    Luka Jović

    Reports in England (sky/bbc) are that City is sniffing around Jovic. Whether that is to jack our price up or it is of sincere interest (think he has more of a future for them than Jesus?), I don't know

    Jordi Alba

    Very good point. Particularly if wages are not crazy. I am sure there has to be some negotiation--highest average monthly wages for a 3 year deal, bit less for 4, bit less for 5. That is just being a little realistic and pragmatic ,and Jordi and his agent can decide the option they want.

    Luis Suárez

    For our sake I hope Uruguay exits the Copa America early. However I just can't rout for a Messi led Argentina to do poor, even if it is better for Barca. Just can't swallow that one, hope he wins it even if it adds some fatigue into the 1st part of next year's season.

    Luis Suárez

    No EV is not on top of this, and not just for Suarez. My biggest pet peeve about him to date is the heavy minutes to the vets.

    Luis Suárez

    The knee issues are chronic. He played well AND STILL asked to be subbed off for his knee. This is not complicated connection of dots here, heavier match and minute load, the worse it gets. Not going to change for sure until the end of the season. Whether surgery and 6 weeks out or so is a...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Going to be well over his head as he looks for a couple lines of words, taken out of context and without sarcasm in mind, to string together some weak point he/she thinks undermines another. Offers nothing original or evidence supported on his own so this is the only tactic she/he knows.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Since you have trouble watching the matches with the slightest bit of fairness and objectivity why don't you try looking at some overall metrics of performance. Why don't you challenge yourself a bit, see if you opinions and observations match the best objective data we have. Try whoscores, try...

    Luis Suárez

    I agree we need a new striker. He is 32 and has bad knees. Also I think the less regular shifts he has to do the better his shifts can be when we might really need. Give him and average of half of every league match off from here on out. Next year (Jovic?Pepe?) we can have some real day in and...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Less than you in my opinion, I try to be open to all the players that try hard in the Barca shirt and will even adjust opinions based on play. I rarely scapegoat single players for being critical problems with the team because our ups and downs as a TEAM are usually much more complicated. Are...

    Luis Suárez

    But why would you start at 2016, seems arbitrary, considering his two best years in the CL were right before. That would be called cherry picking your data. Why not also tally assists? Wait I just did that using the years you picked, here is the tally, Firmino 7 Suarez 7, Griezmann 6, Aguero 5...

    Luis Suárez

    And they will bring up rakitic in a suarez thread. Suarez has been awesome, rakitic outstanding. Both do there jobs the best the can and barca was fortunate to sign them. And they didn' ask to leave with some good years--e.g., neymar, pedro. What more do you need to appreciate your teams...

    Sergi Roberto

    Not ideal to start bob he is a great player to have the bench or have cover for injuries in multiple positions. Bob imo is better on a wing than more central, not world class processing and reading of the whole field so i think does better with a narrower focus. Also remember he played really...

    Copa | Semi Final: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-4 agg.

    Guess want, MATS is our keeper, that isn't changing. And 3/4 defenders outplayed their counterparts. We played the best midfield in the world with a makeshift midfield (as Bob is like our 5th choice), most motivated Real team in a long time, and off a tremendously exhausting schedule with a...

    Nelson Semedo

    Fair and accurate. He played overconfident and was consistent toasted by a 19 year old. Not saying bench him, but it was obvious. I expect him to be better in the Classico saturday and play with more measure and respect to his opponent. He is still learning how to play in the biggest matches of...

    Luis Suárez

    It is such a nonsense argument. CL matches are football matches--just like the league, just like the cup. The main difference is the ones that really matter are March-April-May (sometimes 1st week of June) and there are just a few of them each year, so some bad breaks and your out and almost...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Joan, BBZ and some others, just got to laugh at some of absurdity and the wicked colored glasses these folks watch Barca matches with, if they even watch at all. We played THE BEST midfield in the world, in a match in their place, in a match that is their last realistic chance at a trophy...

    Luis Suárez

    El Pistolero!!! I do hope he gets a rest for a half this weekend and the whole match next weekend. We need to conserve is butt for the 5-6 matches that will be the difference between an outstanding season and another Barca historic season. I do believe only Barca has done a treble that includes...
