    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Because he is the poster man of the main reason for all our troubles: passing up on great players to sign "squad players" that were never good enough to play for us to begin with. Think how much better our team would be if we had spent nearly 70 million wisely instead of signing 30 year old...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    THIS. Mathieu's pricetag wasn't that of a 30 year old backup who's "solid" status, as expected, only lasted 18 months.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Good squad player? His best season with us was average at best. Lucas Vazquez, Rafinha, Varane, Sergi roberto. Those are good squad players. Mathieu was a waste of money.

    Mangala's 26. He still has 5-6 years ahead of him to change things up and actually live up to that price tag. Where's Mathieu now? Oh yeah, that's right, he left for free 3 YEARS after we signed him, great Squad player!

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Here's some perspective: - PSG paid for Marquinhos exctly the same amount of money we paid for Mathieu + Vermaleen - Mathieu + Vermaleen costed 6 million euros less than PSG paid for Thiago Silva - Mathieu + Vermaleen costed 2 million less than Bayern paid for hummels - Mathieu + Vermaleen...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    The board still hasn't given up on Coutinho and Di Maria and apparently PSG are willing to negotiate. At this point, if we manage to sign Di Maria for less than 40 mil (our latest offer was 30 mil) i'd take it as a consolatory win

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Same thing happened to Zubizarreta 3 years ago when we were punished for allegedly breaking rules when it comes to signing underage players.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    How can you be positive when the board are clearly taking shots in the dark with zero planning: they got rid of a potential substitute for Busquets (Samper) but decided keeping Vermaleen was a good idea, they turned down offers for Andre gomez and Arda at the start of the summer and are now...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Samper and marlon gone but 33 year old Mascherano and 31 year old Vermaleen can stay? I really don't get the reasoning behind some of the decisions this board is making

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    That's the only way Coutinho makes sense to me cause we're going to waste Coutinho's abilities if we're going to make him play CM

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I've been following Barcelona for close to 20 years so lecturing (and insulting) me for expecting the team to deliver more than Gaspart-level results is frankly petty and juvenile. The board is responsable for our current situation, so no, i don't have to support them on blind, stupid faith.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    You know who also played for teams like malaga? Isco, Asencio, Verratti hell, even Pique signed for us after his first full season in a professional team was with Zaragoza. Were they a product of advertising too?

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We only managed to win the copa last year, and that was with Neymar and everyone being 1 year younger. Without Neymar, With Iniesta being too old to be a 90 minute starter, with rivals getting stronger, with the board canceling closed deals like with Iñigo and Seri for "reasons", with most of...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Why would we pay 70 million for Alexis after selling him for almost half that money 3 years ago?

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We have ruled out Seri (26) and are now willing to pay 50 million for Di Maria (29). At this point, I hope we don't sign anyone. Save the money for when Laporta/Benedicto take over and call up our best youngsters to the first team. With the team we have, we should have no problem securing a...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We should just drop our interest on Coutinho and activate other options. The transfer widow is quickly coming to a close, the longer we wait, the harder and more expensive "Plan B" will get

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I've lost all faith on this season and on the possibility of spending Neymar's money wisely. Just yesterday Juve signed Mataudi for half the money we payed for Paulinho while the person in charge of signing new players (Roberto Fernandez) essentially says we signed him to fulfill the same role...

    Spanish SuperCopa: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona (5-1)

    How many of real madrid's regular "bench players" would be part of our starting 11? Isco/bale, Asensio, Kovacic maybe even Theo and Ceballos. How many of our starters would also start with Real Madrid? Messi, Suarez and MAYBE Pique? Real Madrid are playing without Cristiano, Isco, Casemiro...
