    Rafael Márquez

    Don't think so. Marquez is close to Laporta, and supported him during the elections and the later rewarded him with B team coaching job, which he is doing wellin. But after Xavi, with the pressure from media looming I doubt Laporta will go for it tbh, even if Deco is close to him. I think a...

    Who could replace Xavi?

    Alonso isn't a realistic target, but if hecwas then he is my choice. If Lucho is fired in June, I will take him in a heartbeat. As there is "if" in those previous options, then Michel or Imanol.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    2 more years left in his contract, selling in 2024 is the last chance to get massive offer for him if he doesn't renew. Last time his agent caused trouble during renewal process. And tbh, the club might have to sell in order to reinforce. It is already suggest in the media that a massive...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    FIFA pro always had weird things with the selections. it is like some players vote based on their favourite FIFA team

    Joan Laporta

    It was wrong decision, but it is also a common mistake in the sport tbh. Coaches wants safety during their work, extension is the way they feel secured in the job long term. Same shit happened when we renewed EV inearly 2019 or so. Was another mistake back then.

    Joan Laporta

    I said it before the election that Laporta is as good as his sidekick. He allows his guys to do their thing and weighs in when there is differences. He didn't want Pep for example but appointed and supported him based on Crujif and Txiki advice. He didn't want Xavi, but took Alemany advice and...

    Xavi Hernández

    You need few things to play highline like that: -A sweeper GK. -High pressing team, which is actually the reason managers want to play highline in the first place. -Fast CB. Barca hasn't been a good pressing team since the treble season in 2015, Pena is a GK who is glued to the 6 yard box...

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Time to accept the reality that his main position is a defensive RB. He is mediocre CB at best.

    Spanish Supercopa Final: Real Madrid - Barca 4-1

    Peña will 25 in a month or so, before this season he had only 8 professional games with 1st team football with Galatasray, due to their starting GK being injured, along some meaningless games with us last year. He is simply not good enough, not talented enough, lacks physical profile (height...

    Zidane vs Ronaldinho

    Peak R10 is better, but durability matters and Ronaldinho fails miserably at that. His prime ended at 27 and career in Europe was over before the age of 30.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    The list is just underwhelming tbh, Nico Williams and Morata were the real prizes and both renewed. Ndidi or Guedo could be upgrade over Romeu as back up DM. Most interested in getting a new back up GK, seems like there is good upgrades over Peña...

    The Negreira case

    Yeah, star of the show syndrome. Tebas is like that too, Laporta loves spotlights, Pique etc.

    Juliano Belletti

    Not a bad CV for assistant coach for Barca B

    FC Barcelona Finances

    La liga will keep Socios more satisfied, and that is what matters. Club doesn't need to pay all debts if they sell something, no one does that anyway.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    The club will bet on increased revenue from new stadium along a less restricted rules that will happen once Tebas is off in 2024 along effect of Covid financial hit on books being decreased as time goes by. Then they will consider selling part of the club and very unlikely to reach 30% even. We...

    Vitor Roque

    Context mate. It is about great players missing such chance at young age being normal, finishing is usually a skill that develop with time, although clearly not for everyone. Mbappe was a beast, true. Still missed sitters, also true. Benzema missed sitters till he was 30, Messi wasn't great...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    tbf, we had almost all our defense, along Messi and other midfielders out during this tie. We weren't going to win anyway as it was Bayern's year, but I think with a full squad it would have been something like 2 or 3 goal total difference. Having a sick coach didn't help either.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    They can, but with limited number of games, if they reach it the player gets promoted automatically. I think the number is 5 games, but not 100% sure.
