    Camp Nou

    Objective vs subjective hurdles make all the difference in politics and as my father in law loves to say ‘it’s always a story about money’

    Camp Nou

    I don’t live in Barcelona but Ricard is head of BIMSA which is the local company overseeing infrastructure for city projects like Camp Nou. He also happens to be the spokesperson for Suma Barça which is a Laporta opposition group. This group joined with Victor’s group to demand Laporta’s...

    Brutal outcome, gutted

    Ousmane Dembélé

    You should read up on the details of those listed BdO criteria - Dembele would not be the highest rated objectively for any of those 3 Individually, Lamine trumps in most objective criteria metrics. Team wise he had one less trophy for club, but one more for NT. Then to speak nothing of the...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I am aware that currently it is what it is but that wasn’t the question, I merely pointed out its not an objective award but a marketing prize

    8 - Pedri

    Fits the stereotype of the English really, surprising for a footballer who has experienced the brilliance of Barcelona football since you do hear some English pundits raving about Flick's Barça who aren't expressly covering La Liga. But in the end, doesn't surprise me

    Camp Nou

    This would appear to be the strategy, publicly & visibly shifting it to the city council who have been playing politics for months now

    Ousmane Dembélé

    BdO has inherent structural bias - using 'jouranalists' who vote on storylines rather than performance and this is influenced by social media hype, club influence/propaganda and even recency bias. I mean how can Vini be in any top ranking for BdO? It's madness. In principle, the concept of a...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    What is the award meant to represent? It's touted as the BPOTY - what is the criteria to be best? Individual achievements/stats? Team ones? Consistency? Outrageous skill/talent throughout season? Messi was like this every year, Maldini who I would respect for an individual award himself...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    There's definitely less confidence with how Olmo has regularly gotten injured but there's more depth & options for Flick now. Never good time for injuries but better now than in the business end of the season

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Far from it, unless criteria for 'best player of the year' is solely determined on team trophies there's little logic to it and as it is subjective and using those posing as journalists only underscores it is a marketing award If you speak about BPOTY and actually query those with expertise, as...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    It's a marketing award and in today's world, PR moves the needle - people focus on inconsequential things Ask neutrals, players & coaches and you get an assessment that reflects reality

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Logic left the building with him, clown is the perfect avatar for him

    18 - Gerard Martín

    Just a reminder, he’s not really a Masia product but absolutely accurate that patience is important to develop young players - they aren’t all going to thrive from the first few minutes I also think most thought Valle would be the back up to Balde, not Fort

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Everytime I see it again, it still seems impossible - a knuckleball on top of it as the ball actually begins to dip as it brushes under the bar, xG is useless in this case

    You know nothing Jon Snow, certainly not about finances or construction to think it would be faster or cheaper much less both

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yep, he would've lost his mind with Ibrahimovic who couldn't head a ball to save his life

    Count on ESPN to arrive late to every topic where they aren't pushing a specific agenda, ESPN is the worst

    I think that direct dribbling came in time even with Andres IIRC but at 22, so much time for his game to evolve yet

    FC Barcelona Finances

    The amortization of the big expenditures and Leo’s money are done & dusted - Coutinho was 8 years ago, that’s long over
