    Emerson

    Do we even have any other non-eu in the squad? Fernandes is the only one I am sure off and he ain't staying

    He is quick, but Araujo top speed is something else

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    No need to consider selling him,but we need to get a GK that can compete for him. GKs aren't that expensive anyway

    Joan Laporta

    Just googled the movie, yeah it is about the guy who created that term :D

    Money ball is American phrase from MLB. Basically use heavy scouting and analytics to build a team from bargains. Basically what Leicester and Sevilla does.

    Barcelona has to play money ball, no way around it, at least until you get financial relief. But money ball requires picking everyone right,everyone ready to contribute. Once having that, we will be couple of world class signings frombeing top team. Nit easy, but should be done

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Cillessen was good, but tbf he was still inferior to MATS while being the older GK, hence it didn't make sense to change the situation Alison was most expensive GK ever when bought, first one to break Buffon record in 17 years. I would argue the problem was staying complacent. RM bought Navas...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I don't believe we are too nice. Coaches look for their best interests, if there is viable better alternatives they won't intentionally ignore it. We just need to provide that alternative, and as much as I want to replace MATS, he is still the best we have as GK. Noy buying Pena and Tenas hype...

    Which is irrelevant, bad players needs to be upgraded, otherwise you are shooting yourself in the foot and deciding to continue being mediocre. Garcia could be something, but there is a serious chance he is worse than Pique (past few games he looked worse than Umtiti) and Emerson might be...

    Pique and Roberto are the easiest to remove, Busquets is surely getting another year along with Alba. As Andresito said, the tough job is to adequately replace them, otherwise in 2 years we will be in the market again for replacements Remember when Andre Gomes was replacing Iniesta? Mina was...

    24 - Eric García

    Can he be converted into DM? Like a Marquez/Edmilson did before? It seems like better position to his tools.

    24 - Eric García

    Hmmmm, as it stands now it doesn't look that way. He need huge improvement to be starter here, even over Lenglet

    Antoine Griezmann

    Cerezo told SER: “Possibilities of Joao Felix leaving this summer? None, he has to adapt. The day he takes off, he’ll become one of the most important players in football. The players aren’t machines" Ok, what can AM offer for us to ease our pain?

    Antoine Griezmann

    Mendes biggest 2 young agents are Fati and Felix. One has bad injuries, other in shit situation. It is normal that he has to work extra time to fix his situation. Otherwise his days as top agent might fades away once CR7 retire

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Barcelona have met with the representatives of Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana (25) some weeks ago to gather information about his situation. Onana is currently suspended for 12 months for having breached the anti-doping code. [md] Donak working for md confirmed?

    Óscar Mingueza

    If selling him helps to raise funds for Kounde or someone else, I am all for it.

    24 - Eric García

    That was early in the season. Right now they are over it, defense is rock solid without him and they are worshipping Dias. Some of them even felt bad for him, as they think we played him and now he has no choice but to take whatever we offer since he was vocal about coming back,and can't back...

    24 - Eric García

    City fans seems to really hate him, and the scary part is that it isn't because he is joining us. We could lose time, which is equally bad.

    Emerson

    There is no 50-50. It is just complicated operation of buy rights to cook the books. We pay 12M, he is ours

    Julian Draxler

    This was said about every generation. Draxler ain't world class player, a player like him will have no legacy after retirement, why care about testing himself over collecting money?
