    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Squad list is released, all 3 of Araujo/Puig/Fati in it. And yet it is just 16 players, including Tenas from Juvenil A as 3rd GK. So it is really 15 players only. And people seriously wanted Setien to let another 3 players go to B team??? Meaningless game or not, we can't just have 2 GKs...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Liga has built a big brand over the years, it will survive and will probably do it quickly.

    Nope, the whole we need a "strong coach to push his well on board" thing is weird. The sporting director is the boss of the coach, not the other way around. When Pep was told to deal with Eto because he is going nowhere, he had to deal with him and play him. Coaches get power over SD in rare...

    This is the job of SD more than the manager. EV requested many transfers, and it was declined. One prime example was asking for LB in summer 2018 and was told to use freakin Miranda. Again, this is a part of the core of the problem. Board hired the coach, but they want him to win with the...

    Victor Font

    Election is one year ahead of us, I don't think we will have good idea of candidates before January. It is not normal to start campaigning couple of years before election like Font did. Laporta seem to be favorite by landslide, he made peace with Rossell and might make peace with media which is...

    The more I listen to him the more I feel he is the Setien of Barca presidency candidates

    Football fans are both greedy and have a short memory span. The whole Barca style is more or less a marketing stunt, it is something that sells and attracts fans. It attracts more fans when they feel they are loyal to a brand type of football, it separates you from other clubs. But when this...

    Give it a year or two with no Liga titles and people would gladly accept a worse Barca football if it means titles. Same thing happened with RM, they fired Capello because he wasn't entertaining enough. 2 years of Barca Liga dominance and they were all happy to hire Mourinho.

    Quique Setien

    Which is a great thing to do. And let's remember that this is real life, Bartou is the president and Abidal is our sporting director. There is no rebuild, no board will start rebuild in its last year, they will leave it for next term. Our choices is to bring a no name coach to get fired...

    Sergio Busquets

    Who is overrating him? managers? may be. But surely not worldwide Barca fans May be in 17/18 season when Raki & Iniesta carried him and Barca fans were thinking he is our 2nd best player

    Matheus Fernandes

    Played all 90 minutes. IF they rate him and want him on loan next year I won't mind it.

    Sergio Busquets

    One day late, but Happy 32nd birthday to him. He is a club legend and was underrated for long time, his performance falling of a cliff for sometime now doesn't change that.

    Luis Suárez

    This is a myth. This has been the state of the club since Rossell took over, we allow veterans to stay. Xavi & Puyol were actually first generation of de amigos. All stayed till older age than any of our current players btw. Xav has been on obvious decline after 2011 season, 2012 was decent...

    We generated more money than Manu many years before, we are still wealthy club. The 30th of June thing is due to rules unique to few Spanish club (us,RM,Bilbao & Osasona) which will make board accountable for loses done in consecutive years. OTOH Manchester is privately owned We spent more...

    Yup, said it before. Milan actually made retooling from old generation and won Calcio and competed for another year under Allegri, then suddenly sold best 2 players and stopped spending anything on the team.

    tbf Allegri is perfect for this "team" as he is the kind of coach who can win us the league with couple of changes, he is a rich man EV. But he isn't what the "club" need tbh, as we need more rebuilding and youth approach Only problem is language barrier, I know you hate to bring this point...

    Mavericky Puig

    Next season honeymoon will be over and he will be judged with different lens. He will need to work on those passes and its timing if he wants to cement his place as a starter.

    Against Atletico, not so long ago Koeman won't come before Euro 2021.

    Nelson Semedo

    2025 is too long, I would make last year a team option. Also salary is huge question, it needs to be a reasonable one. He isn't a world class player, we should not bend to his demands.Enough of those deals that has the potential to backfire.
