    Gerard Deulofeu

    At least this part is correct, lmao. Deulofeu is a one-trick pony with no imagination and a turnover machine. People can go on about "Nerman 46 ball losses" or "Di Maria crosses" rightfully, but if they turn around after that to ever say that Deulofeu is good or useful then they are major...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Denis is literally 3 years older, and even then not that great a passer. Dembele's final ball is already proven to be much better than Denis's, as shown in last year's Buli and immediately to Suarez in his debut. Denis hardly ever manages the kinds of final passes that Dembele can produce, only...

    Nelson Semedo

    They were the better team as a whole, but Vidal made our right side so vulnerable and exposed that they attacked him relentlessly and took advantage of his inability to defend and general lack of presence. I think we've underestimated how bad Roberto and Vidal truly are. That hole on the right...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    You've managed to fit a lot of stupidity into one post, which is impressive in its own regard. These two statements take the cake for me though :lol:

    Ivan Rakitić

    No, just because that's what he does doesn't mean that's what his job is. We need midfielders that can do both, and this "Rakitic is hindered because he has to cover for a piss defensive RB" idea is getting quickly disproven. He simply isn't a strong orchestrating presence in his position...

    Nelson Semedo

    It's a shame that EV went full retard and lost us a trophy by insisting on Vidal/Roberto at RB. There were other reasons we lost those games and we have glaring problems elsewhere, but playing Vidal and then Roberto+shitty formation was decisive in screwing us for the Supercup. We would've...

    Paulinho

    I've genuinely been giving him a chance, even wanted to see him start over Rakitic when he was in a terrible spell. But the guy is so strange out there in Barca's system. Literally all he does is receive, turn, and pass to the adjacent man. Maybe do that 3-4 times back to back between the same...

    Agusti Benedito

    Apparently he's now got 4 tents and a team of 100 going around personally collecting soci info. Hopefully the change in approach leads to the boost needed.

    Agusti Benedito

    Congrats! That is very convenient timing, though the shitstorm you're returning to now can't be that appealing :lol:. Hopefully we don't have to suffer through another season of RM success or it might well drive us all insane.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    There's something about his speed. The way he runs makes it look like he's incredibly light on his feet, compared to Suarez for example who almost stomps with every step. Maybe Dembele has hollow bones like a bird :thinking:

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Energy and effort sure, but I thought he had a fair share of very stupid touches/passes. In a less open game that won't work and he doesn't seem to be a player with very many ideas. His presence on the wing did help to open the game up tho, but I believe that's just a result of occupying the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Messi and Ronaldo are proof that a good team is imperative for winning titles, no two ways about it. The great Michael Jordan didn't win his first championship or even play in the NBA finals till the age of 28, when the Bulls finally gave him a team that could support a title run. Lebron James...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Kroos is on another level to Rakitic entirely. Rakitic isn't even a top 20 CM at the moment, nor was he probably ever top 10. The difference between them is like 3 tiers at least and this is even despite me historically liking Rakitic and being periodically critical of Kroos.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Yah he looks to be a very interesting talent, judging by some great highlights and the stats he put up last season as an 18/19 year old in Ligue 1. Many things suggest that he may be a legit gem, I'll watch some Marseille this season to keep an eye on him. The likes of Lopez, Dolberg, and De...

    Agusti Benedito

    I actually think getting the initial signatures is harder. 16000 in a few weeks, the 14000 or so on his website are not a good indicator at all IMO. Do you even need to be a socio or enter any info to sign on the site? Wouldn't be surprised if a large fraction of that comes from random twitter...

    Marco Verratti

    Isco did destroy him. It's not salty or overreaching to say it because it's a fact. The sheer amount of times Isco dribbled past him is incredible, let alone how well it was done. Verratti wasn't helped to a good performance due to the tactics but it's undeniable that Isco owned him. It's not...

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    I didn't say they were unwilling to spend more than 60-70% of the Neymar fee, just that it would end up not happening due to their shit plan and incompetence and that they'd be content with what they've done. And, AFAIK, they are content. Otherwise, they would've dropped Coutinho and done...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I know he does, and that's his personal position on the matter. I also think that, at the time, choosing between Argentina/Spain is pretty much a coin toss as he couldn't have known Spain would go on to win 3 back to back major titles including the WC. I'm not blaming him for that as, with the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Why is Messi obligated to be so passionate about Argentina, but then get slammed for 'not being Maradona' and underappreciated for what he does? Does it not go both ways? Not saying it's the ethical decision to play for Spain, just the right one as far as his legacy is concerned. A player like...
