The league is just outdated. Many outdated stadiums, last one to put technology, outdated FFP rules, outdated president of the League, many clubs with outdated style of play, even academies in Spain isn't as good as ones in most other countries. And they still believe everything is fine, no...

Isn't his main position AM?

4M salary cap hit for Felix is good tbh. Context matters tbh, players like Rafinha used to have bigger cap hit. 4M cap hit is for an above average player for midtable team, or end of the bench player in Barca. Now, if this is the cost of a new loan, do it. If it is North of 8M, move on...

It is about the timing though. -Xavi believed in Busquets and wanted him to renew in 2022 -Zubimendi wanted to stay in Sociedad as a starter in teams with several failed attempts to make it to CL, and was already negotiating renewal. -Ferran Torres joined in January 2022, by summer 2022 it was...

Cancelo isn't the guy to play those games (PSG & RM) because he can be easily exposed in defense. He was that way since he was a youngster in Valancia. He is a guy you use to beat smaller teams in the league, and in that he is very good. If Balde was healthy, Cancelo season would have been...

Felix isn't a flop here by any mean. He cost us less than half a million, he has 16 goal contribution in just over 2K minutes. Those are solid number. He is frustrating player, but this is an absolutely bargain deal for us.

If Faye isn't him, Yoro or Hato would be a dream signing for Barca. But we have zero funds for either lol

Well, Lamine has very close body to Fati and is suffering more brutal tackles from younger age. But let's hope he is blessed we injuries because that is the only thing that can save us.

Well, that was 17-18 years old Pedri. Now Lamine is 16 and played 2450 minutes and counting at 16, with 6 games to go, a Euro and potential Olympics. And next season he might be a starter from the beginning, with a possibility of Raphinha being sold and Ferran turning into his only competition...

I would put him as 4th option for the 2 interior position.

Had knee injury, some journalist thinks he might be back in 2025. Still No confirmation of the type of injury.

How are you guys watching Barca B this days? Seems they have closed the door on youtube streaming. Any other quality channels out there?

PSG shit the bed against RM and Bayern with an awfully constructed squad in 2022, with coaches who were built for underdog team and not for winning teams. Messi himself wasn't that good, and was more or less in his semi-retirement while only caring about NT. Now they have a serious coach and...

Yes, RM has been doing that for past quarter century. No one has just bragged about it and called it levers like Laporta has done.

Rudiger has just assisted City last goal ffs :ROFLMAO: Their whole defense suffered in that game, including Rudiger. And he isn't that great on ball as you making him out.

How many times do we need Zubimendi to reject us? He is loyal to Sociedad and most likely will move abroad. Without Raphinha our attack is mediocre at best, at least this year.

The previous signings were made by the trio of Alemany, Crujif and Xavi. Non of those will be making the new signings. The scouting department remains the same, but those aren't the decision makers. In the end, we don't know yet if we trust them or not because we don't know how good the current...

Ter Stegen ability in the ball isn't that unique tbh. More and more GK are good at it. Maybe a decade ago when he was a Neuer wannabe but not now, not really. I don't think selling him now is feasible tbh. I doubt there are many buyers outside KSA and you bet he still dream of the day he will...

Frenkie is good, but again not a good fit and just isn't that good to tailor a game plan for him. He doesn't know how to deal with high press, he has low defensive awareness even for a CM, he has a high cost too and he is almost 27, so the time for him to be worth a lot is closing down rapidly...

Roque deal was essentially 30M + 25M, 5M for each season he starts half of the games with maximum 5 season. And that is on 7 years contract not counting current one and he accepted they will register him whenever they wanted. Guy was on 4.25 amortization deal, and probably not a big salary...
