    Vitor Roque

    Historically, Barca loaning a player is a death sentence for the player career at top level. Roque feels he is a victim of an internal war or massive miscommunication. He has done what the club asked from him even before we have even presented an offer to his club. At the end, if he is...

    24 - Eric García

    Well, why would we bring Aleix with current midfield? He isn't CDM, he isn't an AM (a guy who can score/assist) and we have Gavi/Pedri/Frenkie/Gundogan for the two interiors we play. I would welcome such deals if we are selling Frenkie or Pedri and bringing A.Garcia as replacement.

    Joan Laporta

    Folks, good executives have been hired under Laporta, some left and some replaced them. But they cost money, and requires money. Barca doesn't have this tbh, there is no reason for a guy like Txiki to come back so he will have the opportunity to convince free agents to come here, when he can...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    btw, there are rumours that his renewals will be costly at the end of it. It will reach 12M per season in his last year of new contract, when he will be 21/22

    Vitor Roque

    Chelsea made him an offer, Arsenal were interested but was shut down early by his agents. iirc Manu, PSG was in the "we are following you"

    Xavi Hernández

    Only when he was appointed mid-season in QSI first season as owners while having their worst squad in that new era. It wasn't any sort of a surprise really or something to hold it against him. His poor league form only happened in Milan really. Other than that he wasn't really bad except his...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    This is actually a rare occasion that I agree with you. We are pushing young players too soon, overrating them while adding both physical and mental strain on them, asking them to take a leap of development and then we will wonder why they aren't developing. Cubarsi is a great passer, but he...

    Vitor Roque

    No, it isn't. He has done everything the club asked him before, and the manager problem is his positioning (his words not mine) while everyone knew you are coming from a counter attacking team. So loaning him makes zero sense for him, he won't learn Barca way outside of it. This is simply a...

    Again, you are talking from coach perspective which isn't what I discussed. No need to repeat it.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Yes, Poque spoke about 3 seasons in the past to show where we stands now, that is different from suggesting 3 years rebuild. He said this: His point is, if we made such deals, would we get a much worse outcome in the short term than we had past 3 years? And then, there is the problem that...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    You know that this is exactly what we are talking about, right? No one is talking about multiple season thing, it is replacing 3 or 4 players with cheaper one to sort our finance and be able to make big signing by 2026 at max.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Letting Messi and Griezmann go while replacing them with Luuk and Depay was a MASSIVE GIGANTIC STEP BACK, not a small adjustment. Not when the rest of team where in shambles. Valancia, Arsenal & Milan decided to quit and they had no plan to rebound, had no FFP they were trying to solve. They...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    There is a different report everyday. A lot of what you said is true. But as I said, if we fail to be under the cap until 2026, the lost money hunts you later. So if we are over our supposed spending with 100M this season (it might be even more) then it has to be counted for as expenses next...

    Vitor Roque

    You are talking from coach perspective, then yeah is true. But this isn't the discussion despite you having a kind of obsession to make it always about that :xavi: From a player perspective, not giving an 18-19 years old player a chance to adapt in real games after bringing him midway in the...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    This is just a generic statement that doesn't mean anything in reality. You can name any strategy and we can point that it doesn't work like that. Nothing work in Sports (or real life) unless executed properly. That is the key. Laporta himself took a step back with the team in 2021 when he...

    Vitor Roque

    I can't blame him, he fought to come here and he isn't given a fair chance. If Xavi problem with him is positioning, then he should stay. He is elite in moving without the ball, but that was in a counter attacking team. He won't learn how to move in a team that has the ball 60% of the time if...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think what @Porque is trying to say (and correct me if I am wrong), would it change the expected outcome if we took a step back now to sort the financial issues? Taking a step back in order to move two step forwards. People need to remember that Liga rules regarding FFP is progressive one...

    João Cancelo

    I mean this is the same type of reports about Barca wanting X amount of money for Fati/Lenglet/Dest etc that we have seen consistently tbh. If there was a club willing to buy Cancelo it would have happened already, City are stuck with him while they desperately want him out with a bad blood...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    There is also plenty of great attacking Brazilian, you just need to pick the right one. Estevao looked amazing in youth buy is having slow start as a professional in compariso to his teammates Endrick & Guilherme, still he just became 17 a week ago and is slowly intergrated to the team. He is...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Lewa for Auba is the biggest question mark and what if in such scenario IMO. Raphinha and Kounde has helped us a lot and was reliable starter who were fairly consistent and reliable. Not elite though but reliable big club starter. Now, Lewa has helped us a lot and you can make an assumption...
