    10 - Lamine Yamal

    As Arsene Wenger always say: quick players age better if it isn't for injuries. Losing a step means they are still quick, losing 2 means they are now average speed. Slow player lise a step and now they are easy to contain. Both Messi and CR7 were super athletic, in different ways, and it...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Perez did sold ton shit of levers, and about to sell stake in the club. Perez is the fucking pioneer of levers, Laporta is the one who just couldn't shut up his mouth about it

    Xavi vs Iniesta

    And the only reason Xavi was in top 3, was because Iniesta scored that goal in the first place, with Spain having one of the ugliest World Cup champion campaigns ever. Otherwise top 3 wouldn't have had any Spanish player, deservingly. So, it isn't like Iniesta robbed him or something. He is one...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Porto Palmeiras, Ahly SC and Inter Miami in the first group of the 2025 Club World Cup. Messi vs Ahly in the opener. Not a big name to face, but no easy team. Could very well end 2nd or 4th depending on how they reinforce the team.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    We aren't selling it to register Olmo, this has been reported since last season. Normal practice as Porque said. We aren't broke, we are overspending to our abilities. We have 400M+ salary cap, we don't see it as enough and spending over it.

    Nico Williams

    Yeah, he is a bit of an athlete rather than a guy who knows how to toy with the ball. His dribbling is basic and his delivery isn't that good. But he knows his limits and doesn't force the issue, this allows him to be fairly productive

    Nico Williams

    I mean I said he isn't a good a dribbler. You want to change that into awful then it's ok :ROFLMAO:

    Nico Williams

    One thing I want to say, there is a lot to criticise Nico for, but his iq isn't one of them. If anything, he is a smart winger who knows where to be and what to do. He is actually a bit limited on the ball, his dribbling isn't top notch and so is his finishing. Many if his decisions are based...

    Xavi vs Iniesta

    Only in 2008 it was Xavi team. There was a reason they pushed Xavi out of position many games in the World Cup, where he had to play with his back to the opponent's goal. They changed the game to fit double pivot of Busquets and Alonso. That wasn't a Xavi team. In 2012 Iniesta was the better...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Honestly, No. It is the sad reality of hype disappointing people. Frenkie is a good player, and decent starter for a club like us. That's his level. Abidal made a 30M offer for him in summer 2018, and had we got that offer accepted, everyone would be talking about him differently. Instead...

    Alexander Isak

    I mean the same can be said about Gordon, Tonali, Guimaraes. They have very good players, but kind of stucked in the middle of nowhere instead of completing the squad.

    La Liga Round 17: Betis - Barca 2-2

    Fear clauses are one of the lamest things, and honestly it should be abandoned in football. Glad we don't make a big deal of it.

    La Liga Round 17: Betis - Barca 2-2

    Betis are in a bad form tbh, they made some bad transfers in 2024. But is never an easy game in Sevilla

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    I don't think the team us dependent on him. But we have 4 attacker unit (Raph, Olmo, Lamine & Lewa) in a team that lacks product from fullbacks and have no attacking depth. Missing any two of those 4, immediately makes us a toothless lethargic team. We are dependent on those 4.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    He is a bust, we know that. But he is the best backup attacker we have, by good margin. Sadly

    Good game for his confidence

    La Liga Round 16: Mallorca - Barca 1-5

    I was hoping for Eric Garcia to start tbh. CB are desperate for rest.

    David Villa

    He was great until he got his leg destroyed while playing for our club, then we pushed him out to save his salary. I will always remember his time fondly, and will always feel we were stupid not to go for him instead of Ibra in 2009

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Well, it is likely less than the saved wages, so it is a net positive. But yeah, it makes zero sense to let him for free.

    Nico Gonzalez

    We will need to sell Gavi too in such case tbh. While I believe Gavi still struggle to identify a certain clear position in midfield, in double pivot he is Pedri backup when Frenkie leaves. Will be a spit in the face if we bring back Nico after selling Frenkie.
