You're being more sympathetic than practical. I'm willing to give Tito another year because managers have shown the ability to change (AVB anyone?) but if he doesn't fix or even try to fix the current problems then no one is going to give him a significant high profile job simply on the basis...

Pellegrini- doesn't suit our style, going to City most likely Simeone- as already been said, he's more counterattacking football Klopp- his players have amazing speed and stamina plus he doesn't play a possession based game Heynckes- retiring and if not, wouldn't come to Barca. Other than...

Even considering how much could've been lost in translation, there is little to suggest that Roura or Tito even care about giving Thiago any playing time. Even forgetting the contract or his unhappiness at the treatment he gets, they still aren't playing him for good footballing reasons as well...

That's a better statement to make than saying anyone who expects him to not turn out as good as he's hyped up to be is a bad supporter. It's wrong to assume he'll fail without reason to back it up, but it's also wrong to believe that he's an instant success and that anyone who believes otherwise...

Kriakos is closer to a Liverpool transfer as a Carragher replacement. Would be a good buy for them and they really are on the rise with young talents (Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling, Suso, Wisdom, and possibly Papadopoulos)

Default picture I believe

To be a good fan one doesn't need to blindly support everything the club does. This transfer is very debatable and has people on both sides of it, whether it be wanting him here or thinking it's not a good idea. There is no justification in saying that anyone on the opposite side of the argument...

Roura you genius :worthy: I'm not going to sympathize for much longer and it'd be pretty honest to say that this era for Barca is in a decline. It's happened throughout history and it'll happen again (Cruyff's Ajax, Sacchi's Milan, etc.). The problem is that even though we won't hit the same...

I don't like Robben but he is a player who's very good at disrupting defenses. Plus he and Muller raped us so it's not like you can deny that he's got talent.

Roura: "Alves? Training well, we'll see tomorrow if he can play. Puyol? We focus on next season, want him to be back totally recovered." Cauae you know, there isn't a fully fit young aspiring RB in our ranks who needs playing time.

The goal still gives me goosebumps when I watch it

Yes but I'm grateful that this is more of the press's obsession with Neymar rather than his obsession with himself. Hazard acted like a teenage girl with his saga giving false hints and saying stupid things to get attention, not to mention flirting with around 6 clubs.

Well at least Neymar isn't like Hazard making deliberate comments just to tease the press over his move. Hazard's egotism over his move was Lebron-esque.

Not always about the money and it's pretty obvious that his move to Barca will generate tons more for him anyway through sponsors and whatnot, so don't make him out to be a saint for choosing a slightly lower (still immense) salary. Plus I'm pretty sure Barcelona have locked in so many things by...

Don't rule out that there could've been a massive down payment earlier and this is just a final fee

Transfer News Live ‏@DeadlineDayLive 18m Barcelona have completed the signing of Santos wonder-kid Neymar, however, they could delay the official announcement. (Source: Various) This thing has been "official" more times than I can count.

I'm yet to see how they perform as a unit, not just a group of expensive high profile players. Only then can we tell if they have a good chance of being title contenders.

30 million seems pretty reasonable considering all the bogus rumors that were going around about 70-120 million. Although the 30 million could be a final payment on top of much more that was previously paid.

Brazilian media seem confident a deal on Neymar could be closed today as more than 20 journalists are waiting outside Santos' stadium [rac1] :lol: what a saga
