    Ronald Koeman

    Zidane was assistant to Ancelotti for couple of years before it. Being better team is also not the issue, it is different thing when you are coaching reserve team than coaching in Asia. Xavi has a lot to learn tbh, and he needs one more step before Barca, otherwise he will be setting himself...

    Luis Suárez

    We have proverb in Egypt saying : Football is goals. Obviously very simplistic and not entirely accurate, but it still means something At the end of the day, no matter what is the tactics, what is the advanced statistics, you need someone who scores or help you score more. When you just force a...

    Victor Font

    This. Laporta campaign is basically avoiding stupid mistakes, rather than project. And I understand people not liking it.But he is doing what he needs to win. But Font campaign is as bad as it gets, when you are underdog, you need to have something special with your campaign. It is up to him...

    24 - Eric García

    He has the potential, but I don't rate him more than a back up CB atm.

    24 - Eric García

    It is about staying mediocre. If we just sign a CB of low quality just because he is free, we are leaving our biggest weakness while trying to save money for another area.

    Victor Font

    And this is based on what? Laporta candidate lost in 2010 badly and his enemy got his historical win, in 2015 he himself got a historical loss. So suddenly, same socios who didn't care decided it is time for nostalgia and no one is able to compete with him? This sound like a lame excuse to me...

    Luis Suárez

    If we make it to top 4 then it is ok he left. We weren't winning Liga with him anyway it would have been difference between 4th and 2nd place? Nah, that is ok. But if we lose top 4 place, then it is regrettable move, because it is will be huge loss that set us back.

    Victor Font

    I was talking about participation in campaign. Yeah, Xavi most likely prefers and wants Font to win, but that is different than campaigning for him.

    Victor Font

    Don't you think that this is more of accurate description of Font's clan? I mean the moment you start blaming voters for not liking your guys, refusing to acknowledge his short comings, I think you are the one refusing to be open minded

    Victor Font

    Well, those are relatively big names tbh. Not sure if they will help him but stranger things happened. One more question, Did Jordi Cruyff support him? Xavi didn't do it and was neutral about it.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    There is a lot of over analysis here to remove blame from Araujo. He is the one ,solely, to blame. If this was a player that isn't under 25 no one would have get him an excuse. He is young and made a mistake, hopefully he will learn and we have to move on.

    FC Barcelona Handbol

    Didn't deny it, although I would say it is Northern Africa that has most popularity outside Europe. Also, I don't think it is popular in Italy either.

    Sergiño Dest

    One final thought about Dest passing, he plays with his head up. This is one of the most underrated qualities of players in general. Semedo for example is the polar opposite of it and he looks more to the ball than scanning the pitch, and it is one of the reasons why he is clueless in both ends...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    This. Vidal said the right thing at that time. No one is going to say we are hopeless guys, Bayern are far ahead of us. At the end of the day, whatever you say will be held against you in such defeats, hell even if it was not saying anything at all.

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    I said this is what people think. tbh, I think it was more of appreciation to Rijkaard, who was his 1st team coach, believed in him from very young age, and generally was really popular among his players. The point is, players say different things at different times. Messi once picked Rijkaard...

    FC Barcelona Handbol

    Handball seems to be either really popular in some countries, or non-existent in others. I think this is why the difference n perception for people here. I don't know if it is a top 3 in Europe, but I think in many countries/regions it is.

    Mavericky Puig

    Good manager has to be put in context. Las Palmas had interesting and entertaining team that failed to cope with Liga pressure until they brought in Setien. And he made necessary adjustments for them to succeed. Had mixed , but mostly positive, effect in Betis, but it was clear that this is...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    He actually said it during his time with EV or Lucho. Many thought it was a dig against Pep at that time.

    8 - Pedri

    Alexis is the kind of player that shines only in mediocre teams tbh. Teas that want top 4 finish but not title. Not good enough to carry a good team, and not adapted enough to be in a team not built on him as one of its stars. His only solid season here was lost one, thankfully it got us a...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Half of Barca rebuild process in 2003 was with players aged 27-28 and it was our most successful rebuild. We need some infusion of youth for sure, but we can't try BVB approach, it will be a disaster.
