    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    It hasn't proven to be success either. So why it should be exemplary? And that further prove how risky such strategy is, Marlon, Maia & Fernandes has barely proven to be success story, at least with Marlon we had 5M profit which covers half the loss of the later two. And half what RM paid...

    Sergi Roberto

    As much as I am looking for this day, it won't be an end of an era (that was overall good one) and I would be sad a bit :lol:

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    He was decent in 1st half, awful second so far He isn't the best penalty taker but by no means bad one, if it wasn't him it would have been Mpabbe who isn't that great either

    Jordi Alba

    I can understand a brain fart in front of goal with that chance in front of goal, at least more than an attacking fullback having space in front of him and just moving outside for pathetic attempt to cross.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Did City strategy prove to be a first team success? I mean the 3 names you mentioned hasn't proved anything. We have bought plenty of young Brazilian before. I mean for 3M court gave us, would Santos just put cap on their best 2 assets at 20M? Doesn't sound plausible tbh Both are really...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Playing devil advocate, it will be because of the player himself most likely. In few years he might be asking for more $$$ or even decline Barca for another club (since the agreement is between us and Santos, and he isn't obliged to come here) If we believe he is the real deal it will be smart...

    Haaland or Complete Squad Overhaul?

    Why? Font actually wanted Xavi as head of all. Alemany actually fits the profile you want, he is a management guy, former CEO who is about efficiency, a guy like him will empower such departments even more than Xavi. A foitball SD is actually a guy who filters those data with more human...

    Premier League 2021/2022

    Calling Ragnick a SD turned into coach is kind off hilarious. Ge is a good coach who is very respected by his peers, but without great results to show for it. Reminds me a bit of Bielsa Arteta isn't proven good coach either, he could prove himself being one but not yet

    Erling Haaland

    Before starting, I think we are assuming presence of funds for transfers. My question regarding this, is who are the elite CB and DM who will cost 75M+? For me, I see 3 "as good as it gets" DM replacement of Busquets. First one is Brozovic, Caqueret & Tonali The Croatian is free agent, and...

    Haaland or Complete Squad Overhaul?

    I think you are kind out of touch with youth :p Haaland is a physical beast, which is one of the most appreciated skills now in football and social media era. With great agent that knows how exactly to market him, and then a big club to help him to achieve that. He will do fine in that regard...

    Haaland or Complete Squad Overhaul?

    Assuming health (which is always important in all big deals) I would say Halaand. We get someone who change the culture and brings hope and goals to the club, we already have good young players in midfield to support him early. Also, brings a poster boy which is really needed

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Why would it be? Pedri is an outlier, rare case. We can buy 50 players from Segunda in next 5 years and we might not find a new Pedri tbh. We scout Spain a lot and bring ton of talents to La Masia with mixed success rate. Brazil is the biggest talent pool in South America and probably second...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    -I don't agree with calling Alba nobody tbh, I don't like him but that is too much. -We do it by voting rather than seniority, but there is always a respect for seniority in mist dressing rooms. Alba had seniority over Roberto iirc, Pique too over Busquets (in both cases it wss marginal) and...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    MATS is expensive, more expensive than his worth. Sooner or later the board will try to get rid of him, even with Xavi and his amigo bromance. And tbf Stegen competition is Neto, tough to judge what Xavi will do with better GK. So it makes sense from club stand point. Regarding the GK view...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    He left in 2018, had solid season in Eibar and then loaned to Getafe on 2019 where he was good then we sold him in 2020 befire Getafe sold him in 2021. Till 2020 we could have got him back. He was performing well with B team but Abidal had weird affection toward Miranda and basically tried to...

    Joan Laporta

    Alemany was CEO before, was offered to be CEO of RM multiple times. He is as qualified as it gets to be our CEO. Help me here, but other than Grau (who was less qualified than Alemany) I really don't remember many CEO of the club. What was their backgrounds? Reverter was always an outlier, he...
