    Rodrigo Moreno

    I used to like him as a player and I don't think he is a bad player at all. But he isn't what we are looking for, bad deal for us.

    raki What is your thought on him?

    Frenkie de Jong

    A wise man once told me that the difference between versatile and tweener is how good you are. If you are really good: you are versatile, if you average at those you are tweener. Thing is, good is relative. You can be good in Villarreal/Sevilla/Atletico but not good enough for Barca. This is...

    IIRC she was 19 (he was 24) so technically a teenager, but not truly what person would expect when someone say he assault and r.aped a teen.

    Alejandro Marqués

    Apparently we have signed the Brazilian guy for 8M (obligatory option in summer) Just some FFP type of bs

    RIP, great player, great character. Reports now that it is 9 people dead, devastating. Was really shacking after the news

    Philippe Coutinho

    Nt comparing them as players, but Hleb was great player who was suddenly shit even after Barca. He himself admitted later he had personal issues and it wasn't football related. Feel same with Coutinho, something is going on with his life for such awful turn around

    Eric Abidal

    I seriously hope he steps up big time in summer. Show some guts and don't go for the next expensive shiny toy again. Abidal signings so far: Arthur & Lenglet: both deals were sealed by Roberto but he made them official. Malcom, flop but we recouped some money. Vidal: Good, cheap move tbf...

    Philippe Coutinho

    They would have never been as strong as they currently are if he stayed. He allowed them to be more dependent on attacking trio and fullbacks in build up but at the same time put aggressive midfield. And then they used his money to fund Alison & Van Dijk. And tbh, I still believe something is...

    Quique Setien

    It is 0.5 +1 +1 contract.

    But, is he costly enough? Lyon might ask for less than 100M. This is a deal breaker for our board

    Quique Setien

    True, just like those gaspart years made the way for Laporta, or how Rijkaard final year made a way for Pep. Life is crazy and unpredictable :lol:

    Quique Setien

    I am not interested in going back to EV discussion but one thing need to be pointed out: Managers are employees, and just like any employee they are asked to do a certain task. I highly doubt EV was asked to rebuild or make team younger, if anything it was clear that winning was top priority...

    Quique Setien

    That was a consistent retooling not a rebuild. The end product is the same and the former is the right way to go when you already have a good team but we are a bit late to it tbh. If we can sell Griezmann for huge sum he then it should be done. But I doubt he is leaving tbh. He will try to...

    Quique Setien

    You are making some good points in your last couple of posts here. But this is a Rijkaard type of rebuild. Pep retooled an elite team but never really had to rebuild it. He added only 2 starters in market in 2008 (Pique and Alves) Rijkaard rebuilt in 2 summers, and through the work in first one...

    Exactly what we need, sign a big name. That has worked greatly for us. ِAnd I guess it will be attacker?

    Alejandro Marqués

    Wasn't his contract over after the season? This seem to be robbery for us

    Carles Perez

    13M mandatory is good deal. But I hope it isn't as mandatory as Rafinha to Inter

    Quique Setien

    The only people who talked about EV in last 2 pages weren't anyone who defended him tbh. I am not sure why you are trying to swing conversation about him. Election is in summer 2021, board will do whatever it takes to prevent the likes of Laporta/Font from taking over. Putting faith in Setien...

    Quique Setien

    In election season? Setien won't have a leeway if he doesn't deliver Liga or CL final.
