    Ronaldo

    I don't think anyone will write R9 ahead of either Messi or CR7 if asked about an objective ranking of top 10. I would bet good portion will take him out of top 10 even. But his top years will always be appreciated, R9 early is the answer of "what if you mix Messi and CR7 into one player". He...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    He is interesting to follow, but Como is a big spender and supporting his project generously. Same thing happened with Motta, who changed two thirds of the team and was credited for being the brain behind it and being the next big thing. They have spent close to 100M since they got promoted.

    Vitor Roque

    I was one of Roque biggest advocates here, though I pointed his limitations from the start, but he isn't better than either Torres or Lewandowski. I don't get the 2.5 years of Lewa either, his contract along the reported renewal, is until 2026, nothing about 2027. The club will try to finance...

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Barca Goalkeepers were always risky and a walking ticking bomb with their mistakes. It isn't like we ever had a Buffon or Schmeichel starting here. You would expect folks to have developed some thick skin by now, it is Barca legacy

    Should return one last game at the end of the season and get a proper sent off tbh

    Vitor Roque

    It seems like the deal with Palmeiras already agreed with Barca, according to Matteo Moretto at least. Loan with obligation to buy for 25M for 80% of his rights is the quoted numbers by other journalists, including Brazilian sources iirc (feel free to fact check it, I might have missed...

    Ibrahim Diarra

    He is playing with Juvenil A, not even a starter there. It seems like he regressed a bit in his last year in Mali, and they are taking it slow with him.

    Stefan Bajčetić

    Not bad game yesterday, but he was actively trying to get someone injured.

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    https://fbref.com/en/players/87b498b0/Joan-Garcia Garcia numbers seems like a one for future solid backup than a starting GK.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Yeah, he stepped up.

    Mika Marmol

    Looked good today imo, he is likely to move elsewhere soon.

    La Liga Round 25: Las Palmas - Barca 0-2

    That McBum guy is bullying our defense tbh

    La Liga 24/25

    Celta's Fer Lopez and Swedberg both seems very decent players to follow. Swed was strongly linked to us before choosing Celta, and it seems that the move is paying now, they play him more advanced though and he is a bit wasteful, but I can see him being sold with good profit. Fer Lopez seems...

    16 - Fermín López

    Gavi is over a year younger and lost a full year of development, he is the more athletic and generally more talented and versatile. Fermin was actually doing as bad early in the season. Barca will bet on Gavi longer, hoping he will get back on the right track and start playing proper football...

    Giorgi Mamardashvili

    While I agree about the general sentiment about Bartomeu, Barca legacy was always a below average GK in the starting spot. I doubt you will ever see a Barca GK in all time top 25 GK. If anything, splashing money on Bravo, MATS & Cillessen was very good moves in comparison to our past history.

    Mikayil Faye

    4th league game for Habib Baye (who is from Senegal btw) as a coach, Faye isn't even on the bench, only played 24 minutes. He should have been loaned in the winter, that is just a waste.

    Griezmann vs Hazard

    That is a tough one, both were amazing but never the best, and both got underrated. With an exception of few seasons, their primes were mostly on different times despite being ss old as each other, mainly because Griezmann was a late bloomer, while Hazard career ended early. I would take...

    Champions League 2024-25

    Injuries and choking are our biggest opponents now. 5 full seasons without a Semi-final appearance, 8 full seasons being on the receiving end of at least one 3+ goal spanking. Now, we have the absolute upper hand against oppositions to the semis, and probably favourite to reach the finals from...
