    If we sell someone for significant money, it will be either Araujo or Fermin. Those are the two players that clubs would be willing to pay good value for. I suspect we will see if someone is willing to make an offer for Araujo when he has his BO period, but if it doesn't happen, we will...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I don't know if the rule changes has been approved or not tbh. Maybe from next year. However, there is also the fact that several existing contracts has to be registered too, and we only has exception for 3 spots for one year. So, Tebas might claim Lewa, Inigo and soon Tek, will have to be...

    How many steps are needed for Nico?

    Another factor is the depth in the CM/CDM together. If Bernal comes back healthy, that is Pedri/Frenkie/Casado (the 3 that had the 2 positions last season) along Bernal and Gavi. This will give a chance for AM position to come from the CM rather than the wingers.

    If Fermin takes another step in his development, and actually stays, Olmo might not be the starting 10 anyway. Fermin has a chance to make it his tbf.

    Diaz played around 14+ games as CF, carrying numbers will suffer from that. Gameplan also plays a part, Liverpool relies more on fullbacks than Bilbao, putting more weight on Nico's shoulder. I think CF will be between Lewa and Torres exclusively when both are healthy, depending on opponents...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I see that my post implies that Lamine is fast, but I didn't mean to. However, I didn't claim that he is slow in his top speed, that's how you mistakenly interpreted it. Speed here is in terms of explosiveness and ability to beat your man with the first step, which is far more important unless...

    Possible. But he is the typical Spanish winger that lacks speed. The ones that made Lucho suffer during his NT tenure before the emergence of Nico and Lamine.

    16 - Fermín López

    They are sounding the agent. No club is going to waste time negotiating before knowing if the player is interested, and what is his demands

    As an alternative, there was no way we were getting both. Barca barely registered Olmo with Christensen injury, then vip sale

    However, 3 things have changed to the club. First, Olmo was signed. Making Raphinha a full time LW. Second, Raphinha excelled in the role. This season, start to end, Raphinha and Salah are probably the best 2 players. Now, with him and Olmo, the need is more of depth and rotation rather than...

    There are few problems in this calculations. 1-Romero is saying Nico RC package is 64M, not 60. 2-Niether Nico nor Diaz are signing 6 years, but look at next point. 3-I doubt Nico is going to have a flat rate salary. 12M is likely the starting salary. At 4th and 5th year, expect significant...

    I mean, Milan isn't in Champions league, so no worries in that regard.

    It is still about cost, even at 12M he is much more costly than what the club expects Diaz to cost.

    Cardoso Varela (loaned to Dinamo)

    That's fair. There team is awful and coaches will be easy scapegoats. Still, I think there are someone better than him who would be interested. Even F.Inzaghi would be better and he probably prefer NT over 2nd divisions.

    Club World Cup

    Interesting match in a few minutes between Porto and Palmeiras. Mostly for those who loves to watch prospects. We can get a look at our former legend Roque, the one that got away Estevao. Porto has half of the starting lineup from ypung players that should be followed by bigger clubs; Martim...

    Club World Cup

    If I understand correctly (very possible I don't) the 4 winners of CL from each continent qualify regardless of any other thing. From Europe, that is Real, along City and Chelsea. Europe has additional seats, but no league can get more that 2 seats unless it is through winning CL. So, had...
