    Hans-Dieter Flick

    He has improved in the air, but it us a team effort. This isn't a complaint about Cubarsi but about the entire defense lacking the towering presence and aerial threat.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    How about all of those? Teams has figured ways to slow us down, something that Liga has experience doing since the Messi & CR7 era. Weren't liga consistently the slowest league in top 5 leagues and one with least actual minutes played? Fatigue is real due to lack of depth. We have no bench...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Mingueza is a no brainer tbh, unless there is some hidden gem that our scouts know about he fits our needs and budget

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Lost the ball 11 times yesterday, succeeded in 1 out if 5 dribbles. He killed our left side yesterday.

    La Liga Round 17: Betis - Barca 2-2

    Torres is a bust, but he is still the best backup attacker we have. Sad story

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    He destroyed almost every attack he got.

    Iñigo Martínez

    Gradually, he is going back to his last season form. Maybe it is fatigue or something, but he is caught out of position several times every game.

    Vitor Roque

    Decent game today, though it isn't like he faced a good defence

    DLF has been cooling on Barca players tbf, he will use them in decisive games for sure, but let's be honest it isn't that much of a big deal in comparison to SA travel. It depends on how Brazil do tnf, every game before September is against a team that is currently ahead of them in the table...

    Only Raphinha and Araujo (atm) are playing outside of Europe. FIFA virus affects all clubs, and when it isn't a National league, we have the advantage of smaller travels for most of our players.

    We are going to Asia indeed, but it is either that or USA for almost every club now, and half the team usually don't play until midway in the preseason. It will be World Cup and ACN season btw, with the later being midseason.

    Jonathan Tah

    Something we don't know? Dude, Christensen has a tendinitis, Xavi himself admit that. It is a freak of an injury that is chronic and doesn't go away. It isn't even something you can diagnos with a standarized tests X-ray or MRI test in many cases. Look at his minutes. The guy reached 2.5K...

    Jonathan Tah

    1) Ideally, you have healthy players. When you don't, you plan based on that. As said in previous post: Cubarsi is a kid, Christensen is shot, Araujo injury history is scary. Inigo is a 50-50 to stay, and that is a question for only one more year. We have to either address one CB this year, or...

    Jonathan Tah

    So, he is a perfect fit age wise, only won one league in his career, so a hungry player. You are mentioning hunger as a positive thing? Real have signed both Rudiger and Alaba at similar or older age btw. Barca has made their first rebuild mostly by players of that age. Players who peaked and...

    Jonathan Tah

    28 and being older than our CB is the point. We don't need young CB at this point, a guy at that age still has solid 5 years in him. Cubarsi is 17 (almost 18) and even though he is the definition of an early bloomer he shows lack of experience a lot. Having Inigo beside him showed the...

    Kind of love the honesty from Neville

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Tbf, this isn't a bad story. Many deals happen through connections, and those guys who has been long enough in the game, especially at lower levels tend to have those. Pedri deal was like that. Las Palmas felt they needed to cash on him and they had connections with Planas, who talked to Abidal...

    Xavi vs Iniesta

    Xavi was more or less the same CM he was that year, maybe a little more freedom but he wasn't an AM by any mean. That was still Iniesta.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    It will be mostly the Espai Barca project from what I understand, work will start after finishing Camp Nou. Madrid stadium looks ugly, they failed in sound isolation, and so far their pitch is the worst in Europe top clubs. With sone pointing to it as a cause of the several ACL injuries they...

    Estêvão

    Not necessarily flops, but he could fail to displace Palmer and a lucrative move might be best option for all involved. Premature discussion though, he still needs to show himself in Europe
