    6 - Gavi

    How much longer of this are we going to accept before his role is considered? Same nonsense all the time. Doesn't even try to add quality to the game.

    11 - Raphinha

    He isn't 'slow', he is just not good at dribbling in 1v1 situations, which people always confuse with each other. Dribbling is more agility than it is speed. In a straight line Raphinha is statistically very fast, not only that, he has maybe the best gas tank in world football. Which makes him...

    I know exactly what IU is suggesting. Lol. And he might not be wrong.

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    He's not a kid anymore. At 26 he should be in his prime. He still has the same major weaknesses he did when he first joined Barca A. Very inadequate on the ball and bad positioning. If we are going to play this defensive tactic, you need brains even more than athleticism. As Cruyff said, when...

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    The hard facts are any top team looking to play positive and attacking football will struggle very hard with such a big liability on the ball in Araujo. He is a classic no nonsense center back with little ball playing or carrying ability, and when he is in the side, teams have tried to usher...

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    I genuinely don't think we are better with him in the side. We have far more threat offensively with Inigo/Garcia paired with Cubarsi as all of them can send pinpoint balls to the wings and midfield. Araujo has been a net negative since he came back and to be honest it feels like he makes the...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Nice to see you back pal. Your presence was missed, top ball knowledge. I agree that Rashford's 'flame' could be ignited by Flick if he comes here... it is also a fairly low risk deal if we loan him for 6 months, at worst he will be a decent backup, at the best, he could score bags of goals and...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    Never as bad as claimed. He is suitable enough to be a backup striker and in fact is better than you'd expect for it. Can cover all front 3 positions to an adequate level and when he is on his day can score goals. Keeping him for the rotation is fine. He knows the club, is motivated and...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Ferran is a good option to relieve him from starting and adds more off the ball. Lewa is amazing when he's got gas in the tank but he needs to be given games off from time to time. Good to see it as that is the right way to manage it. His season has been great so far so let's not underplay it.

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Well, all we know is Pena came late one day and from then onwards Wojchek has been the starter. On the outside it looks like Flick was waiting for a justification to bench Pena. It's hard to say who should start because Pena was fine for us when he played and pretty solid if not spectacular...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Seeing this Barca? He will be motivated to make history and I guarantee he will cook under Flickball. He is the type that needs something to ignite the fire inside of him before he gets going and this move could be it. This is a huge turning point in his career if it happens and I doubt he...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    He's a good player and I doubt the board will want to lose him for free. This season will be decisive for him. I think he'll play an important part in the second half of the season and probably ends up renewing.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Even if we end up finishing third this season, he should be given a lot of patience and time. You don't always judge the book by its cover. We have to read till the end in this case. The performances we've seen at times are reminiscent of MSN or Prime Barca squads with half the playing talent.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The point tally doesn't tell the whole story. This team under Flick has huge potential if only it can refine its approach against the smaller teams. I don't feel we could have gone any further under Xavi's rigid conservative type football. I feel Flick has the potential to go further. Some of...

    Karim Adeyemi

    40-50 is far too much for him anyway. He's a 20m player. His only skill is kick and run and using his pace to dribble. Other than that he has little in his locker.

    11 - Raphinha

    Probably the best athlete in the world(of football). What a gas tank. Literally the only thing he's missing is the 1v1 qualities.

    Antony

    To be honest I don't see him worth more than 10m given his current contract. He is a mid table quality winger who's best attribute is workrate.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    We have another Clasico still to come and by any indications we can cut the gap by 3 there. Its still possible and in our hands but very unlikely if Flick won't sort out our form against the lower teams.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Let's be fair. He is 36 and hardly any player at that age is able to play 90 minutes every game for a top club, whilst maintaining their level. For his age and what he is, he's done very well here. But we need to work within his constraints, bench him from time to time.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Well, I suppose this old man only has the gas tank for a few months. Been the same for the 3 seasons he's played here, what a shame. A backup striker in light of that should have been considered very important. Regardless, I think rotating in Pau Victor or Ferran just to give the team a...
