    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We do that with Betis, and then fans get mad about it. Doing it in Portugal seems like a good idea, but Barca appreciate developing players close from home so much

    Ibrahim Diarra

    Different game, obviously, but it is more clear he is being used centrally. Which I honestly agree with, he is more of D.Olmo type.

    His style is surely attractive tbh, maybe not Lebron's attractive but he is a walking highlight machine IMHO. Crazy stuff, he completed treble double in the 3rd, then by end of the game he added another treble double.

    This sounds like Raphinha tbh. It feels like buying a LW to convert him to no9. It could be worth trying next year tbh

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I see him as a decent cheap option like we had in Digne for example back in the day. Someone worth below 25M. I am not sure Monaco will sell for such number, though. I would prefer Mingueza for cheap, if he accepts coming back, or if we are going to splash some cash then get Omar from...

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Maybe not now, but historically it was. Ter Stegen and Bravo were top 10 most expensive GK ever in 2014 at 12M deals. We signed lord Mathieu and Vermaelen cost us more. Neuer is still a top 10 most expensive GK at 30M, Ederson at 40M is 5th most expensive and Kepa is still World record at 80M...

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Barca wasn't that demanding from GK until Pep's era, and Buffon would have been a success anywhere at any time. The "Buffon wouldn't have succeeded here" is the Catalan version of 'can they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke'.

    Not a bad appearance today.

    Nico or Leao?

    Niether of them. But if we have to choose then it is Nico.

    New goalkeeper?

    If Tek renews, we won't sign anyone for sure. Maybe a Mamardisvhille type of signing for 2026, but even that is doubtful after Roque's fiasco. In that scenario, Pena is likely sold, Yaakob will be starting for B team with obe if Astralaga and Kochen either promoted and the other is getting...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He is highly rated RB, but a very defensive one. I am not sure he has it in him to be part of a team like Barca, it is always a risk when the player is playing in a totally different style.

    La Liga 24/25

    They aren't that talented, and are overachiever. I've been consistent in that. You are basing your argument based on opinion on the coach, and fitting everything else for that narrative. Bilbao always had NT players, always had couple of very goid players. That isn't the closest to their best...

    La Liga 24/25

    And why are those players doing well? Maybe the coach actually has something to do with it?

    La Liga 24/25

    Bilbao squad isn't much better, if any, than Betis, Villarreal or Sociedad. Betis after Jan window is now the 4th best with wide margin as they massively improved their attack. It is the same case with Simeone's Atletico, where people overrate players thanks to manager work, and then blame him...

    Joshua Zirkzee

    False 9 is your best bet, the later is essentially a playmaker for your wingers and AM, who will do the scoring while he does some playmaking or open spaces with them. Motta used him that way, but Manu needed a scoring beast.
