Should have been forced out of the club this summer. Don't care what anyone says, it would have been the right decision. Now he's already going to have missed at least 4 months of this season due to injury after 3 months last season and 5 months in his first season. I don't wish injury on any...

I don't look at the Ballon D'or placements or what a talent has achieved by X age compared to others. It is a very simplistic view of looking at football and since the development of a prospect is never linear it is hard to use those attributes alone as a measure of future growth or success. I...

Hopefully we put him on Dortmund's plane and shipped him back to where he came.

No question he's not Valverde's favourite midfielder, but when on form he has always been a fixture in his starting XI. His form dropped drastically and now EV is looking at other options. If they also fail Arthur will get another chance quite soon. Pretty reasonable, don't you think?

Thank you. Tired of the usual knobs parroting this absurd notion that losing in the group stage would be better since it would avoid embarrassment later on in the competition. Do these lads not understand a club of the stature of Barca dropping down to the Europa League would be more...

Deary me, I cannot believe what I am reading in this thread. One relatively poor half against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu less than a week after returning from a major injury and a sizable bunch of you lads are ready to write off the rest of his career? :lol::lol::lol: Meanwhile Dembele's...

Ronaldo has certainly had his fair share or questionable individual award winnings, but if we are going by this season's criteria he should have won last year. Modric Ballon D'or was a farce last season, similar to how a Van Dijk win would have been this season.

Always thought he was quite a bit overrated. Mediocre pure dribbler and terrible in the air. He has good decision making for his age, is rapid, direct and his link up play can be great. Decent skills and a hit and miss finisher. Nothing about him screams to me he going to be the player to...

Don't think a devalued Copa America title, especially in the same year as the EUROs would be much of a boost. There are going to have been 4 Copa America tournaments played in the last 6 years. Normally it should be 4 every 16 years. Turning into a bit of a joke at this point. To be honest he...

Of course he does. We should ideally move on from him, but to assume he is some daft amateur sitting on his hands doing nothing is another level of delusion. He has always been a competent coach and simply because he gives boring, uneventful quotes to the press and the team is playing poorly...

Valverde has no tactics and is telling the team to play like geriatric cowards? You can see him literally crying out to the team to move the ball much more quickly, make more runs and increase their workrate. https://streamable.com/64j9v

He won the Ballon D'or, it is known. Not that is concerns me all that much, but hopefully the fanboys unclench, have a good wank and get over it for a while.

Aye. Neymar will be 28, not 29 this summer. Griezmann on the other hand will be 29 and is not fit to lace Ney's boots. The main man Messi will 33 this summer mind you and is running out of time to win more CLs. If we sell the three flops we can bring back Neymar and a good backup winger for...

Griezmann in the past week: -I cannot dribble -My relationship with Messi and Suarez isn't great -I have no confidence to shoot or pass I was still holding out maybe 20% of hope for the lad, but after these rubbish statements it has plummeted to 0%. This reminds me of the time when Gomes came...

Fecking hell, he actually said this... He is supposed to be a world class, experienced, world cup winner ready to make the difference. Even if you are a bit low on confidence you simply don't make these sorts of public statements to the press. I would be a bit surprised even if Fati came out...

:lol: You're better than this mate. Falling for and propagating Madrid media rubbish hit pieces about the club is out of order. I think you very well know AS has not got a single clue what is happening inside our dressing room at HT and you would not be sharing it if it wasn't for your deep...

What else is Dembele's pace good for? Getting in behind, making runs? :lol: That falls under point my second point of Dembele constantly making the wrong decisions. Griezmann is poor, Coutinho was poor, Dembele is both borderline retarded (football-wise) and mostly poor. He is a player...

Pipe down with the arrogance. It's embarrassing. Dembele's speed is useless because of two reasons: 1. No other pacey players in attack. You cannot form a counter-attacking side with simply one rapid player. The rest of our forwards have the pace of your average elderly lad. 2. Constantly...

Crossing the ball is one of the simplest, yet most effective ways to score in football. Most teams outside of Barca employ it as one of their main tactics and it usually allows for space to open up down the middle later in the match. If you have players that are good in the air why wouldn't...

Pep never gets lucky.
