    Frenkie de Jong

    Truth. But tbf to the club, that was Dr. Cugat who was one of the best knee surgeons in the entirety of Europe, and was affiliated with the club and Spain since 1992. Pep used to take Bayern and City players to operate under him. But he was in his 70's and clearly lost his touch, Stegen, Fati...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    And Roque. But soon the 2026 patch will negotiate renewals and MATS won't be top longest 6 or even 10 contracts. MATS renewed in 2023 and lowered his salary (probably redistributed some) so 5 years was expected. tbf, he will be 35 during most of his last season. That isn't bad.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Opting for conservative treatment is always option one, people love talking about surgeries as a magical treatment that people should just go for, when it is rarely the case. And no mattee what people think about, a player own health will always be his decision. There is nothing that can be...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I think @Joan had a point, that the latest leaks about his injury means Barca are no more hoping for big sale for him, that this ship has sailed. If anything, if his ankle still prove to be a problem this season, I think the club shouldn't be offering him renewal, nd wait to see how he does in...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Yes. But apparently this time it was a delay from Las Palmas, that is why we didn't announce it immediately (or all, didn't follow up tbh)

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yes, I will prioritise them over those for sure, unless there is a clear cut solution for one of those positions. Not the Zubimendi of the world, who will just be solid at best.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I know, that is why I said when we have funds, that is the first thing I want them to address.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    One problem I've with current team, and Barca since Covid, is that they accommodate too much for La Masia, and a bit too early. Back during Laporta first stint, a player like Messi had Giuly ahead of him, but he forced himself on the team by being so good. The same happened with Busquets...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I doubt Halaand is ever leaving City at his prime, never mind coming to Barca. But even assuming that we want and capable of getting him or the next one to appear on the scene, the question is why they would come? A player like that won't come for a paper thin squad, he will want a team were...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    BTW, there is some twitter chatter about Amara Diouf, who has allegedly signed with Metz. His club forced him to play while he is injured, and he moved to Barcelona for treatment, I suspect that is the reason of this rumours. Some says his Metz deal is broken now, and he and Barca might agree...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    This might be unpopular opinion, but if have funds, then I will address depth before starting players. It has been some time since we had proper backup fullbacks (currently, both are B team players), we don't have a decent backup GK, CB depth are likely to be thin as I expect Eric to be sold...

    23 - Jules Kounde

    I think it is, original one was weird one but not a dress. Edit yeah, the original one is posted by @Messi983 earlier, look at the background

    Xavi complained from day one, but it was about players. Only at the end he complained about the situation

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Found out that they have played against Zamalek SC in Confederation Cup last season in the semi finals, he played 180 minutes (2nd biggest club in Egypt and arguably in Africa). Was asking around, and apparently he was standout in the games especially considering his age. After the tie they...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Why? Players always prefer conservative treatment whenever possible. This isn't a black or white situation, it is very common that the right course of action is conservative, and it is also common that it doesn't always work.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Even if they are good, the worst thing for them is to start their career as backup GK who rarely plays. This was a big part of Inaki issues tbh, he overstayed in the club at both B team and as backup. While he was always overrated, he had better potential than what he is now. And it is also...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    https://www.transfermarkt.com/statistik/endendevertraege Valles should be priority at GK. I think we can sway him from Betis. RB: Only Dumfries is interesting, he is a bit overrated and likely demand a bigger salary than what he should get, but for backup he is more than adequate. LB: Tyrick...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Do you have the guy who posted the thread on your ignore list? It won't show up if this is the case. You will have to go to bottom of the "other players" page, click "show ignored content" and it will show up. I also suspect that the opposite is true too, if he has you on ignore list, you...

    When is he coming from injury?

    His own club just announced on social media (twitter and FB) that we have officially signed him before transfer deadline.
