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

    Zhavi has only one client in Barca and that is Lewandowski, doubt there was any other one for over a decade (he helped Neymar to go to PSG though). Lewandowski himself was working well for Bayern. Doubt it is a done deal tbh, especially if Laporta keep his word and let Deco choose the coach.

    Champions League 23/24

    It is already said in January that this is the only reason he isn't sacked. He lost the plot there, at some point they will have to do it. Those were before Leverkusen defeat, now Bild is running with Flick is welcoming Bayern but is flattered with Barca interest. tbh, Bayern is better offer...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Gotta love the "riddle" based journalism. With that being said, it feels like we are going after another Darvish type of deal

    Champions League 23/24

    If they lose today, I won't be surprised if Flick was the one coaching the 2nd leg.

    Julián Araujo

    He has lost his starting place to Alex Suarz and will be interesting to see if he can get it back. I don't think he is good enough to be solid back up but he is better than putting kids here and we can't afford to sign new players. So it kind of make sense to get him back tbh

    Frenkie de Jong

    G. Romero said that the news came from his camp, and tbh it makes sense. The first one to report it was a guy close to his agent, then Relevo who aren't by any mean close to the board and fairly legit. They aren't the board mouth piece. News for past 4 months was about Araujo and there was...

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

    Maybe I understood it, but my first reaction was that De Zerbi is asking for a certain financial demands regarding the squad not his salary. Could be put in different context, could even the financial requirements to get him, i.e Brighton demands. Maybe someone who read the original news in...

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

    We still have the 2nd best squad in Spain and are closer to the first than to the 3rd, we also have at least a top 10 squad in Europe. And we have finished outside top 2 only once in past 15 years and it was with a damn awful coach and a far worse squad. People who thinks we are that bad are...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Old version maybe, but Salah was a speedster early on, one of the fastest attackers of his generation.

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

    tbf, every club in the world will have a certain degree of preference to ex players. Real Madrid didn't go and sign Nedved or Totti as Ancelotti assistant and then put him to B team, they did for ex player like Zidane. Same about Raul & Solari etc whom Real tested with youth teams. Simeone was...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Barca has a good scouting network tbf to them, you don't sign players from Croatian and Argentinian 2nd divisions without massive network of scouts. It is always a question of how good our decision makers.

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

    A marketing plot that was used in early 2010's to describe Barca distinctively from other clubs during our greatest era. It became associated with Crujifista who are in reality Pepista's who weren't born when Crujif was hired. There is simply no real definition for it. In reality Barca has...

    Pep, Klopp, Rijkaard, Ancelotti were all claimed to have assistant who are the real brain.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Some media is saying that Flick wants Eric Martel as our new Defensive Midfielder. https://fbref.com/en/players/92a16062/Eric-Martel He is a text book destroyer, which I honestly would welcome but won't make sense if we sell Frenkie

    Joan Laporta

    True, however it seems there is a lit of back clash on his words.

    Vitor Roque

    Brazil out of Olympics. He will have a chance to have a full preseason with new manager here.

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    First challenge without same U20 generation, he is undefeated and raises to the occasion while beating Brazil in last game. Maybe there is a good coach somewhere in there. Won't mind him replacing Marquez as Barca B coach.

    Xavi Hernández

    Currently Barca DNA are mostly a way to say how the club favours in house choices rather than hiring from outside. Xavi would love that to continue, otherwise the likes of Busquets, Marquez etc won't get a big job anytime soon.

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

    It is the usual non sense of assistant that is the real brain behind success that people loves. People never learn with that tbh
