    Memphis Depay

    He is a first attacker of the bench level of player who is forced to be the star of this pathetic attack (except when Fati is healthy, and even then Fati is more about efficiency) I don't mind having him, as long we continue to add better names to our attack

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    And decent winger that isn't in his 30's or a teen playing in farmer league will cost a fortune anyway. Sterling will be free in 2023, City has many alternative and both he and City likely would prefer him moving abroad rather than joining a rival. I don't see how he will be more expensive than...

    Nico Gonzalez

    Not tired, it is a muscle strain actually. https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/first-team/news/2342244/eric-garcia-and-nico-gonzalez-have-muscle-strains

    Neto

    Pena is mediocre IMO, 22 years old short GK with no experience in anything better than 3rd division who is mistake prone.

    Joan Laporta

    We are banking on Griezmann and Trincao deals, along a sale or two during the summer (MATS most likely, maybe Coutinho will go finally?) and then some contracts are over in 2023 that will further help the salary situation of the club.

    Xavi Hernández

    The thing is, Xavi said it in an unwarranted way before. He was asked about FDJ best position, and he said it should not be DM because that is where Busquets play and Barca should build midfield around him. That was an interview, but it was very strong words, can't blame anyone if he thinks Xavi...

    Xavi Hernández

    Well, if FDJ himself gets injured every 6 or 7 games, what work do you think a coach can do to his performances? :lol:

    Injuries? Lets Talk About That!

    Not fixing the medical staff is what I blame Laporta the most tbh. Whatever the reason of this mess, it should have been addressed aggressively and not in November

    Xavi Hernández

    A lot depends on the health of the squad and how clinical they are. Those are two things that cost us dearly this year, no coach can fix anything if we don't have a healthy squad that don't know how to finish

    Nico Gonzalez

    Unlike to what Busi made us to believe, I don't think heavier midfielder should be played as DM. I would argue it should be the opposite. The likes of Kante, Casamero, Gattuso, Davids were all very relentless runners. If anything, I would say being heavy will be the reason he will never be DM...

    Sergi Barjuan

    tbh, can permanent manager do anything if he has to do 3 subs due to injuries? specially when those subs are due to the best players in each line and in a team already suffering from injuries? Don't get me wrong, but we how many players were injured or picked injury during the season? I don't...

    Xavi Hernández

    Serie A strikers don't do that well outside of it tbh, Immobile was top scorers 3 times, Icardi didn't look that special with PSg, Luca Toni was banging goals till late 30's. Teams has been relying on wingers, or wingers converted into second strikers, to score goals more than their no 9 for...

    Nico Gonzalez

    Well, I barely seen any improvement on our defenders and they had a guy who is one of the all time greatest CB too

    Ernesto Valverde

    And who did we bring to replace Rakitic? Denis, Gomes, Paulinho, Arthur, Vidal & Frenkie were our midfield signings between 2016 and 2020 when he left. Only one who was actually better was FDJ and he replaced Rakitic into starting line up.

    Ernesto Valverde

    What is a yes man? Should EV resign and pay his own release clause to be a courage coach and not a yes man? Sacrifice his own career for the holiness of Barca? Again, we lost with 0-3 & 0-4 one season prior, we had a board that refused to embrace rebuild, we have a team that lost its 2nd best...
