    Kevin De Bruyne

    Yup, well played tbh

    Erling Haaland

    Xavi was injured and it was good to the team since MVB fit that team better (selling him cost us Liga next year) and while Deco was short he was a very strong player.

    Next Barca President (2021)

    Font is running a decent campaign for sure, but that doesn't always mean he will be good leader for the club. Someone like Laporta doesn't need to prepare for his campaign years in advance unlike Font. Again, I am not saying Font is good or bad, I just think he is unknown, some of his ideas...

    Next Barca President (2021)

    He is a successful businessman, who even if he moves out can make his replacement replace him just like Sandro did. The current rules are just bad, 6 years are way too long and it is almost impossible for one to be removed. This seems like more of wishful thinking tbh. He is new, he isn't the...

    Next Barca President (2021)

    Would like to see who is their side kicks. Laporta was smart enough to have a guy like Crujif beside him to help him in football decisions. This helped him a lot. If he can have someone like that with him I would hope for him to win. Font is basically the new shinny toy that people loves, the...

    Quique Setien

    Malcom was an awful purchase from the start, blame goes to Abidal who deal with the market as an opportunity rather than a sport project and team needs. He has 2 qualities, speed and off-ball movement. If he was clinical he would have been great in Pedro type of role but his finishing is...

    Erling Haaland

    Height is an important factor in football. You can't totally ignore it, even Pep's team had many tall players and many of his signings here were taller guys. It is too simplistic to either totally ignore it or judge players only based on it.

    Kai Havertz

    I like that too, but Van der Vaart was like that, same with Cesc iirc and they didn't end up good in Spain.

    Frenkie de Jong

    This will work if you have a full functional Starting XI in all positions, players who aren't only elite but also complete. That is really difficult and there is always someone we will have to adapt to his limitations. For example, Semedo would be a disaster in such line up. Roberto is better...

    Quique Setien

    1st half in Anfield was the best half from us in that tie, we should have come winners from it but we came with 1 goal behind. 2nd half was our worst in any CL tie since 2013 at least. We didn't go to just defend, and our attack failed us big time early on. Defense collapse in goals was...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Tbf, he has used to play CB many times with Ajax, so I think adapting defensively should happen. Though it is still questionable if we get best of him there or what we need beside him. we might need more of a Vidal type of b2b beside him rather than a Kante. Both options worth exploring. Though...

    Fair enough

    Lautaro Martinez

    Who was top 5 players in the world at that time.

    Lautaro Martinez

    I will add that him not being good playing with his back to the goal is another red flag. And those are 3 massive issues. 1-We need more goal scoring from our team, he doesn't solve a problem. 2-His lack of ability to play with back to goal means less goals for teammates, this is area where...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    We lose ton of players on yearly basis, rarely any of them became anything special. We also sign many top prospects, and again rarely any of them become anything special. Last truly big name player we lost was Icardi, and he would never have developed same way if he stayed. After that it was...

    Matheus Fernandes

    You have to factor that preseason will most likely be cut short by all leagues. This will limit the time and chance for young players significantly. It will be more about getting older players rather than making experiments and trying young players.

    Caglar Soyuncu

    The only quote I can find is his agent saying we were interested in him when he was at Altinordu, but he prefered Freiburg to get playing time. So he thinks it is very possible we could renew our interest. I see it as agent inviting us to go for him, not that we are interested. Remember his...

    He wasn't good enough for either us or Bayern. Failing in Germany hurts his value a lot.

    Sergiño Dest

    Semedo is on the market regardless of other deals. He has 2 years left on contract, so basically this is the last year for us to get fair deal for him. Next year we sell him on discount and another season we lose him for free. Contract renewal was put on hold and it seems both parties aren't...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Coutinho value in the market is really really bad. Unlike Soyuncu who is the highest value young (relatively speaking) CB in the market. They would want a Maguire type of deal for him.
