    Marco Verratti

    One of my favorite players but the sad thing is that he would have been twice the player had he played in an elite league during the time period that he has been stuck at QSG. Almost 7 freaking seasons. Not only would that have improved him immensely as a player but likewise Italy.

    Mauro Icardi

    One of the most one-dimensional strikers out there who is only useful inside the penalty box. Toxic entourage and prone to creating a fuss in the dressing room. No way should we ever even entertain the idea of signing this guy. I doubt that Florentino is this stupid to buy him either. Could see...

    Neymar Jr.

    Obviously doctors working for us have their own clinics and dealings with local hospitals, private ones included, where they can aid him. I doubt that Neymar is paying them peanuts. It does obviously not happen in their capacity as Barça employees.

    Nicolò Zaniolo

    Inter doing Inter things. Hilarious that you could pay €24 million and include one of the highest rated midfield talents in all of Italy in the deal for a 30 year old bum (one of the least professional footballers out there) in Nainggolan. Although Santon is a mediocre player at best he was part...

    Kylian Muppet

    Why are people overrating this guy so much? He scored 1 goal that Di María created. Against a mediocre Man Utd with one of the worst defenses in the entire CL. Other than that he did not show anything. As much as I am no fan of Neymar, he is twice the player that Mbappé is who MIGHT be a...

    Pep Guardiola

    The same Pep that has 2 CL titles in 9 seasons and countless of CL-semifinals (record number of them I believe)? Best manager by far. Wins countless of trophies everywhere, you are guaranteed to win leagues with him everywhere so far, European success (good ratio), domestic cups, beautiful and...

    Basketball/NBA

    That was a very "Valverde like" reaction.:lol: Anyway a testament to how well the country (Spain) has been doing in regards to building a potent basketball infrastructure (arguably the best in Europe in the past 1-2 decades), talent work and scouting work.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Not talked about this yet but everyone fluent in Spanish and who has had the misfortune to have seen some of his press conferences, before and after games, would also attest to the fact that he comes off as incredibly thick. Not to mention dull which goes without saying. Such a contrast to Pep...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Haha. Priceless.:lol: Absolutely amazing.:lol: Haha. May I be so naughty (already received a warning today for saying that there is a real rivalry, sporting obviously as well, between Croatia and Serbia and that anti-Jovic bias from Croatians here and Reddit MIGHT be due to that = was deemed to...

    Luka Jović

    What is your realistic alternative? Please enlighten me. I mentioned all of the young talented strikers out there who are rumored to top clubs. None of them are arguably any better let alone much better than the Jovic option. In fact based on the likely price none of them are better options. I...

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    When I first read the rumors of us being close to signing him I was drinking a nice cappuccino on my way to work and almost spit half of it out in sheer bafflement. I could not believe my own eyes. Once home again I had to rant here (as can be seen) and to my great surprise I was in the minority...

    Luka Jović

    An Englishman in Barça? Moreover a youngster that is a Man Utd talent and even born in Manchester? What could not go wrong? As likely as us buying Kane. Not a goalscorer either.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    To continue the rant against Malmierda in a more fitting thread. Been saying the same thing since foerever. It all goes back to the spineless board that is not ruthless enough in its dealings and does not know when or how to say goodbye to seniors in the team and unaware that giving almost...

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    Strange that all of those users who "praised" this supposedly "good" move are nowhere to be found. But, but supposedly he is an "alpha" so everything is great. The thing is, Douglas was a great mascot that gave us plenty of luck. Ensured us a triplete and a doblete in the 2 seasons that he was...

    Ivan Rakitić

    What is tiring is your constant defense of every underperforming player and mediocrity at this club. This is Barça. One of the two giants of the game and the most successful football club in the world in the past 30 years based on trophies, worldwide recognition, footballing style/philosophy...

    Ivan Rakitić

    If he does that, barring miracles (looking at Messi here and a few select others namely Dembélé, Alba etc.), we might as well say goodbye to the CdR firstly, later the CL and finally the league race. Indeed. However he is not really the first guy I think about when thinking about tall...

    Luka Jović

    You cannot replace Suárez directly as things stand now. The tiny number of strikers that might be able to replace him are not available. Have you watched him extensively for you to be so certain about him flopping and not even being on the level of Paco? The same Paco that has inferior numbers...

    Luka Jović

    Good stuff. One of my favorites to replace Suárez with. Anyway I always confuse his surname with that of Nikola Jokic.:lol:

    Krzysztof Piatek

    Better. At least more lively and threatening off the ball and probably on the ball as well nowadays. Keeps impressing but we will have to see if he is a one-season wonder or if there is more to him. So far I think that it might be the latter.

    Lautaro Martinez

    Not sure if he would fit stylistically due to his size alone. Not the type of attacker that I could see us ever going for as a first priority. I have not seen him much other than against the likes of us, RM, Atlético and a few other occasions. He does not seem like an overly great goalscorer...
