    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    If we -as a club -are honest with ourself, we have that super-sub in Suarez. We just lack someone to bench him for good

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Most likely he is the type of player that the right coach would want him out sooner and read the writing in the wall. His style won't fit a coach like Pep for example, he doesn't protect the ball, doesn't keep it tight when dribbling, doesn't have the necessary vision or even ability to pass in...

    The Best FIFA Football Awards 2019

    Why? This isn't a media award like bdor. It is voted by team captains and coaches and there was sort of a pattern in the award since 2010. Coaches and captains would never put VVD over Messi, CR7 was a worthy rival and in some years he benefited from CL winning over Messi (with 2013 as only...

    Xavi Hernández

    Everything is about timing. Getting Xavi when circumstances aren't ready could kill his coaching career before it starts. Right now, it isn't ideal situation for him. The team needs some major retooling/rebuilding. There are so many players has invested so much of his life/career with. Around...

    Carles Perez

    He seriously need to work in his passing. Sometimes I wonder if he looks before he passes.

    Xavi Hernández

    Had a recent interview, very interesting as usual: https://www.ara.cat/esports/Xavi-Hernandez-Barca-tornar-dominar_0_2312168823.html Though some parts I don't like And this from google translate This is why I don't want Xavi here currently. May be 3-5 years from now, but currently we...

    Champions League

    Liga finished with 5 points from this round, 3 of the teams played away. Most likely all 4 teams has faced their -on paper- toughest opponents in the groups. EPL has finished with 4 points, Clacio with 5 and only Bundesliga done better. Liverpool and City looks better than everyone, but the...

    WTF?

    Mavericky Puig

    I think the intention was to sell Rakitic, open things up for Arthur/FDJ starting and Alena getting more minutes. See how Alena reacts and move Vidal out next summer. If Alena is good he stays and if fails he is out. Same for Roberto as midfielder. If he is success he stays in midfield if fails...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Regarding this point, I am a bit skeptical here. The only Barca player who got consistent minutes aged 17 was Bojan (and even him was few months older) and only other teenager that made it to rotation was Messi (and suffered good deal of injuries early on because he couldn't handle the...

    Nelson Semedo

    If anything, he is benefited from low standards from people hating Roberto there and wanting anyone to be better desperately. I never saw anything to suggest that people even comparing him to Alves, for 2 years people gave him all the excuses tbh. This is the 1st year people are finally more...

    Ibrahima Konaté

    Would hate it if we go for Neymar again. I would generally wait before putting a transfer list atm. Plenty of positions could prove to be problematic tbh. CB,RB,CM and even potentially LB depending on Alba performances though unlikely. Also attack could be an area that need strength if we let...

    Ernesto Valverde

    He could have pushed for Coutinho to stay, or let Rafinha stay and play with him and Roberto on wings, or played with 4 midfielder, or played Alena as an attacker. Nevermind he could have gone for other youth players, like Abil Ruiz for example rather than going for Perez and Fati, the later...

    Nelson Semedo

    Good game. I expect him to be one of the more polarizing player this year, hopefully -for our sake- he proves doubters (including me) wrong at the end of the year

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Can get a point that we have been bad in developing talents, but Bojan as an example is just wrong. Club has developed Messi,Pedro,Busquets, Thiago all during his time here. Iniesta couple of years prior. Bojan failure wasn't due to club failure, it is on him and his dad and also due to...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    He moved away before being to Barca B (not sure he even featured in Juvenil A), same with Pique. Last CB who developed through La Masia, to Barca B to 1st team was Puyol (and even him joined us when he was 17). Pique got a lot of his development outside of the club, same for Garcia, Oleguer...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Under UEFA rules any youth player (under certain age, 20 or something, don't remember exactly) don't need to register in order to play

    Mavericky Puig

    Apparently e himself rejected the idea of getting loaned The board tried to sell Rakitic tbh. They didn't get any acceptable offer. And even then, he will have Busquets/Vidal/Alena/FDK/Arthur/Roberto ahead of him
