But Mathieu is a capable footballer. Douglas isn't.

He couldn't handle the early rounds of the Copa. Was the worst man on the pitch by far against a 3rd division team. He didn't deserve any more minutes.

Shouldn't really take this guy seriously. He defends Douglas and Arda to death but people who recognize Busquets' skill are fanboys.

You may have won here, somehow, but there's something I did ask in my deleted paragraphs that I'd still like you to respond to. How patient are you willing to be with Carles Alena (Ironically, me deciding to arbitrarily try and put the code in to make the enye character instead of the n is what...

This was posted before we signed him. Proven to be all false when he actually joined. That's why people are laughing.

He got outperformed by Rafinha who had a broken leg for longer than Arda was banned. That's a pretty epic fail right there.

He had his chance and he failed, in epic fashion. Let's not pretend his issue is as simple as not being able to adapt.

You mean after all this time you haven't known?

If you cared about the success of the club you'd go for the obvious option of favoring the keeper who could be in goal for the next 10 years over a keeper who could be in goal for the next 2. That is, unless you're too much of a fanboy to recognize that Bravo's 2016 form wasn't anywhere near his...

Can't help but wonder what his face would be like if we hadn't have hijacked his signing with Real Madrid :lol:

The thing is, if he's willing to put Sergi Roberto the timid CM at RB just to see if it would boost his confidence, we shouldn't put it past him to snub Vidal completely if Roberto fails to nail the RB position down and go straight for a B team player to see if they'll integrate. He'd be hailed...

The difference between Rodri and Gumbau is Rodri isn't one of the worst players the B team has ever had.

Doubt it. Rakitic is a system player through and through, and that system just happens to be Lucho's system.

It's a lot harder to dig out of the doghouse than avoid it. Especially in Lucho's case. Why we don't offload Vidal this window is a mystery to me, up there with numerous other decisions Lucho has made that don't make any logical sense, from refusing to sell Adriano, to giving Arda more playing...

The CL and the league in each of the next five years? Yeah, no complaints here...

Eusobio might actually be a good coach for Munir, though. His performances with Juvenil A and Eusobio's Barca B was the season that made Lucho basically half-promote him the following season. The question would be though, how willing to play Munir would Eusobio be?

I don't think they've settled their differences by any means. Saying so is the acceptable thing to say and keeps drama away from the club, but Lucho isn't the type who will let things go after one meeting in his office. The man is ruthless, even to his own kids. If Vidal doesn't show instantly...

My entire fucking reply got deleted and I've lost motivation for today...

Mats could win the fucking double every single season and you Bravo fanboys would still say this same nonsense. You are seriously acting like the league is sooo much harder than the CL and Copa, but Bravo's 2016 performances were nowhere near the level we'd require in our knockout rounds.

Luis Enrique's legacy will be remembered more for the players than him himself, imo. The success a coach brings is great for the record books, but as far as a legacy goes, it would require a certain... change, to the way the team plays. Pep's Barca was so iconic not just because they won, but...
