    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Recently I had this thing, looking for 1st page in some of our players/coaches thread. And I mean damn, MATS had bright future indeed and he was correct. But he basically described some things that he literally became the opposite. Amazing how times change PS: nothing against kaddel11 btw.

    Ronald Koeman

    If we are being honest with ourselves, Barca DNA is mainly about a marketing strategy for the club that was widely used under Rosell management too. It is a successful one tbf but it is backfiring. Barca has been all about attacking football more than anything. You can argue Koeman fits the...

    Ronald Koeman

    It is weird. The club is supposed to be "politically " left , a progressive and more revolting one. But it is acting like extreme right wing at times. La Masia players are preferred just for sake of it, coaches who only connected to the club will be hired etc. Fans are like that too, the La...

    Ronald Koeman

    What? I mean look at our hiring since Laporta took over in 2003: Rijkaard: A guy who has lead Sparta to their first ever relegation. Pep: 4th division Barca B coach. Tito: assistant coach in his whole career. Tata: never been to Europe before Barca, and likely after Barca too. Lucho: Failed...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Yeah, people keep the amigos/friends theory, but Messi was always too compete for thus shir. He has seen all his buddies leaving over the years and didn't blink. He understands the game and the business

    8 - Pedri

    Is Pedri really slow for a midfielder? I really don't see it this way at all tbh.

    Champions League

    Yeah, Lahoz is neutral referee who just can be attention whore at times

    Ronald Koeman

    Yeah, doesn't seem real for those who watched Barca past 2 decades, but historically we once had strong ties with British football

    Ronald Koeman

    Why would he do that? Like seriously. If you are his agent, would you recommend him doing that? Making him risk his reputation when he kniws he will get Barca job one way or another? And tbf, the likes of Xavi and Pep before him work the best when they have one of the top squads in their...

    Sure he does. Like every 18 years old out there need to develop half of their games.

    Good news.

    Should Koeman continue next season?

    For me, Koeman is like LVG/Antic of 03/04 season, with a better end result. The work that was done in that year eased the job of Rijkaard IMO. We can argue it is better to get a "Rijkaard" next year to the rebuild rather than wait. The way I think about it, we are at different times, and...

    Joan Laporta

    That is very good approach tbh

    Should Koeman continue next season?

    It depends on what we see the club aiming for next year. In all honesty, Koeman has actually surpassed my expectation for this season, and he has done some nice job with the youth. That being said, he is a mediocre coach, good enough for the Ajax and PSV, maybe the Southampton and surely good NT...

    Joan Laporta

    I will never confuse raed since he always write a small sentence in 3 lines, which is very weird. raed hates on every player and coach, barcilliant hates current situation, and then predicts a worse outcome in the near future, and the start hating on this future situation. It is confusing for...

    Xavi Hernández

    Pique,Busquets, Coutinho, Griezmann are all recognisable names across the globe, to one extent or another. Doesn't mean they should be all untouchables, but some players with commercial value will remain.

    Joan Laporta

    Have you ever expected anything that is not awful? Like seriously I don't remember a couple of positive posts for you in my 9 years here. The market will open in 6 weeks, and yet people are putting blame for the president who was elected 2 months ago who has been busy trying to figure the club...

    24 - Eric García

    Total agreement reached between Barcelona and Eric Garc?a. The centre-back will sign his contract in the coming weeks and will be the first signing under President Laporta. [goal]

    Houssem Aouar

    Sorry, it is 3 assists, lol. Wrote it 4 (transfermarket) but decided to double check in whoscored and it is 3, the 4 wasn't deleted I see :lol:

    Andrés Iniesta

    tbh Alves himself was shit at the end of his tenure when we were playing 4312 with Messi basically playing 2nd striker rather than RW, exposing the whole right side. Roberto actually was more than solid when Paulinho played at his side and covered for him in 17/18. I honestly don't think Alves...
