    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I've my doubts about Fort tbh, as he is a defensive RB who struggled with athletic wingers (French team destroyed him in U17) but you got a point. He has their profile and within their age bracket, even younger. So, since he is already here then it doesn't make sense now to go for a project RB...

    Ivan Fresneda

    Fresneda was always too green for first team football, even for Rayo itvwas clear they use him out of necessity rather than outstanding ability. He has the tools to be very good (not elite) starting RB in big club but he was years away. Barca actually offered him a B team chance iirc in order...

    Mikayil Faye

    His agent strikes again, lol.

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    A tendinitis (tendinopathy is the correct name) is a shit injury to have tbf and actually explains a lot if it is what keeps him out. It is essentially a degenerative injury that in some cases never goes away, and you just alter your life for it. I would imagine that achillis tendinitis is one...

    Oleguer

    A thread on reddit reminded me of this guy. Apparently he was into Politics before his football academy. Run into elections but didn't succeed. Also, was surprised to know he had Major in Economics

    Kylian Muppet

    City vs PSG will be their dream. Mbappe vs Halaand finals will be a big draw for the younger generation, and both sides are the clear favourites from their brackets.

    João Félix

    You don't save your opponent shit load of money to have him out of 2 games. Mendes would never allow

    Keep it up Marc, we will need it

    11 - Raphinha

    Depends on whether the reaction was for himself or his teammates. A player being angry that he could have done better, is more than welcomed. Those few seconds the director zoom on him don't tell the story

    22 - Marc Bernal

    This explains a lot to me, Bernal has been more comfortable whenever he was more advanced in midfield rather than when he gets the ball in the back. At 16 this transition happened a year or two max before he joined B team. It also confirms my idea that unlike his 2007 born peers (Lamine &...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    This is my take with Faye tbh. He is mistake prone especially positionally, while not being as athletic as advertised to cover for it or to warrant the hype. His potential is being a Kounde, which would be massive for us if it happens for sure, but he is years away from it. I am still...

    Luis Suárez

    Doing well for Miami.

    Vinícius Júnior

    Clear yellow cards maybe, as classico is within next 3 rounds but could have done it next game and missed a game against Mallorca between City games and before Classico. Also remember, Spanish teams has done days before CL first tie due to CDR final. So load management doesn't make sense now...

    Apparently will be called for Senegal NT

    Champions League 23/24

    Either that or reach the finals while Atletico gets knocked out from BVB

    Champions League 23/24

    Napoli home was the perfect match in knowing when to sliw the tempo, or push back, when to buipd slowly and when to counter. We played different styles in same game. This is somewhat we aren't consistent at, but if we manage to do it again it will be the key for winning ties like this.

    Other Leagues

    And Overmars proved himself once again with Antwerp. I wonder if some bigger club will take a chance with him? Bad publicity but maybe in some consultant role on paper while cooking behind the scenes.

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    Should we start him against PSG? Not a fan of this, PSG atrack is a different beast than Napoli and a bad game could affect his confidence. OTOH, Inigo is mistake prone and Christensen is the only non awful option for CDM.

    Champions League 23/24

    Exactly, and as I said it was a stupid tactical fart from them. Something that Lucho and PSG has welcomed and didn't try to battle it in midfield. They just wait for your mistake and open things through fullbacks and wings. The smart thing from Sociedad was to do sit back actually. We should...

    Champions League 23/24

    They were failing to PSG trap and it was clear from the start, it wasn't a domination but tactical fart. PSG doesn't really have any desire to control midfield and build from the back, they want the ball going to their attackers and play wide, with FB overlaps and change of position between...
