    Marco Verratti

    Verratti would be the perfect fit and there is an almost unanimous consensus about this being the case in the local media, fan forums, among "experts" and likely within the board as well. The biggest stumbling block is PSG's unwillingness to sell. Should that ever change, I would be quite...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    There has apparently been contact between his agent and Robert in recent weeks. Definitely one to look for but as usual we were too late last spring. Back then I was cursing the board for letting yet another promising youngster escape (we could have bought him prior to Dortmund and loaned him...

    Oliver Torres

    I like Ceballos as well and he would be a interesting option for sure if not for him being an outright idiot and having disciplinary problems. He has a long and old history of insulting FC Barcelona, Catalonia, Piqué etc. Sure those comments are quite old but I believe that such behavior and...

    Marlon Santos

    He did well indeed but it is too soon to make a final judgement. His immediate future depends on that of Mascherano, Mathieu and possible reinforcements arriving this summer or in January 2018 (Davinson & Mina etc.). I believe that a loan to a domestic club and regular playing time will do him...

    Oliver Torres

    Does anyone know how he has been doing this season? Porto bought him for €20 million earlier this year. I know that he is a poor man's Verratti (who is unavailable and regardless of that would cost a fortune) but he is exactly the type of player that we need to buy this summer. Eriksen is...

    Sevilla

    I would obviously love for Sevilla and Sampaoli to cause one of the biggest upsets this season in the league (we all would and I have a weak spot for both as well) but looking at the ground realities it will be next to impossible. Sevilla have nothing to play for as they are practically...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    After a good start Deulofeu has returned to his "old self" so to speak. In other words being inconsistent and making too many wrong decisions too often. I really can't see him making it at the club. The same weaknesses that he displayed 5-6 years ago are still obvious today. Almost no...

    Arda Turan

    Arda is the symbol of everything that has been wrong about the board's transfer policy since 2015. Expensive, mediocre, unnecessary, overrated, hardly any room for improvement due to a rather advanced age etc. On top of that a player who was already declining physically when the club bought him...

    Kasper Dolberg

    Dolberg's movements and body feints remind me of Luis Suárez. This might sound ludicrous but he reminds me of a young Ibrahimovic as well. The technical quality, height, physical strength and link-up play is definitely there and just like with Ibra he is quite quick given his size once he gets...

    Who should be Barça's next coach after Lucho?

    Someone who is capable of making the necessary but tough and likely unpopular changes. Someone who has the respect of the players. A great motivator and a tactically flexible coach. Sampaoli ticked all the right boxes but of course our useless board was either too slow to react or preferred the...

    Champions League 2016/17

    The "Galácticos" only won 1 CL and that was in 2002 against "mighty" Bayer Leverkusen. The "Galácticos era" lasted from the summer of 2000 (when Florentino Pérez got elected) and it ended in 2005. Their wins in 1998 and 2000 occurred under Lorenzo Sanz. During the 1997-98 season they ended...

    Champions League 2016/17

    Juve will win it provided that they will not suffer from injuries to key players. They will have that extra bit of hunger and motivation that might very well decide it. They have the better team cohesion as well and unlike Patético they won't crumble under pressure or lack the mental toughness...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    This transfer would make little sense but for this very reason I expect our useless board to buy him. We don't need another offensive player but players in the mould of Verratti, Weigl, Pjanic etc. Midfielders who can dictate the play and help keep possession. Players that will strengthen the...

    Víctor Machín Pérez (Vitolo)

    A decent player but nothing more than that. Sevilla and similar clubs are his level. He would be a luxury substitute but he is not worth the money (40 million euros) that Sevilla is asking. It would be a waste of time for him as well as he is approaching his best years and sitting on the bench...

    FC Barcelona basketball team

    It did effect him initially and as you might know he was out for a while afterwards. Overall he has performed OK but nothing special. In general the entire team has been a mess. You know it is bad when your most consistent player is Ante Tomic! A supposed star like Tyrese Rice has also failed...

    FC Barcelona basketball team

    Free fall. Another horror season while the eternal rival (RM) are doing very well. So far the worst in living memory. Moltes gràcies, Nobita. You were even able to screw up a section that you were supposedly the most knowledgeable about and a section that you were previously the head of under...

    FC Barcelona Handbol

    The only section that this useless board has not yet destroyed completely. The lack of competition in the domestic league probably has a lot to do with this fact. We are currently all-conquering in Spain and have been that for 6-5 years. The main goal is the Champions League and we reached the...

    Davinson Sanchez

    A new Jaap Stam in the making. I have been highly impressed by him whenever I have seen him in action. Ajax fans who watch him every single time have nothing but praise for him as well. Moreover he was named as “Player of the Year” at Ajax not that long ago. Several top clubs are interested...

    Xavi Hernández

    Greatest midfielder of all time. The brain behind the greatest club team in history and the greatest national team in history. Not enough of words to praise this genius. I should be happy because our club is in a historic position but this news makes me truly sad. This is not a definitive...

    BARCA WiNS LA LIGA!

    I am truly disgusted by that clown show and their obvious RM bias. They are fun in small doses at a time and when RM fail but after watching them far too much in the past 10 days I have to say that they do not entertain me anymore but rather disgust me with their idiotic behavior and obvious...
