    Ousmane Dembélé

    The idea with Moriba was to force him to agree for sale. With Dembele, i am not even sure we want to sell him. There were old rumours that if he is sold, we are obligated to give BVB all of the remaining add-ons.

    Philippe Coutinho

    Was doing some digging, seems like Brazil maximum tax rate is around 27% which is around 18% less than Spain, as Brazilian resident he will be taxed on worldwide income, so whatever we pay him, it is taxed on Brazilian rules and not Spanish. If they are ready to cover for his 20% net salary...

    Alvaro Morata

    35M is Atletico demands, not Barca offer. It is worth a shot for them to try to "Bartomeu" us. We might be willing to insert buy option like Juve, or take him off their hands for full contract for some spare money. If we pay 40M for him, we probably should fire everyone in the club

    Alvaro Morata

    They are 1 point ahead of us in tight CL race. Makes sense Although I doubt Romero has any source inside Atletico

    Alvaro Morata

    Morata is the type of decent short term stop gap you sign when you can't find a proper long term striker and don't want to commit to 2nd fiddle. Buying him should never be an option. If it is just exchange with Depay for this season, it is ok. If we fail to get proper attacker next summer...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Two things regarding salaries: 1-Every player in big clubs earn a base salary and bonus one, from Messi till the Barca B kids, those raw numbers never tell the full story. 2-Contracts and salaries are private and legally protected documents that media won't get its hand on it easily, for...

    Gerard Piqué

    Marquez was also an underrated long passer, although our offense didn't make enough use of it

    It is good point to start negotiation tbh. If you were them you surely don't start at half

    He already said his next coaching job will be NT

    Abde Ezzalzouli

    Not yet, and still has flag of Morocco on his insta and there is nothing out of his mouth yet. Could very well be a leverage on Morocco NT, their coach is control freak who has "my way or the highway" attitude and already refused to call Zeyesh and Mazraoui because the relation with them is bad.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Gio left us when he was 32 , Azpi will be almost 33. Though Gio was great with Feynoord and NT till he was 35

    Jose Luis Gaya

    Don't agree with the "even" now part. Alba has showed massive decline this season and has missed 7 games and substituted out 3 times due to injury. Next year will be even worse. Balde is probably 2 years away, and we might lack patience just like we did with Cucurulla and Miranda. But this time...

    Marc Cucurella

    EPL fanatics think he is indeed one of the best there

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Players takes pay cuts in order to play beside other superstars and make legacy. Dembele: I am not a star, I am one of the biggest flops in history of the game, if you want to sign someone else then you need to pay me handsomely :lol:

    Ousmane Dembélé

    The most curious thing for me is where Dembele go if he leaves? Does he have a big offer indeed? Or agent is bluffing? Both cases are madness IMO Maybe the club indeed using the media to turn fans against him, although they don't really need that.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    tbf, Laporta has done that in past summer with free agent signings. It worked at the end and he registered all of them, but it is questionable the way he has done it. The only explanation that the 20M the club said it is available is masa-salary, not transfer fee. In such case Ferran cost us...

    Best post-CL team

    Lucho clearly preferred Messi on the RW though, and Suarez was signed based on that, but it is always difficult to force a player like Messi/CR7 etc to stay far from goal . I think it was Messi that finally realized it was better to stay on RW in this 2015 calendar year run.

    6 - Gavi

    Postponed except for last 13 games (not 100% sure that was the number) as there won't be time to play it, so technical loss in such case

    Best post-CL team

    2010 followed closely by 2016, 2012 is distance third. 2016 would have been better if it wasn't for awful timed international break (with MSN, Bravo and Alves travelling to SA) and Messi deciding life is better playing centrally than on RW midway in the season. Such wasted potential
