    Xavi Hernández

    Let me start by saying that the quote you mentioned is irrelevant to the discussion. FDJ being a vertical player is well documented and everyone knows it, I already mentioned it when he was still in Ajax and how it will be a problem for the whole team to adjust to it. And it will need time. But...

    I don't think Tebas has any authority on CDR

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    How so? Is it one of those 1st options? Weren't our relation with them broken? I mean I don't rule us making deals with them, but this feels weird. He is really highly rated and he is a one worth following tbh, could be the next Marquinhos. Young CB isn't really our priority as we need more...

    Xavi Hernández

    He was a big liability against RM, he barely was able to make a forward attempt while being liability against Vinicious. Our best RB dealing with Vini this season was actually Dest. I don't see the hype on current Alves at all, and if he was another player giving us exact same in last 3 games...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Don't think we will sign someone unless it is loan tbh, probably someone like Icardi who is in the market for loan.

    Xavi Hernández

    Don't think I can agree with that. And this is a rebuilding project, you need to have patience with the young players tbh.

    Memphis Depay

    Well played sir :cheers:

    Aurelien Tchouameni

    I don't think he fits anything the club is building, not just Xavi tactics but the younger midfielders that will stay. That is despite him being actually great. Nico, Pedri & Gavi need someone who is closer to spoiler, so I prefer a clearer DM, Tchouameni is a b2b which won't fit and will cost...

    On the defensive end? We are And that is what I said

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Jutgla and Abde has done well under him. Balde was available for 5 games with B team, not sure I can blame Sergi for his form

    Xavi Hernández

    I am not exactly disagreeing about your point, I actually agree. I just think we need to add better organisations in the backline We have better defense than what we are showing

    Xavi Hernández

    I am seriously confused what is this all about regarding my reply

    Xavi Hernández

    I think "solid" is achievable wih better DM and GK, even with current defense. Don't think we need world class for that. Sure we need reinforcements there but we are better than what we are showing IMO

    Frenkie de Jong

    Can you tell us more about his style? My current favorites are Tonali but he won't leave Milan, and Maxence Caqueret from Lyon, whom I think can be perfect compliment to our midfield and if we moved fast can get him on good deal

    Erling Haaland

    Isn't that L'Equipe news is basically recycling what Romero said in April? Which Raiola denied too (which doesn't mean much)

    Xavi Hernández

    Defense isn't just about players tbh, and while we lack them there is clear lack of tactical discipline from the team. That 3rd goal reminds me of that counter we conceded against Betis, or against Benfica And Xavi actually makes the team defend deep a lot of times, and we still concedes from...

    Xavi Hernández

    Main problem I have with Xavi is direction, and where we stands in our rebuild. regarding direction: Do we play possession football? are we attacking team? conservative one? are we pressing or sitting back? I seriously don't know, and it seems he has a problem doing one way without...

    Xavi Hernández

    Well, then he sees football wrong and it is a mistake from his part that he needs to fix

    Xavi Hernández

    So, what do you suggest? Keep them for eternity? Sooner or later they will have to be phased out and we need to start doing so asap. No need to do it all at once, but it seems we actually decided to add more oldies/amigos this winter instead of bringing replacement

    Xavi Hernández

    This is the coach thread, so I think it is fair to expect people to blame coach for his consistent mistake. :lol: And it is also rational to hope the coach will one day to see it, or at least the board will see it and phase Busi out
