    Joan Laporta

    Abidal was a stubborn SD who weren't convinced with the coach and was trying to prove he is the "alpha" in a desperate way, denied EV request for LB which was essential, didn't try to bring a proper tactical replacement for Paulinho and forced the player he wanted on the coach (Vidal, Malcom...

    Joan Laporta

    I don't want Crujif to be hired as SD because the club is turning their DNA into a form of nepotism gradually, that is I agree with. We are gradually turning into closed club that isn't open for new ideas. But Jordi is like EV for example, who was a bench warmer for 2 years in Barca and more...

    Joan Laporta

    Jordi has 10 years or so as SD, and he wasn't a bad footballer either. Mediocre player for Barca level maybe but not bad footballer.

    Breaking news! Ramon Planes Resigns

    I liked Planas, very good in scouting youth. But it is always questionable with those SD whether or not they can think big, when they are in club like Barca Same for Overmars btw, He isn't a slam dunk by any mean

    Samuel Umtiti

    I am guessing, but I think he has nice loyalty bonus that he will never leave because of it

    8 - Pedri

    Yeah, both are free , also Zakaria and Kamara, plenty of others will have 1 year left and could be cheap

    Sergi Roberto

    He can, he actually has promise unlike Semedo or Vidal for example

    8 - Pedri

    What does "talent" mean? Busquets has ton of talents, Gavi has a lot of it. Both are 6 seasons away from being dominant midfielder, which rarely happens before the age of 24 (even for Xavi, Busq, Iniesta) and rarely lasts beyond 31. I mean sure, in terms of priority we should prioritise...

    8 - Pedri

    We are thin in midfield just like other lines, if we want to raise the quality of the team that is a must. A starting DM and a solid CM is essential. Attack needs an overhaul anyway , defense is utter shit except for 3 players who shouldn't all be starter. And GK is joke. The reality is at the...

    Yeah, we actually need at least 2 signings in midfield, preferably those who aren't 23 or younger.

    Josko Gvardiol

    Future of Bayern defense looks bright

    Sergi Roberto

    Roberto in 17/18 season has been by far the best RB we had since Alves, and he is still better option than Mingueza, Dest is currently better. His health is a warning sign, he is almost 30 and his work rate is actually one of his strengths, so being an injury prone 30 years old player doesn't...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Ibra at same age of current Messi (or 3 months younger if we want accuracy) was playing his 4th season in French league, that was his 10th season of his career in non top 4 league. And Messi has actually played only 19 career games less than Ibra at the senior level, and he is 6 years younger.

    Xavi Hernández

    Lampard and Pirlo coached former teammates, Pirlo coached Morata, Chiellini & Bonucci who were his teammates, the later two were his teammates for 4 years iirc. Lampard had couple of those with Azpilicueta, Willian & Christensen but non of those were there for more than 2 years with him. Pep...

    Abde Ezzalzouli

    That is very strong statement tbh. The club had a lot of faith in Abde, outright buying him for 2M while we got Demir for less, albeit with friendly contract that is likely 5 times worth than Abde. Age in Demir side, as he is a year and half younger, but other than that I am not sure he showed...

    Is there is a real source for that rumour?

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    As a board member, not as team doctor.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Puyol was great technically, was once voted tge best RB in the world due to his technical abilities. Icam not sure where this myth about him came from

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    The 7th shot was the one he "saved" in 1st goal. I mean I just watched the game an hour ago or so and I already knew in advance he had shit game, but I was still shocked by that level
