    Hypothetical Question

    No, his time here had came to an end, he left at 34, not when he was a spring chicken. It has also alliwed us to move on from the rest of pur old core and start getting younger.

    Frenkie de Jong

    tbf, Adriano was an underrated beast of a fullback :LOL:

    Mikayil Faye

    You are seriously basing your "leadership " argument on him being captain of our U-15 team 7 years ago? I can't counter argument with such logic tbh :D

    When did Garcia ever showed leadership in the first team football? It is the an La Masia old myth. Pep has praised ton of players, and said a lot of bullshit, and contradict himself all the time. If he is praising foreign players in bs way, then sure as hell he is more biased toward Catalan...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    Italian league might be worth following in terms of coaches, Motta developing a good career there, same as Cesc. Will be interesting to see how their career develops.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    And so far it seems we are broke as fuck too. It is the same tale every year tbh, we are talking Kimmich and Zubimendi but sign FA and loan some players. Even the board current mouthpiece F.Polo (the new, less clownish Gerard Romero) said the we told the agents of Kimmich and Zubimendi that...

    Vitor Roque

    He did though. People are mixing things up here, Xavi approved signing him last summer, he didn't approve bringing him early.

    Negative Thinking Cules

    Young players went to RM when we were the more successful club and had Messi, like Vini & Rodrygo along other names. Young players are driven by 2 main things: Money and a route to play. Barca currently can't outbid anyone and moreover can't promise first team as we can't register anyone this...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He will be the LW most likely. He has played as an inside winger this season and I can see him taking the Gavi role from 2022/2023. In other words, I feel Guido & Simons are the big addition for next year.

    Eric success in City? Man was a walking disaster there, most of their fans couldn't wait until he leaves. And he is 23, sure fairly young but hardly a prospect.

    Yan Couto

    We have met with one of CAA agents yesterday btw, it is the agency representing him, along dozens of other players. He has one year left in contract, I don't think he will cost more than 20M at most. I am still mot sure he is worth it,he is a small offensive fullback tbh. I am not sure we can...

    Xavi Hernández

    You can't bring Everton and Napoli with Ancelotti and then bring Pep to the discussion. When has ever Pep overachieved with his team? He had the best squad in every trophy he has won, by a large margin. Barca and Bayern both had best squads in the world, City only won CL when they had twice the...

    Joan Laporta

    Frankly, I think he was decent player. But he was a CM capable of being an emergency DM He was a bit of a Kessie level of player in those roles, but we wanted him to be CB/DM It was one of our early deals where we were obsessed with players who can cover multiple positions, but end up not being...

    Kylian Muppet

    Griezmann, Pogba and Varane were better than him in 2018 tbh, in 2022 Griezmann was still their best player until the final. Football has been always about those eternal moments and people forget the rest, like how many think Zidane was the hero in 1998 WC when he was almost non existent until...

    Joan Laporta

    I mean, they were strong and yet they had only 1 Cdr to celebrate in Pep 2nd and 3rd year. After that it was the Rosell effect, the twerking for Neymar and preparing his deal 2 years prior, signing Cesc while thinking he is Xavi vol2, getting Alexis thinking he is elite. Not bringing a proper...

    Xavi Hernández

    Henry also said that Pep took him out when Henry decided to move more centrally to stay closer to Eto & Messi to get the ball, despite him scoring. Pep allows individual genius, but he is also a control freak tbh.

    João Félix

    So, what is it mate? an agent favour that coach said ok, or he was brought to be starter? I mean you can't even be consistent with your argument.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Other than mentioning them in the whole Superleague saga, I don't think current board and PSG has any bad blood. Laporta seems very interested in Qatari investments too. I would take Ugarte on loan, he is solid defensively, although he us unplayable in Europe when teams press you.

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    He has renewed until 2027, with buyout at 500M.

    João Félix

    It was said from the start he was the management deal, Deco and Laporta are the ones who wanted him. Xavi approved as long as we get Cancelo first, who was his priority as he wanted a RB who can attack.
