    Jean-Clair Todibo

    You are assuming it was EV word and that it wasn't what the club actually believed. Abidal is the one who played huge role in sacking EV, didn't bring many player he requested and he is the one who choose Setien. In addition he hand picked Todibo. It seems far fetched for me he loaned him...

    Mavericky Puig

    Again, huge part of that was due to injury he had. He played some decent games for young prospect in Liga. I think he is better talent than Puig but his game was outdated especially for Barca. He was playing like an old version of Pirlo which had no place in a club like Barca anymore. Puig...

    Quique Setien

    I can see it working if we are using another 2 FBs and only 2 strikers. So 352/532 type of formation. Pique/Lenglet Semedo with Alba & Roberto on the flanks, 3 midfielders along Griezmann & Messi in attack. This was my expectations of his 352 tbh, and despite never liking the guy I thought it...

    Mavericky Puig

    It is because those önline scouts"probably watch only 1 team. Whoever stand out for them they think he is the real deal. When he is just facing players of certain age group in one country, for Barca he will to face the best players worldwide from those who were standouts of 15 different age...

    Mavericky Puig

    That is Alba ;) Samper is in Japan after injuries and loans in Liga. He did well in Segunda tbh. I was the first to say Samper won't make it here, but he had the talent to make it to Liga IMHO

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    IIRC Mariano Díaz to RM second time was that way. He was joining another club -Sevilla but not 100% sure- and RM exercised their option.

    Philippe Coutinho

    He played really well under Brendan Rodgers too.

    Alejandro Marqués

    He is a striker. 1.88 CM tall, scoring ton of goals and plays CF or SS in games.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Any news about Karim Adeyemi? We were interested in him. I think he is the one to get for attack tbh

    Yan Couto

    He can't play in Europe before June when he completes 18. AFAIK he doesn't hold an EU citizen I would prefer a year with Barca B and another on loan before counting on him for 1st team tbh.

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    Their record signing was 20M + incentives for Breel Embolo who was an exciting attacker back then. They are very unlikely to buy Todibo anyway unless he proves to an absolute bargain. He will need to have the kind of imposing presence in order to get that kind of money. I think those buy...

    Quique Setien

    He won CL for first time in 32 years for Real Madrid, won 2 Bundesliga titles for Bayern. There no comparison at all

    Quique Setien

    We were shit and that was expected, I talked about it after transfer windows. We don't have individuals to build an average defense anymore. EV could not fix it, and Setien is even worse IMHO, far worse. EV at least had the brain to drag the team to defend against RM when he failed to control...

    Quique Setien

    I think he is huge downgrade from EV, his biggest weakness iws how he set up defense which would be huge flaw here. I don't think he is good tactically either. Anyway, if he is coming I hope I am wrong I wish him nothing but luck.

    Xavi Hernández

    Apparently told his club he is staying till the end of the season. https://twitter.com/khaledwaleed99/status/1216328575604809731?s=12

    Xavi Hernández

    Wrong. You are talking from your own expectations mate. Xavi has been hyped over a decade as next Pep. Team expectations are still high. Realistic fans are the rarest, and surely Camp Nou fans has proven to be of different type than internet forums. And through years we have known who matters...

    Victor Font

    I remember when people here thought that club legends will support him and help him to win elections. Now, Puyol worked with Barto's board, Abidal is sporting director, VV was Juvenile A coach and now Xavi is gonna be first team coach. Any of those speaking will have little impact. People...

    Xavi Hernández

    Then get him for next season. Xavi will get midway in the season, with unrealistic philosophy that made his defense shit. Now he will have to deal with shit defense, midway in the season (while we are still top of the league) with expectations of winning abd being next Pep. He won't have...

    Louie Barry

    Hmmm, can't see this way with your examples. Todibo was signed for 1st team, he will leave after full year with it, and only with loan. There is a clear believe he can make it here. Mina? We scouted him since he was in Colombia and once he got in Brazil we got our option for him. 12M for him...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    Is he versatile or a tweener? because we brought players like Arda/Coutinho/Denis among others thinking they are versatile and they turned out tweeners.
