I'm not all that upset since I had no expectations for this gaffer from the beginning. At least we're not talking about how EVERYTHING is the coach's fault and how the right man could turn this current billion euro squad of supposedly world class players and supreme talents into some finely...

If you think this is bad it's only going to get much worse.

This is Griezmann and Coutinho's future career path. Both blokes may end up on loan to China/MLS for the final 1-2 years of their contract here. A transfer is nonviable for either. Dembele will run out his contract spending the time he's not in the hospital on the bench. Wolves or Leicester...

I've had the same sentiment for a while. Whenever I see other users talking about a rebuild they seem to have the idea we can get rid of every amigo but Messi. It's a romantic vision, but not remotely realistic. No new project can be started here while Leo is still here; he simply has too much...

MSG should not be an option at this point. Every other combination of forwards is vastly superior. 3 players that like to operate in central spaces is a recipe for a shambolic attack. Switch to a 4-4-2 if you have to. Griezmann should only be playing as a substitute for Suarez when he's putting...

Not opposed to Setien getting the sack, but it should be at the season's end. I said it about Valverde and the the same principle applies with QS. Setien has been underwhelming thus far, but I don't see the reason to prematurely remove him from his post. I doubt Pimienta is any better. He is...

If Barcelona don't beat Atletico Madrid and Villarreal, Quique Setien will get the sack. [cat radio]

I'm sorry mate but this is just an example of natural human psychology. Messi, Suarez, Pique, Alba, Roberto, Rakitic, Busquets etc. have won everything there is to win in club football and the Spanish players have won everything in international football as well. Setien and Sarabia are small fry...

:lol: Just resign already old man.

The rebuild will happen naturally when the likes of Suarez, Pique, Busquets, Alba and yes Messi decide to leave or retire. No President and very few managers would try to force these players out. We are at the mercy of them until that time comes. How long it takes to build the club back up to...

I would not get carried away with massive hopes for some successful project post-2021 elections. Everyone in contention for the title of President is a politician and nothing they say should be trusted. The first and most important priority for all politicians is winning elections and wielding...

Sacking Valverde mid-season was never the right decision. I think the board only really wanted Xavi if they were to replace EV before the season's end, but made a mess of the whole situation by making their pursuit of Xavi and their flight to Qatar to recruit him so public. We had known for a...

Wages. Arthur was a relatively unknown player we plucked from Brazil, therefore is on relatively low wages. Juventus are able to offer him somewhere between double and triple of his current take home salary due to clearing Pjanic's big wages off the books and Italy's favourable tax laws for...

Landed in Turin. Deal will be announced soon after the medical tomorrow. There is no coming back now. https://twitter.com/romeoagresti/status/1277012121528741890

Arthur will board a plane to Turin imminently. [rac1]

End of season, but deal will be announced before June 30th for accounting purposes.

Don't worry Griez, this board always brings another big money flop in that will take the spotlight off you. Coutinho made Dembele look good in comparison and Griezmann made Coutinho look not so bad. Next season Lautaro being a flop will make all of us stop talking about Griezmann.

Fabrizio Romano - Arthur and Miralem Pjanic will have both medicals tomorrow. Arthur will join Juventus, Pjanic will join Barca. Swap deal concluded, also 10M to Barcelona as part of the agreement - official soon. Here we go confirmed!

He's doing far worse than EV with a healthier squad. So it turns out NOT "anyone would be better than Valverde." It is insulting to EV to compare this useless sod to him.

I am told on here we're apparently the next Milan for selling Arthur, meanwhile Juve supporters feel like they're becoming the next Milan for chasing such a player. :thinking:
