    FC Barcelona Finances

    La liga will keep Socios more satisfied, and that is what matters. Club doesn't need to pay all debts if they sell something, no one does that anyway.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    The club will bet on increased revenue from new stadium along a less restricted rules that will happen once Tebas is off in 2024 along effect of Covid financial hit on books being decreased as time goes by. Then they will consider selling part of the club and very unlikely to reach 30% even. We...

    Vitor Roque

    Context mate. It is about great players missing such chance at young age being normal, finishing is usually a skill that develop with time, although clearly not for everyone. Mbappe was a beast, true. Still missed sitters, also true. Benzema missed sitters till he was 30, Messi wasn't great...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    tbf, we had almost all our defense, along Messi and other midfielders out during this tie. We weren't going to win anyway as it was Bayern's year, but I think with a full squad it would have been something like 2 or 3 goal total difference. Having a sick coach didn't help either.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    They can, but with limited number of games, if they reach it the player gets promoted automatically. I think the number is 5 games, but not 100% sure.

    Vitor Roque

    He is 18 years old who lack game rhythm coming from an injury

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He plays as SS/AM for Palmiras from game compilation I've seen from him, rather than RW. Looked WC talent there. Played back as RW during the U-17 WC and didn't stand out. Don't think the RW thing is an issue, and surely not with Lamine. Honestly, he has much higher potential than Lamine IMO...

    Transfers and Rumors

    Oscar Zambrano seems to be going to EPL this winter. Bournemouth, Luton are interested, Manchester United too but might be another case of driving the price up.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    No, he plays like a 38 years old Busquest, and Busquets is still 35. This is an attachement to old profile IMO, when we need to evolve, will prefer to wait on Bernal over wasting significant resources on Redondo. Maybe if he doesn't renew till the summer and we pay something like 1M for him and...

    Good deal for both sides tbh

    Ronaldinho

    Honestly, it wasn't. Those 3 never really had the chance to play and produce much with each others, Messi was still young and not complete while being injury prone, then R10 declined and was injury prone himself. They barely played together in 07/08 for example. It was a matter of glimpses and...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Is this acreal quote? I doubt it and iirc they thought about it with Maradona but went back after realising it means one player less in big tournaments as FIFA rejected their request to use another number. And generally I agree with Temp here, while I think Messi now is even a bigger a legend...

    Annual reminder that today 28th of December is day of innocents, the Spanish version of April fool.

    Chadi Riad

    Probably an Emerson type of deal, so we want to cash on him immediately, or we we are ready to make a sale in defence to reinforce midfield

    Vitor Roque

    He is a relentless player, fairly athletic and strong for a 9. He should get us many tap ins and get many easy chances if he succeeds here. Don't expect a wow factor with him, you are setting yourself for disappointment then.

    One thing stands out about this kid is his passing, top notch playmaking skills for a kid of his talent.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Only if you are prioritizing him big time. We did that with Roque, we were willing to push the limits for him. Seems that isn't the case for many others (Arda, Echeverri & maybe Estevao) I mean look at it this way, Madrid got Endrik in 2022, Arda in 2023, City got Alvarez in 2022 and are getting...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Neymar was never really in the same category of Messi and CR7, because those 2 are the greatest and most dominant club players of all time, at worst at modern football. No matter how good he is, he wasn't going to beat those 2, and being Brazilian he didn't have a chance to wait till those 2...
