    Ronald Koeman

    This. It is the main reason I want him to stay another year. I don't think we are winning anything next year anyway, it is better to keep Koeman to set up the next coach for success, rather than letting him go, and bring someone in win now mode who isn't going to win

    Ilaix Moriba

    They provide different things for sure, but both will get minutes at same position which will make it a competition between both for minutes. We have 3 spots in midfield, one is DM and 2 others for CM/CAM Neither are DM, and niether is FDJ ( 3 coaches in row don't play him there) which leaves...

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    Honestly, I am with Ibra on this. He isn't telling Lebron to shut up, but voicing what he thinks what should be done. Same thing was said by Steven Adams a few weeks earlier or JJ podcast. Lebron is obviously free to not accept that too, just like people are free to call his hypocrisy on some...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Xavi discussion in Araujo thread is just one of the weirdest off topic discussions I've seen in this forum, and I've seen plenty :lol:

    Erling Haaland

    No one has ever argued against that. All the discussion is based with the condition "if we have the funds"

    Joan Laporta

    I might be just hopeful, but I think Allemany job will be overseeing the overall structure of the sporting project, the scouting, data, La Masia etc, probably some of the main hiring too. OTOH, the new sporting director will be in charge of the 1st team and the signings. He doesn't want to put...

    Isn't his sister and son still there?

    Victor Font

    Every team, or organization that succeeds, always need luck beside them tbh Laporta had plenty for sure, but his main success was due to trusting the right people to make those decisions. There is a reason he is the only president in club history to win CL at the 3 major sports (BB,Handball and...

    Joan Laporta

    He refused tp specify, out of respect to the current folks working with the club. But it seems Alemany will be basically the one who will play the major role in making the football calls. Whether as a direct sporting director, or some sort of adviser (like Crujif himself in first term) will be...

    Xavi Hernández

    Timing is important. I am not against Xavi in general, I am against the timing for it. The club was on a way better state in 2008 than it is in 2021 when Pep came in for example. In 2003 fans hated Rijkaard signing because 2 other coaches turned us down, ironically they were both Koemann and...

    Xavi Hernández

    I really don't care about the results with Koeman. He is doing decent job with the youngsters, and giving them more playing time and better development. He is also trying to give us more direction. We are in rebuilding phase, and while we will try to be competitive and competent in...

    Xavi Hernández

    That is true, but that is actually in favour of Pirlo. Xavi didn't experience different football philosophies. Doesn't have that rich experience that someone like Pirlo had being coached by different teams. He is also very idealistic and lacks progressiveness in his mind, to an extent that...

    Xavi Hernández

    You are making a good case against Koeman (although I disagree) and no top coach being present, but what are you basing your Xavi claims on? I mean Xavi was smart player and a legend, but this is where it ends His reign with Sadd isn't even that promising tbh, his lack of work in Europe before...

    Joan Laporta

    https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2021/02/25/603774c446163f02048b4574.html The names he brings has way more weight than the ones Font have, although some nostalgic names there tbh. OTOH he touched some progressive points, about need for change, adding new names, date being available for...

    Erling Haaland

    Genuine question, but do we actually know that? Because afaik this wasn't an officially stated number by the club or the board, and all presidential candidates asked to see books of the club first before assuming the transfers. I mean, we all know for fact the financial situation is...

    Ronald Koeman

    If we judge him based on this, then it is better to let him go because there is no way he will reach those levels. It is either to forget about the initial hype of him, due to price tag and favoring him over Mpabbe, and act like he is a good squad player/border line starter or just move on from him.

    Erling Haaland

    Exactly. Even the presidential candidates are waiting to see the official records of the club, but somehow the fans thinks they know better

    The post say they didn't put that in contract, and the player himself said that
