Should've left after Liverpool as was obvious he had no future here. That's when the rebuild should've started.

That's right. Neither Valverde hated youngsters and did all in his power to sabotage their careers, nor is Koeman all about giving kids chances. He asked for Wijnaldum and Depay, in the end. It's just what it is and coaches need to squeez the most out of it. Both seem to fare fine in given...

Why the fuck would he watch Barca B train? :lol: He kept inviting promising B team players to train with the first team to keep an eye on them. Also, there's this quote: "Ernesto Valverde was watching Barca B play against Real Sporting. It's been 2 and a half years since the coach of the first...

Vidal started 3 out of 10 matches he played in the league in Valverde's last season with us. Far from an undisputed starter. Barca has a sporting director who makes lots of the decisions himself. Koeman has, at the moment, not only promising but performing youngsters and that's the main reason...

The biggest difference is Koeman has many promising youngsters worth trusting. Puig included. And he's giving them chances. Valverde didn't. I'm sure he was well aware of his skill level and opted for better players (even though they weren't great). Gave chance quickly to Fati when he came...

Insecure much? :lol:

Yeah, and were still better than Alena or other options Valverde had at his disposal. I mean, collect yourself. You're crying over a useless player who'll never do anything with his career. Valverde saw it before you, deal with it. ;)

Right, let's pretend Valverde didn't come to Barca almost 4 years ago when Rakitic was 29. And even if forget that bit of info, you're still wrong. As Rakitic was a better player than Alena back than, and still is. And not just Alena. Irrationally hating on a guy because he didn't have...

Might proceed to avoid siding with George :crbust:

It's scary you recall that (I don't). Think I liked Valverde from the beginning. Still do, was a fine coach of whom I expected a tad too much. Nothing to do with Koeman, though.

This one's too delusional to reply to and don't want to drift off-topic that much. Regarding Koeman, I'm not even on the hype train, leave alone the cult. Ask Horatio, he can confirm.

One weird thread this one.

That's what you said. While talking about seeing things black or white. Could add awareness next to self-awareness on that list. Plenty of people fanboying over Puig in Barca online communities, act as he can do no wrong etc. I'm far from a Puig hater, even like things he brings to the table...

Probably skipped sections on self-awareness and irony in his reading comprehension manual. Obvious your critical thinking is great seeing you call a dig at Puig's fanboys a dig at Puig. Thanks for the advice, it's a good one. Did it in highschool. Should try it ;)

It's better to look for outside investors and pursue the project than abandon it because we lack resources. Would be interesting to see what Laporta and Font have to say, but doubt it since it doesn't sound very popular.

Saw Laporta would present his economic plan on January 13th. Interesting to see whether he comes up with something more specific than Font.

How's decent "black or white"? Reading comprehension skills showing.

Motm or labeled hater. Easy as that. Was a decent cameo, made look better as he shone among other subs

Is Puig warming up?

With Busquets playing between the CBs, huge area opens up in the middle of the pitch, seems to me. Sometimes it's Messi who drops back, sometimes it's Frenkie, but most often empty. Could use that better in transition. Also, looks like Busquets was instructed to help the CBs more today. As...
