    Pep Guardiola

    It is the 4th best squad in the league IMO, and could be worse if they didn't have Halaand who is a top 2 strikers in the world. But so far, it feels like Pep's cycle in City is over tbh. I think he should have left after 2024 season. He might turn things around, many said the same about SAF...

    Basketball/NBA

    Well, it is actually one thing they have done right. NBA is already too diluted in terms of talent, despite talent being an all time high. However, they have finally achieved competitiveness and ended dynasties as it was, they are in the perfect spot and expansion isn't needed. Oklahoma have...

    Mikayil Faye

    Subbed in today. However he is likely leaving in matter of hours. I don't expect any extra money, as buy option is likely be lower than the 10M they paid for him. Good Luck

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Pedro and Busquets were coached by Pep indeed, Thiago was coached by both coaches (Lucho never coached in 4th division, 2 seasons in 3rd division and another in 2nd division). Which is exactly my point, it is more about who you have in charge, more than the level they are in. Plenty of players...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    The likes of Pedro and Busquets were developed in 4th division, and to a lesser extent Thiago Alcantara, all are players whom any of those kids will be lucky to have half of their careers. And before the "it is different times" the level was far more inferior as 3rd division was 80 teams back...

    La Liga 25/26

    Some how missed the news that Julen Agirrezabala has joined Valencia. He always put good performance whenever he played but obviously had no future in Bilbao as Simons is just one of the best atm. We will now see a fairly good sample size for him, but I believe there is a chance Valencia got one...

    18 - Gerard Martín

    Neither Roony nor Tek are registered, they are the remaining two. A bit surprised that Tek wasn't registered first, since he is the only one who wasn't registered with the club at all (Roony and Martin were registered as B team players). But maybe it will happen in matter of hours or something...

    Joan Laporta

    Other than EPL, which league has better competetion? Surely not Ligue 1 where PSG overpower everyone, nor Bundesliga where Bayern own it, losing one title in the past 13 years, and total of 7 titles in the past 26 years. Italian best clubs aren't that much better than Atletico, if any. Napoli...

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    NT isn't always about calling the best players, it is why fans get mad about almost every NT coach during any international break/tournament. In many cases it is about the fit and ideas, and who they trust to perform what they want when given time. Balde is different style than either Cucu or...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He is almost 22 and is having his first year in top division this season. 46 games in 4th division, 30 in 3rd division and 1 in Segunda along 7 in La Liga. This is a Pau Victor career trajectory, he might end different but this isn't a guy we expect to hit big. And for the striker market...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    This never happened or can even suggested to happen. Tebas and La Liga has no power on who we register for B team, that is the RFEF. They only have the power to reject him playing with first team for more than many games, and this has never been confirmed. And even if we believe the rumours...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    iirc Barca has actually refused to vote for Tebas once or twice out of the 4 elections he had. But regardless of Barca position, clubs complaints about Tebas in public and vote for him when it matters. They want this rules, they want austerity, they just want someone else to blame and Tebas is...

    Does Barca deserve better president?

    Every club believes it deserves better leadership. Heck, even clubs that are considered "exemplary" has good portion of their fans thinking they deserve better

    Aron Yaakobishvili

    People make too much about level of competition when the effect in developing players is marginal at most, and probably negligible. Clubs succeeded in developing players in 4th division normally, it is about accommodating to playing against grown ass men than anything. Astralaga is 21, and he...
