Is the Zidane kid any good? A 1.94 left footed CB will always be highly thoughted in football. PS: A bit ironic that of all Zidane's kids, the shortest one ended up being a GK

Beletti knows him and has helped him a lot easing him in Juvenil A gradually. Moving from being a rotation player into being UYCL finals MVP with couple of months or so. That is with him moving to another continent and getting injured at the age of 18. I think Beletti will use him and as the...

Lost against Japan today. I don't think they are overrated, they have very good squad for NT. Their main weakness is fullbacks tbh. Otherwise they either have very good players or solid options at least.

I get not going to Atletico or Barca, but unless you ageee a buyout clause, going to Brazil at 20 is a bit unconventional for my taste. I think it would have been better to go to Belgium for example.

Weird, considering he is going to Cruzeiro. Maybe they made bigger financial offer.

Still no news on his return.

He is injured, it happened in Egypt's game against Burkina on 9th of September. I doubt City will let him go, he was solid with them.

He would end up in Real Madrid in such scenario.

Weren't we linked to the Villarreal guy some time ago?

I didn't watch the U-20 WC due to dealing with some personal issues that is taking my time. So I can't comment on how good he is. His agency is Leaderbrock, their top two clients are Pedri and Ferran. The biggest name beside them is Ratiu whom we were heavily linked to last year. So, this...

Beckham was great during that time, Beckham is what? 3 years older than Lampard? He wasn't a finished player. England peaked in 2002, but they faced one of the best teams in the history of the WC, no one knew at the time, though. 2006 team was the one that looked good on paper but bad as a...

Are those fullbacks any good? Niether are doing that much with their clubs. Yoro is good, though. Jacquet seems like he fits the profile we need perfectly, except he is a bit too young.

Mendes is the best LB in the World and might be the best LB we have seen in the 2020's. His main rival in that is Alphonso Davies. It serves no good to compare Balde with him. Balde is a very good LB, he has injury problems but so is every LB with that style. An argument can be made about...

I don't see it honestly, it feels they will be like the pre-Messi years. There will be soe stars but they will be more of pretenders than contenders. The newer generations are behind the Spanish, French and even Brazilian in terms of talents alone. Scalone will be already at 8 years point by...

We made signings in the last 3 summers, but I still think we can safely call them modest. I think we can all agree that this team needs another big summer if it has the ambition to meet it's potential.

I am his biggest critic, but Barca won't sell a 19 years old Catalan player who was a starter for almost 2 years.

Yet, this is what the fans expect. They don't expect a prospect to replace Lewa. Deco is being real here, Ferran or 3 dynamic attackers (call it false 9 or whatever) are more likely to be the way to go next year. Barca is already tracking someone like Bro Hansen from Bodo Gilmet, Etta Young...

I never liked Martin, but I hate his competition more. What would Martin do in other clubs is mute point. We don't play on a slow motion build up. We are direct in both attack and defense. Martin is taller, bigger, quicker than the other 2, and he is better in defence than them (but it is all...

And most of our successful seasons that had a no9 was also by having one if the best no9 of the generation. Like Lewa, Eto & Suarez And none of those were "scouted" signings. They were all super stars. Can Barca afford that under current reality?

My simple understanding is that those are more or less the same. You salary cap is your "income - non-squad expenses ". Let's call non squad expenses "other" So if you get 500M, you have 250M toward "other" expenses. You have 250M salary cap. So, if you sign a player for B team worth 10M, he...
