    Ernesto Valverde

    Hmmm, having 8 players from 2.5 years ago isn't a bad thing really. Those players were 23-30 when he arrived so wasn't that old. Right now our starting line up when everyone healthy have Lenglet/Semedo/FDJ/Arthur/Griezmann. That is 5 starters changed in matter of 3 summers. Not really bad...

    Sergio Busquets

    Puyol? He stayed until he -using his own words- found difficulty in daily life activities. Xavi didn't deserve to be starter since end of 2012 season, only left when he was 35 and lost his starting place on permanent basis while getting a huge offer in Qatar. Iniesta, you can make a case for...

    Lautaro Martinez

    -I think we will agree to disagree about the winger and Fati thing. -I am not saying we will replace Alba next summer, butt we might need to look for a replacement in 2021. So we need to already have a Pique replacement in hand before then, instead of having to change half of our defense or...

    Arthur

    It isn't really a proper term. It is a way to make it look like legal thing. For countries that doesn't allow prostitution, they just put it as "escort" and say you just pay for companionship and not for anything. Which is obviously untrue, both know what they are dealing with.

    Lautaro Martinez

    -Fati has been a hybrid no9/LW during his youth career. He isn't that fast for a winger and he really looks more and more like a number with mobility. He isn't a classic modern winger at all IMHO -What do you exactly purpose for Messi and Griezmann to play? I didn't say they play center forward...

    Lautaro Martinez

    I really don't think we should go for a no9, probably not for an attacker either. Griezmann,Messi,Suarez all play inside and non of them are truly a winger who stretch the game for us. All will be here next season. Also, I agree with DonAK that Fati will most likely end up being a no9 not a...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    Potential is the right word for him. I don't think he is anywhere close to the needed level here, but he has the tools -especially physical ones- to be successful.

    Xavi Hernández

    Won his 1st game in Club World Cup. Probably the only games that anyone would watch for him during his career at Qatar

    Thiago Translantara

    It depends on the grans scheme of things. Thiago will be 29 so he will need to be replaced in couple of years and will only be a stop gap here. What are we going in for the market? who is our targets? In general I think we need to get younger and faster. Thiago doesn't fit that. But, if he would...

    6 - Carles Alena

    I used to have high hopes for him, but tbh now I think of him more as better/healthy version of Rafinha. This isn't that bad considering Rafinha was fine squad player whenever healthy. Loan was a success for him, so may be it will be good for Rafinha. At the age of 22 he isn't that young...

    Your choices for valverde replacement

    What? can't find any news about it. Every site seem to list him to have contract till 2022.

    Arthur

    Ronaldinho peak ended when he was 26, CR7 became serious about his dating life around a year and half older than Arthur, before that he was still a workaholic who won't let anything distract him from football, Gabigol failed badly in Europe, JDS failed, Banega is a wasted potential who has never...

    Mavericky Puig

    I generally agree with this. I won't say I am looking to the world in general more positively, but I am no more treating football as make or break for my life or temper. It never stress me out as it once was. Things are easier like that, at the end of the day sports are part of the entertaining...

    Mavericky Puig

    I think it is actually more subjective from your part, I think many of those could have been much better players and at least good rotation player here. Deulofeu and Montoya could have been developed better despite their limitations. And as I said, it isn't just about players being Barca ready...
