Is that the same Laporta who spent 65m on an unproven, play-everywhere-fit-nowhere player like Torres? Going by your numbers, that?s just 10m less than what?s needed for Haaland. I obviously exaggerate to prove my point and I?m fond of Torres but there are layers to the story. Signing Haaland...

:lol:

So irritating when media tries to portrait certain players as good guys who'd rather die than leave and the problem's always with their agents. None of us picked agents for them. Used to happen with Neymar, Messi, and now Dembele. Must've forgotten someone.

Did that extension happen?

We need that Puig and Xavi childhood photo.

Real is surely a far better option for him at the moment. Or any player with big ambitions. I don?t think Real can get both him and Mbappe. They will surely land one though and it makes Spanish teams? chances of signing the other tad higher. That said, there is no way we get either of them :lol:

All of Xavi?s former groupies have turned their backs on him already? Looks like that people who didn?t even want him here in the first place are the only ones offering some support. Weird times. As for the debate in question, I don?t like Xavi?s strong stance on Busquets. He should play less...

I?d settle at not getting him back.

I don?t like Dembele either but not surprised Xavi wants to keep him. Xavi loves his wingers playing wide and at the moment Dembele is the only one who pulls it off regularly. Barca might be the club which, ironically, needs Dembele most. Or someone better than him but similar, I hope.

Nothing is certain but death and taxes. It is what it is. That said, I don?t agree with him spending the reminder of his contract in the stands. Squeeze what is left out of him in those 6 months.

I picked ones highly unlikely to be media slander. Those would have been easy for Dembele to deny.

He fired the chef Barca hired. Was late for training more often then not. I?m sure there are plenty of instances of his unprofessionalism the club is aware of and can use against him. He would be eaten alive in court :lol:.

Tough to say in general, but he?s extremely well liked and popular in Croatia. Croatians are usually over the moon when Djokovic wins. It?s hard to watch :coffee:

I might be a bad person but I cannot tell you how much I enjoy this meltdown.

This bum still here?

Finally the truth.

His best position is far away from Barcelona.

His two major weaknesses are his game with the ball and positioning. With later being more important. A team doesn?t need all players to be great on the ball.

Most of us expected Xavi to arrive with a plan here, to have strong vision. Most of us also expected that vision to be outdated and obsolete since it wasn?t realistic for a beginner coach who has spent years outside of Europe to have a modern, effective system of ideas and knowledge to implement...

Well put!
