    Jonathan Tah

    Something we don't know? Dude, Christensen has a tendinitis, Xavi himself admit that. It is a freak of an injury that is chronic and doesn't go away. It isn't even something you can diagnos with a standarized tests X-ray or MRI test in many cases. Look at his minutes. The guy reached 2.5K...

    Jonathan Tah

    1) Ideally, you have healthy players. When you don't, you plan based on that. As said in previous post: Cubarsi is a kid, Christensen is shot, Araujo injury history is scary. Inigo is a 50-50 to stay, and that is a question for only one more year. We have to either address one CB this year, or...

    Jonathan Tah

    So, he is a perfect fit age wise, only won one league in his career, so a hungry player. You are mentioning hunger as a positive thing? Real have signed both Rudiger and Alaba at similar or older age btw. Barca has made their first rebuild mostly by players of that age. Players who peaked and...

    Jonathan Tah

    28 and being older than our CB is the point. We don't need young CB at this point, a guy at that age still has solid 5 years in him. Cubarsi is 17 (almost 18) and even though he is the definition of an early bloomer he shows lack of experience a lot. Having Inigo beside him showed the...

    Kind of love the honesty from Neville

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Tbf, this isn't a bad story. Many deals happen through connections, and those guys who has been long enough in the game, especially at lower levels tend to have those. Pedri deal was like that. Las Palmas felt they needed to cash on him and they had connections with Planas, who talked to Abidal...

    Xavi vs Iniesta

    Xavi was more or less the same CM he was that year, maybe a little more freedom but he wasn't an AM by any mean. That was still Iniesta.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    It will be mostly the Espai Barca project from what I understand, work will start after finishing Camp Nou. Madrid stadium looks ugly, they failed in sound isolation, and so far their pitch is the worst in Europe top clubs. With sone pointing to it as a cause of the several ACL injuries they...

    Estêvão

    Not necessarily flops, but he could fail to displace Palmer and a lucrative move might be best option for all involved. Premature discussion though, he still needs to show himself in Europe

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    As Arsene Wenger always say: quick players age better if it isn't for injuries. Losing a step means they are still quick, losing 2 means they are now average speed. Slow player lise a step and now they are easy to contain. Both Messi and CR7 were super athletic, in different ways, and it...

    Perez did sold ton shit of levers, and about to sell stake in the club. Perez is the fucking pioneer of levers, Laporta is the one who just couldn't shut up his mouth about it

    Xavi vs Iniesta

    And the only reason Xavi was in top 3, was because Iniesta scored that goal in the first place, with Spain having one of the ugliest World Cup champion campaigns ever. Otherwise top 3 wouldn't have had any Spanish player, deservingly. So, it isn't like Iniesta robbed him or something. He is one...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Porto Palmeiras, Ahly SC and Inter Miami in the first group of the 2025 Club World Cup. Messi vs Ahly in the opener. Not a big name to face, but no easy team. Could very well end 2nd or 4th depending on how they reinforce the team.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    We aren't selling it to register Olmo, this has been reported since last season. Normal practice as Porque said. We aren't broke, we are overspending to our abilities. We have 400M+ salary cap, we don't see it as enough and spending over it.

    Nico Williams

    Yeah, he is a bit of an athlete rather than a guy who knows how to toy with the ball. His dribbling is basic and his delivery isn't that good. But he knows his limits and doesn't force the issue, this allows him to be fairly productive

    Nico Williams

    I mean I said he isn't a good a dribbler. You want to change that into awful then it's ok :ROFLMAO:

    Nico Williams

    One thing I want to say, there is a lot to criticise Nico for, but his iq isn't one of them. If anything, he is a smart winger who knows where to be and what to do. He is actually a bit limited on the ball, his dribbling isn't top notch and so is his finishing. Many if his decisions are based...

    Xavi vs Iniesta

    Only in 2008 it was Xavi team. There was a reason they pushed Xavi out of position many games in the World Cup, where he had to play with his back to the opponent's goal. They changed the game to fit double pivot of Busquets and Alonso. That wasn't a Xavi team. In 2012 Iniesta was the better...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Honestly, No. It is the sad reality of hype disappointing people. Frenkie is a good player, and decent starter for a club like us. That's his level. Abidal made a 30M offer for him in summer 2018, and had we got that offer accepted, everyone would be talking about him differently. Instead...

    Alexander Isak

    I mean the same can be said about Gordon, Tonali, Guimaraes. They have very good players, but kind of stucked in the middle of nowhere instead of completing the squad.
