    Joan Laporta

    Not essentially, as long as both have clear roles. Alemany wasn't SD, I have said that many times, he is a lawyer with masters in finance and spent his entire career exclusively as an executive. He isn't the football guy who scout players and decide fits, but he is the one handling agents and...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Could easily be the case,not every player is suited to defend equally good at same situation. Although, I don't like the idea of Kimmich either, not for the rumoured salary. Anything more than 15M gross is way too much.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    None of those names are Deco signings. Alemany was the one doing business for first team last summer and before that. Deco was allowed to do some B team signings (Darvich, Faye, attempts to get Arda) nd he was influential in Roque deal as he was our lead scout in SA. We have no idea yet how...

    Barca squad/XI 2024/25

    Is Stiller a CDM or a deep lying playmaker? I watched him sporadically after you mentioned him and it felt like he is the later. He has a very good passing range but isn't very imposing tbh. He tries on defense but it isn't his best area. But as I said I barely watched him, so your opinion is...

    Ludovic Giuly vs Pedro

    Giuly was amazing, but Pedro was better tbh

    Nico Williams

    You aren't an "established starter" if you are playing thanks to injury and just beating bench player. Cubarsi is atm a limited CB who managed to beat Inigo in the starting line up (thanks to the Basque being beaten by Osmihan) and Faye who is a mistake prone CB in B team. He didn't beat any...

    Nico Williams

    Cubarsi isn't established starter, he started because we were forced to put Kounde as RB after Balde getting injured, and Christensen as DM due to lack of alternatives, both are superior CB, he did great for 17 years old, but despite a good patch when the team was great he was a mixed form...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Did we finish 2nd or 3rd in the group?

    We should never plan next season with Yamal being a starter, we need to learn from our mistakes ffs

    No idea how good ge is, but he is one of the most highly rated young GK in Germany.

    Basketball/NBA

    4 point total difference is far from cooking. Wolves are very good away from home. But yeah, best start for Mavs.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Gavi injury will set him back a bit, I won't have any hopes of him next year, as long as he will properly rehab and get in rhythm. I will take the NBA approach of 1 year rehab, 1 year to get in form. Frimpong is a bit of Flick type of FB indeed, but I just feel him and Balde together will expose...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    No, but his system is built on defenders taking risk and accepting that it will result in plenty of counter attacks. It can fit Araujo style.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Not his biggest fan, but he had the success in Bayern. Let's hope he will prove doubters wrong. He is 3rd German manager in our history according to Wiki: Hennes Weisweiler in 75/76 and he was a bust and faught with Crujif. The legendary Udo Lattek was last one in 81-83 and won European cip...

    It is almost confirmed that ex Bayern GK coach is arriving as assistant.

    Xavi Hernández

    One thing Laporta has never done was being transparent, he was always been consistent for that. Edit: And tbh, I get it. We are waiting for the lever money to be paid in June, with rumours that we will have another Libro situation, next year tickets are most likely for sale and we are in the...

    Joan Laporta

    The rumour is that Laporta told him in summer of 2021, that he doesn't want him but he will keep him if he doesn't find a replacement.

    It is Official Thank you mister.

    Chadi Riad

    I am not surprised tbh, Alemany has done more good than bad for us but he left us vulnerable tbh and was a bit overrated. Anyways, good luck to Chadi, and bring in the money.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    He is essentially hired as care taker, with a chance to prove his worth. Not a bad business from the board this one, assuming his salary isn't crazy.
