De Jong .... he can't control his zone even vs these jackie chans...

There will be no more signings this summer. Flick said he was happy with the squad. He said he had two players in each position, and three in some positions. He also hinted that it was difficult to manage such a large number of players. There are currently 26 players in the first team, including...

1. Again, again, again. I'm asking you once more — provide evidence — at least conclusions from reputable football analysts who, back in 2017, said that Van Dijk was the biggest talent among central defenders. I’m waiting. You say — all of Europe was interested in him. My response — there was...

Once again, they've created idiocy here. Sell Ferran Torres to SAUDI ARABIA for 60 million euros???? There's no point in selling him to Arabia for less than 100 million euros. https://www.barcaforum.com/threads/7-ferran-torres.17607/post-2874414

1. What are these conclusions based on? Give me proof that a 26-year-old player who had experience of playing for clubs like Southampton and Celtic when he moved to Liverpool was like Mbappe among defenders? These are just your subjective conclusions, nothing more. You talk about Kounde as if...

1. Kounde, like Van Dijk, was wanted by at least 2-3 top clubs - we know that for sure. You say that Van Dijk was the coolest prospect in 2017. It's just funny to read - this guy was 26 years old at that time. He was not Mbappe or Messi among defenders. This is absolute nonsense. 2. Let's see...

He was already 180 in the 2024-2025 season.

It's shameful not to beat a Japanese player even if you just got back from the beach.

Yamal about 4 dribbling attempts. All unsuccessful.

Who decided that Van Dijk was the most promising center-back on planet Earth? YOU???? A prospect at 26 years old? LOL. Koundé and Van Dijk were players of roughly the same level at the time they signed their big contracts — but Koundé was four years younger. Taking inflation into account, the...

When I learned that Laporta had spoken to Ragnick I was very impressed. That is, I realized that Laporta is very well immersed in the context of modern football.

Ragnick is a random person? He is one of the most respected people in modern football. He is the one that Pep, Klopp and others call the father of gegenpressig. Tuchel, Klopp, Nagelsmann and others talk about his great influence on their playing style. I can say a lot about Ragnick.

We have one of the strongest and largest analytical departments in world football. Representatives from various clubs come to our conferences. Enough whining.

There are no problems with the contracts of Kounde and Gundogan (he came as a free agent with the status of one of the key players of the team that made the treble). The fact that you see these contracts as inflated is exclusively your problem. Kounde arrived as one of the most talented central...

You've been crying about Kounde's salary for three years now, but his salary is adequate. The man is available 24/7 and provides excellent balance on the right flank of defense, given that Lamin Yamal, who is not famous for his play without the ball, plays on the same flank. Moreover, Kounde was...

I'm already starting to suspect that you have problems with perceiving information. I'll repeat it again - with the exception of the big salaries of Fati and Lewandowski, all of Laporta's decisions were adequate. But you're reasoning as if more than 65-70% of the club management's decisions...

Yes we did!

Let me repeat once again — I already said that Lewandowski’s high salary was a mistake by Laporta. BUT! The club was in an absolute media mess, so Laporta wanted to bring in Lewandowski to send a message to other players on the market — "Hey guys, look, we’re still alive. Our project is still...

We can also talk about amortization. What would change? Our players aged 26 and older are on 5-year contracts. Older players have 4-year deals. Liverpool operates similarly. So in terms of numbers — absolutely nothing changes. Liverpool doesn’t hand out 5+ year contracts like Chelsea does...
