    Xavi Hernández

    This is actually very true. Even Pep style wasn't identical Crujif style, it was more of a pure form with Pep's ideas and finger prints on it. Crujif loved the football played by coaches like Rijkaard and Hiddink and suggested them to Laporta, same with Koeman during his Ajax day, had full...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Barcelona has lost 0-4, 0-3 away from home before him with stronger squad, lost 8-2 in neutral ground with same squad, lost 0-3 & 1-4, 0-3 at home and another 0-3 away after he left with an inferior squad (though not that much inferior for last season) and that is without going back for 5 years...

    Ernesto Valverde

    He was offered Spurs job last summer and declined. Other than that, there are very few "decent size" clubs that had vacant jobs, Chelsea, PSG had better and more exciting candidates to replace their coaching while Inter and Bayern went for the domestic young coach

    Boubacar Kamara

    Lyon is still in financial crisis and are more or less on firesale iirc, short contract and lack of buyers along very low hype while being one of the team highest paid players.

    Nico Gonzalez

    Barca in 2006 had a starting line up in CL final that had only VV and Puyol from La Masia, in addition to Oleguer who was Barca B signing. Never mind people are really generous with describing a player being "La Masia" , Puyol, Busquets, Pedri joined on professional contracts at age of 17 and...

    Xavi Hernández

    AlSadd has termination clause we are refusing to pay, they owe us nothing and Xavi accepted that well paid contract on his own well. If we are unwilling to pay the clause, they have every right to act arrogantly

    Boubacar Kamara

    I watched 3 games for Lyon this season, against PSH, Nice & Monaco. Caqueret and Bruno Gumaris were the center of midfield with Aouar/Paqueta ahead of them. This leaves more leeway for Caqueret to attack at times, but Bruno is usually the one that is playing more advanced role and Max covering...

    Boubacar Kamara

    Adeyemi is one of the players I like, definitely need to watch them more. Maxence Caqueret is currently my top priority as Busquets replacement, talked about him already in his thread, he fits in so many ways, except he prefers to play on quicker pace on ball rather than holding the ball. I...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Honestly, results should never be the main concern of youth teams anyway. Those teams has what?18-20 players each couple of years, even if 1 of those makes the 1st team and another reach 1st team football in his early career, it is big success. Barca fans, and probably all academy obsesses...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    I think it is by year of birth, which puts the like of Nico, Fati and Pedri at same category. All born in 2002.

    Boubacar Kamara

    Didn't watch him tbh. Maybe a player to follow in my pursuit to find a Busquets replacement? :busquets:

    Tottenham Hotspur

    If Kane is going to give them the same effort he is giving atm, won't be surprised if Conte treat him like Icardi and force him out

    Joan Laporta

    Bein commentator (the Arabic/Qatari one) has talked about Xavi during last night game more than the game itself. What he said is basically there is a reasonable buyout, but Barca are broke and aren't ready to pay it. So it is either Xavi buy himself out, or Barca reach a friendly deal (friendly...

    Sergi Barjuan

    For interim coach, I like his work so far. Maybe he can rest Busquets a bit, but it is too much to ask :lol:

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He balanced the team, our right side was non-existent
