If he could regain some of his confidence and old form, I'd say why not?

Come on Flavia, don't take me that literally :wave: You know what I mean.

If true, than it's a really strange situation. It's not like he's a janitor at Camp Nou on a probationary period not knowing if he gets a permanent employment or extended contract - he was and still is an integral part of the team and we have a ban hanging over us. He sees the people who know...

First of all, we don't REALLY know what's been said between the club and Alves - or what was said between Abidal and the club. Alves agent might try to get an extra year or some extra €. But comparing Alves to Muniesa is kind of silly, we would not renew him anyway - Muniesa was a B player who...

Exact same thing as Muniesa, a Barcelona B player that was also injured almost the whole season he was supposed to get some games with the first team? Or the same thing as Abidal who had cancer, and than got cancer again? Mhm...

I actually agree with many posters that Pedro would probably walk into any starting 11 in EPL. He's a great player in the right system. But in Barca, lately our forwards are isolated and everything is centered around Messi and to a lesser extent Neymar - Pedro doesn't really fit in if our...

But, but, but we can't loan him next season - next season was suposed to be the season for Douglas to EXPLODE!

Lol, true dat - you really can't polish a turd...

It benefited Neymar Snr, oh boy it benefited him - hence money laundering.

Well, exactly - money laundering it is than.

At least Douglas, and I suspect Keirrison.

**** is he even doing in Barca?

Well true, whatever happened to Serie A is indeed strange. Players like Ronaldo left Barca for Inter etc - Milan was one club almost everybody wanted to play in and so on. And indeed we had more clubs with prestige in Spain to, Sevilla and Valencia to name a few. But money wise it has become a...

There is simply to much money to be made nowadays, to many people scouting and to many clubs living of developing players and selling to PSG, Chelski, RM etc. The pressure is huge, players can't develop in their own tempo anymore but are bought and signed by risk capitalists at a very young age...

No, we don't only watch the biggest and richest clubs. But a hidden gem in a lower table club in say France or Portugal won't go unnoticed for long, say if he really has what it takes to become a RB for a club like Barca. Football has changed a lot over the last 10-15 years, everybody trying to...

People know that by watching a lot of football and reading up on the topic. You hear about a player and than you tune in to a game or two and if you know a little something about football you'll have a pretty clear picture. Replacing Messi, Iniesta, Alves or Busi is not an easy task (well, Messi...

I really like this guy. Only seen him play a couple of times, but that is more than enough to see he will become a great player.

I see the negatives just like you, I even fear a 2 year extension is to much no matter how much I like him. But I also understand if he won't accept a 1 year extension and I will definitively not blame Alves if he decides to leave us after this season - we have put ourselves in this mess with...

The fact that we have a transfer ban, that we're stuck with Douglas + Montoya and that there simply aren't any good RB's on the market should sway you in favour of Alves. Imo he had a bad first part of the season, but so did the majority of our team tbh - since a couple of months ago he is a...

Arsenal are cursed for us. I wouldn't touch one of their players with a stick. Just stay the **** away, why are we wasting all that money for scouts if we keep bringing in mediocre Arsenal players?
