    Juan Brandariz - Chumi

    I do not believe this claim at the slighest. It says that it won't effect our CdR run. No need to worry at all. Levante has no case as per the law so they can go and screw themselves. Lost at every instance so far. Won't change. 2-5 YEAR ban? Really? Nobody believes in such a disproportional...

    Copa | Quarter Final: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 6-3 agg.

    It did not work and there is nothing called "almost" in football or elite sport. It was a half-arsed job. I have no problem with Valverde and the team not prioritizing the CdR this season (been saying that for years) but then I don't understand why Suárez, Coutinho and Alba were put into...

    Juan Brandariz - Chumi

    Where do you get this information from? As far as I am aware of the case was closed when TAD declined Levante's complain. https://okdiario.com/deportes/futbol/2019/01/23/tad-confirma-cacicada-rechaza-recurso-del-levante-barcelona-sigue-copa-3613199 Even if this would not be the case, Levante...

    Neymar Jr.

    Suits him well that his career has been on a downward spiral on every front ever since the idiotic snake left us dry. I for once enjoy his dismiss and sincerely hope that he will do a "Ronaldinho" or "Brazil classic" and decline within the next 1-2 seasons as he is slowly approaching 30 and...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Is it really that difficult to understand that this topic is not black and white but that it depends on several factors some of which (if not all of them) I mentioned in detail on page 56 and onwards. How hard is it to understand that IF Umtiti is fit and won't have any long-term problems, if...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Nothing wrong with that factual statement. The CB position, provided as I wrote that Umtiti will return soon and Todibo will get a chance and prove himself, is not our most pressing position to strengthen. Certainly not pressing enough to invest €80 million (at least) in MDL as talented as he is...

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    We saw some of his many limitations in action tonight in his current version (approaching 32 years of age). Had some decent moments as well in terms of holding the ball with his back to the goal and laying it off. However he is not a player, at all, that I expect to change dynamics of games or...

    Frenkie de Jong

    The football world does not evolve around the CL only. Their La Liga record is not only "not that great" but pathetic. 2 league titles in 11 seasons is criminally bad for a club of RM's stature and budget. As for the CL, while we have underperformed in the past 3 seasons, during the past 5...

    Adrien Rabiot

    No, well before. There was already serious interest last spring well before Rabiot became a serious target. If media reports are to be believed. I would not be surprised if we already have a verbal agreement with Rabiot and being clear favorites to sign him.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    I will ask again. Are you retarded? I am being serious here. Where and when did I say that we have a "world class" defence? Show the post and exact quote. What I objected to was your retarded claim of us having ZERO "top defenders" and MDL being better than Umtiti and everyone else that we...

    Copa | Quarter Final: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 6-3 agg.

    Valverde set himself up for failure from the very beginning with that lineup. It was bound to fail even against a struggling Sevilla of late. I don't like such half-arsed solutions. Either you capitulate the CdR or use a somewhat sensible lineup. Using KPD alone up front for the first time ever...

    Sergi Roberto

    Sure. His name is Emerson and he is 19 years old and plays for Clube Atlético Mineiro. https://www.transfermarkt.es/emerson/profil/spieler/476344 Apparently Abidal and Segura are impressed. They watched him in action for Brazil U20 and were convinced of landing him. If local sources are to be...

    Sergi Roberto

    Yes, in hindsight. Most were rightly skeptical about him before Inter loaned him and Juventus eventually decided to sign him after Inter refused to buy him. Mostly due to lack of funds but if they really had wanted him they would have bought him instead of Nainggolan. He seems to fit better in...

    Sergi Roberto

    A very limited player that gets exposed when he plays as a right back or wing-back in particular. Outside of a few spells of great form, I never understood why he plays as frequently as he does other than him being a local canterano, a non-problematic personality and a very versatile player. He...

    Valencia

    Twice? Not bad. Remember being scared shitless as a child when I first visited it and spotted that Mother Mary figure who looks at you from all angles.:lol: Those are some great spots to visit when visiting Costa Brava. I like Cadaqués, Calella de Palafrugell and Tossa de Mar of those 5 that...

    Frenkie de Jong

    A shame that he can't play for us already this season. He would do wonders for our static midfield.

    Copa | Quarter Final: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 6-3 agg.

    The team's intensity was a joke. Piqué was totally absent and committed one elementary mistake after the other. Lenglet was not much better. The formation made no sense whatsoever. Either you are selling this game from the beginning completely or you decide to use a somewhat sensible lineup. The...

    Sell Pique this summer?

    Only if he is replaced by the likes of de Light, Konaté or another highly rated CB. If Umtiti's knee is messed up it would be unlikely for the club to replace two theoretic starters in the same transfer window. Can't see such a thing happening. He was appealing tonight but Lenglet was not much...

    Malcom

    Not helping his case with misses like that. Way too soon to judge him. When you have zero consistency, barely any playing time and thus as a result very little if any confidence and are playing, almost every single time, with makeshift lineups and new players, the end result cannot be a pretty...

    Neymar Jr.

    What a shame. Poor little Neymar.
