    Neymar Jr.

    I highly recommend you to take 30-35 minutes of your time schedule and watch those videos if you understand Spanish. I was not comparing the cases in terms of emotional consequences, sporting impact, disappointment etc. What hurt about Figo's move was that he was the captain and most...

    Adrien Rabiot

    People are talking like the magnitude of QSG is even remotely similar to that of Barça. Rabiot would not be able to even pull such "stunts" off at Barça. Vidal (a much more controversial and accomplished figure) tried a few months ago but he was quickly put in his place and now only praise comes...

    Neymar Jr.

    It's not nonsense. Neymar acted far more disrespectful towards the club than Figo ever did. The club had pampered Neymar to an absurd extend from the very beginning and Rosell was willing to use illegal methods and help ruin the club's reputation in order to buy that snake. Figo was an exemplary...

    Neymar Jr.

    We played our best, most dominating and most fluid football between 2008-2011. There was no Neymar back then. Individual statistics are nice and all but the team is always the most important thing. Statistics are often misleading as well. RM's best season (goalwise) in the league was during...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    He has played 10 senior games (not sure how many of those 10 appearances are full games, I doubt that it is the majority without checking it) at the age of 19. That is not uncommon for talents in Ligue 1 at all. By the age of 19, Varane (who I rate as the best central defender in the world when...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I would prefer a final and lasting retirement from the Argentina football national team. His entire focus, ideally, should be on Barça and Barça only. Speaking about his football career here. As I wrote, I could not care less about Argentina's football national team or the moronic and...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I could not care less how Messi looks like or his fashion style but when I get such photos "thrown in the face" without asking, I can't help but wonder what the hell Messi thought about when he decided to have those hideous leg tattoos made.:lol: Let us hope that he never returns to play a...

    Moussa Wague

    If Valverde was lesser of a coward and not too obsessed about short-sighted goals and results, a player like Wague, could easily start in at least a few CdR games or at least play a few minutes here and there. Likewise in easier league games at the Camp Nou. It's not like either Semedo or Sergi...

    Adrien Rabiot

    It has looked like a done deal for months. This just further confirms it. Only more absurd demands from Rabiot's mother could mess this deal up as I see it. I would actually not be against buying him for a small fee (there has been talk of 5 million euros) next month. His early arrival might be...

    Moussa Wague

    Expected but nevertheless great news. I have high hopes for this kid as he has impressed me whenever I have watched him in action this season. It should not be the hardest challenge in his life to give Semedo and Roberto a bit of competition. Of course Valverde will have the final say but he...

    Paul Pogba

    Pogba has wasted 2.5 years of his career at Man Utd. Imagine what 2.5 years of work with Pep at Man City could have done to his football abilities and tactical understanding of the game. There is no doubt in my mind that he would be a much better player today. He is not consistently world...

    Pep Guardiola

    Spot on. Have in mind as well, as I wrote above, that the same Cruyff philosophy has contributed immensely to the past 30-25 years of club success. In that same period there is not a single club that has been more successful than Barça trophy wise and dare I say in terms of football philosophy...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    I can't see anything special about him either. Judging from the video posted in this thread that is. I don't believe that he will be a long-term option or the new Varane as ridiculously claimed. Todibo does not seem to have even remotely the same pace as Varane. Let alone him being a long-term...

    Carlos Naval (club delegate since 1972)

    Carlos Naval One of the more interesting and long-serving (if not the longest serving) employees at the club in recent memory. Carlos Naval has been a club delegate ever since 1972. He has witnessed from very close hand the era of Cruyff as a player and manager, Maradona and Schuster's time at...

    Virgil van Dijk

    He has been a great addition to Liverpool but like everyone else he is benefiting from a well-functioning and strong collective. I doubt that Van Dijk would have played as well in a dysfunctional team or even for us earlier in the season when we were giving away goals for fun. That should not...

    Neymar Jr.

    That's what I am a talking about. Fans only seeing names and obsessing about their FIFA lineups etc. You realize that we played our best football in recent memory with Messi, Pedro and Villa? 2 hardworking, humble and talented attackers. How well did we do with Messi, Neymar and Suárez in their...

    Neymar Jr.

    I am not betting or counting on it at all but there is rarely any smoke without a fire. I have no doubt in my mind that, as absurd as this sounds to my ears, that there have been talk about a possible return from both camps. How realistic it is can always be discussed. Hopefully it will never...

    Neymar Jr.

    I have no doubt in my mind that Bartofeo would be dumb, desperate and short-sighted enough to buy a 27.5 year old Neysnake back next summer for 1 trillion euros, should the opportunity arise. It would just be the perfect and final nail in the coffin (for the deluded lot) who refuse to admit or...

    Pep Guardiola

    What has this to do with anything? During that time I was active on a local Barça and social media (Twitter). I follow the club daily as I have done for almost 20 years. This forum has different members with different opinions. In any case this forum is just a tiny, tiny, tiny representation of...

    Who do you want as Barça manager next season?

    Before appointing any manager the board better come up with a well-functioning sporting project (at last) so there will be a cohesion between the sporting project, the manager (who is trying to implement the sporting project in practice) and the players (squad). Until that is not fully solved...
