    Joan Laporta

    The guy who is supposedly taking over Romeu has good CV too, probably even better than the later. Laporta recruitment is always good tbh. It is his strongest ability. We kept other sections competitive and improved first team from where he first arrived. In business we made solid deals overall...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Dest has an injury and will be out for 9 months. Lenglet has 2 more years, and did worse this season in comparison to the last one. Not sure how they look on their way out.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Lenglet? Iñaki Peña? Dest? Alonso? Roberto considering injuries.

    Javier Tebas (LFP President)

    The league is just outdated. Many outdated stadiums, last one to put technology, outdated FFP rules, outdated president of the League, many clubs with outdated style of play, even academies in Spain isn't as good as ones in most other countries. And they still believe everything is fine, no...

    Guille Fernández

    Isn't his main position AM?

    João Félix

    4M salary cap hit for Felix is good tbh. Context matters tbh, players like Rafinha used to have bigger cap hit. 4M cap hit is for an above average player for midtable team, or end of the bench player in Barca. Now, if this is the cost of a new loan, do it. If it is North of 8M, move on...

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    It is about the timing though. -Xavi believed in Busquets and wanted him to renew in 2022 -Zubimendi wanted to stay in Sociedad as a starter in teams with several failed attempts to make it to CL, and was already negotiating renewal. -Ferran Torres joined in January 2022, by summer 2022 it was...

    João Cancelo

    Cancelo isn't the guy to play those games (PSG & RM) because he can be easily exposed in defense. He was that way since he was a youngster in Valancia. He is a guy you use to beat smaller teams in the league, and in that he is very good. If Balde was healthy, Cancelo season would have been...

    João Félix

    Felix isn't a flop here by any mean. He cost us less than half a million, he has 16 goal contribution in just over 2K minutes. Those are solid number. He is frustrating player, but this is an absolutely bargain deal for us.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    If Faye isn't him, Yoro or Hato would be a dream signing for Barca. But we have zero funds for either lol

    8 - Pedri

    Well, Lamine has very close body to Fati and is suffering more brutal tackles from younger age. But let's hope he is blessed we injuries because that is the only thing that can save us.

    8 - Pedri

    Well, that was 17-18 years old Pedri. Now Lamine is 16 and played 2450 minutes and counting at 16, with 6 games to go, a Euro and potential Olympics. And next season he might be a starter from the beginning, with a possibility of Raphinha being sold and Ferran turning into his only competition...

    16 - Fermín López

    I would put him as 4th option for the 2 interior position.

    Sergiño Dest

    Had knee injury, some journalist thinks he might be back in 2025. Still No confirmation of the type of injury.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    How are you guys watching Barca B this days? Seems they have closed the door on youtube streaming. Any other quality channels out there?

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    PSG shit the bed against RM and Bayern with an awfully constructed squad in 2022, with coaches who were built for underdog team and not for winning teams. Messi himself wasn't that good, and was more or less in his semi-retirement while only caring about NT. Now they have a serious coach and...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Yes, RM has been doing that for past quarter century. No one has just bragged about it and called it levers like Laporta has done.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Rudiger has just assisted City last goal ffs :ROFLMAO: Their whole defense suffered in that game, including Rudiger. And he isn't that great on ball as you making him out.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    How many times do we need Zubimendi to reject us? He is loyal to Sociedad and most likely will move abroad. Without Raphinha our attack is mediocre at best, at least this year.
