    Philippe Coutinho

    Coutinho isn't a starter here under almost any formation. The trio of Pedri/FDJ/Busquets has their places cemented deservingly under any formation, whether it is 433, 4231, 352 or 343. After that you have Fati and Depay unquestionably ahead of him in attack as either CF/LW/SS That leaves a...

    Eduardo Camavinga

    Does he play as DM? My understanding he is more of CM/b2b. In such case, he really doesn't work with those 2

    Samuel Umtiti

    Those clubs already made offers for loan with us, so we already have the proof.

    Samuel Umtiti

    But he can't, because with other offers we already established he has a value and clubs are offering him X amount of money. That is why we waited. For example if a club offered him 5M of his salary (now, while he is under contract with us), he can't get paid 1 euro and then ask us for 5M, in...

    Samuel Umtiti

    Because: A-he will need to show he couldn't be paid elsewhere. He can't get any extra money from other team. So, hypothetically, if he gets 10M atm, and Lyon pays him 3M, the club only owe him 7M. If he wants to collect his whole check he needs to stay free agent. B-The club actually waited...

    Miralem Pjanic

    Allegri actually insisted on both, his transfer was never related to Locatelli. But Juve needs to move Ramsey before they get him

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, it is obvious if we our home grown step up and solve our issues we will go for the star players since most of our weaknesses are covered :lol: The names I mentioned are also hypothetical btw, could be other names. But I honestly keep wondering about this tbh, what is the best approach for...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I agree with all the points you make, but I wonder if we have a normal budget next year somehow, what strategy should we do? Do we go all in and add one star player like Haland if we can somehow manage to get him? I understand it sounds like a pipedream now but let's assume it is feasible. Or...

    Joan Laporta

    I don't think this is correct. We were over the salary limit regardless of any of our moves, while we were always going to either renew Messi before June or use the 25% exception to re-sign him. With the later, the loss of Pjanic and Coutinho is in 20-21 year, which is on past board. Now you...

    Cr150

    I think the sexual assault case is dropped

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

    If it is a double loan, I won't mind it tbh

    Joan Laporta

    Fans are the ones who makes player's legacy, and the ones who pays all the money one way or another. I can't blame Alba, but I can't blame fans for their reaction, it is very understandable

    Joan Laporta

    He doesn't own the club a thing for sure. But at the end, those players have a legacy here, that goes beyond "I earn money to play football" based on the contribution to the growth of the club. It goes to future jobs with the club and commercial success outside it too. In addition to...

    Neto

    Normally that is the right thing to do. But 2 things makes this, unfortunately, unrealistic: -MATS injury, the club won't make Tenas the back up GK early in the season. -Koeman being fixated in calling 3 GKs every game, this will mean Tenas will be 3rd GK for 1st team and will be deprived from...

    Joan Laporta

    If you are looking for consistency between players and board then of coarse you are lost, and somewhat naive tbh. I think it is clear there is a PR situation atm, the club finally agreed pay cuts with the amigos and we won't attack them on the media, will allow them to act innocent. OTOH, I...

    Joan Laporta

    We contacted agent in May, but Jordi was going to the Euros. The tournament ended for Spain on the 6th of July at the night, we send an official letter on 8th of Jult

    Gerard Piqué

    It is a live version of The Players' Tribune or Reddick podcast. I am going to share players version rather than let the media dictate the narrative.

    Joan Laporta

    Well, based on reports before we did inform agents when players were at Euros, which disturbed any chance of early negotiations. If I am going to jump to conclusions, I think Messi departure made reality hit them hard. Those players has legacy here to an extent and they need to preserve it...

    Joan Laporta

    And Pique statement on twitch tells another story than Alba, he is admitting Laporta told them around April it was coming. Either Alba playing the innocent card, or his agent decided not to inform him about negotiations.
