    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    MATS was playing for Germany when we offered Joan a contract, let's not make things up to fit the narrative. His injury came after the NT games.

    Ze Lucas

    You reminded me of this thread. His club finished absolute last in the league, they even allowed him to play in the U17 World Cup because they were already relegated. From what I understand he didn't really impress there. Playing in second division won't raise his value for sure, so I expect a...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Folks had the same attitude about Ter Stegen, but Deco was aware of the situation and fixed it. You may or may not rate the guy, but he isn't that clueless as you make him. He is at least aware of the team issues.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think it is very dependent on his salary. On a decent salary it might be better renewing him for a year and focusing on defense next summer.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Plenty of LB there, no idea if any of them is good enough for a backup role at least. Same with CDM. I wonder if there is someone from those they see as good enough for us. Neves, Kessie could be veteran presence in midfield too. Eric Martel was vaguely linked to us when Flick was announced to...

    Julián Álvarez

    Kane & Halaand, along Mbappe, are a league of their as no9. And one of them is old, with another one being debated on whether he is a CF or not. You can't make those the bar for comparison, it is a very exclusive club atm. He is more in the bracket of Isak, Ekitike, Lautaro & Osimhen of the world.

    Florian Wirtz

    Great skill, but it I think making it own goal was the right decision

    Kylian Muppet

    They brought Doue, Kvara, Neves and Pacho after he left. Add to that the continued development of Vitinha, Barcola and Mendes and extra year of competent coach. They became a team when they finally added 4 World class starters to replace their best players. PSG failed to do that for 7 years...

    Deco

    Considering how toxic Catalan media are, it isn't bad to throw them a bone "interview " every now and then. Annoying for the fans, though

    Florian Wirtz

    Coutinho first half season was great, 16 goal & assist in 22 games. He didn't look like a bust or embarrassing until after the World Cup

    Morant is worse, at least with the other two it is partying and women, an old tale that we all know. Morant is just obsessed with guns and being gangster :rolleyes:

    Basketball/NBA

    Ben was an all NBA team and 3 times All-star and one of the best defenders in the league, probably the best guy to ever guard Luka just by himself. He was scoring 15-17 ppg while having 7+ assists while being elite defender, 4 playoffs appearances including 2 EC semifinals. Zion is 2 times...

    He is the new Ben Simmons, except with partial guarantees he has to pretend he cares.

    Nico Schlotterbeck

    That is the first hurdle for any potential transfer tbf. We managed to convince some and fail with others.

    Nico Schlotterbeck

    There is going to be a domino effect on the market starting with free agents. Liverpool won't be in for Nico if Konate renews and/or Guehi signs for them. Unlikely for Bayern or RM if Upamecano is there, etc. Once dust settles for those many of the potential competitions won't be there. If we...

    Real Madrid

    He is going to Lyon on loan next month. He has talent clearly, but he was always an odd profile. Short and slow striker, that is a profile that we haven't seen succeed at highest level for very long.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    This is what I was thinking, and some reports now is that he wasn't at his best state mentally before the Chelsea game. It seems he had an issue and this game was just the last straw for him, or maybe he realised that he can't contribute while he is at this mental state. I keep going back to...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Not in Egypt though, and surely not Ahly tbf. They have even rejected real offer from Barca before for one of their talents (around 2000, current club president was vice president back then). Mainly because they are stupid enough to think the talent will make it big and they can sell him for...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Folks here (Egypt) liked him in the U-17, I didn't manage to watch him tbh. You never know at this age group, though. He was heavily linked to move to Germany (Stuttgart iirc) even before the tournament, so you can fairly say he has enough talent to go to European youth systems.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Egyptian sources says our interest is real, but it is still "oral" one, no official offer. Ahly understands that players at that age don't cost much but aiming for significant resale percent. (Egyptian clubs has historically demanded insane fees for their talents btw)
