    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Cardoso Varela rumours is back on the table. After turning us down 3 month ago to go to Croatia, now the rumour that he has 5M RC and we are interested. His agent is non other than Andy Bara (agent of Olmo, Faye & Joan García)

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Sure, you can take that as a lesson that PSG is a club that has too many flops and we shouldn't act like them. OTOH, we could also learn that they knew the importance of great CB duo and didn't stop until they achieve it. Barca OTOH, seems more and more in the comfort with our defense. It...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Inigo had a bad end to the season, though. And he had an awful first season here. Add that to the fact that he is 2 years older than Rudiger. Add that to the fact that he has only 1.726 career minutes in CL, vs 5.778 career minutes for Rudiger. Is it a safe bet that Inigo will still do...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Losing them indicates we actually had a chance. Both wantes immediate registration in the first team, which was impossible. The only reason we were even after them and they considered us was Deco.

    Our current GK shouldn't be the standard though. Better than Tek or Stegen shouldn't be the aim, a World class GK is what it should be. In this regard, his talking has merit. He might be "standing with a friend " or actually wanting a WC GK. He spent 8 years of his career playing beside prome...

    Luis Diaz

    LW is really needed, and while I agree a better CB and a solid LB are needed, LW is still a big issue. Wr can't rely on Fati/Victor level of players for depth. A lot will depend on who they see attainable in the market. If they don't identify a great CB, I can understand staying put for now...

    He flops, and he will still be starting for another couple of years because Barca is super loyal to GK, and then he will be loaned out until the end of contract, probably with us paying part of his salary. 25M for a GK is like 50M for a CB, he will be the 15th most expensive GK ever, with some...

    Luis Diaz

    Diaz won't improve our starting line up, but there is no way in hell you would argue that he won't improve the team. He is actually a guy with fairly consistent product every year and is a massive upgrade over Fati/Victor. Very versatile, hard working player on cheap cost. Price is actually the...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    There are ton of reports that the deal was identified by Deco's staff along Flick. I mean it depends on which reports you want to believe, people always tend to belief the reports that aligns with their pre-existing beliefs. But honestly, Laporta was never a guy identifying targets through out...

    The link doesn't work. But Deco works in synch with his team and Flick, he himself admitted he isn't the one selecting GK, as it isn't his area of expertise, which is actually the right attitude. But Deco is the one who makes those decisions at the end, by Laporta own admission.

    Both Raya and Simon are better GK atm, Simon numbers in La Liga are insane btw. 3rd spot will be wide open. But this could be a Valdes type of situation. One year ago, Arnau Tenas was starting over him in the Olympics and no one complained. Let's take it easy.

    Sure, he should stay professional, and so does the club. But it's the club that used the media to kick out players since Laporta come back. It is something we need to learn that it will backfire. Marc renewal, with deferred salary, was initiated by the board. He and his agent has the right to...

    Few things: 1-Tek didn't renew, and he might never as he could be waiting for the situation to finalize 2-Tek might stay as 3rd GK, and we get the option of loaning our youngsters for once (looking at Astralaga and Yaakob. 3-I won't mind Ter Stegen staying and it is logical move. Joan Garcia...

    Faye was his first win. The physio and training team he hired was his biggest. Guy went shopping for All Stars in that field.

    Inter will be a bad move, they need rebuild but the expectations after Inzaghi will remain high

    I would hope, unlikely though, to get an option on Martim Fernandes, he has the potential to be next Hakimi IMO

    Roberto Carlos

    I would take peak Carlos over peak Maldini. Maldini beats Carlos on versatility and blows anyone on durability. But if I am choosing on peak, I think Carlos reached unmatched levels especially on offense, though this is also dependent on personal preference of style.

    I don't see it with Mora tbh, maybe I was unlucky wiith the games I watched, but I think Porto will cash on the hype either this summer or next. Guille might also be developed into CM in 4231 too, which would allow him more playing time. Porto is a selling club anyway, if they invest in Guille...

    Guille Fernández

    It is already stated months ago he wants to leave for first team football. He won't go to 2nd division And tbh I am not sure he is even ready for Segunda. This what happens when you rush a player in B team, he will be eager for first team football regardless of how ready he is.
