    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    RB is the position we have been constantly linked to in 2025. Mingueza, Ratiu, Hilali, Pubill, Vanderson, Wesley & Dodo have been all mentioned in the press.

    Lasr year Real has betted everything on Mbappe , probably with the idea that they can rebuild rest of the squad sooner. I just don't see Alonso accepting such situation now. Mbappe was their 2013 Neymar signing, they now need our 2014 mercato. They have been good at exploiting free agents but...

    Real Madrid

    Alonso had Liverpool and Bayern on their knees for him to join them and he passed on that opportunity. He isn't going to Real without a certain authority and certain signings, he isn't that stupid or desperate. And he has been in clubs like Liverpool, Bayern and RM as a player, he might not...

    FC Barcelona Femení

    Arsenal made a crazy come back. Beating Lyon 4-1 in France.

    Carlo Ancelotti

    I think the announcement will just be earlier, but he will finish it with them. With that said, if they are taking CWC seriously, they might want the coach change earlier.

    La Liga 24/25

    Villarreal beat Espanyol. Interesting table for La Liga tbh Teams like Espanyol and Valancia are 5 points behind conference league position and 7 points ahead of relegation, with 5 games to go. Bilbao is 5 points ahead of Villarreal and 6 ahead of Betis. The race is gonna be tough with...

    Dean Huijsen

    Even if we tried, why would he even join us? There is no way he will be promised starting spot right away. With EPL throwing money on him, I don't think we can either offer him best financial or sporting package.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Cancelo was traumatizing at the end, but he would be our first choice back up RB, LB & winger if he was still here. Anyway, we won't get him so it is mute discussion.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He did, but I am not sure it means much as Martin still started tbh. Overall he clearly favours one on the other. For me it isn't a Fort vs Martin thing, we need upgrade in the position, period. Right now every indication points to Martin being Flick choice in this squad, and the only way to...

    Serie A

    They will bet on a shithoursey win. Lucky goal and us creating less chances and misses the ones we get. If we are the one who scores first, it could get ugly for them.

    Dumfries is a problem tbh

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Sure, but the coach rates Martin above all who are in the club other than Balde, so choosing not to sign a LB will be choosing Martin as our backup for another year. That is just the reality of it.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    I pointed to this to @Joan yesterday. Ferran and then Fermin and Gavi started playing a little bit dirty to match RM and it kinda paid off. Then again, an argument can be made that it made us to try to match their game rather than playing ours

    Frank Rijkaard

    Many won't remember this, but the first time I saw Barca playing with offside trap during full season was the 2004/2005 season under him. Oleguer and Gio loved to be onside and Puyol had to clear their mess many times. It was the closest thing to Flick Ball in defensive strategy

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Fort might became that one day, but I can't see it happening within the next 2 seasons. He already lost a year of development this year. Maybe Torrents can be this guy and save us some money. Personally, if we have to take a gamble on young players I prefer doing so with the wingers. I can...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    You don't have a season like this and then decide to make massive changes in the team. You can forget about this idea already. Raphinha ain't leaving before the WC either. Joan García and Lucas Chevalier are the two most obvious choices based on age, cost and performance (based on data)...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    He was good last year before getting injured. This year he got injury early on and took it out of his system. He is a streaky player, he needs rhythm and confident to perform and when those gets interrupted it is a problem.

    CL Semi Final: Barca - Inter 3-3

    Most of the starters, Bastoni and Mkhtyrian are resting, Thuram is injured and unlikely to play on Wednesday, Dumfries is coming from injury and likely getting minutes today. Augusto for Dimaeco coupd also happens in CL, he rotates between the two.

    Dumfries on the bench against Roma. He will surely starts vs us.

    Joan Laporta

    I was full on this last night. However, with Semifinals in our way, I am not sure of it. Time and time again, it shows you can't isolate players from off the pitch crying. Real Madrid players bought into the club mental games and the lost their heads with every normal decision not going their...
