    Haaland or Complete Squad Overhaul?

    Why? Font actually wanted Xavi as head of all. Alemany actually fits the profile you want, he is a management guy, former CEO who is about efficiency, a guy like him will empower such departments even more than Xavi. A foitball SD is actually a guy who filters those data with more human...

    Premier League 2021/2022

    Calling Ragnick a SD turned into coach is kind off hilarious. Ge is a good coach who is very respected by his peers, but without great results to show for it. Reminds me a bit of Bielsa Arteta isn't proven good coach either, he could prove himself being one but not yet

    Erling Haaland

    Before starting, I think we are assuming presence of funds for transfers. My question regarding this, is who are the elite CB and DM who will cost 75M+? For me, I see 3 "as good as it gets" DM replacement of Busquets. First one is Brozovic, Caqueret & Tonali The Croatian is free agent, and...

    Haaland or Complete Squad Overhaul?

    I think you are kind out of touch with youth :p Haaland is a physical beast, which is one of the most appreciated skills now in football and social media era. With great agent that knows how exactly to market him, and then a big club to help him to achieve that. He will do fine in that regard...

    Haaland or Complete Squad Overhaul?

    Assuming health (which is always important in all big deals) I would say Halaand. We get someone who change the culture and brings hope and goals to the club, we already have good young players in midfield to support him early. Also, brings a poster boy which is really needed

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Why would it be? Pedri is an outlier, rare case. We can buy 50 players from Segunda in next 5 years and we might not find a new Pedri tbh. We scout Spain a lot and bring ton of talents to La Masia with mixed success rate. Brazil is the biggest talent pool in South America and probably second...

    -I don't agree with calling Alba nobody tbh, I don't like him but that is too much. -We do it by voting rather than seniority, but there is always a respect for seniority in mist dressing rooms. Alba had seniority over Roberto iirc, Pique too over Busquets (in both cases it wss marginal) and...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    MATS is expensive, more expensive than his worth. Sooner or later the board will try to get rid of him, even with Xavi and his amigo bromance. And tbf Stegen competition is Neto, tough to judge what Xavi will do with better GK. So it makes sense from club stand point. Regarding the GK view...

    Why did they had a sponsorship with him in first place?

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He left in 2018, had solid season in Eibar and then loaned to Getafe on 2019 where he was good then we sold him in 2020 befire Getafe sold him in 2021. Till 2020 we could have got him back. He was performing well with B team but Abidal had weird affection toward Miranda and basically tried to...

    Joan Laporta

    Alemany was CEO before, was offered to be CEO of RM multiple times. He is as qualified as it gets to be our CEO. Help me here, but other than Grau (who was less qualified than Alemany) I really don't remember many CEO of the club. What was their backgrounds? Reverter was always an outlier, he...

    Joan Laporta

    Alemany was originally a business guy, was CEO and president of Mallorca. Many actually speculated that this was going to be his position when he sided with Laporta in the election. If we replace him with strong SD, it is decent move. Would argue he has better CV than Grau when he took over...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Other than Kyrie being one of the most talented players we have ever seen, one of the most enjoyable to watch and actually being clutch, I actually sees the comparison. Both are idiots who thinks to o highly of themselves

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    If he wants to go to Liga then his best choice is likely Atletico especially if Carasco leaves. RM has Vini and Barca is doing rebuild

    AFC Ajax

    Pique is well educated, with surprisingly very high IQ (read it was above 160 actually), born to a wealthy family that owns business and already started his own successful one. With some Harvard courses in entertainment management that is generally only offered to celebrities' with serious...

    Joan Laporta

    I think what Jam points to is something like Unicef deal, it was used in ways to make us sell jersey rights. Initially it was for "charity" but the reason was to pave the way for selling the Jersey rights later. Maybe that is the point of selling the Barca studios, to make it 1st step to accept...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Read it is 62.5 fixed + add-ons depending on our sport achievements. Could be the reason of the conflicting numbers.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Will be interesting if Pique retire and Roberto doesn't renew. Stegen will surely get 3rd spot behind Busquets and Alba, but 1 slot will be available for real voting, and good chance it might goes to one of the younger players.
