    Óscar Mingueza

    Which means there is way too long of time to decide who he is going to use, essentially half the time period between the two major tournaments. Now is the time to experiment. This is what the Nation League for, making experiments while it is fairly competitive in nature. Marcos is a weird...

    Clément Lenglet

    It depends on how much we are paying him. No one was paying him 8M per year, we were always going to have to pay part of it. The big question is why Bartomeu gave him 12M per year on a 6 year contract

    Óscar Mingueza

    This is his 4th NT game. First, you don't judge a player based on NT football. Second, experience is a big part of this, Mingueza plays more of an attacking inverted FB with Celta, currently DPF is experiencing with those players in this glorified friendly tournament. Right now, Porro and...

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    Sady, with his availability issues, this is the right decision

    They have a very good staring XI tbh. Maybe except no9 but other than France and Argentina all big NT don't have good one

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    Frenkie was 25-26 when we tried to sell him, minor injuries, a position that every emerging good player cost 100M+ (Rice, Enzo, Caicedo) and while he was underperforming due to high expectations, he was still very highly regarded. Ter Stegen is 33, in a position that you can easily find good...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    33 years of age who suffered a potential career ending injury, to add to a long list of previous injuries.

    Yeah, there is surely deferred salay. And we will surely pay him some money if he wants to stay in Europe as he will never earn the same in Europe. It is worth it IMHO assuming it is one payment and not something we pay for 5 years affecting our salary cap the Messi way.

    That's generous offer to him tbh

    Cardoso Varela (loaned to Dinamo)

    Yeah, Pablo Torre is a great example of this. Again, if you are 18-20 with that level, you better served at Dortmund and Ajax

    Cardoso Varela (loaned to Dinamo)

    We can't compete with clubs like Dortmund and Ajax with talents who are in the 5-15M category, it is that simple. This has been the case since the Davinso Sanchez rumours. Those clubs can bring players with clear plan and direction to the first team, Barca first team is just way too early and...

    Abde, Y. Demir, E.Demir, Faye, Noah Darvich, Aziz Issah, Oduru,Román Vega,Lucas Román, Santiago Ramos Mingo, Moussa N'Diaye, Others who were a bit older, are Martin, Victor, Mbacke & Jutgla, J. Araujo. Mostly under 5M, because huys who cost as mych won't accept going to Barca B.

    On a side note. Yerry Mina and Davinson Sanchez are still starting CB duo gor Colombia. Robert Fernandez is proud :deco:

    World Cup '26 qualifiers discussion

    Sorry if I came up aggressive :eek: It is always possible, but it will depend on the development of countries itself tbh. What if Nigeria became a top 10 economy in the World in 30 years? What if USA became a football/soccer Nation? Such things can genuinely change the fortune of their...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    In the 3 seasons before the last one, I had the same exact opinion of him. He is a guy made to be an entertaining good player in Betis or Villarreal, not Barca or City. This last season he was great tbh and finally took that step forward. It is the classic question if this is a one time thing...

    Who cares? It will be always the wealthier countries with the biggest financial packing and human resources. So, essentially more of the same. But football as a business doesn't operate that. Evolving here isn't about bringing a contender to the World cup, that is an absolute narrow minded way...

    Absolutely, without a shade of doubt. Africa produce more and more from their domestic academies, their leagues are better. And you think players from Japan and Korea are product of European academies? What load of nonsense is that. You are arguing about something you have no clue about.

    16 - Fermín López

    70M is a fair price to sell him. And on paper, it is easy to replace him than other players. However, Barca generally struggle with the idea of reinvesting, and it is why they keep their players to fault. Expectations will be selling Fermin and bringing Gyökeres for the same money, reality will...
