    Xavi Hernández

    Which is my main argument, that the other poster never tried to comprehend. Qatar attracts coaches who is 1st division coaches in Europe, but not attractive enough for any club aspiring something big. That is still more attractive job than going Pep or Alonso route coaching bunch of kids, he...

    Xavi Hernández

    I am going to make a 2nd quote for this as it is too much of an edit: Regarding developing a coach: I am not actually disagreeing btw. Gulf countries actually rarely hire a coach with no 1st division experience already. They prefer the Hector Cuper, Frank Rijkaard type of coaches. Xavi is an...

    Xavi Hernández

    You keep deferring from the argument, it is a simple question really. Which 40 something coach will prefer taking a job in Segunda B or Segunda over a top coaching job in Gulf country with 3 times the salary. And the world cup runner up hired a coach who worked for 5 years in the same region...

    Xavi Hernández

    Oh, I noticed your reading comprehension is bad. I didn't compare football to football, I compared coaching job between 2nd division football (with exception of championship) and 3rd division football and top coaching jobs in middle east, where coaches get paid double what they will get in...

    Xavi Hernández

    So, citing a stupid ranking, that is cool. There are ton of those. Even if true, it doesn't change the fact that: A- A coaching job in top teams in Qatar is more appealing to any coach than Segunda division. Judging by tons of coaches who went there for over 2 decades. You are delusional and...

    Xavi Hernández

    A-That is largely due to Illaix value being 10M, inflates the whole team value. B-Transfermarket is horrible way of judging anything. terrible market value estimation, terrible assist calculation, other than contract length there is nothing to see there

    Xavi Hernández

    It isn't, at all. And gulf in infrastructure? Are you kidding yourself? Qatar won Asian cup dominantly with a team from local players, it is actually developing in very good rate All while not being related to the fact that "bigger job" is actually different. Hell, even coaching jobs in...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Sounds like Virtue signalling and inaccurate tbh I mean I doubt RM fans thinks of Ramos or Casillas in any lesser way because they played elsewhere, same with Raul etc. Players in general rarely judged by the end of their career anyway, unless it came with some significant success

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Pep played for Roma when they were same level as Barca. I referred to him as a player and manager, not that it should make a difference He has done it aged 31 too, wasn't too old either

    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi is having a better job at Qatar. People keep calling it mickey mouse, camels etc, but there is no way that coaching 3rd or even 2nd division team in Spain is a bigger coaching job than a top team in Qatar like AlSadd. For that, it will be always difficult for Xavi to see a convincing path...

    24 - Eric García

    Was absolutely great. The guy was in UEFA team of the year in 2002 as RB iirc That said, Puyol was natural dribbler and freak of athlete. Garcia is neither

    Luis Suárez

    Weird statement considering your psychology background :rolleyes:

    Sergio Agüero

    Low Risk Low reward IMO. He isn't going to be a starter or anything, at least not good one. There best scenario is solid 9 from the bench, which isn't a high reward. Worth the risk, since his contract is very favourable

    Joan Laporta

    2 of the rumored players aspire to be working with Barca in the future, which in the long run will be more rewarding financially to them. Sacrificing that for payment now is the stupid thing to do, they won't burn bridge with media, fans and a board that could be here for 12 years.

    Sergi Roberto

    Honestly, I highly doubt that this number is true. Media has been wrong about players salary before, it is very private and few within the club has access to it.

    We are football club first and foremost. In good times, we can spare few millions to other sections to finance their success. But in times of crisis? They can't be burdun on football section, they need to manage on their own just like football section

    Joan Laporta

    Each section should cover for itself. If we are spending beyond their means, there is no reason to continue that. Peanuts or not
