    Arthur

    I think our Classios and match with Atleti in league and CDR are on par with CL intensity and CL opponent quality. Madrid poored everything in those CDR matches this year because that was all they had left, Arthur was terrific against world class midfielders playing their hardest. I do think the...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    That's interesting that it would save that much on the original deal, i thought he and club hit many of the extras. But it we can get 80 and it keeps what we payed to 135, do it. Some times you lose money on deals, some times you make it, part of doing business. Lenglet and Arthur are worth far...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    While having a big fat zero for accomplishments this year and getting knocked out by a Dutch side? How many titles do they have the last decade? I wouldn't trade the recent history, next's year outlook or intermediate future with theirs.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    CL pretty always needs a little luck Look at it nest year. let's say each front runner, City, Liverpool and Barca, have at best 25%. That would leave 25% for all the rest--Spurs, Madrid, Juv, PSG, Bayern. I still think Barca is a co-favorite, but there will be 2 other great teams and a few...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I think ya'll are mostly spot on. However I don't think Busi and Rakitic are shit, look at the trophy haul the last many years, but they are part of a the problem where we have been overrun in the midfield (as well as Sergi, other players recent years). Busi is on a higher wage--I really think...

    Harry Kane

    Id like kane at barca. Wow these spurs have been lucky. They have lost far more matches than they have won lately, not really good form at all. Even lost a home and away CL matches, but late drama and the away goal rule saved them. I think their luck runs out in the final.

    Eden Hazard

    Hazard can be brilliant but can also be a ball stopper, is a little bit finicky in his effort, and doesn't work much in defense. Would be a modest improvement from coutinho without really working to our strengths or helping with our weaknesses.

    Luka Jović

    Well if Jovic is planning to come to Spain one way the other should he not he be planning to learn Spanish, if he doesn't know some already.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I think shipping off Coutinho for Griezmann and keeping Suarez is a better idea. Then you have Messi + Griezmann + rotating Suarez or Dembele pending form and fitness. I like those 4 to cover the 3 forward spots in all the key matches.

    Antoine Griezmann

    He is one of my top choices. Right now I see him, Jovic, Son and Kane as forwards most likely of immediate impact next year.

    Luka Jović

    It is not announced and I think Frankfurt denied it, so I say have Messi call him (assuming they have a common language) and hijack it. Dude, he could play with Messi and in Barcelona or in a project and nowhere near the sea, what better pitch could that be.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Pretty much agree. And how do people not remember 24 months ago when Real got the league and CL and bombed us int he Supercup. We have come a long way. But in truth we are not "built" around Messi, nor has Argentina been built that way. If it were you would have managers with a good feel for...

    Luis Suárez

    Yes He was playing so we could go for a treble because we had no other player capable of playing CF. I thought it was common knowledge he was playing on regularly treated knees and he would get surgery after the season. I don't blame Luis, but please get Jovic, Griezmann, Son or Kane so we...

    Sergio Busquets

    I'll agree to disagree, I think he is every bit as much as the problem in theses collapses where our midfield gets bossed.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Their players played with far more passion and energy over the 180 minutes, they played more cohesively, and their manager but not Barca's made key and timely adjustments/subs, and coached with incredible detail. On the one hand this was a story seen across the last 4 managers--so that could...

    Ivan Rakitić

    If you would say this about busi, roberto and many others sharing blame, though none as catastrophic as alba, your point would be just fine.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Pep has spent years and unlimited budget to construct the team he wants, which is the best and deepest in Europe. He isn't leaving to rebuild. Who do you suggest that are realistic? That takes off Pep, Klopp & Zidane--anyone else is conceivable but not those 3.

    Nelson Semedo

    Got one more name, Simeone. I think he would adapt be be more attacking with Barca talent and budget to work with, just like Klopp has kept developing and modified his tactics as he has gotten more and more talent. You know his guys will be conditioned and give 100%. Barring the @Juv match he is...

    Sergi Roberto

    One and only one reason. Alba CLEARLY had the worst night of players in the Barca shirt, it isn't even close despite what one writing trying to make a name and be contratarian said on SPORT.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Well I guess he caught the same virus. Rakitic did have a peach of a lobbing flick to Messi that was one of our best 2nd scoring opps. The too short pass to Semedo and the slip were ugly though, for sure. Playing him with Busi and Sergi and Couts and Suarez--all compounds our pace problem. Many...
