    Did we ever produce a Barca level no9 from La Masia? We produced few good GK (Valdes, Reina), CB (Puyol, Cubarsi, Pique), Fullbacks (Balde, Alba, Roberto), wingers (Messi, Pedro, Lamine) and I don't need to talk about midfield. Striker though? Closest things are false 9 Messi, and Icardi who was...

    It is a deeper ethical question and how much are you paid isn't part of it, NBA has failed to force players who are trying to enter the league to share their medicals for decades. I think they managed to have some leeway only recently, although I stopped caring that much about the CBA. Europe...

    What is the fuck are you talking about? :ROFLMAO: Ter Stegen is sharing the information with the Club, he isn't consenting the club sharing it to a 3rd party which is La Liga. And he is absolutely entitled to that by the law, hence why the club is requesting it and not doing it alone. Trying to...

    Nagelsmann will tell all his players to go and play, but at the end I doubt it will matter that much, Marc is still better than any German GK not named Neuer and when it is decision time, he won't care that much about him being on the bench for Barca, veteran GK can usually keep form in such...

    The judge himself said we won the Olmo case due to mistakes in La Liga papers, otherwise they would have won it. It was literally Tebas incompetence that saved us. La liga has changed the rules, and we could re-register players again afaik, the problem is still the vip seats. It is the club...

    What is your opinion on him? he seems like one of those strikers who will do a Sorloth and score 15 goals in 16 games, with all of his goals being scored in 2 games. I don't think his overall game is good either

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    He was, but he sold his soul to the devil, i.e the club. He is an absolute clown now, and he was one of the journalists who kept claiming Marc is training alone because he is mad at the club, and then we realize it was due to injury. He only speaks of the club view, and has no problem attacking...

    Diego Simeone

    What do we mean by spend? The annual cost of Barca squad is twice as Atletico, we were top 4 in Europe last year. Atletico is distant 3rd in La Liga financial ability, and they perform the same way. Transfer budget is a fraction of money clubs spend, and even if you consider it as the money...

    Joan Laporta

    There will never be any project if renovation without putting financial burden on some of the next boards. Clubs can't operate like that

    With Thiago Alcantara back in 2013, and we ended up selling him.

    https://www.transfermarkt.com/marc-casado/profil/spieler/636695 This is what journalist mean when they say market value. It is transfermarket which itself states that it is dependent on the valuation of it's own members in many cases. It is usually a mix between lazy journalism and clickbait.

    Barca 2025 pre-season

    Possibly, Middle East (depending on politics), Malaysia are options too.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Second half of last season was his best IMO, first half he was our worst starter but he stepped up later.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Alba was still one of our best offensive weapon even when Messi left. His runs and crosses are great regardless of teammates. Yes, having better teammates obviously helps. Alba isn't in "goat tier" because it is crowded right there, the likes of Maldini, Carlos and even Marcelo are fairly ahead...

    Deco

    A short over simplistic answer is that his hands are tied and it is still hard to judge, signs are mixed but I would say he is solid. A full answer is more complicated than this. For me, it starts with what is the role of SD? and how we judge it? For most fans, SD is some guy sitting on his...

    Girona FC

    I agree with that. Echeverri is a good talent, however I feel it is also another too early move for him. This generation (players born between 2003-2006) of Argentinians has yet to make an impact in their first club in Europe, and it feels that the greed of clubs that rule out smaller clubs in...

    Deco

    And Ferran Torres. Renewals is a big issue because of the situation Alemany left Deco for. Deco was hired and took over less than 2 years ago, and by the end of the window all the contracts of the first team will be signed by him, except for Ter Stegen, Fati & Inaki (we are trying to get rid...

    Both Reis and Echeverri are expected to complete a loan deal to Girona.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    IIRC he will be a stakeholder when a new expansion team is made. That was a deal that was made with the league and not Miami itself. PS: In 2028, Thiago will be 16, safe to say he doesn't care that much about putting his kids in a bigger football academy.

    Are we favourites for the next Champions League?

    Their defense, when complete, is fairly strong. They can hold onto a lead when they needed to and focused. Nothing spectacular, but strong enough. Their offense isn't "spectacular" either as individual btw, it is more of being fluid and having multiple outlets while being dependent on fullbacks...
