If Balde doesn't get to star after a good display against Bayern, don't know if he ever will.

What is Puig's family famous for? I keep hearing they're some powerful folks but nothing pops up when you google it. It's ridiculous a player as bad as Puig is part of the discussion about the future of the Barca coach. But he obviously is, as Canut is basically Koeman speaking.

I kind of agree with Canut. Koeman might not be the best coach, but he's a good guy and loves the club. All those jabs, leaks etc. don't do Laporta any favor. There are more respectful ways of treating a true club legend.

Our future

Especially considering off-field affairs.

Agree with this. He already seems very solid to me, not in terms of potential, but current level. He's somewhat weak with the ball which is obvious but doesn't let opposing players take advantage of it. Bar some major injuries problems, think we're looking at a future starter.

Would be a great signing, not kidding, just what we need. Hope it's not just a random rumor.

I'd prefer almost anyone over Xavi. Except for Bobo, I'd rather watch Xavi be disillusioned about Puig than Bobo play him no end.

Who needs RCTs when it's clear from the way one looks. Keep up the good work! You'll make billions with that kind of superpower.

Local Sherlock Holmes. With scientific methods. Unchanged since the time of Lombroso.

Conte might be a good short term solution is the club manages to secure some funds. Btw., not gonna waste my time watching the league bellow Segunda B in quality.

Koeman is the best among the names available.

He was great in Valverde's first season imo. Almost all matches. Later I agree.

I was telling some friends last night how much better Rakitic was compared to... most midfielders we see these days. Classes above anything Barca has for sure.

Good post. Didn't know he was born in Munich, but it makes sense for all German speaking players.

What's up with Bayern's pulling power? Do they have a team of hypnotists or something?

Think you're looking at it through pink glasses. Sure, if you came to him and asked if he had wanted to be coached by bums or weak personalities, he'd look at you strange and say no. But it's pretty clear from various interviews, but also watching Barca that certain players wanted to play their...

Even if it was just an accident facilitated by the club's coaching criterion, it's still a fact Messi only had two 'strong' coaches in his career: Pep and Lucho for a single season. Great players benefit from playing under great managers for teams with structure.

It's a bad choice of words, didn't want to imply he literally chose them. Even though I'm not certain about Tata. But it's a fact all post-Pep coaches Barca hired were nannies before managers who adapted the concept according to big stars' wishes. Bar Lucho's first season, but he couldn't keep...

Messi is a bit like Federer in that regard, who refused to have top-class coaches throughout his peak until he hired Ljubicic at the very end. Ljubicic worked with him and adapted the style to suit his old legs better (taking shots sooner, more aggressive, not to mention the backhand...
