    Iñigo Martínez

    Honestly, I am not too fussed about it. Inigo got massively overrated, he looked shit at the end of last year and during the crisis we had in November, never mind an underwhelming first season. He only looked good when the whole team looked great and it was a well oiled machine, but he was...

    Deco

    Just saw there are reports that said that, others say it was in the original contract (his renewal was just exercising the + year clause early on, but maybe new clauses were added). Maybe it was Deco, but this feels like the type of shenanigans that Alemany used to pull.

    Deco

    That was Alemany's contract, just like the clause he gave to Dembele too

    Marc-Andre ter Stegen (loaned to Girona)

    Such report hurt him, if he indeed sees himself being able to return before 4 months. The club won't allow it to happen, as per La Liga rule, they will get a hefty fine (3 times the amount the registered player through exception, so 240% of half of his salary). There is also a question of...

    Benjamin Šeško

    Kane or Ferran is my bet, maybe Rashford will be motivated and make it his.

    Did we ever produce a Barca level no9 from La Masia? We produced few good GK (Valdes, Reina), CB (Puyol, Cubarsi, Pique), Fullbacks (Balde, Alba, Roberto), wingers (Messi, Pedro, Lamine) and I don't need to talk about midfield. Striker though? Closest things are false 9 Messi, and Icardi who was...

    Marc-Andre ter Stegen (loaned to Girona)

    It is a deeper ethical question and how much are you paid isn't part of it, NBA has failed to force players who are trying to enter the league to share their medicals for decades. I think they managed to have some leeway only recently, although I stopped caring that much about the CBA. Europe...

    Marc-Andre ter Stegen (loaned to Girona)

    What is the fuck are you talking about? :ROFLMAO: Ter Stegen is sharing the information with the Club, he isn't consenting the club sharing it to a 3rd party which is La Liga. And he is absolutely entitled to that by the law, hence why the club is requesting it and not doing it alone. Trying to...

    Marc-Andre ter Stegen (loaned to Girona)

    Nagelsmann will tell all his players to go and play, but at the end I doubt it will matter that much, Marc is still better than any German GK not named Neuer and when it is decision time, he won't care that much about him being on the bench for Barca, veteran GK can usually keep form in such...

    Marc-Andre ter Stegen (loaned to Girona)

    The judge himself said we won the Olmo case due to mistakes in La Liga papers, otherwise they would have won it. It was literally Tebas incompetence that saved us. La liga has changed the rules, and we could re-register players again afaik, the problem is still the vip seats. It is the club...

    Benjamin Šeško

    What is your opinion on him? he seems like one of those strikers who will do a Sorloth and score 15 goals in 16 games, with all of his goals being scored in 2 games. I don't think his overall game is good either

    Marc-Andre ter Stegen (loaned to Girona)

    He was, but he sold his soul to the devil, i.e the club. He is an absolute clown now, and he was one of the journalists who kept claiming Marc is training alone because he is mad at the club, and then we realize it was due to injury. He only speaks of the club view, and has no problem attacking...

    Diego Simeone

    What do we mean by spend? The annual cost of Barca squad is twice as Atletico, we were top 4 in Europe last year. Atletico is distant 3rd in La Liga financial ability, and they perform the same way. Transfer budget is a fraction of money clubs spend, and even if you consider it as the money...

    There will never be any project if renovation without putting financial burden on some of the next boards. Clubs can't operate like that

    https://www.transfermarkt.com/marc-casado/profil/spieler/636695 This is what journalist mean when they say market value. It is transfermarket which itself states that it is dependent on the valuation of it's own members in many cases. It is usually a mix between lazy journalism and clickbait.

    Possibly, Middle East (depending on politics), Malaysia are options too.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Second half of last season was his best IMO, first half he was our worst starter but he stepped up later.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Alba was still one of our best offensive weapon even when Messi left. His runs and crosses are great regardless of teammates. Yes, having better teammates obviously helps. Alba isn't in "goat tier" because it is crowded right there, the likes of Maldini, Carlos and even Marcelo are fairly ahead...

    Deco

    A short over simplistic answer is that his hands are tied and it is still hard to judge, signs are mixed but I would say he is solid. A full answer is more complicated than this. For me, it starts with what is the role of SD? and how we judge it? For most fans, SD is some guy sitting on his...
