    García Pimienta

    Pimienta would have been relegated by LP if it wasn't for Valle heroics in first half of the season, their last win was in February this year and that is just one win since late January. Garcia has showed nothing that says "future Barca coach" tbh, his resume is worse than the Setien and Koeman...

    Joan Laporta

    Barca hires dozens of professionals, if not hundreds mate. You just picked three names that makes headlines in the media. Folks like Reverter and Eduard Romeu are top professionals who were overqualified for their jobs here, and as I said most of the top professionals are in other departments...

    23 - Jules Kounde

    A Pirlo in his 30's is amazing in such style, it doesn't mean that a guy like Kounde will look the same in it tbh, it will never happen. I am not a fan of this look, but honestly you can't blame a 25 years old guy for having different taste of fashion that he feels is more appropriate to him...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    There is some buzz that we want Javi Guerra, and Deco expressed interest to his entourage. I am not sure for what role tbh, to my understanding he is a versatile midfielder

    Joan Laporta

    I know you currently hate Laporta, and I don't like wasting time trying to change opinions that won't change. But Laporta was and is a top recruiter, that is his area of strength. He can recruit and sell people in joining in. There is actually plenty of competent people that joined him, and...

    22 - Marc Bernal

    It seems like natural instincts to him tbh. It might be a case of a player profile, from physical and skill wise, being different from what his instincts and his mind at. It might be changed, as he celebrated 17 just this week, and this is just his 2nd year as CDM, but it might never change and...

    Joan Laporta

    Not essentially, as long as both have clear roles. Alemany wasn't SD, I have said that many times, he is a lawyer with masters in finance and spent his entire career exclusively as an executive. He isn't the football guy who scout players and decide fits, but he is the one handling agents and...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Could easily be the case,not every player is suited to defend equally good at same situation. Although, I don't like the idea of Kimmich either, not for the rumoured salary. Anything more than 15M gross is way too much.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    None of those names are Deco signings. Alemany was the one doing business for first team last summer and before that. Deco was allowed to do some B team signings (Darvich, Faye, attempts to get Arda) nd he was influential in Roque deal as he was our lead scout in SA. We have no idea yet how...

    Barca squad/XI 2024/25

    Is Stiller a CDM or a deep lying playmaker? I watched him sporadically after you mentioned him and it felt like he is the later. He has a very good passing range but isn't very imposing tbh. He tries on defense but it isn't his best area. But as I said I barely watched him, so your opinion is...

    Ludovic Giuly vs Pedro

    Giuly was amazing, but Pedro was better tbh

    Nico Williams

    You aren't an "established starter" if you are playing thanks to injury and just beating bench player. Cubarsi is atm a limited CB who managed to beat Inigo in the starting line up (thanks to the Basque being beaten by Osmihan) and Faye who is a mistake prone CB in B team. He didn't beat any...

    Nico Williams

    Cubarsi isn't established starter, he started because we were forced to put Kounde as RB after Balde getting injured, and Christensen as DM due to lack of alternatives, both are superior CB, he did great for 17 years old, but despite a good patch when the team was great he was a mixed form...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Did we finish 2nd or 3rd in the group?

    We should never plan next season with Yamal being a starter, we need to learn from our mistakes ffs

    No idea how good ge is, but he is one of the most highly rated young GK in Germany.

    Basketball/NBA

    4 point total difference is far from cooking. Wolves are very good away from home. But yeah, best start for Mavs.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Gavi injury will set him back a bit, I won't have any hopes of him next year, as long as he will properly rehab and get in rhythm. I will take the NBA approach of 1 year rehab, 1 year to get in form. Frimpong is a bit of Flick type of FB indeed, but I just feel him and Balde together will expose...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    No, but his system is built on defenders taking risk and accepting that it will result in plenty of counter attacks. It can fit Araujo style.
