    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Just when you were sensing a slight improvement of his, he imediately returned to his default level. That Semedo substitution was baffling. There was no logical explanation behind this "tactical" decision whatsoever. Likewise the Aleñá substitution who was our best midfielder (by far) and the...

    Emerson

    Just like I wrote after taking a look at a Atlético Miniero forum. He has not exactly set the world on fire for the Brazilian youth teams either according to virtually every rating and report. Anyway, I doubt that he will be as bad as the Douglas transfer but it is nevertheless a very strange...

    Liverpool

    :lol: I believe that Liverpool, despite being perpetual bottlers, are slight favorites to finally win their first league title in 29 years. In particular as Man City, unlike Liverpool, is fighting on all fronts. If Man City beats Everton (very likely to occur) away from home tomorrow...

    17 - Jeison Murillo

    Too soon to tell. Todibo is most likely going to play very rarely if ever for the senior team. I expect him to mostly play for the B team while training regularly with the senior team. He might get a few 5-10 minute appearances here and there but that will be about it, I imagine. He is more of...

    Copa 22/23

    Not a bad prediction as the RFEF would probably love Betis to reach the final at home to make it more exciting on paper and give the final more exposure. However if exposure is the goal I suspect them not wanting us and RM to meet each other before a potential final. I would not be surprised to...

    Basketball/NBA

    Fair enough. You are all pretty similar in the vicinity anyway, I guess. Slav or Balt. Although I have to say that Latvian women are very beautiful. The few tha I have encountered. None wanted the "Russian" label on them.:D Fair point. I thought that Jordan was doing rather well defensively...

    Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

    Too soon to tell but his career at Lazio seems to mirror that of Felipe Anderson (2014-15 season). Both had seasons where they performed better than usual at a fairly young age and both were very much hyped as a consequence. With the obligatory transfer rumors of top club x and y wanting to buy...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    It is just a number guys and in Spain you can't choose numbers higher than 25. MD proving to be the most informed local paper as usual. They have been consistently well-informed this month. I guess Bartomeu's recent meeting with Nolla had its effects. Nolla looked like a happy little school boy...

    Basketball/NBA

    Not sure what made Howard the better player? Offensively he was lightyears away from AD at his best. AD has been no joke either defensively. Leading several defensive stats in the league. Most importantly, AD has not failed for a top dog in the spectacular fashion that Howard did later to...

    Basketball/NBA

    Is Porzingis not a Latvian and thus a Balt? I don't think that he would like to be called a Slav with Russians being the closest Slavs in the vicinity and given the historical aspect.:lol: Anyway not sure if that is such a great deal for Dallas. You guys better hope that he won't remain plagued...

    Emerson

    Never seen in him in action for even a second but local Miniero fans judge his talent differently, the majority of them don't rate him overly much from what I could see on their forum. Anyway he can be watched currently during the South American U20 Championship where he has been a starter so...

    Arda Turan

    Man, glad, that I always disliked this Erdogan turd.

    Samuel Umtiti

    All those emojis nowadays.:lol: We want an injury update FFS. It's been 2+ months now. Good to see him running and doing some exercises at least.

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    On his way. Will be presented tomorrow. He won't be loaned out and won't have any problems playing for the B team. https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190131/46123351219/todibo-a-punto-de-ser-azulgrana-hoy-mismo.html A deal between us and Toulouse is very close to being...

    Neymar Jr.

    Or Bolsonaro. Another one-liner.:dembele: Will we ever see you argue against any of my factual statements? Not much time left this year seeing that QSG is a few weeks away from being knocked out of the CL as usual and that obviously means that you will perform your famous ( :lol: ) annual...

    Neymar Jr.

    Are you going to counter any of my factual points in my posts (from our perspective as Barça fans) or are you going to pretend that I and others here are thinking about Neymar 24/7 despite me writing less than 15 posts about him (all in the past 2 weeks) 18 months after his move away? You need...

    Neymar Jr.

    Yes, I am obsessed about him. Who is not? No, not at all. I think that I have written less than 15 posts in this thread since he left. So not obsessed. I just thought that the video of him and him returning to BCN at first sight was telling. Looking at his footballing deroute since he left...

    Wu Lei

    Schalke and Gladbach? That's some surprise.:lol: That is strange given the fact that Spanish is a many times more widely spoken language than German which is only natively spoken in Germany, Switzerland (rather small country and not everyone speaks German there), Austria, a tiny principality...

    Neymar Jr.

    Nothing sad about a player who is destroying his own career willfully after making a joke of our club, our fanbase and himself in the process. Figo was a more important and decisive player for us during his era, while playing in a significantly worse team and collective, yet I did not hear (back...

    Merveil Ndockyt

    A bizarre move if true. Ballou has looked rather promising every time that I have seen him for the B team. I have missed around half of their games this season so I can't tell if he was painfully bad in all the other games. BTW, how the hell are you supposed to pronounce his surname...
