    Champions League 2024-25

    If they get Gyökeres, which it seems they will, he is out of excuses tbh. But I am not sure Arsenal ownership cares that much, their owners are comfortable with being pretenders from the look of it.

    It will be up to him, if he wants to stay there he should accept the lower salary. It is his last chance of staying in relevant club.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Torrents had ACL then came back, then got a major hamstring injury. He has played less than 600 minutes in 3rd division, all at the age of 18. I hope he reaches his potential and be great, we need it. But I would prefer to keep him with B team another year and see how his body survive. It is...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Valle didn't do well in Scottish league, and was shown the door by Flick. He is a better player than Martin, but it is about fit. Valle is more suited to slower pace & gradual build up of the play, rather than the run and gun German style. I think we should just be happy with the 6M and move...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Rayo isn't getting 25M for Ratiu, they surely would love to have it, but it isn't going to happen. Their record sale is 10M, it will be something if a 27 years old RB breaks it, never mind doubling it. There is the Almeria kid too, who is also very good (and massive for a RB). We will find...

    It was you tbh, I was just the first to join the hype train. :shark:

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    We actually started the game more conservative than our usual play. The first goal was a fuck up from Olmo and cenerbacks who weren't prepared, then we had to push upfront.

    Different players position themselves right. Even if the goal was avoided, it is the same results. Out CB rotation is below the ambitions of the club. This is the discussion from the start. Not which goals could have been avoided.

    Again, not the discussion and irrelevant.

    A new GK would be nice

    3 consecutive years of European defensive humiliation isn't on the system that has changed. Trying to make the discussion about the last minute goal to say we don't need CB is deflection of the arguments. Facts are there, under different coaches

    I left it out of courtesy, because makes it worse. We were 10 men because Cubarsi wanted nothing with the ball when he saw Mbappe pressing him, and Araujo can't pass, then tried to fix a mistake with another mistake. It was a personal problem, exactly as you said, not a system one. Which...

    We concedes 5 goals in 180 minutes last year, we coneded 6 against a superior Inter this year. In all 4 games, our Centerbacks played their worst games of the season in it. And it wasn't just the games we went out, there are many others they underperformed in both seasons. Never mind the...

    Our CB are the new Ter Stegen, they underperformed consistently in CL regardless the coach and the system

    Ferran is the most probable Lewandowski replacement. It is underwhelming for a club that historically had great strikers like ours, but you could do far worse. Very few big clubs plays with true CF, never mind world class one.

    The same personal underperformed in high stake games in the last 2 years under a system designed favourably for them. It is absolutely the personal.

    6th attacker is going to be filled with a prospect, which is fine tbh. Lamine Lewa Raphinha & Ferran are solid 4 man rotation, you get good winger as 5th option, and give 6th spot to whoever prove himself from La Masia, and we are good. There is no indication of Lewa leaving, and I am not...

    I mean sure, you can beat them to signings with lower financial package, but no one will join you for significant lower package, with rare exceptions. Having competition will raise the price, though. It also gives a player options to think about his role. Look at Jorrel Hato for example, he...

    If we want to fight for CL, getting a kid won't help our chances that much.
