Like I said earlier, you simply don't understand roles in a team. We won the CL that first year and Rakitic played a vital part in it. Not going to waste anymore time on you, bud. The way you write and express yourself tells me everything I need to know about your IQ.

The more I've watched Pedri over the past few seasons, limited as it may be due to injuries, the more I've been convinced he shouldn't be anywhere near an AM role. He's just not a very progressive player with the ball and Gavi even less so. Relying on one of them to be the creator with a pivot...

This is the best option for RIGHT NOW, I agree, but not for long term. If he has a stinker or gets injured at Betis, absolutely no one will want him. I think selling for 25mil and taking a 5mil-ish loss now is best for us long term. Even if he has a decent season in Betis, the buyers who'd be...

You seem to be missing the bigger picture, as in a team should have roles for certain players in their positions to make the team overall perform the best. Rakitic was asked to play a very specific role to get the best out of Messi and our RB, and he did it very well while pressing and working...

A lot of that wasn't his role. His role was to press since Messi didn't and cover the space left behind by the RB. He did this while making good runs into the box and having a good shot from outside the box. He wasn't world class, but he was disciplined and played his role well, especially the...

Rakitic was a good player, especially his first season. He pressed all game and worked twice as hard on the right side to compensate for Messi standing around. All while contributing offensively as well. He fell off towards the end, but he was getting older and likely tired from playing nonstop.

Even if we got 50% of Lenglet's wages and Gundogan's off the books that would be huge no? That is half of I think our 4th highest earner and all of our third. We can't know if Roque's salary would be useful or considered since they seemed to be unsure whether or not he'd be here. Ah well.

Well, I've accepted Nico wasn't coming the moment Olmo was signed....but with Gundogan and his huge wages off the books, doesn't it become a possibility? Especially if Roque is sold for 20mil as rumored. 20mil + whatever Gundogan's small fee ends up being plus his huge salary. If Lenglet goes on...

I can't blame him for wanting to leave. Look at the way we've behaved in the market. You think he wants to spend his last few seasons competing with Olmo and 5 teenager/20 year olds for 3 spots? De Jong isn't going anywhere either and he will start when/if ever healthy.

Coutinho and Griezman were played out of position but still contributed a bit. Torres is just a ghost every game that suddenly appears once or twice a match to miss a sitter or trip over the ball. Torres also came when we were totally broke for a fee way higher than his worth, making the deal...

Hahaha. I'm triggered....hilarious, but still triggered.

More questionable decisions being made. It's bad enough they haven't addressed LW or DM and spent 60+mil on a player who plays best as an AM, but now we are prioritizing keeping Garcia over Faye. Eric had to have had some interest from La Liga teams after a decent season at Girona. Faye is young...

Raphinha is a good, hardworking player but he commands zero respect on the wing, less and less the wider he goes. He's just not what Barca needs from a winger. I like him a lot regardless, despite being frustrating to watch because of this.

Of course he played a role, that's obvious. However how many times did Stegen stand on his head to keep us in games that season? How many incredible defensive performances did we have to squeeze out 1-0 wins or close ties we should of lost? A lot of very crucial goals were scored by other...

I don't give a shit about losing the Gamper or in preseason. It's fine and doesn't matter. What bothers me is how Lewa and Torres still look like garbage, or somehow worse than last season. Lewa was an awful signing, I don't care if people say "we won a league with him" because Stegen and...

They are both too proud, despite being shit. Especially Torres. At least Lewa has the excuse of being old.

Xavi spending 115mil on Lewa and Torres when we're broke is absolute sadness. Lewa's salary is just the cherry on top.

The game is being streamed free in Barca One website, from official site. At least here in the U.S.

I feel bad, you must be so lonely all alone in that basement.

You try too hard.
