He said that the club didn't use the media to attack Guardiola about Tito's illness.

I guess but Tito would rather play a 2 man defense of Alba and Alves than voluntarily give Bartra ample playing time.

Celta's kits are so sleek!!! Love it!

He has technique and plays a little more deep lying as a forward, but his best qualities lie in attack. In midfield, sure he'd be able to pass around and be a correct player but I'm not sure if that's really getting the best out of him. He doesn't have to be fast/physical to score goals in the...

#10 and a starting position already? Good choice for him then :p I can't really say how many goals he'll get, it all depends on how hard he works and how seriously he takes things. Physicality won't be that much of an issue because he's pacy and has a great height and build, much better than...

Seems pretty likely

:worthy: that logic

Montoya is the only of our current canteranos who's comparable to Thiago. Bartra and Tello don't show the same potential

It was because of Pep, but not because Pep and Pere 'tricked' him into it because of their relationship. It's cause he actually wanted to work with Pep. If he wanted to go to United then nothing they would've said could stop him. The whole "brothers" thing really doesn't do much about it, since...

Or the fact that Pep is a coach that Thiago easily trusted and loved? Thiago wouldn't have moved to Bayern if he didn't want to, regardless of Pep or Pere.

You seem to have created some elaborate story of how Pep's brother helped orchestrate some devious scheme for Pep to steal Thiago from Barca, yet question how anyone could possibly blame Rosell or the management for Thiago's buyout dropping so low.

I don't get how you conveniently choose to overlook anything Rosell does wrong and say that it technically can't be attributed to him and that it's not concrete evidence yet find wildly BS ways to make Pep seem like a villain to the club.

Pep is very pro-Catalan independence, I doubt he'd do international work. He's the kind of guy who requires a lot of time spent with his squad, he can't be as active and imposing of a coach if they only see him once every few months. Same reason why Sacchi didn't like being Italy's coach. I'm...

Saying Roberto is the next Xavi is like saying Joe Allen is the next Xavi.

:lol:

This was when it was minor speculation, just papers like Sport, MD, or Marca reporting interest from United. It really started looking like he would leave for United a few days after I bought it, then weeks went by and nothing was official so I thought it was ok. But then one rumor of Bayern...

Well one thing's certain, I wasted 120 euros :lol:

We didn't have many good midfielders to begin with, but now even Rafinha, Gus Ledes, and a few others left so it's very thin on options. Eusebio really can't be stupid enough to not play Samper at all despite having no other viable options.

You're just thinking in present terms. As a future prospect, Thiago offered a LOT and losing him means losing a player who could be among the best in the world in the future. He would've been a very crucial player for us going forward, but now we don't have that option.

He has some potential but people are just expecting too much of him, as if he absolutely has to fill the shoes of Thiago/Xavi to be a success. Not every useful player has to be world class, Roberto could function well in the Keita role if he developed.
