    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Alonso salary is low and Grimaldo was offered biggest salary in Leverkusen and a starting place in exciting project that will play to his strength, it never made sense for either party. I was thinking about him the other day, he is doing very well with PSV and he is their starting LB there...

    Copa del Rey 23/24

    With 8 more titles, I won't mind them getting one. We have enough leeway to not worry about it.

    Copa del Rey 23/24

    It was their trophy, they had 23 titles while we had 20 and RM 15 when they won it in 1984. Barca added 11 titles since then, surpassing them, while RM added 5 closing the gap. They lost final in 1985, then had long dry period. But this final is their 6th in 16 years. Will be huge...

    Finally, it made too sense to not happen.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    More interested in Atlanta game this week. They face their main rival for European spot away from home. Atlanta has better squad but difference isn't gigantic the same way with Inter. Will be easier to get a grip on his ideas and managers.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    They are 4th While this sound good theoretically, I don't think it is realistic tbh. Can we make a deal with Klopp already for 2025? Or we are just taking a risk for a long shot? If he isn't interested in Barca job, then we are just wasting time.

    Copa del Rey 23/24

    We have also seen it more that changing coaches ends worse when issues is actuallythe squad. This Atletico side has a board with no ambition but CL qualifications on regular basis and they are putting a squad that is just good enough for that, and it is only because other Liga clubs who should...

    Copa del Rey 23/24

    Atletico has awful squad, even if they have another great coach they won't do much better. Their cycle are over and they have just few above average players that helps them to get CL spot.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    From what I've read on reddit, this is Nike's issue and one of the problems the club probably sees with Nike.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    J. Araujo can be back up RB, I don't think he is good enough but he is 23 who is good enough as a starter for midtable Liga club. That is better than what we have for a back up RB (S.Roberto & Fort) who isn't a CB (Araujo & Kounde). Regarding playing time and development, he will be 23 next...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Young players don't just develop with years, they develop by learning drom other experienced players beside them. This Arsene Wenger type of ambition is unrealistic at all tbh. Gradual integration of youth is essential, our club is actually putting way more faith than we should in young...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    From the videos he looks like the typical AM/Winger we are obsessed with, Noah Darvish type of player. Doubt we will go for him if any of the wealthier clubs enter the race, unless he refuses to renew and ask for Barca specifically which is always a long shot. Demichelis seems to rate him...

    Sergi Roberto

    Yes, it is a thing but not in the European conventional way. International isn't about nationality, but entering the league without draft or being homegrown. Miami had to trade for extra slots because they are having too many. Don't know about the exact rules, I follow the NBA so I know some...

    Sergi Roberto

    Don't think Miami has international slot anymore.

    And people in Saudia Arabia went to the street celebrating the news.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    A lot of hype surrounding him after he broke Saviola record as the youngest ever scorer for them. I will take news linking us to highly rated prospects with a grain of salt. Our finance being a mess will make it difficult. We will have an interest in many of those, but will be rare sight...

    Lucas Bergvall

    He wanted to be in 1st team and both him and his club were offered more money. It isn't just a question of how much, but HOW, as the club already struggles with registration of it's own players. We will have Roque to register, Cancelo to but and maybe Felix on another loan, then DM and maybe...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    From my understanding, the salary cap is usually the money we earn after you substract non squad costs. It also accounts for money we lose or gain from previous years. Barca is still paying big deferred wages, we operate at low loss in non-football sections, we made few losses last years due...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    Which is still true tbh. Don't have any trust t him atm and don't think putting him in 1st team now will serve him well. Very few who were rushed into first team were success.
