    Nico Gonzalez

    Barca simply failed to get impact player after a loan, and we have done it dozens of times. Rafinha and Denis Suarez were the best results, which isn't that encouraging although there is always "what could have been " factor with Rafinha after the brutal injury that ended his potential (although...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Think he has better chances of making a Liga team tbh

    Luuk De Jong

    Sub option? Maybe Back up option? No way Auba is far better player whenever Lewandowski is missing.

    Frenkie de Jong

    tbf he was pressed by the interviewer. Basically said we want him to stay etc,that our captain and new signings accepted new wage rules so we hope Frenkie do the same. So was asked what if Frenkie refuses to decrease salary or leave? Does he stay. Laporta said yes. I think while he is indeed...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Yes, it was one of his 2 dozens daily interviews in USA. Tough to look back (because as I mentioned Laporta made too many interviews) but if I stumbled on it I will send it

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Do you have a name of the current squad? Hard to follow tbh and commentators isn't helping

    Frenkie de Jong

    Laporta said many good things on that topic, and already said he wants him to stay, and if he refuses to decrease salary there is nothing that can be made and he will stay on his salary. If anything, club official stance was nothing but respectable

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Midfield looks mediocre tbh, Demir, Alba and potentially Torre should add some needed creativity. Riad has that reckless mentality, sort like Araujo. We play a lot of long balls from the back, but there is no Marquez to play it right Barbra seems solid, looks like typical La Masia striker...

    24 - Eric García

    It was said that Xavi tried it in training, and it seems like it went South that Xavi had to dismiss it and even tried to downplay it in press. Also, defenders in general need less positional and scanning awareness than of midfielder especially DM. Would say that a DM need a 360 awareness while...

    Romeo Lavia

    Do you have one in mind? Because honestly it seems inevitable that we will replace Busquets with a totally different profile of player, just like when we replaced Xavi with Rakitic

    Frenkie de Jong

    People seriously think it all came from the club? Give me a break, his entourage clearly leaked a lot of stuff. The athletic article seems like a ploy by his agent to press the club, not the opposite

    Sergio Busquets

    When was the last time a midfielder had his teammates "run for him" in a successful way in CL ? I would say Pirlo in 2015 was the last one, well probably the only one in recent memory too. And even then, he had a system with 4 midfielders including Marchisio, Vidal & Pogba. There is no such...

    Fabián Ruiz

    He is a bit overrated tbh. Was a huge talent back in the day but progress stalled in Italy. Still good, but don't see him being a special player

    Joan Laporta

    Laporta has only depreciated 4 contracts, thus inflating the losses. The issue is, those money was going to be on the books sooner or later. So we could have been generating losses for another 3 years with those contracts. And what I read was different, Reverter was the one who wanted it.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    The report after Ornestien article said Bartomeu have made those 4 players to take 18M paycut for one season while their contracts as a whole increased 311M (with around 8 added years to their contracts iirc) As for illegal, they said it has involved a criminal act. As those contracts...

    Nico Gonzalez

    Well, a week ago you were saying we should groom Busquets replacement from inside and Nico was the only candidate. :lol: I think most like the deal, but Valancia being a mess is a concern
