    Nations League 24/25

    It is friendly games replacement. It should be about rotations and trying new players. It isn't above golden cup, never mind Copa

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Can he dribble? Yesterday he looked like he can't beat his man at all, that dribbling is more about having a ball retention ability.

    It isn't fine, and in Spain we even don't have that power. Players can be suspended indefinitely.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    Clubs are weaker than FIFA, SL was already a testimonial of that and they know it now. It will not be scrapped, we have to be realistic. But, getting to old system and correcting a mistake is doable. Coaches loved to rotate in friendlies, but not in tournaments. So get back to friendlies.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    National league being taken seriously is a problem. It was supposed to be a replacement of friendlies, when teams used to use 20 players in the same game. Now, taking it seriously costs clubs more

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    This has randomly popped in my X https://x.com/mo07o07/status/1831622017310740843 If translation doesn't work: 1-Diouf hasn't signed for Metz, but his club agreed the deal. This is a grey area and it seems like it is going to be legal fight. The player got ACL, his club forced him to play...

    11 - Raphinha

    It is nothing tbh. Ter Stegen is GK, so him running half the pitch to speak to referee doesn't make sense. The vice captains are Araujo, Frenkie and Raphinha in that order. With Araujo and Frenkie out, Raphinha is now 2nd captain and the first one in outfield players.

    Nico Williams

    Yeah, Wirtz is awesome but he is SS. Maybe Musiala if he doesn't renew and we have funds. As he is more natural as LW who attacks the middle. But we could be targeting a CF or CDM, and delay LW for another year.

    Frenkie de Jong

    2 of them actually. One was another ancient guy, and after his retirement we work with his heir. But mostly for muscle injuries, mainly hamstring.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    What do you all think of Hugo Larsson? City seems to closely follow him,he was AM converted into CDM, he is just 20 and built like a tank while being fairly athletic. His numbers are weird though, he seems like a great defensive players but his passing numbers are underwhelming to say at...

    Nico Williams

    He is still in summer hangover tbh. He just won CDR with Bilbao (their first major trophy in 40 years) and a Euro with Spain at the age of 22. He will return better. Obviously, you never commit yourself to a player (or vice versa) for a whole year. We will see how it goes and move on from there.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Truth. But tbf to the club, that was Dr. Cugat who was one of the best knee surgeons in the entirety of Europe, and was affiliated with the club and Spain since 1992. Pep used to take Bayern and City players to operate under him. But he was in his 70's and clearly lost his touch, Stegen, Fati...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    And Roque. But soon the 2026 patch will negotiate renewals and MATS won't be top longest 6 or even 10 contracts. MATS renewed in 2023 and lowered his salary (probably redistributed some) so 5 years was expected. tbf, he will be 35 during most of his last season. That isn't bad.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Opting for conservative treatment is always option one, people love talking about surgeries as a magical treatment that people should just go for, when it is rarely the case. And no mattee what people think about, a player own health will always be his decision. There is nothing that can be...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I think @Joan had a point, that the latest leaks about his injury means Barca are no more hoping for big sale for him, that this ship has sailed. If anything, if his ankle still prove to be a problem this season, I think the club shouldn't be offering him renewal, nd wait to see how he does in...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Yes. But apparently this time it was a delay from Las Palmas, that is why we didn't announce it immediately (or all, didn't follow up tbh)

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yes, I will prioritise them over those for sure, unless there is a clear cut solution for one of those positions. Not the Zubimendi of the world, who will just be solid at best.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I know, that is why I said when we have funds, that is the first thing I want them to address.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    One problem I've with current team, and Barca since Covid, is that they accommodate too much for La Masia, and a bit too early. Back during Laporta first stint, a player like Messi had Giuly ahead of him, but he forced himself on the team by being so good. The same happened with Busquets...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I doubt Halaand is ever leaving City at his prime, never mind coming to Barca. But even assuming that we want and capable of getting him or the next one to appear on the scene, the question is why they would come? A player like that won't come for a paper thin squad, he will want a team were...
