    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Davies being 20M salary isn't going to be what he get though, it is his demands + what people expects in add-ons. It could be significantly less than that, only RM or desperate Manu will give him more than 12M. 15M will be his best case. PS He is starting to get underrated btw. He is still a...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Absolutely. How is this even debatable :ROFLMAO: But the main problem is that our own players will look at it and demand similar numbers. Bayern has our own product Adam Aznou, they believe he can be the next Davies. This makes it easier for them. God no. I don't get this Grimaldo...

    BREAKING: Barca have reached agreement with Nike

    We were 60M short of 1:1 according to La Liga's CBO. This only adds 10M.

    BREAKING: Barca have reached agreement with Nike

    This was always going to be a deal for short term on the expense of long term. This is the only reason Nike sit on the table now rather than in 2 years. They had to be offered something in return.

    Carlo Ancelotti

    Real Madrid has only retained Liga title once since the start of the 90's. That was 07 & 08. During same time, only RM won consecutive CL totles, the trio under Zidane. It is normal consistency issues tbh.

    Kylian Muppet

    Rodrygo is sent to the bench. The biggest question is Jude and Mbappe tbh. Both occupy the same areas. Mbappe isn't LW btw, but he is a SS that is more comfortable playing behind a no9, sort like old Messi and CR7 in his last RM years. On paper they would be lusted as wingers, but they were...

    Nico Williams

    4 goal contributions isn't such a bad start for a 22 years old playing with Bilbao, a clubs that lacks a goal scoring threat, where Nico is the player whom most clubs will plan to stop as a priority However, 60 isn't really a bargain, a player like him should be in the 50M-70M range. It is...

    Vitor Roque

    It takes 3 parties to complete a deal. Betis don't do loans unless it is an absolute steal. They are paying Roque wage AFAIK, they need a win in the deal as an incentive to use him. Free loans exist with bottom clubs (Las Palmas) whom you lian academy players to, or when you cover wages like...

    Vitor Roque

    Clubs don't want to develop players for you on free. This is a common practice in Spain, and it incentives clubs to develop players as they get rewarded for it.

    Vitor Roque

    Those complicated clauses aren't usually accurately reported tbf. Even sometimes the writings can be interpreted in different ways. Remember Griezmann? Barca thought 2nd year option is different from buying clayse, Atletico disagreed. Eventually both negotiated a new deal

    La Liga 24/25

    Bilbao is abusing Bellerin side. Very wasteful though. Betis are sleeping, no creativity there

    New goalkeeper?

    Careful here. He is the agent of half of our homegrown players, including Lamine

    New goalkeeper?

    We aren't bringing a real competition to Lewa next year, at most a FA like David who will be shipped out in couple of years, and that's it. Lewa replacement will happen in 2026, and right now it seems we are only short of bench depth. Kind of perfect situation to bring a new GK.

    New goalkeeper?

    This is the first time we are strongly linked to new GK in the MATS era, and it comes with a new coach and a bad injury for him that could end his prime. Never mind he will be 33 when he comes back, even for a GK that isn't young. Unless the clun suddenly believes that Pena is reliable, we...

    Barca squad/XI 2024/25

    It is about the club knowing their ability to get someone like that. Can we spare 100M + massive wage for someone like Halaand or Isak, or we should trust what we have. As it was stated in the Gyokeres thread, the market is awful for no9. It might not be even our choice.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Are we using double pivot system?

    Viktor Gyökeres

    His improvement isn't that much different from a player like Sorloth last year, who was a donkey at Sociedad but improved massively in Villarreal. It might have been a change of coach or personal behaviour tbh. Also, checkout Drogba's career. He scored 15 goals in 72 games in French 2nd...

    Estêvão

    Just realised he is the joint top goal scorer in the league with 11 goals (7 more games to be played) and only 2 has more non penalty goals. Very impressive, especially when you consider he got injury and had slow start for the season. Considering our finances and young talents, I get why we...
