    6 - Carles Alena

    Alena is good enough to train as part of the squad and can play in a pinch. See no reason why you would not want him as part of our 20 something UCL squad, is Spanish and locally trained and he has shown enough that he can be played. I doubt he will ever be world class but you need a squad, and...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    all the great managers will tell you cup formats are prime for upsets. it is the very nature cup competition in a sport ever dog can have their day. the (current) players and managers have a much better grasp on this than fans. how do you think Real brass and fans feel with some truly zero...

    Kylian Muppet

    hum, i am not sure real has a young midfielder as good as either FDJ or arthur. Real is long way from having a future like city or liverpool and next year they wont be as good as those 2 or us. they are not the chief obstacle right now to our ambitious but as best we can tell still a hot mess.

    how many league titles where luck evens out and the best team wins almost every time? how did they do lat year, when did barca have an o-fer, trophyless, season?

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    well no matter what happens to them the at times insufferable whining and crying here will continue by a sizable group here. we will come off a treble and it will be not pretty enough football to some and too much walking for others. at least those guys have some competitive spirit and dont just...

    Ricardo Rodríguez

    I say Felipe Luis, more of "the Arturo Vidal of left backs" than a Boateng. Keep getting left back prospects for Barca B or loan out, sure--but they won't see real playing time for a while anyway. Get a vet who can come in and fight and play at a high level for spurts if you need him too.

    Adrien Rabiot

    My personal opinion is PSG has a better chance at CL glory, but both are shoe ins for league titles. Spurs also play better football than Juv. Not a bigger club, but a better squad and much better manager IMO. I would have liked to see both Busi and Rakitic go with De Jong and Rabiot coming in...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Wait, how is our trophy hall for 12, 5, 2 years, even LAST year compared to Real's? They have spent more and have less to show for it. They have hangers on at big salaries they can't get rid of, overwhelming concentration of dough/talent on one side of the field, and their best players are past...

    Ricardo Rodríguez

    I'll take Felipe Luis on a free. Is a hardened, fire tested, dude and can cover for other positions to.

    André Gomes

    Yep, good reading of it. However I am not sure you really underpaid for Gomes--that will take years to sort out. I am just glad he isn't a matter for us to deal with. We also have a nice player named Denis for you, 15 and he is yours.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    The nature of a cup competition, who the heck knows and luck almost invariable prevails. It isn't like the other team scored in regular time the 3 recent finals Argentina lost, and 2 were in shoot outs. And Messi has been good from the spot in many do or die situations--everyone seems to just...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Well this line got my attention, "Getting more and more spoiled, entitled and corrupt" I thought it was spot on if about a lot of "Barca" fans. Stop with these sense making posts, please.

    A leader too. That is the thing about teams sports guys can lead with very few words needed.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    athletes can be dumber than a stick but have great intelligence and instincts on the pitch/court/field. performers can also appear very extroverted and commanding but it reality very shy, reserved and quiet. i would not try to make much of an inference about tyese things from whatever we get...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I watched later and was expecting much wose player and much less effort from what was said here. He wasn't inspirational but was whipping in corners and trying to cover a person when Venezuela had it The match wasn't a horror show by Messi by any stretch of the imagination.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    AG is tremendously versatile and smart. I think he can be the one primarily adapting to others around him. Unexpected is what you need some times, and you have very talented players adding different challenges for opponents to contain. Barca last year some times altered as you had Coutinho vs...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    It is a huge risk if you sign for City, Liverpool, Barca or Real. City has crazy depth/talent--they get 60 mil guys on the bench competing for your spot. Klopp demands ultimate commitment and they are deep too--MDL might never play if he went there. Real tosses you like a used sofa if you don't...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Malcom in no way looks world class. He is relatively young and could get better--but he is not close to someone I would bank on. "Why not just play Messi as a slightly withdrawn central striker flanked by Dembele and Malcom ?" Replace Griezmann for Malcom and then that is more intriguing...
