    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    The way teams play against us is almost always reactive to our style, since we are the ones in control (up until recently at least). If we play well, they can't react in any way to actually stop us. If we don't, then they create the antithesis necessary to keep us at bay. Prime Barca plays with...

    Coach after Martino

    Lucho seems ok but doesn't excel in any aspect of managing as of yet. He seems like he'll get better over a longer period of time, but atm I don't think he's the man to improve us. Picking Lucho is literally the easy way out, more consideration and effort should be made to get a coach with...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    That's the thing, as of now his contribution is only in those select occasions. There is almost nothing that Fabregas does over the 90 minutes in support of his teammates/our play that makes us better and more fluid or lively. In the beginning of the season, sure. Now in his dung form? Not even...

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Hoping that's sarcasm, if not..... Where the hell did this possibility even come up? :lol: I've heard it mentioned more and more recently (obviously by those ignorant to Eusebio's managerial caliber) No matter how stupid the board can be, Eusebio is an off-limits coach. Funny how people even...

    Coach after Martino

    De Boer has been shifting around in his comments regarding his link to the Barca job. First he said that he would like a younger team like Liverpool who are in a period of growth. Now he says he'd definitely consider Barca. He's also made other comments like saying that if the right opportunity...

    Marc Bartra

    Leo is from La Masia... The notion that only those from the academy can lead the club is absurd. A leader is someone who LEADS, the only advantage that being from the academy gives is being familiar and experienced with the club from its heart (which encourages more authority). Bartra, however...

    Marc Bartra

    Bartra has the heart of a potential captain, but the mental fortitude? Not really (yet?). Despite his good run of form recently, he still has the tendency to go shaky in games under pressure. He can and will mature, but it's a sentimental overreach to say that he has shown enough to be the heir...

    Adama Traore

    Well that's, odd... Hope he chooses Spain though, don't understand why he'd change his mind. The one tendency he has right now that semi-frustrates me is that he makes himself home on the outside of the fullback, isolated. It's a great place to be when you want to stretch the play, but by no...

    Daniel Alves

    :lol: :alveshat: So...... Played a big role in all 5 goals we've conceded vs. Madrid over the past 2 games. Only bested by Lahm, Alba is the 'targeted' flank, and his crossing is of trophy-winning caliber :horse:

    Marc Bartra

    Did well, you'd be a fool to expect a great defensive performance given how exposed our backline gets by our lack of pressing and no team defensive tactics. Can't make promises about him as he's wavered around a bit this season, but definitely a consistently reliable backup for next season...

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    He plays some good attacking football at Rayo and works with a small budget. However he's at the helm of a team that has conceded 70 goals in 33 games, his style of management is very 'hail mary'. If you want Jemez you're asking for (even more) defensive instability and an 'all in' gambler.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Very much agree with Alarcon's sentiment that it's the influence of the coach that will change Messi's performances. The way Messi is now, he's the judge and boss of his own actions. If he's our best player and doing his job of scoring goals (even that has dropped), then he's destined to give...

    Adama Traore

    He was born in Catalunya and represents Spain at youth levels, where'd the notion come from that he'd choose Mali?

    Munir El Haddadi

    :lol: It's the opposite. Dongou and Sandro are the pure strikers who are limited in other areas of the game. Munir is extremely versatile, skilled, and has variety.

    Cazorla, Isco, and Navas/Fab/Martinez

    Munir El Haddadi

    His second goal was absolutely phenomenal. He's no "tall targetman" but I'd much rather have him as our X factor than Dongou/Sandro. His versatility and wide range of abilities means that he'd fit into squad rotation very well and give us a great tactical variety. He could play LW/RW to...

    Adama Traore

    His technique is great. He has close touches when needed, unbelievable balance and changes of direction, etc. What he needs to develop for first team football is adding more variety to his game and being more of a team player (not that he's selfish, just that his actions are often individual)...
