Winter signing Erling Haaland (photo) has a release clause in his Borussia Dortmund contract, which can be triggered from 2022 onwards, according to German magazine Sport Bild. Haaland has an agreement in his contract allowing him to leave the Signal Iduna Park for €75m, but Standard Sport...

:amazed::amazed::amazed: Had to double check that. Holy Shit!

Doubt we could afford him and he is worth more than Lautaro. Realistic options right now are: Jesus, Jiminez, Maxi Gomez

There's hardly any roles or demand for number 10s in teams recently. Players with those skillsets hardly fit anywhere unless they adapt to play elsewhere. Coutinho, James, Isco etc.

The club doesn't have any money for any quality long term investments. That's why we're doing these 'garage sale deals'. Upamecano, Sancho, Werner, not even Van De Beek. We can't afford any quality young players on the market right now. What we should be doing is getting rid of misfits like...

Physical preparation is good but I think this team seriously needs a psychologist. Who cries at halftime? Some of these guys need help. Either that or Koeman toughens them up.

Wonder if this is a Koeman signing or the board? Seems like we're just buying up players for the fun of it. :lol: Whats the point in bringing him here when you just bought Pjanic?

Great Player. Horrible Captain and Leader. The seniors in this team are pussies. No wonder we get smashed every year in Europe. :mou:

Suarez is deluded. The club has treated him well and paid him handsomely for the years of his service. Barca does not owe him anything. He is one of the highest paid players in the world.

Gini is a box to box player. He has never been a goal scoring midfielder or creator and there has never been an expectation of him to be that player at Pool. He is more a functional player like the rest of them that Klopp has there, like Milner and Henderson. He has crazy work rate and will...

Correction: Most coaches would. Most fans and video game players wouldnt. Look at it this way. You would never ever see Barca play with the likes of Henderson or Milner in midfield or at one time even Wijnaldum or Matuidi for that matter. Why? They are not flamboyant enough. If you or most fans...

For the choice of starting CF right now. Greizmann vs Braithwaite for me I would pick Braithwaite. Everything depends on how you view the game. Ultimately you will have to ask yourself which player has the right characteristics to fit the system. And then what do want from in a 9? Movement...

Greizmann nicked some goals playing as ST in a couple of matches but I still wouldnt play him there over the course of an entire season especially when he turn 30 in some months time. Even in those games where he played there his positioning was frustration because his first instinct is to...

I'm not claiming anything JamDav. What i'm saying is, Currently, he is the only player IMO than can function effectively as a 9 in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. I wouldn't play Greizmann as a 9 in either of those systems because he doesn't posses the necessary characteristics. I wouldn't put Messi there...

Braithwaite is by no means an elite striker and should't even be a starter for a club like Barca at all. But in the current circumstances it shows how poorly this club is run when your options for CF are Messi, Depay and Greizmann. All of them are great individual players in their respective...

Most of Giroud goals have come with Arsenal. He hasn't scored much for Chelsea at all. He had zero goals at the world cup. Actually he hasn't been prolific in the last 3 years or so. But, he is a system player for Deschamps. He plays a specific role for France and is a starter. My main point is...

Football doesn't exactly work like that mate. It's not a video game. There's a reason France won a World Cup with Giroud as a CF. Skill is a good attribute but its also about roles and having players that can fit the system and play in their preferred role. Barca loves to fit square pegs in...

We should sell only if we plan on getting another CF. He is not an elite player by any means but he is the only player closest to a genuine striker in the team right now. That's why i would keep him and besides his wages are probably among the lowest. Also playing Greizmann, Depay or even...

Another Greizmann type signing for sure. Beats me why we have this fetish for number 10's and second strikers all of a sudden. We already have Greizmann, Coutinho and Messi with a similar profile. If you look at Memphis. His positioning and the zone he loves to play in is exactly like them. They...

This is the lowest the club has been since the years of Gaspart. Pathetic stuff on and off the field. A real shit show.
