    Athletic Club

    Really feeling tense about this. The team need to be at their best and dominate with the San Mames roaring behind them now more than ever. We will need Aduriz to continue his heroics but Susaeta/Muniain to give dynamic transition forward as well. Muniain did well vs Barca but Susaeta had an...

    Munir El Haddadi

    Here's a player profile article on him: http://footballcantera.com/munir-el-haddadi/ I didn't truly take notice to him till this season so I never knew that he was that much of a prodigy beforehand. He has all the right abilities and the talent to make it big time in football as a striker. I...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    If we do it, it should be done smartly. Each player we loan to them should be given the one year to develop. If they clearly aren't first team material, we sell them (Celta getting first option) with a possible buyback. If they are first team material, then we bring them back and transition...

    Bayern München

    The issue at Bayern recently seems to be clear as day. If Pep has ever had a fatal flaw as a coach and tactician it would be that he is willing to sacrifice balance in favor of control. It's clearly visible in how Bayern transition up the field. When they build from the back, everything is...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    Well it's a partnership that seems very doable and very likely. Their coach is a former Barca B coach who respects our academy a lot. 3 of his transfers in his first season were former Barca B players (Nolito, Fontas, and Rafinha on loan) and I wouldn't be surprised to see him go for others...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    We can debate all we want on how good Gerard is currently. It truly doesn't matter as logically, it leads down to one road: He'd be much better off developing somewhere in Spain the way Rafinha has. Whether he deserved more playing time or not, Everton simply isn't the place for him to grow as...

    Pep Guardiola

    Pep looked depressed as fuck even after Bayern scored the 3-2 vs Bremen. https://vine.co/v/MvqFOIdx6t2

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    I can't believe this. In just the past few months it was being reported that his treatment was working and that he was on the upswing, only a couple of days ago he was admitted into the hospital for gastrointestinal issues, and now he's just gone :cry:. It's an absolute tragedy for him to have...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    :cry: Devastating how bad things can go in the matter of just a few hours. Seems like any updates are on hold and his son Adria hasn't said anything, which only builds on the tension.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    It's a sad day when panic buying is our only option. Most players that we'll try to approach without buyout clauses will have their prices jacked up by their respective clubs knowing our desperation. In a way, it's necessary though. Our old guard voluntarily leaving (Puyol, Valdes, Pinto...

    Alejandro Grimaldo

    No, maybe, dunno, no, no, definitely no, no. Bale has the pace of a world class sprinter (and the stride form as well). Alba couldn't keep up with him in a 200m but probably in a 100m. Ronaldo possibly COULD but his running style consists of shitty, non-fluid, almost robotic form. The only other...

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    Zubizarreta (director): "Valverde could replace Martino? Athletic is a wonderful club. I respect them a lot, I won't talk about their coach" :lol: pretty much no one is denying Tata's impending exit except Bartomeu it seems (who is a pathological liar). Xavi and Zubi have both selectively...

    End to end stuff, nailbiting thriller. Mourinho's teams play the most entertaining football in the world :mou:

    Coach after Martino

    He seems successful but what managerial style does he have?

    Alejandro Grimaldo

    :lol: 18 year old whose career is broken by one long term injury, ok. Not even.... One got an England callup, the other hasn't even debuted with the first team. Grimaldo has great potential but needs a lot more development as of now. Hasn't played much, doesn't look particularly on form or...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    False 9 would be a waste for him IMO, those roles (higher up the pitch) are what he played in the B team where he wasn't very impressive. At Celta he's a vertical AM. He likes to drop deep and track back off the ball, but transitions forward quickly. CM is his best position but it's not the...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    At Brazil he's covered and controlled by Silva and a double pivot. Even Alves didn't fuck up there. Vs Bayern in the CL final he was covered by a damn bus. Those are environments that give him the support to put in good performances (even then, those performances are rare for him) At Barca...
