    Ernesto Valverde

    It's been a few days since you said so. Was worried he changed. All good now!

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I would prefer if he didn't start. Hopefully if fit, he can get minutes in the second half (not to save our asses I hope). This way we can see what kind of Starting 11 Valverde will choose and if if the team can start to cope without him in some matches.

    Premier League 2018/19

    That last one you mention was a blatant foul. I was in awe when that wasn't given (as was the caster). About the physicality thing, I get it. But there was another instance when the goalie jumps for the ball, loses it cleanly, the striker scores and it was given a foul. Go figure!!! They're not...

    Neymar Jr.

    All that is true, provided he is utter garbage though. I am not Neymar's supporter, but he is not garbage. He is a brilliant footballer. His style may not be your cup of tea but denying his abilities is only based on pure biased hatred and nothing more. What we should add to calculations like...

    Neymar Jr.

    Both of you go for extremes here. We will not offer 150m and save 26m thus making it 124m and we will not lose 600m (WTF man, 5 year span? too many unknown variables there and a huge simplification). If any of the stuff we' been hearing has any truth, we would spend around 220m for him. I...

    And the thing is, that being a good teacher has nothing to do with being a master at your art. You can be the Crème de la crème but still a bad teacher, or you can be bang average and still a great teacher.

    Our XI for 2019/20

    I wouldn't have a problem swapping Dembele for Ronaldo for one year. I hate Ronaldo's character but I would be lying if a said that him and Messi together in the same lineup wouldn't be devastating. Also, it would be an amazing blow to all Madrid fans. DO IT BARTO.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He could run because he was subbed in some minutes before and had fresh legs. Any barca player should be able to do that in the same situation. It was a very bad miss. Unlucky Pique didn't get the ball, as he is very consistent in front of goal. We have been over this, Dembele was just subbed...

    Neymar Jr.

    Yes it is. Everyone is starting to see the pattern here.

    Ernesto Valverde

    We know he is a "Barca DNA" advocate, since he actually WAS that Barca DNA. That should lead us to the conclusion that he will try to play total football and tiki-taka. And that's why most of the Barca fans would like him as a coach. But, you can't say things like: "Managers like Pep have a...

    Neymar Jr.

    But, you cannot evaluate only based on potential. We can't ignore that he was injured for 2 straight years. Also we can't ignore that he doesn't want to stay at PSG, that PSG fans hate him, that he fell out with the Club Owners and the press and that Barcelona is the only interested and able...

    Neymar Jr.

    35m for 1 year loan with an obligation to buy at 175m next summer is not a real offer for you? How much would you value Neymar?

    Neymar Jr.

    I am not sure but if this is true: it is time we pull out and let them keep him. That is a huge offer to turn down and it feels like they are toying with us. Losing the first game of the season shouldn't have any effect on our negotiating position, but it seems we are ready to bend over and...

    Ernesto Valverde

    These seem like unfounded assertions to me. Truth is we don't know how he would fit. All we know is that he does not have the experience yet to coach Barca. He most probably doesn't have the authority over his former teammates too. All that being said, we don't need to make any assertions about...

    Neymar Jr.

    Next week will be crucial I guess :troll:!!! We shouldn't believe anything. Just wait and see what happens. There is no point. 1982375812350 different rumors everyday.

    Champions League 2019-20

    Pot 3 seems pretty decent to me. Why would we want only powerhouses in the competition? That would be unfair for smaller teams and countries. CL is their chance to get exposure and get bigger as clubs. Very elitist viewpoint in my opinion.

    Ernesto Valverde

    I disagree that we need a "proven veteran coach" as much as I disagree we need an "inexperienced former legend coach" per se. Both options would fail without a sporting project. Without a plan, be it short or long term. It all depends on your viewpoint, and this is mine: A "proven veteran...
