    Ernesto Valverde

    The manager's job is not to sound inspired, motivated or make noteworthy statements during press conferences. You could maybe argue that his character or in general is not intense enough to lead the club, but you lot are embarrassing yourselves trying to slander his performance in front of the...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    That is patently false. How many times have we seen players that were pegged for greatness at ages 16-22 go on to completely flop, or at least massively underachieve? Happens to at least 95% highly touted talents. Just go take a look at the top 50 talents in world football from 10 years ago...

    Sergio Busquets

    He was a tremendous player at his peak, but he was also lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Every player needs some breaks to reach greatness, but even more so for Busi. If he was coming up right now under this current Barca team on the verge of rebuilding with mediocre coaches...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He was terrible those matches, but so was the entire team and football is a team sport. Messi was awful against Atletico in 2016, awful against Juventus in 2017, awful in the Roma disaster of 2018 and rather average in the most recent Anfield meltdown. Do those matches discredit his career...

    Neymar Jr.

    Dembele has already been injured for 5 weeks this season. Neymar is the 2nd best player in world today by some distance. La Liga is also less physical league, with more strict refereeing (especially for star players) and Neymar would not be the main target of opposing defenses anymore. Yeah...

    Ivan Rakitić

    He will be gone soon. Either in January or in the summer at the latest. He won't get many minutes until then unless we suffer an injury crisis in the midfield. Throwing him a few garbage minutes here and there is the only dignified thing to do. Puig and Alena cannot even make our squad lists...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Except for the time he single handedly defended our right flank on route to the treble where he scored the first goal in the final. Or are we going to pretend he was always a shite player to push some flimsy narrative? Peak banter mate. Player has to leave the airport by foot due to...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Aye. 140m down the drain, zero return on investment and problems with professionalism. But excuse me for not being optimistic. Guess I am just too entitled. I should just be grateful for when the player comes to training on time during the weeks he is not injured. I am so sorry. Mercilessly...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    1182738266887462913 Why does Vidal hate Dembele? He needs to stop pushing conspiracy theories. This agenda against Dembele is getting out of hand. Valverde is holding him back and he isn't getting any real chances. We know nothing about his behaviour of the pitch and it clearly isn't...

    Ivan Rakitić

    You took a sarcastic quote from another user out of context and put it in your signature in an attempt humiliate him. Messi983 is one of the most level-headed posters on the forum and his general knowledge of La Liga is unrivalled. He has forgotten more about football than you will ever know...

    Ivan Rakitić

    You clearly don't agree with the way he views football and that is obviously fine. The point of a forum is to foster discussion between fans with different perspectives. I don't mind a few surface level insults being thrown around and although you have usually kept the debates fairly civil the...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Top stuff. You can use whatever logic you want, but be consistent. If the short term sacrifice of throwing this season away to simply sack Valverde and replace him an unknown entity sounds like a good proposition to you then just don't go on crusades against other posters because they don't...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Aye. What incredible irony mate. How is that any different or worse than actively rooting for our manager to fail? At least the failures of a single player do not prevent the team as a collective unit from being successful, whereas the failure of a manager undoubtedly does. There are many on...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Generational! Just another example of this incompetent board failing us. An 80m transfer fee and his record wages are bargain for a player of his talent. I am fuming. #BartomeuDimiteYa Also #ValverdeOut for not speaking to De Ligt to convince him to join us.

    Ivan Rakitić

    How do people have it in them to be so fecking negative and toxic all the time? You lads really are something. I have observed jaded and bitter fans before and in many cases justifiably so, but I have never seen a fan base in these dire straights before. Being pessimistic is one thing, but it...

    Arthur

    Nope. BBZ is not "hogging" attention. He is simply another user sharing his views like you or I would. Not his fault if some impulsive, foaming at the mouth serial moaners throw a fit and completely meltdown every time he makes a post. BBZ has this forum on strings. :lol: If he asked you lot...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Shocking comparison. Augero is a Man City legend and one of the best PL strikers of all-time. As long as he keeps filling the net of course nobody will be arsed what's coming out of his mouth. If you are a highly touted, big money player that been struggling at a club for years now, is...

    6 - Carles Alena

    Aye. What a rubbish argument. Instead of responding to anything I said you decided to go for the cheap straw man. Shame. Rakitic is not very good these days and the club wanted to get rid of him in the summer. He barely plays these days and gets thrown a few garbage minutes every couple...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I am sure De Jong already speaks better Spanish than Dembele.

    6 - Carles Alena

    No manager is good enough to elevate an Alena level talent to be good enough for a club like Barca. Said it numerous times, but the only reason the bloke has himself a place in the first team is because he from the academy. If we had bought him from a Segunda club for 1-2m a few seasons ago...
