    Joan Laporta

    That is wrong, though. How you play is a neural and physical abilities. You lose them you lose the ability to play. If your body isn't able to do what it is used to do, it literally means you forgot how to play. Fati simply doesn't have the same body he had 3 years ago. Not the same talent nor...

    Joan Laporta

    Fati was lethal, he was probably the best finisher at the age of 18 or under that we have ever seen. He always knew how to place the ball in the toughest position to the GK. The idea was he had a potential to be 30 goals per years for 15 years, which was fair assessment. He wasn't going to be...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Onana was great success, just not for us or Cameroon. There was another GK who failed miserably at club level, but was great for their NT.

    Pep Guardiola

    Brazil or Argentina are the two teams I thought about (Scaloni won't stay forever). People loves to rule Spain's out, but the maun played for almost a decade for that team. He loves his country for sure and I can see him coaching them.

    I think this is the most we are involved in Africa since Eto academy. Good move

    I didn't see that coming. I wonder if he is aiming for Spain or elsewhere

    Noah Darvich

    Klopp is interested in bringing him for one the RB clubs, could be a good deal for everyone involved

    Manchester City

    Well, Pep started in Spanish 4th division. If they get relegated it will be almost like a hiatus year for him. He will gain from it as a loyal coach if anything. I think Alonso is the top choice for anyone looking for a coach, it will be up to him to accept which job. Last year he was...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I mean if Flick doesn't survive this year, then yeah, sure he will get a chance. But it is clear that Flick doesn't rate him, he preferred Martin and when it didn't work we are back in the market for a LB.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think you need to start getting used to Barca without Argentinian more, my man. While things could change quickly, it doesn't feel it will happen soon. Maybe you confused him with Lodi? As for Reinaldo, well, he will be a backup LB so unlikely to be matched that much with Kounde. The...

    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Trent, Salah & VVD. I mean, if 3 of their best players (arguably the best) is out of contract while their board doesn't seem to feel any urgency about it, then there is something this board isn't doing right

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Speaking of which, one of the names mentioned by Polo is Reinaldo from Atletico. He is a bit underwhelming name, but far better than Martin at least.

    Manchester City

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5846804/2024/10/17/manchester-city-behind-the-scenes-pep-guardiola/ Peo will stay in City if they are severely punished, as a way to support them. OTOH, City has Alonso and Amorim as the top 2 choice to replace him.

    Bartou refused to sell Fati for 150M, and tried to convince Neymar to stay.

    Tuchel tried to do it, unsuccessfully though :geek:

    I can't wait until I see Zubimendi on a big club tbh. He is a tough player to judge, and will be good to know his true level.

    Casado and Bernal are more defensive CDM role tbf. On paper, Kimmich plays that position and he himself says it us his position, but the truth he is a CM rather than a defensive CDM.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Signing Davies sill mean relegating Balde to bench role, no way around it. That isn't a bad thing, but cost wise it isn't the best way to spend our resources.

    Kimmich never made sense the moment Pedri was dropped deep and Olmo was bought. He is ideal for Pedri current position, but now we have Pedri, Frenki and Gavi who are all perfect for that position

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    It has nothing to do with Bartomeu. We got promoted under Laporta, and it isn't just us, it is almost every club that has done it. Bilbao, Villarreal, Madrid, Sociedad etc. There is nothing to support this idea of Segunda being better development, except the opinion and theoretical believe...
