    Gini Wijnaldum

    How did we fuck around ? We agreed deal pending medicals that wasn't granted by NT, Koeman future became certain and suddenly Gini comes with an offer to double salary, how is that on the club? We never agreed terms with Depay either, our offer has been unfair to him from start and he has been...

    Clément Lenglet

    Lenglet signed as 3rd CB in Sevilla and then was one of the first players to take a pay cut to help the club. A coach favourite too, in NT and Sevilla before Barca. Doubt it is about the money, while I think we need upgrade he is simply a genuinely good lad and our only healthy CB. He needs to...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Aguero and Garcia accepted our own terms, Gini and Depay didn't. Club has been dealing with those FA as "our way or the highway " and considering our finances; can you blame them?

    How to approach the rebuild

    Yes, because Koeman at that time tried to fit Coutinho, Messi, Griezmann in 4231 , and all plays better centrally so it didn't make sense to put Fati as 9. In your formation, both Messi and Depay will benefit from a 9 in front of them, both are SS , Depay was once a LW and is right footed, so...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Yeah, from highlights he always seemed like someone who will add necessary physicality to the team, both in strength and effort

    How to approach the rebuild

    Since he started playing football. He has played only 1 year as inside winger before moving to 1st team. And was considered no9 for B team that year. EV preferred to get him as LW because it is easier for young player to adapt on that rather than playing against strong CB. He is very close to a...

    How to approach the rebuild

    In such formation and names, it will be better to get Fati to his original position as 9, and put Depay as LCAM. it will be more of 3421 with Messi and Depay playing behind Fati, put everyone in his natural position.

    Busquets tbf is that guy. Problem is that he is a liability on defensive end and cannot play CM.

    Gianluigi Donnarumma

    Right now there isn't a single club who will give him guaranteed starting spot. Allegri wants to keep Scezny and they might be out of the race. Barca has MATS, PSG has Navas, Chelsea hss Mendy etc

    Xavi Hernández

    Maybe, after all Koeman himself was the "Xavi" candidate in 2003 and it took him 17 years to get the job. For reference, Koeman (a club legend) was widely considered a highly rated coach with Ajax, turned us down after Laporta being elected due to the mess the club was in. That said, Laporta...

    Xavi Hernández

    It isn't a rumour, and maybe an L for those wanted Xavi. But isn't it a bigger L for those who advocated for Font for a whole year? And only left him for Koeman's sake? :p

    Saul Niguez

    Halaand? highly doubt it, he will want huge fees and Bayern won't give it to him

    Xavi Hernández

    Offer for Xavi could be just "an interview offer" which he has declined. Also, reliable source is Catalan iirc, not a source close to BVB or Brazil NT

    Philippe Coutinho

    If Coutinho leaves, it won't be before August. He isn't the primary target of any team, he will need a team that misses on a few targets and then decide to take a gamble on him. Long summer is waiting us.

    Penal Madrid

    Carlo is a good coach tbf,maybe outdated but we have seen before coaches who had a decent comeback when we thought they were finished, Like SAF in 2007 and Ranieri with Leicester. He will be motivated for sure, Liga is the only title in his club resume. If he wins it, he is 1st coach to win...

    Ronald Koeman

    Too much variable atm. I think Griezmann is a key to our mercato, if he is sold for 50M+ and save his massive wages, I expect some key signings. 2 at least who aren't free. If we don't, I think we will play with what we have. Overall, I would expect a QF in CL and Liga. But then again, I...

    Ronald Koeman

    Such rumours alone should put him in the unreliable territory. And smoke? Laporta talked about need to see if coach shares the same vision, which is fair. But how do you think media will use such statement? Option 1: Laporta is doing well, let's go Option 2: Laporta wants certain way of...

    People are discussing a report frim a journalist acting like he is the admin of the WhatsApp group that has the board and coaching staff. SMH.

    Basketball/NBA

    Ainge leaving Celtics, Stevens replacing him and now they are looking for new coach. Ainge might go to the Jazz, still too early to know.
