    Lionel Messi - v7

    This. Vidal said the right thing at that time. No one is going to say we are hopeless guys, Bayern are far ahead of us. At the end of the day, whatever you say will be held against you in such defeats, hell even if it was not saying anything at all.

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    I said this is what people think. tbh, I think it was more of appreciation to Rijkaard, who was his 1st team coach, believed in him from very young age, and generally was really popular among his players. The point is, players say different things at different times. Messi once picked Rijkaard...

    FC Barcelona Handbol

    Handball seems to be either really popular in some countries, or non-existent in others. I think this is why the difference n perception for people here. I don't know if it is a top 3 in Europe, but I think in many countries/regions it is.

    Mavericky Puig

    Good manager has to be put in context. Las Palmas had interesting and entertaining team that failed to cope with Liga pressure until they brought in Setien. And he made necessary adjustments for them to succeed. Had mixed , but mostly positive, effect in Betis, but it was clear that this is...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    He actually said it during his time with EV or Lucho. Many thought it was a dig against Pep at that time.

    8 - Pedri

    Alexis is the kind of player that shines only in mediocre teams tbh. Teas that want top 4 finish but not title. Not good enough to carry a good team, and not adapted enough to be in a team not built on him as one of its stars. His only solid season here was lost one, thankfully it got us a...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Half of Barca rebuild process in 2003 was with players aged 27-28 and it was our most successful rebuild. We need some infusion of youth for sure, but we can't try BVB approach, it will be a disaster.

    Would love to see how he would do on Liga team tbh.

    8 - Pedri

    Xavi declined after the great 11/12 season, he was carried by younger elite players like Iniesta, Mascherano,Busquets, Messi etc. He was mediocre in 12/13, not elite but we were winning on high and got Liga with record points. Thiago was sold easily due to lack of vision tbh. We got a decent...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He just said there is no way we get Neymar and even joked about his poisonous dad. Talked about young players and new cycle. How on earth you interpret that as "he wants Neymar, and not youth" is beyond me. Gerard asked and pressured Liverpool to leave during his prime. Totti was at grear...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    Messi himself said before that Rijkaard was his best ever coach. Nothing to really take from those words it changes constantly

    24 - Eric García

    Problem with Garcia is opportunity cost, we could sign for him and then don't go for another CB at all, which could be a disaster

    Youssoufa Moukoko

    Few things: 1-Africans usually have earlier growth tbh, so he might end not getting bigger at all, those things are difficult to predict. 2-Getting bigger isn't always good, in many cases players lose quickness or dribbling ability with it. Some benefits from it tbf, but it as I saud before...

    Philippe Coutinho

    Never mind this doesn't explain why an 18 years old kid is outplaying him He wasn't even doing well with Bayern before coaching change, when Bayern weren't actually best team in the world.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Regarding Yusuf Demir, his videos makes me feel like I am watching left footed Pedri. If he is capable to transform to RW, he will be good purchase.

    Joan Laporta

    Campaigns is about reaching voters, not about hoping that voters reach you. It isn't about the plans and ideas, it is about marketing and PR. Laporta isn't some kind of cules semi-god who you can't be beaten. His enemy got a historical win in 2010 when Laporta had a candidate he supported, he...

    Joan Laporta

    Yes, awful. Laporta has been actually doing good stuff with his campaign among socios past few weeks. Not the best campaigns but at least a typical solid one. Font? He should fire his campaign manager, I don't think he realizes who he is targeting. Guy is working hard to win the internet, not...
