    We always competed with big clubs, and still supported young players from La Masia, that's what separated us from most other clubs. Granted, we didn't always have the results we have now, but even in the post-2007 era we had major success with many La Masia kids on the pitch. We'd been buying...

    That shirt looks like it has a raw steak pattern. :lol:

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    You quoted me on the previous page. And both of us were saying the same thing. As I said, at that point, it was no longer a matter of whether he received the money or not, but how much it is comparing to his wages. Both of us were saying that. That was the entire reason for this peanuts...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Another good example of the constant intentional miscommunication on this forum. Neither I nor lessthanjake said anything about him receiving the money, whether he should or shouldn't get paid, whether there's proof, or anything else in that context. All we commented on was the amount itself...

    Oh man he's gonna get read the riot act. :lol:

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I'm not taking anything too seriously, I'm just commenting because I have an afternoon off and I'm bored. :lol: I find it amusing how people can claim completely illogical things just to defend Messi. I don't know about the rest of you guys here, but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing shorts to...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Ummm... Benitez lets them speak to him like that? Vai caralho, hombre? Wow. BTW looks like they train Cristina's celebrations just like they train tactics and fitness. :lol:

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Yes, it's obviously not a formal event, that's why pretty much everyone is wearing suits or blazers. Whether you agree with the criticism or not is another point, but I find it ridiculous that out of 10+ people around him in suits and ties (literally), you pick the only one wearing sandals and a...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I don't know what you mean by formal visit. Surely every meeting with a country's president is a formal visit? It's obvious that some are thirsty to start another smear campaign against him, but they do have a point. If he was meeting Angela Merkel or Obama to commemorate the start of...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I get what they're saying in the sense that I would probably dress more formally, as well. Messi isn't exactly showing class in that sense. But they're absolute idiots in trying to make it about Messi not respecting Gabon for political or racial reasons or whatever. Messi always dresses like...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Even if he made another 15M in endorsements, 3.5M would still be another 10% on his yearly earnings. That's not peanuts, that's a significant amount. But anyways, I've gone off topic.

    Barca elections 2015

    History already is the judge. Even without the global recession, Bush left the country in ruins, and Obama resurrected it in a hundred ways in 1 and a half term, so far. Facts don't lie.

    Obama? You mean the guy who cut unemployment in half, cut the deficit, got millions of people on affordable healthcare, saved the autoindustry, multiplied the production of clean energy? Yes, I believe ignorance is the exact word you're looking for.

    Arda Turan

    :lol: True, though. I've never seen a person look SO different with and without a beard.

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    That's 100% true. Not saying that Barca isn't still a great club and that we don't have a lot of good stuff going for us, but at this point, there's absolutely nothing to suggest that FCB is any different from RM or others. It's a shame. The identity of FCB was defined through its uniqueness.

    Arda Turan

    I'm not at all worried about the fitness side of things. It's completely doable to keep them match fit. And Lucho and his guys seem to have that part down anyway. The issue is how well they will fit in actual games once they join the rest of the team. You can't simulate actual league rounds in...

    Thiago Translantara

    He wasn't key in the sense that he was a starter, but take away his minutes and replace them with Rafinha and the story is wide open.

    Thiago Translantara

    We were doing great without Thiago, because we had Xavi, Iniesta and Rakitić. Xavi is no longer here so none of us really have any clue about how we'll be doing with only Rafinha and Sergi Roberto as backups until January. Or with Arda later.

    Penal Madrid

    Wow, if only 5% of that article was true, then Perez is an absolute maniac.

    Thiago Translantara

    It's ironic how he is exactly the player we need to buy after Xavi's departure.
