    Virgil van Dijk

    VVD was out of the "GOAT CB" conversation the moment he got his big injury. He was a late bloomer and he never regained his elite form after it. Still made a great career for himself.

    According to reddit, they have already done that. The over the cap rule has been changed, and the amount you can spend is now 60% from what you have saved. An increase from the 40% it was last summer, and from the 25% it was during Covid.

    Vitor Roque

    This also depends on the role of a player in the team tbf. Ibra for example has played both the role of the star of the show, and the guy in the shadow of another super star (both at top level) and I would argue he was better than Eto as being the player to build a team around, but was never...

    Vitor Roque

    No, RL9 reached a point of being the best striker in the world and was the rightful earner of Ballon. Roque isn't that, and I said it when we signed him that we are setting ourselves for disappointment if this is our expectations. And a player of RL9 potential will cost twice as much Roque cost...

    Vitor Roque

    Aguero was far superior through out his career tbh, and generally was better player overall than Villa. And surely better dribbler than Villa. Aguero level is like the absolute best case scenario for Roque, but he won't be a similar profile.

    Vitor Roque

    There are highlights of Roque making similar plays with Paranense (or whatever there name is) to the one at 28 seconds. :ROFLMAO:

    Vitor Roque

    Villa joined us at the age of 29 and was a inside winger with Messi false 9. More or less of a SS than a real winger, which was Pedro's role at the time. Villa rarely beat his man to create chance, unless you pull his entire career highlight videos as evidence of that to compare with a 19 years...

    Vitor Roque

    Villa wasn't a "flashy" dribbler or beating his man, but more of a retaining the ball one, no? But yeah his touch was better and that is what I meant about Roque heavy touch. Although those can improve with time. I remember Drogba improving them even in his 30's with Chelsea, no idea how Villa...

    Vitor Roque

    Roque was never a physical specimen, Barca knew that when they bought him. Think of David Villa, he wasn't tall, he wasn't strong, he wasn't quick, he wasn't good dribbler or that superb technically. But Villa was an assassin, he knew when and where to be, he knew how to finish. In comparison...

    Yes. Players who are registered and went on loan can come back.

    Obviously, but you need to register players because you can't exceed a certain number of B players, otherwise you lose points. So someone from first team squad need to be sold to fund several players

    11 - Raphinha

    There are 7 players who will be officially unregistered next year: Alonso & Roberto as their contracts ends. Felix & Cancelo as they are here on loans. Then: Roque and Fermin both were registered as injury replacements. Inigo as he was registered for only one year of his contract. The last 3...

    If Mallorca wins it will be 30 minutes away from start of our game, squal already be released. It changes thing for 2nd hal subs only.

    11 - Raphinha

    Midfield is the area you push a player out, not attack or defense. There is a day and light difference between our attack with and without Raphinha, he is our best attacker right now with a good margin. More importantly he improves both Midfield and Attack, a midfield behind a stagnated attack...

    If Christensen starts, then no need to play Cubarsi, depends a lot of Christensen health. Something like Fort Christensen Faye Alonso will work. Roberto, Romeu , Fermin midfield Torres Roque , Felix in attack. Frenkie, Pedri, Kounde could play in 2nd @jamrock Inigo is suspended

    Saudi Pro League (#29 top league)

    It is over now, there was some sort of shake hands. The player is known to be a crazy one. Game was on UAE (super cup iirc) so the security part isn't on Saudis so this ease the PR for them.

    Sergi Roberto

    He is rarely fit, and even then he is a fringe player at best. Good squad player is pushing it?

    Xavi Hernández

    That is non sense, of coarse he wants the expensive players first and the finance department told him no. He is still the one pushing for every player we signed and wanted full power. Inability to get his expensive wishes isn't indicator of him not being in power. Big part of him leaving is...

    Xavi Hernández

    OTOH, if he wins CL then it is perfect time to leave now. You leave as CL winner, you are immediately favourite for any open managerial job, with power to make changes you want. Never mind he will leave a great legacy here. He could risk a lot if he stays. Essentially, only CL final loss will...
