    Argentina

    Honestly, Tapia should be a legend in Argentinian football. I doubt it is by chance their fortune suddenly changed couple of years after coming to the scene. They are producing better youth, and their decision making is improved drastically. Other than doubling down on Mascherano, and to...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Who is 3rd captain, him or Frenkiem

    Sergi Roberto

    No, otherwise Dembele would have been 3rd Captain. But Roberto was announced Captain the moment Alba left, because of this 4 captain thing. He was voted in 2018 as 4th captain so now he automatically moves to the main captain despite team having only 3 other players remaining from that time period.

    Ivan Fresneda

    Any coach who isn't asked to rebuild will do this. You are citing Pep as an example, but Pep was Barca B coach and he used players whom he already knew, his track record with youth, in 10 seasons outside of Barca, is underwhelming to say at least. Coaches prefer veterans or players they already...

    Ivan Fresneda

    Apparently on his way to Bournemouth.

    11 - Raphinha

    Bernardo here takes the Gavi role but on the right side, not Pedri's. He will be 4th midfielder/winger in that system. Essentially he will push Dembele to the left side and Gavi to the bench. He is Barca wet dream of no 10 / wide winger hybrid, something we have an obsession with, but make no...

    11 - Raphinha

    If we want to sell to make financial relief, then we have to take a risk tbh

    11 - Raphinha

    If City wants Raphinha, it should be outright sale and no Bernardo in the deal. Register new signings, see if we can get Roque now or in January and move on. At most get a loan or two (I am looking at you Chelsea) Bernardo is great player, but he isn't needed, a player swap sounds cool but it...

    Nico Gonzalez

    I think he is going to US now. OJO says there is a big club in Spain that wants him, so future undecided

    João Félix

    It was now or never at Chelsea too, it will be now or never after he fails in Barca and goes to Benfica

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    1.6M is more than they can get anywhere? Are you sure mate?

    Bayern München

    If I going to make a guess, it is like when you play FIFA/PES on amateur level just to try new tricks in the game. Before applying them on other levels. Basically they are using them as human training cones lol

    João Félix

    Except he is below average bench player (for Barca standards) who will be paid the salary of a starter, and that if Atletico even pay a portion of his salary. Felix is the guy who always shows flashes, always a great pass that barely missed, always a great dribble that almost got him where he...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    That is a massive paycut for both Alba and possibly Suarez tbh. Kudos to them if they are really doing it

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    1 + 1 loan with purchase option it is. Seriously though, I would pass on him even for free.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Alba and Suarez? aren't they allowed only 3 player from outside the US system (sslary cap, draft, trades etc)

    Mikayil Faye

    B team, and it isn't just on paper. He will play there unless he surprises massively.

    Barca sign Vitor Roque

    He is a true 9 tbh, it is like wanting Lautaro, Alvarez to play LW. Kid is a poacher, an athletic, relentless one.

    Most Underrated Player in the Modern Era

    In the past 25 years: Christian Vieri, at his peak he was a Halaand of his era, a proper big poacher (Halaand took it to another level though) most expensive player in history at some point but totally forgotten nowadays. his team achievements are underwhelming so that doesn't help, and he was...

    Pablo Torre

    We are paying one third of his salary as part of the loan.
