save yourself the time lads and...

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    Bartomeu will announce the date of the elections shortly. [md] No need to move the election up, if that is even allowed. Next season starts in less than a month. Any new board coming in on such short notice or mid-season would be set up for failure. May/June depending on when our next season...

    CL | 1/4 Final: FC Barcelona - FC Bayern Munich 2-8

    They had no doubt from the minute we were drawn against them that they would slaughter us. -All their top club officials came out and started making arrogant statements in public taunting us -No respect for our attacking ability at all and started with a ridiculously high line -Suffocated and...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Reckon he's a bit desperate. Been sitting on the sidelines for close to a year now and the likes of United and Juve have not approached him. If we offer him the job, even with only one year guaranteed, I think he'd back himself and accept the challenge.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    No, but you can argue a large part of why the system is so broken is because every manager that inherits Leo has to build a team around him that accounts for all the imbalances his play style burdens us with. KDB can fit into any system as an "8" and will succeed. Lewa can be plugged into any...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Best player on individual talent? Yes. But being a well rounded footballer that fits into a functioning system requires a lot more than just flashes of genius on the ball. Replace current Messi for KDB on City or Lewa on Bayern and they would become worse teams by some distance.

    Quique Setien

    Agreed. No problem with that sentiment really. Both managers were put in positions to fail. But within the limited framework the two coaches had to manoeuvre, I don't think it is very controversial to say Valverde did a far better job than Setien and you could even argue he did a relatively...

    Neymar Jr.

    Cannot really tell for sure if it would have happened with him in 2018, but replace Coutinho with Ney at Anfield last year and we get at least one away goal. We would have gone on to easily batter a weak Spurs side in the final.

    Would have liked to seen that on the pitch, aye?

    Quique Setien

    Optimist going into the match. Throwing the toys out the pram after coming out battered 2-8 is justified. Mate, I agree this cycle was virtually finished (in Europe at the very least) in 2017. I have been calling out this squad for what it is for years, long before I joined this forum. That is...

    Quique Setien

    Not fit to lick Valverde's boots.

    Ernesto Valverde

    He knew. Thank you mister. :worthy: Only realized how great of a manager you were after you left. Losing on away goals and by one goal on aggregate is considered a "humiliation." You leave and we go trophyless and lose by a margin of 6 in the CL.

    Thank you for everything. Best for both parties to move on now.
