    Gianluigi Donnarumma

    Onana isn't really an upgrade over MATS tbh, Donnarumma was and had age (and potential) on his side

    KD was a killer when he had Curry. Was never a known killer in OKC

    As I said , when people say greatest offensive player= greatest scorer. Doesn't make sense to me either, but don't shoot the messenger And they have done it with CP3 , and failed with him injured. Luka needs PG, like he always did before the NBA(Llull, Dragic)

    For whatever reason, the term offense is used to describe pure scoring ability, at least when describe a player So you are both right

    That is a recipe for a disaster IMO. Harden ball should be avouded at all costs. And Harden played his best with CP3.

    Gini Wijnaldum

    I think his point is that renewing him is an indication they will continue to spend

    KP was great last year, but injuries took a lot from him. Luka turning into Lebron/Harden hero ball didn't help either, we basically used him as KLove with the Cavs. The team needs a Kyrie/CP3 to get the best out of Luka. Problem is, the Luka and KP trades took away the assets

    Xavi Hernández

    Nah, we had interest in Nagelsmann over Xavi and he is far from A-list. He was a coach ready for the next step. Laporta isn't really attached to Barca past history with coaches either. When he came here he negotiated with 3 coach: Hiddink then Koeman and then Rijkaard. Koeman was like Ten Hag...

    Xavi Hernández

    A lot could change between now and then tbh. Koeman might have a great success next season and earn another few years. A top candidate might emerge, I mean I doubt if a guy like Klopp decide his time is over with Liverpool (like he did with his previous 2 clubs) that we won't go for him before...

    Injuries can stop the Nets, and could very well do it this series. If Harden was healthy, they beat the Bucks easily, but with his injury I can see Milwaukee making a comeback

    Clément Lenglet

    This was the only season that Lenglet looked like shit tbf, before that season he was very solid Liga CB for 3 consecutive seasons. But back to the main point, his salary isn't something that will makes him stay as he would easily get something close to it if he leaves. This is regardless of...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Ok, he didn't sign a pre-contract. Question is how do we know it wasn't his agent who put delay in the deal? Why the assumption it is on the club? when few days ago his agent was also negotiating with Bayern? And even then it was said we weren't the best offer for him anyway. Maybe it was his...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    They absolutely can since he hasn't signed his contract, which is usually done after medicals or during announcement.

    Gini Wijnaldum

    How did we fuck around ? We agreed deal pending medicals that wasn't granted by NT, Koeman future became certain and suddenly Gini comes with an offer to double salary, how is that on the club? We never agreed terms with Depay either, our offer has been unfair to him from start and he has been...

    Clément Lenglet

    Lenglet signed as 3rd CB in Sevilla and then was one of the first players to take a pay cut to help the club. A coach favourite too, in NT and Sevilla before Barca. Doubt it is about the money, while I think we need upgrade he is simply a genuinely good lad and our only healthy CB. He needs to...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Aguero and Garcia accepted our own terms, Gini and Depay didn't. Club has been dealing with those FA as "our way or the highway " and considering our finances; can you blame them?

    How to approach the rebuild

    Yes, because Koeman at that time tried to fit Coutinho, Messi, Griezmann in 4231 , and all plays better centrally so it didn't make sense to put Fati as 9. In your formation, both Messi and Depay will benefit from a 9 in front of them, both are SS , Depay was once a LW and is right footed, so...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Yeah, from highlights he always seemed like someone who will add necessary physicality to the team, both in strength and effort

    How to approach the rebuild

    Since he started playing football. He has played only 1 year as inside winger before moving to 1st team. And was considered no9 for B team that year. EV preferred to get him as LW because it is easier for young player to adapt on that rather than playing against strong CB. He is very close to a...

    How to approach the rebuild

    In such formation and names, it will be better to get Fati to his original position as 9, and put Depay as LCAM. it will be more of 3421 with Messi and Depay playing behind Fati, put everyone in his natural position.
