    Barca 2025 pre-season

    Bartou has appreciated La Masia, he simply didn't know how to run it. It is why I laugh when someone call a certain strategy a Bartou one. The guy tried everything but was just clueless. Regarding La Masia and Laporta, things don't "just" happen, we are clearly improved in that area under him...

    Barca 2025 pre-season

    Of the 9 talents called (8 La Masia and Roony as signing). Diarra is injured, so his preseason os over, 3 sent to the B team, 3 will stay and a decision to be made for the remaining 2.

    Barca 2025 pre-season

    It is true, and something I've argued about for years. Second division is the absolute worst place to develop talents, unless it is a very specific situation where the player is granted starter there on loan. As a reserve team, almost every club does worse in developing talents when they are...

    Camp Nou

    Possibly, but I think returning to Camp Nou will ensure Laporta an election win, he needs it to happen before the end of the season unless he is too comfortable he is going to win regardless.

    Joan Laporta

    And Torres too.

    Nico Williams

    Real has forced Camavinga to fire Sisoko in order to join iirc. It isn't out of question to ask to change agents, it isn't the right thing to do but it isn't exactly a clean business

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Fabrizio has settled in being an aggregator who tells what agents want him to say, while bringing easy engagement. Barca has massive fanbase and quiet window, he will mention us and Diaz at every possible way. It will provoke Barca, Liverpool and Bayern fan bases without affecting his reputation.

    Deco

    I still believe we were willing to make a certain sale for Nico to come here, but not for other options.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Ali Barat, who is the new force in football as an agent and holds so many young talents from early age. That is interesting, and possibly not related to Simons.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    We don't. We have to prove we lose him for 4 months in the season (not a sure thing) and in such case we create a temporarily cap space of 80% of his wage and until January, and if the laws stay the same, we need to register such player permanently before end of the year or otherwise it is...

    Aron Yaakobishvili

    Players have strong say in this, and Yaakob only renewed with a promise of loan, and his agent is Zhavi whom we won't go against an agreed deal with him. As you say, no Segunda team will promise him starting spot, and even if someone promise it, what prevents them from signing another GK the...

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    Araujo is fairly smart tbh, but he is mistake prone and injury prone while he lacks the passing ability. Plenty of teams are willing to work with mistake prone CB, if you get the rest. David Luiz was prime example of that, and he had a fairly great career overall and won a lot. But he had the...

    28 - Roony Bardghji

    16 indeed. No player can sign more than 3 years before 18 due to FIFA rules, at least to my knowledge.

    28 - Roony Bardghji

    His brother is 15, it is literally illegal to sign him now.

    Aron Yaakobishvili

    https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/news/4307734/loan-agreement-for-aron-yaakobishvili Officially loaned to Andorra. Relegation might be the best thing to happen to our young GK

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Can we register Joan Garcia first before blaming Deco for lack of signings?!

    Eman Kospo

    He trained several times with the first team at the end of last season, so I think it is fair assumption that Flick didn't rate him highly, for now. But the club can't hand preseason for every player that demands it, especially an 18 years old kid who still didn't make it to the B team. I think...

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    He lacks any "outstanding" physical tool for a CB. below 1.85cm is below average for a top CB, he lacks speed, athleticism, and strength. He is fairly mistake prone but we can always attribute that to his age. It takes a generational level of talent to overcome all of those to be elite CB in...

    Eman Kospo

    Was Kospo willing, though? This looks like a bad deal that is likely forced on us. Buyback or first refusal seems like a standard in those deals. Not that it matters, as a player can block such clause if he isn't willing to join again, but weird still that we didn't get it. Seems like he was...
