Oh hell no!

He's too good to be a back-up. He's a world class DM and as long as Busquets is there he'll be always behind him in the pecking order.

Nothing to do with his daughter or wife. His daughter is a dumbass btw. Nobody could make her any worse. But if you have followed Argentina long enough you know there have always been the decisions made that are not sporting related. You could say politics, AFA, Grondona himself. I don't think...

Congrats AntiBBilan.

No

I assume if that's true then if he arrive Barca may not sign a RB after all and rely on Luiz and Montoya to replace Alves in the team.

We knew since long time ago Sabella won't choose the players because they deserve it. He choose them because "he" prefers them.

None of 'em were expected to make the list.

Yes. You can no longer say the NT is for the best players. Just a set of favorites chosen by a certain coach. And Sabella did one worse thing that he could at the end and putting Demichelis on that list!

No Laporte either

Alves and Alexis departures ain't no surprises. People and media are talking about that for months. Even Alves himself talked about it.

Not just theory. The first half of the season pressing was evident. Even Messi was doing that I remember. The second half of the season...well it all went downhill week by week. I don't say it's the only problem, but it could be one of the main reasons their teams struggle in the second half of...

Tata comes from the Bielsa school and pressing is an essential part of their course. Bielsa teams have the same problem. Physical and mental fatigue strikes when the season comes to its end.

Not with this one man, not with this one. Thohir is a fan. He won't let him go that easily. And there is no Marco Branca anymore to sell youngsters and keep deadwoods.

60-65m for Hummels???!! Are you serious? Thiago Silva is probably the best CB out there and he cost much less for PSG. No defender worth that much really. And even if in thousands years Barca did pay such an amount for Hummels it would still be less than that 77m the media is going on about Luiz...

Easier to digest than being a disaster against bloody Elche!

His return is irrelevant tbh. Everyone playing in front of Pinto will face the same troubles.

Next week it should be Iniesta-Messi-Alexis upfront. Pedro is just lost against the parked buses. Even Tello was more dangerous than him tonight.

I think he failed to evolve his game over the years. His simplicity is working against him now. He's just out of the right ideas many times.

This is such moments that shows what Barca's lacking upfront. Alexis and Pedro are both hard workers, but they are not champions. When the time gets tough their lack of ideas totally shows off and it becomes Messi all over again who has to save the team. And when Messi for whatever reason is off...
