    Luis Suárez

    list the players who have had more club goals than him over the last TWO years. list the players who did better than 5 goals and 2 assists in their last big time national tournaments. ya'll need to see the big picture. he even had a massive goal in the liverpool tie--one goal in 2 matches is...

    Malcom

    malcom has a long way to go to show he is at the moura and alli level. moura has been on the brazil nt and alli is one of the top prospects in his position and a nt and cl runners up 1st choice player. i also don't think he should be compared to dembele. the latter has way more special gifts...

    Malcom

    Salah is way pacer and trickier than Malcom--not event he same level even when Salah was at Roma. I think Malcom would be better served in France or Serie A--he has ordinary pace and below average physicality for the EPL, and didn't exactly flourish in the La Liga matches he got. Tearing up...

    Arthur

    That is a very defensive. I think the idea of a double pivot with FDJ and Arthur, but then someone should be more advaned than them--like Vidal, Rakitic or Coutinho. Busi should sub in if we have a lead and just need possession and grind opponents out.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Good post, however I think Rakitic and Vidal should be platoon in the advanced midfield spot. Arthur and FDJ deeper. Busi used to spell Arthur or FDJ if we want to get more defensive and work the ball around with a lead. I don't think Roberto and Alena are good enough midfielders to deserve time...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I agree with this. Xavi was a superb sub his last season when he turned 35. Iniesta more inconsistent (I think largely due to injuries) but if I recall still managed a standing O at the Bernabeu despite ripping them to shreds his last match there. An unfortunate consequence of that masterclass...

    Luis Suárez

    Let's see, he kicked ass for Liverpool, he kicked ass for Barca, and he still kicks ass for Uruguay (including 4 goals and 2 assists in the last 9 matches in BIG tournaments over the last 13 months). No doubt Messi helps, but the pedestrian midfield service certainly doesn't. Suarez isn't and...

    Luis Suárez

    Yes the guy #2 in goals in la liga and #2 in overall metrics had trash season, sure he did. If posters want respect they should follow the ups and downs of #9s across european footy before they open their mouths or vomit through their keyboard.

    Junior Firpo

    I would have been fine with Felipe Luis or Nacho Monreal for a 2 year deal to provide cover for Alba and an additional emergency LCB, then seek a permanent solution. Right now I guess Roberto is the cover for left-back, don't really like that.

    Antoine Griezmann

    i agree, use the depth. use the ability to change up the formation. dembele can also be hell for a gassed defense and in more space. for the passing and interchange needed to unlock a tight and fresh defense--i suspect messi, griezmann suarez will be about as good as you get (not just for barca...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Is Griezmann a perfect fit, probably not. Will he offer more than Dembele or Coutinho around Messi and Suarez, I think yes. We he also take some pressure (and accumulation of minutes off of Messi and Suarez), hopeful yes too. Of the two best solutions coming to Barca to help the attack IMO he...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I agree with most everything. However I would be in favor of selling Malcom now because I think he will get no PT and he was a fresh move so we have a good chance to get our last summers fee back, maybe a little more or a little less. He will be behind both Dembele and Coutinho who themselves...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    And only having to perform for maybe 6-10 matches a year to keep the sponsors and club happy from a marketing perspective.

    Malcom

    Gomes loan worked out ideal. It went from it looked like we would have to pay someone to take him after 17-18 to getting a decent fee and his wages off the books. I think the issue is we will want to cash now but otherwise I'd be fine to loan him to a league where he has a good chance of...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I just don't agree with ya'll as Busquets. I mean he has all the world class midfield talent you could want with Spain and his strengths and weaknesses look the same playing with those players as we have seen for Barca for the last many years. In fact last world cup Rakitic looked the much...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Firmino is better than Dybala. I do think Salah and Mane are better, but all three are outstanding and work well together. Firmino hasn't his best healthwise and formwise the last 3rd or so of Liverpool's season. BTW Saurez, Firmino and Jovic are all about the same ht. I don't mind a 1.82...

    Malcom

    At no level has he had a strikers goal scoring record. (in contrast to say somone like Pepe). I don't see him as ST even part time.

    Sergi Roberto

    I hope so, I would like Semedo to grow into a savy and complete RB and move Roberto to the bench. But we need more than what we have seen--I guess it is up to him and the football gods for the next step or two to be taken.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Once KDB went to City there has been no chance for him. Erikssen has a brilliant qualities but Spurs other midfielders do more of the work. He did get a bit overrun every time they played Liverpool just as our midfielders did. I think someone will overpay for him as we did for Coutinho. Fabinho...
