    Quique Setien

    Ludovit Reis. Was bought from Groningen last summer when he was starter there. Setien didn't seem like his biggest fan though he improved with time. I think he might go on loan next season. Edit:Illax Moriba is compared to Pogba too, he is widely considered our biggest La Masia midfield talent...

    Konrad de la Fuente

    he still has a point, we need a major cleaning up front. Messi/Griezmann/Suarez/Ansu will surely be here, Trincao & Pedri might be here and rotate between lines. We might also fail to sell Coutinho/Braithwaite considering our incompetence. I like him btw, and think he has some sort of future...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Sarcasm or serious? He doesn't have an agent yet, but Rodrigo Messi is the advisor of Fati family and might very well be his agent when he signs one. Although I think eventually it will be his dad.

    Quique Setien

    IF just one of three became starter, FDJ proved he is the WC player we bought and we just need a 3rd missing piece it is still great. If another one became solid bench player then even better.

    Pep Guardiola

    And he is great example of durability too. How many big stars who had big personality he coached? It is small sample size but in football it is still significant. I agree he has improved substantially in dealing with his players, but those things takes time to get out of the reputation. He...

    Lautaro Martinez

    You seem to think they value same statistics you use, value them same way you are and interpreting them same way like you do. Every club will have advanced stats for sure. It doesn't mean they are basing decisions and player evaluation like you do. Football is one of the most difficult sports...

    Apparently people just overreacted:D

    Pep Guardiola

    While I totally agree with you on this, I think one aspect Pep is overrated is dealing with home grown players. He braught the likes of Busquets/Pedro/Thiago with him from B team he coached, but other than that his results in that department is underwhelming to say at least.

    Quique Setien

    Entertainment has value, especially for those who are elite in it. People pay for entertainment, sometimes even more that they are willing to pay for their health. This is why entertainers gets paid more that doctors/nurses/garbage collector. Because same people who don't think it is fair will...

    Quique Setien

    Setien is more or less a Las Palmas level of coach who was aspiring to be "good for Betis" level of coach. Not Valencia or Bilbao level who was aspiring for big club. EV career is way superior than him and it isn't really close. Las Palmas was playing that football in Segunda with their...

    Quique Setien

    For the record, I think the point is to coach us for CL as a stop gap. 1-3 games (if he get to number four he will continue to next year for sure) before going back to your former job. We won't get a big name or even a mid-table coach for that. So it is between Setien, Pimenta & Kluivert. I...

    Penal Madrid

    Yeah, I would love for Simeone and Atletico to finally win it. Liga also need another different winner than classico sides.

    Premier League 2018/19

    He is staying for sure. And yes, it will be an interesting year for him. First time to have 5th year as a coach. After showing decline in 4th year again. He can win CL this year, though there will be an asterisk on whoever win it.

    Quique Setien

    Kluivert is already in a position within the club as one of the directors of La Masia, he has played a role in many purchases and I think he is highly appreciated in the club. He had a successful job as coach with Curacao, was LVG assistant in 2014 WC. Was in contention for coaching job for...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    The priority is always first team, so there is plenty of excuse. B team has to adapt to whatever situation based on 1st team needs. We need our subs and the players who are now basically 1st team players. And honestly, it isn't like the game with B team is important, we have finally started...

    24 - Eric García

    Yes, that is why I said it is 1st game. To assert it is just first impression. And no, I am not writing him off, I am talking about his fit to the team. As mentioned above by few posters he isn't the most athletic/quickest Cb which is what we need. I am talking about fit.

    24 - Eric García

    First time to watch him, not very impressed tbh. Yeah, has potential to be good but he is very bad fit for short term tbh.

    Quique Setien

    He was fired after one of our better performance.

    Sergio Busquets

    The truth is most of our amigos are still very good players and would do well in different situation. Think of Xavi last season, he was on decline for 2 years but still was useful as a bench player. Pique is still our best defender, if we had a quick CB partner and midfield that protect...

    Quique Setien

    Real wasn't really that good at all. And EV already knew the team and had respect of the players. There was a good chance that he would improve in 2nd half just as RM. Do we know that for sure? Nope, we don't have crystal ball and it might have been even worse. But problem goes beyond...
