    Warriors broke their regular season record last year. They already have broken the pre-existing postseason record this year with 15 wins and no losses, with 1 more game against a demoralized Cavs team to go 16-0 in the playoffs which has never even been dreamt of in the NBA. It's even more...

    Jean Michaël Seri

    For what it's worth, new rumors say PSG have switched focus from Seri to Fabinho. However I don't really believe rumors on Saturdays/Sundays because I doubt anything actually happens and most of the time it turns out to be smoke, which is a silver lining for these more recent Bellerin rumors.

    Juventus

    They had it right in the first half. For the most part they didn't break down, Ronaldo's goal being an anomaly in the play tbh. 2nd half, they were overwhelmed from the first minute. Poor alterations by Allegri.

    Champions League 2016/17

    Zidane didn't risk it all for Bale, started Isco... Unfortunate.. I hope Juve can shut him down.

    Jean Michaël Seri

    AS Roma are in for him too, not that I expect they'll really compete for his signature. Just an added assurance of Seri's potential as a low profile-high reward transfer if he's garnered the interest of someone like Monchi who has played the market better maybe than anyone in recent years.

    Marco Verratti

    Good point and all, except Verratti has never played for Juve. Think before typing?

    Champions League 2016/17

    It's not that. It's the potentially huge disappointment of watching them win it that they want to avoid, which I understand. I can't miss the game just because I'm that interested but I too badly don't want to see them win it.

    Nelson Semedo

    If it ends up being 50 million flat (which tbh I think is unlikely, Barca usually do incentives) then the price is unfortunate. However, I still firmly believe that 50m for Semedo is far better than the alternatives of a similar price for Bellerin or slightly less for an aging Azpilicueta who...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Quotes could be taken out of context or lost in translation. Regardless I don't think Valverde will be even remotely set on anything tactically before he trains with the squad. He's expected to answer questions like these in his first presser but the statements can't and don't mean much until he...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    I would prefer Vidal in that role tbh. He's very intent on having a role and fighting for a starting spot, but much like Roberto he can have a fairly important role even without being an outright staple in a certain position. He could accumulate a lot of minutes over the season being the backup...

    Jean Michaël Seri

    That'd be unfortunate and a potentially poor decision. I haven't seen any other player of that sort of profile (which we need) linked to Barca. The Naby Keita link to Liverpool has died down a lot, not as much momentum as a few weeks ago. Barca have a chance to hijack that since Keita is also a...

    Jean Michaël Seri

    Everything I read suggests PSG's interest is much more established than Barca's, so unless Barca step it up and move forward within the next week I could see PSG landing him tbh. It'd be ridiculous to lose him once he already announced his preference, nothing short of bad business. I hope that...

    Nelson Semedo

    He defended Bellerin in his thread IIRC, saying the alternative of Semedo is bad because Mendes/Portuguese league and all that. Again, my stance is that you simply can't count a player out because of the league they play in, especially when they seem to pass almost every other qualification with...

    Skip Bayless is one of the most unapologetic haters I've ever seen :lol:

    Nelson Semedo

    Danilo rarely actually ever impressed me from the Porto games I watched and the supposedly amazing highlights he was supposed to have. Didn't stand out technically or seem that intelligent. Just running, thumping in crosses, etc. Not even seemingly compatible with Barca's style of play. Semedo...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Wonder how the difference in temperament between Valverde and Lucho will play out with the team. Lucho was always fairly intense. Combative with the media, maybe even sometimes with the players. It was good for incentivizing the team and motivating them when we were down, though he was almost...

    Nelson Semedo

    A Bola and Record, both Lisbon based newspapers, have reported that we're pushing for him now. I pray we get him. Benfica rate him as one of, if not the best players of their successful season. Looks fantastic going forward, read that he has 12 assists this season in all comps as a RB along with...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I was curious so I watched all of Leo's goals this season and even he managed to surprise me. Out of Messi's 54 goals this season, 14 came from outside the box. That's roughly 26%, as in more than 1 out of every 4 goals that Leo scored was from outside the area. To be by far the highest volume...

    Gerard Piqué

    Some of the shit I read on this forum is truly ridiculous :lol:

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Hope this wasn't goodbye, deserved better than this. At least he can celebrate, the trophy was won for him as much as any of the others.
