    João Félix

    Man, do you even read what you write? Even your examples contradict what you are trying to say. High expectation? Only a fool had high expectation for Felix, he was a flop for Atletico and failed to succeed in Chelsea We got him because he was the only player we could afford for the price. Tell...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Ironically, Xavi was suited for the 2017 team more than the current one. Team of veterans who understand the game and knows how to get pragmatic wins, while he is good with the politics of the club and is very supported by local fans.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We are linked with Antonio Nusa as a LW option. Highlights is good, he will cost way less than Nico Williams. But he isn't putting up numbers yet and probably too green for Xavi.

    João Félix

    When you judge that individual staff, you say was a good addition then. You don't have all this loss and say "oh, this minimum wage guy was one of the additions, he is the reason why we decreased our shareholder value, fire him" I mean if you can afford hiring a superior employee, sure do it...

    Joan Laporta

    People are discussing a bad rumor so seriously Socios won't make a vote of no confidence for the guy finally renovating Camp Nou, who has the support of almost every club legend and the entire media, with almost zero strong candidates to challenge him. Maybe after next season if it was...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Estevao problem isn't just financial tbh He is older than Lamine and few months younger than I.Diarra, 2 talents we have already in same position. While Estevao had hard time showing his talent in first team with Palmeiras till the last 2 weeks, in opposite to what Lamine was doing here as RW...

    Rafael Márquez

    That is true. And we might face a problem next season if Marquez decides to go elsewhere looking for an opportunity. Right now it seems we are heading for a toxic season, like the one we had with Koeman. It is because we are hoping to get an elite manager in 2025 but Xavi might lose fan...

    Joan Laporta

    June 2026. Was supposed to be in 2027 but Laporta has a belief that terms should be shorter and he made Presidential term only 5 years. It is one thing I actually admire about him tbh

    Vitor Roque

    Historically, Barca loaning a player is a death sentence for the player career at top level. Roque feels he is a victim of an internal war or massive miscommunication. He has done what the club asked from him even before we have even presented an offer to his club. At the end, if he is...

    24 - Eric García

    Well, why would we bring Aleix with current midfield? He isn't CDM, he isn't an AM (a guy who can score/assist) and we have Gavi/Pedri/Frenkie/Gundogan for the two interiors we play. I would welcome such deals if we are selling Frenkie or Pedri and bringing A.Garcia as replacement.

    Joan Laporta

    Folks, good executives have been hired under Laporta, some left and some replaced them. But they cost money, and requires money. Barca doesn't have this tbh, there is no reason for a guy like Txiki to come back so he will have the opportunity to convince free agents to come here, when he can...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    btw, there are rumours that his renewals will be costly at the end of it. It will reach 12M per season in his last year of new contract, when he will be 21/22

    Vitor Roque

    Chelsea made him an offer, Arsenal were interested but was shut down early by his agents. iirc Manu, PSG was in the "we are following you"

    Xavi Hernández

    Only when he was appointed mid-season in QSI first season as owners while having their worst squad in that new era. It wasn't any sort of a surprise really or something to hold it against him. His poor league form only happened in Milan really. Other than that he wasn't really bad except his...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    This is actually a rare occasion that I agree with you. We are pushing young players too soon, overrating them while adding both physical and mental strain on them, asking them to take a leap of development and then we will wonder why they aren't developing. Cubarsi is a great passer, but he...

    Vitor Roque

    No, it isn't. He has done everything the club asked him before, and the manager problem is his positioning (his words not mine) while everyone knew you are coming from a counter attacking team. So loaning him makes zero sense for him, he won't learn Barca way outside of it. This is simply a...

    Vitor Roque

    Again, you are talking from coach perspective which isn't what I discussed. No need to repeat it.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Yes, Poque spoke about 3 seasons in the past to show where we stands now, that is different from suggesting 3 years rebuild. He said this: His point is, if we made such deals, would we get a much worse outcome in the short term than we had past 3 years? And then, there is the problem that...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    You know that this is exactly what we are talking about, right? No one is talking about multiple season thing, it is replacing 3 or 4 players with cheaper one to sort our finance and be able to make big signing by 2026 at max.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Letting Messi and Griezmann go while replacing them with Luuk and Depay was a MASSIVE GIGANTIC STEP BACK, not a small adjustment. Not when the rest of team where in shambles. Valancia, Arsenal & Milan decided to quit and they had no plan to rebound, had no FFP they were trying to solve. They...
