    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Depends on your definition of big. EPL transfer window ends on 8th of August. So if we are hoping to sell someone there we have less than 2 weeks to do so. Tik tok OTOH we might be including players in deal for Neymar if it ever happens. But there is probably no other team outside of PSG & EPL...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Watched his highlights from Kobe game, seems decent. His profile is similar to Todibo, if one of them managed to be at least a 3rd CB, it will be great success. Who knows, may be both manage to do it

    6 - Carles Alena

    U-21 means that a certain coach doesn't rate him at a particular moment of time. That what it means. Players shouldn't be judged by a coach selection, may be if many coaches ignores him we can take something from it. But Alena featured in all other age groups And just for the record, Alena is...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I think he will still be an option for CB, probably as 4th/5th option when needed. Sort of like Song/Adriano/Digne/Motta who all played a game or two at that position when we had injury crisis. But obviously, he shouldn't play there if we have 2 healthy CB

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Sadly, he was injured.

    Malcom

    Until he improves his finishing he won't be one of the best players in any league. And if he does, he can be a helpful player anywhere, even here. This is a skill that will be a make or break for him

    Ludovit Reis

    Why didn't he join our pre-season tour?

    There is few members from there IIRC, think Razor from there? not 100% sure. I think you have a better chance for response there

    6 - Carles Alena

    Players has complained a lot about jersey numbers before, especially when they officially have it (and not just a pre-season number) Many players take it personally, Gallas once mentioned that Ballack taking his number without his permission was huge deal for him. It matters and Alena has every...

    Ivan Rakitić

    How is that a difference between most members here? People on this forum have been expecting us to be the next Milan for over half decade now.

    Neymar Jr.

    Apparently it is an old interview https://globoesporte.globo.com/programas/esporte-espetacular/noticia/neymar-diz-que-qualquer-jogador-gostaria-de-vestir-a-camisa-do-real-mas-garante-foco-no-psg.ghtml

    Ivan Rakitić

    If we accept that FDJ & Arthur are our 2 starter, what do we want from our 3rd midfielder? Those 2 are great in ball retention, great in bringing the ball from defense -especially FDJ- and we are hopeful that they can get their final pass to break defense. They still lack that offensive...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    What mistake? Todibo is 4th/5th option CB. If Umtiti is healthy (which seems to be something we are betting onto) we have 3 very good CBs. MDL is good, but his fit is questionable and he has an agent with broken relation with the club. There is even rumors he wanted Juve for sometime, he cost...

    Xavi Simons

    Nope, one of the most hyped when he was kid though. Club made a clear choice when they renewed Ilaix Moriba for what he wanted, such things don't happen often and it is usually a rare exception. I think it is clear who they valued more. Like way more Do you think a 16 years old kid really...

    Junior Firpo

    tbh barca full back seems more of a midfielder/winger anyway. Alba was a winger converted to LB, Roberto was a midfielder converted to RB, Semedo & Digne was supposed to be attacking fullbacks who earn their spot based on offense not their defense and here it was the opposite. Even when Alves...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Let's take a step back here This is what I said It was a respond to this How many times we got more than 1-0 wins against an 11 man team in a knock out? How many times we didn't play our game in away games? That goes up to Chelsea game in 2005, Old Trafford game in 2008, Pep against Chelsea...

    Ernesto Valverde

    You keep taking the discussion away from what it really is. You are the one who is making those comparison not me, then blaming me for it :banghead: You are making it Pep vs EV which isn't, if you are gonna keep it this way then I am not sure there is any point of continuing it. Pep struggled...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Taking our chance and players failed him. Like seriously? I mean if somebody dared to say that here about EV, lol. I mean this is what actually started the conversation, Players failed EV. People say he is responsible and it isn't on the players, someone put the away game on him. We state it...

    Ernesto Valverde

    I've watched every game of them, and I find it surprising you think we weren't bad in away game. We were good (sometimes very good team) in away games at best. At home we were elite, we were best team in history. We were 2 totally different teams back then. One home and one away. That is from...
