    Barcelona's next number 9

    Would imagine the fee and salary for Kane would be far too high and without much prospect of renewing or selling at that age makes it unlikely.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    He absolutely did and stats prove it. That pass he played v Oviedo he has done a ton of times for Barca over the years. Sometimes finished sometimes not. Sometimes the pass before the assisted goal. He is very good at that angled ball into box. With Pedri he does it a bit less probably...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Fake news.. folk were happy with Laporta sacked Xavi and gave him credit for doing it. Xavi was a decent choice at time to give club back some personality but had run his course earlier than was gotten rid of. Folk make out Xavi had it harder than he did. Had a lot of emerging talent and...

    Barcelona's next number 9

    Gistau has link up levels above likes of Guiu did and has physicality. Def has a chance if he can add goals. Really he should be scoring a lot of goals at this current Atletic team level at 17/18 if to have a future in first team.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Laregly to his doing. Like it or not Messi wields massive power at club and intl level as to who is in squad with him.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Not really. That 2006 team was built largely on Deco, Ronaldinho and Etoo and Messi.. when could stay fit long enough. Of the starters in that 2006 final only Valdes, Puyol and Etoo were starters for Pep and all three massively improved under him to best form of their career even if Valdes did...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Folk make out like Xavi took over Barca with no players... far from true. He inherited a lot of good players and more emerging that were important in his title win. Midfield alone he came into Busquets, FDJ, Pedri, Gavi, Nico etc. He on top of that spent more than any other manager in Spain...

    Real Madrid

    Indeed tweak it. Too open at the back.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    To be fair Barto left a Barca with.. Cubarsi, Araujo, Balde, Frenkie, Pedri, Gavi, Bernal, Casado, Fermin, Yamal etc Can add many more..MATS, Pena, Mingueza, Todibo, Alba, Roberto, Nico, Busquets, Messi, Dembele, Trincao and more again. Barcas best two players were players there before...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Doubt will get anything as a fee regardless as that Monaco set fee probably have to go to paying him off.

    Jude Bellingham

    Tchouameni has been better than Valverde deep this season.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Took over a squad of players others claimed Real were far ahead of and won. Was never the case. Done it without the money Xavi got also. Played Pedri in his best position and understands more how Torres/Raphinha etc need to play. Valverde was better than Xavi. Flick has been better than both.

    Real Madrid

    Atletico and to some extent Marseille are the only two sides this season that have had enough in their team to try and attack the weaknesses in the Alonso set up. It is on Alonso to tweak it and adapt.

    Real Madrid

    Barca conceded 4 to a worse Atleti last season to be fair. But scored the other way and dominated them.

    La Liga 25/26

    The way they played today and if had a controller in midfield would be better off with Vaverde in one of those AM roles and let him use his legs and ball striking. His best times at Real have largely been when RW or drifting there to date.

    La Liga 25/26

    Valverdes give away for that goal was utterly pathetic. Getting it big time from the Real fans for his performance today.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Justifying his 14m salary right enough. Top lad.

    Premier League 25/26

    Nah. Two team league with similarly matched squads. He would have a decent chance. Far far bigger chance than going to United. Same with Xavi.

    Julián Álvarez

    Didnt happen.

    Premier League 25/26

    Ranieri got a championship. Teams are not lining up for him. There is precisely zero chance Xavi gets a championship had gone to EPL and Man Utd.
