    Spanish Supercup semis: Barca - Real 2-3

    Of all the 5 players defending in front of MATS, only one is under 32. The other 4 are 38, 33, 32, 34. With last 2 completing 33 and 35 in couple of months The older guys might be better, but we need to blend them with younger players

    Spanish Supercup semis: Barca - Real 2-3

    We have 2 GKs, Mingueza, Puig at the bench. Don't think being bum is convincing argument here, he is better than those names. And he actually done well against Vini when he moved to RB last clssico

    Good news for him, hope he can save his career

    Emre Demir

    I think Blanco is true winger tbh, while Emre is central player. Don't know how good he is and if he is ready for move to Barca B whom they seem to need more experienced players rather than teenagers, but staying on the bench in Turkey for a whole year is too much

    Xavi Hernández

    That is the problem, we don't have fullbacks who can exploit space anymore. Alba used to do it but is having bad year, although Xavi isn't helping him at all tbf. Dest has the physical attributes to do it, and when focused will do it but that is fairly rare sight, Alves is ancient and Balde is...

    Emre Demir

    Completes 18 in 3 days and will be eligible to sign for Barca B then. Wonder what is the plan with him

    Xavi Hernández

    Yeah, he doesn't like those too many young players :cool:

    Mateu Alemany

    I would have loved Edwards, but tbf the man had a great element of luck in having Klopp on his side before he was named SD. Also different systems and xountry etc, he isn't a slam dunk. Doubt Alemany will be working on his own, the club probably has other type of "Planas" working in the shadows...

    Mateu Alemany

    Because Coutinho was injured? Why would any club sign him when he wasn't fit yet?

    Erling Haaland

    There is a "theory" that Raiola will force the deal to be completed during next few months before FIFA change the rules that limit agent's commission to max 6% of the deal, as such a rule will make a huge loss for Raiola and his dad. Don't know how believable is this tbh, especially since...

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    He started 5 of Chelsea six CL games and 11 of the 19 games he was available in the league. Doesn't sound like a bench player to me.

    Philippe Coutinho

    Players can always lower their wage if it means more long term money. If he do well there, which I doubt, it will be last chance to fool a team for 3 or 4 years contract. Better than going back to Barca's bench and wait till you are 31 to fibd only club interested is in Brazil

    7 - Ferran Torres

    Pique was also a back up CB at strong side, and even if we had paid 55M for him he would have been success. Torres is a gamble, and comes with risk for sure but that doesn't mean he us bad signing. You simply has to take this type if gambles in football

    FC Barcelona Finances

    It affects next summer because those players aren't calculated anymore, Coutinho doesn't count 25M amortization per season anymore , Pjanic doesn't count as 15M anymore. Without, the club would have never loaned Pjanic for example, since a loan means 15M loss on this season. It gives...

    FC Barcelona Finances

    It had no effect on our cap space. We were having losses anyway, reduced cap beyond our ability to meet it anyway, 1:4 rule no matter what. And why it would affect any sponsorship? It has zero relationship to them. In my opinion, it was the best move he made in his presidency.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    I wonder if we have done it to Griezmann too? I don't think we have de-valued him as much, but I suspect we decreased his value a little bit. His traditional amortization will be 24M per year, while we loaned him on 10M (14M loss) and the obligatory option (in case he played 50%) is 40M which...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    If it is true, it is actually brilliant. We are covering all basis, sealed the deal either now or next summer. Not sure what is the embarrassment here. And folks need to relax, we won't sign CVC for F.Torres. :lol:

    Philippe Coutinho

    I would look for 1.5 year loan options first tbh. Coutinho himself will want to be settled in new club before the world cup itself, and we will have Umtiti situation again and Pjanic to deal with next summer. Need to decrease the load of dead weight a bit especially since next season will start...

    Erling Haaland

    Not just status in terms of fame, but ability too. Not sure if yo are including that or not. But generally I agree. But will comment on last sentence. Teams need prolific goal scorer, very few can survive without it. And those usually happen with certain coaches. Pep is the only sure thing of...
