They'll probably like announcing Setien even more, especially Firpo and Puig.:p

Suarez is done for this season, and needs to be sold in the summer anyway, and hopefully will be. Griezmann on the other hand is a totally different beast defensively and can cover everything and more Messi not playing defense brings. And with Dembele returning and hopefully staying fit with...

As long as it's only Messi, I have no problem, he does everything offensively anyway.

It's not your or my money though, is it? Let them worry about the length of contract and how much they pay who. At least under Setien we should be able to see some nice attacking football for a change, and honestly that's the main thing I care about. Under Setien at least I'm excited to sit down...

Probably the most scared bloke in our team, once Setien is appointed. And he should be. Firpo is gonna overtake him like a tank, if given a proper chance, which is almost a certainty under Setien.

Time to bring Emerson (back) with him this January already, bench Alba, play Emerson and Firpo and watch the magic happen. :p If only we could stop Todibo's loan to Schalke last minute so he could stay and bench Pique too. :lol:

Yep, would love to see Xavi come in the summer and become the B team coach or Setien's assistant, two great Cruyffista minds working side by side. :worthy:

Yeah, but I'd still rather have him and actually enjoy our matches for the rest of the season than get Allegri and basically get Valverde 2.0 in terms of playing style, even if he's a bigger gamble in terms of not being such a big name.

Allegri is basically the opposite of Setien, a big improvement over Valverde in everything else, but not in the way he sets his teams up to play. While Setien has that going for him, but is an unknown in terms of managing big egos and stars. A combination of Setien's style and Allegri's big name...

I'd take Setien too, especially since although he doesn't suit us best in other regards, he certainly does in the visual aspect. And after suffering under Valmierda's conservative approach for the past 2,5 years, and especially this season, when I found myself actively not wanting to turn on the...

Like I said, he doesn't deserve to be in Barca's history. Might as well just move it to Real Madrid's thread and be done with it.

He also said the same for Arsenal as he did for Barca, and yet after his sacking, he gave an interview a few weeks ago in terms of stating 'anything is possible' when asked about managing Arsenal. And considering he for sure expected he'd get a new job a lot sooner but still hasn't, and the fact...

:rockon::cheers: Now move this fucker's thread into Barca's history, or better yet, into Real Madrid's thread (for obviously being their undercover agent all this time), cause he doesn't deserve to be associated with us ever again!!!

He was obviously being sarcastic :lol:

How exactly would he be entitled to more than his whole yearly salary, when there's only 6 months remaining on his current contract???

Playing the true Barca way, which we know Xavi will go for, I absolutely believe Busquets's career on world class level can be prolonged for at least one, if not two more seasons. Yes, he's slow, but a lack of pace isn't critical for a DM, especially in Barca. Busquets was never the...

:cheers: Perfect time for him to get those kilograms up, to the point where he'll just stand in one place throughout the match. :hooray: But seriously, would be the perfect chance to take that step to move on from him, he can come back in May to play a few goodbye matches, ending with winning...

Time for him to go to Miami this summer, while we pay Lautaro's 111M release clause, guy just scored again against Atalanta, beautiful goal, which highlighted all his strengths and he's basically what the 2015 Suarez was, a relentless pressing physical beast, with a ruthless eye for goal.

Yes. ;) They'll go unbeaten until this season CL semifinal, when they'll meet Xavi's Barcelona, and lose 3-0 in the first leg and 0-4 in the 2nd leg. And then from the shock they'll lose second to last or the last game of the league to also screw up the unbeaten season in the 'Levante fashion.'...

Wenger? I think he'd leave that new cushy FIFA job, if we came calling. I've never liked Allegri personally (does he even speak Spanish? and Italian coaches seem to fail miserably abroad) too defensive minded for me, although he could still be a solid choice for our CL run, as he has the...
