    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He is quoting FPolo here. The later had lost credibility last year, but he was the first to report Ansu deal which is almost done. Joan doesn't have many suitors btw. Arteta wants him as backup but their SD is refusing to pay his BO. After that only Villa is seriously considering him. City...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    It is MLS though, it isn't like they are facing a Klopp type of pressing. Mascherano did underwhelming job in overrated Argentine sides, so you could give him a leeway for it, but Inter Miami is better than the results and at some point you gotta run out of excuses.

    Hmmmm, are you sure about that? You surely mention it a lot

    13 - Joan García

    I would take Garcia over not signing anyone, but I am not buying the hype. He is above average GK with inflated basic numbers due to being relegation side. One season wonder, and he is overpriced at 25M for sure. But I would take that over having Astralaga or Pena as backup in case Tek is leaving.

    Ligue 1

    Edit: I realised I wrote too much, so A TLDR version is that I don't see a scenario where he makes sense in terms of cost relative to skillset. I don't have a direct opinion of him, rather than 2nd hand one. Essentially following what those who watch him regularly say. x "He is talented...

    Ligue 1

    He is mid for a starter in CL contender, but he won't join for that role tbh. He is more or less the 3rd winger for us. The thing is, there is a lack of talents in the LW position. Outside of RM who has 3 players capable of being good/elite starters in it, and to lesser extent PSG, I can't...

    Xavi Hernández

    Which one? There Al-Ahli in almost every Arabic league east of Algeria

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Why? This isn't the old 4th division format. It is fairly competitive for developing talents. Just build good team that is winning, let Beletti do his thing and get back next year.

    Relegation seems inevitable

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Mendes is getting the advantages of us pushing half of our La Masia gems to him, his biggest client atm is Lamine, by some massive margin, even Balde is probably one of his more important clients, with more to come. Leao isn't having shortage of suitors either. Almost every big club that...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Monaco is surely paying a significant part of his salary, we didn't accept that deal while paying his entire salary. Also important reminder that players don't get paid only at the end of the year, they are paid monthly and based on how long they stay. He waits until last day of the wondow and...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    We won't find a club willing to pay any significant part of his salary where he will be sure starter. Hopefully he isn't renewing/deferring his salary and if it doesn't work out in Monaco, we can work a buyout next summer so that he can be free of that salary and former hype, so he can go...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Seghir is like 3rd option winger for the two starter there. Yes. Mika Biereth, Embolo and Balongun if he is healthy are their CF/SS rotation

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    It is likely another opinion piece interpreted as a source.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Fabrizio said it iirc. Deco is the one hiring him, one thing clear about Deco is that he likes expanding his team. He isn't working with small group. And Steidten was hated by every coach he worked with and really wasn't popular among fans in the clubs he worked it. He isn't here to replace...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, he might have mentioned them because he was asked specifically about them. Almost every source quotes Deco but none says what was tge question to give a context. It is actually a bad habit of our media

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We are paying Paranense and Cruzero a portion of those 25M. We won't get any profit of him. Agent having influence is one thing, prearranged is totally another thing

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Como has European aspiration and making some big signing. If anything, I will say he should go for a club in relegation fight, the same way Umtiti did. Somewhere like Lecce or Verona

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Highly improbable. We didn't buy Roque thinking he will fail, we signed him to be Lewa replacement in the future, it didn't work and he wanted out. If anything, we were kinda lucky with his personal issues, which probably made him want to go back to Brazil, otherwise we wouldn't have got money...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Based on what? Palmeiras just made two massive sales with Endrick and Estevao, tgey lost the league to a well funded Botafogo, and they have a CWC. They needed signings, Roque was there available, a player who was top scorer of the league at the age of 18 before injury in his last season...
