    Premier League 23/24

    Tactically and in terms of physical preparation and knowledge it is better tbh, sport science and tactical knowledge advances in one way tbh. In terms of entertainment it is far behind. And football is entertainment industry so there is a legitimate case that it is behind. Talent wise, the...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Benzema has improved his finishing iirc. But yeah, those are exception of the rule

    João Cancelo

    Cancelo has been always like this, and clubs put up with those bad games because he can be lethal against bottom teams. In a world were Balde is starting LB, having Cancelo here is good enough. But we are in a situation where we can negotiate another loan, buying him will be stupid.

    Vitor Roque

    Xavi rarely takes player out of his doghouse once he is there. If he isn't convinced with Roque, he isn't going to change his mind. It will make sense to loan him out tbh.

    Vitor Roque

    He is another high working technically limited CDM who was available for peanuts, just like Romeu. He has even played less minutes than Orio this year.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Eh, training with first team is sometimes not related to how you are rated. But the need of players in training and who is available in youth teams that won't hurt them during games. Eman was a highly rated signing last summer, no idea how his time is here.

    Vitor Roque

    30M, and 25M in bonus (5M for each season he plays 50% of the games). And 2 things: 1-Barca need long term 9 with Lewa age, if Roque proved to be such a guy and we missed on him we would be crying about the short term thinking of the club. paying for potential 9 is worth it regardless the...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Guido as a backup is an upgrade over Romeu, it is a decent deal assuming he is on low wage. We need a starter though.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    ^^^good post mate. I really liked Estevao early videos, but since getting promoted it seems he isn't doing well. Not worth massive price tag atm but potential is obviously huge. Luis Guilherme is also a guy to follow. Very good despite being forced out of position. French league has ton of...

    Xavi Hernández

    Exactly. He is a top player but doesn't address biggest two needs; CDM and LW. He doesn't address biggest weakness: building from the back in high pressing games, and back up GK. He is quality, no doubt. But he is the kind of llayer you sign when you have the luxury to do luxury signing, or...

    Liverpool

    Wasn't Klopp hired before Edwards promoted to became SD anyway? And both him and Klopp had a lot of disagreements btw, there are many "theories" that him leaving is the reason Edwards has accepting this semi return.

    Rafael Márquez

    Barca has 2nd highest paid first team squad in Europe according to UEFA btw. There is simply several ways of looking at spending, in some of them we are the poorest and in others we are one of the biggest spenders.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Mentality only shows after the test of time tbh. It is one thing that people loves to hype so early. We have called every new kid as a Mentality monstar unlike previous generations, that included the likes of Pedri, Moriba, Nico and Mingueza. So, I don't know if Lamine has the mentality or...

    Rafael Márquez

    I would like to see him staying another year, and if Mascherano do decent job in the Olympics, he should take over him in 2025, just like he did as a player before lol. If not, I think Belletti will take over.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    If the board thinks that guys like Messinho or I.Diarra are close to that level of talent, you pull the trigger. Or you are unsure he will honour his word and renew next year, then you surely do it. Otherwise, keep him and take the risk.

    Bundesliga

    Ragnick is a bit like Bielsa, he is one of those super clever coaches but is more of a teacher and example for future coaches, rather than the nan to have massive success on his own. His type will always attract clubs tbf. Doubt Tuchel will stay with Bayern, he will be on speed dial for first...
