I think what @Porque is trying to say (and correct me if I am wrong), would it change the expected outcome if we took a step back now to sort the financial issues? Taking a step back in order to move two step forwards. People need to remember that Liga rules regarding FFP is progressive one...

I mean this is the same type of reports about Barca wanting X amount of money for Fati/Lenglet/Dest etc that we have seen consistently tbh. If there was a club willing to buy Cancelo it would have happened already, City are stuck with him while they desperately want him out with a bad blood...

There is also plenty of great attacking Brazilian, you just need to pick the right one. Estevao looked amazing in youth buy is having slow start as a professional in compariso to his teammates Endrick & Guilherme, still he just became 17 a week ago and is slowly intergrated to the team. He is...

Lewa for Auba is the biggest question mark and what if in such scenario IMO. Raphinha and Kounde has helped us a lot and was reliable starter who were fairly consistent and reliable. Not elite though but reliable big club starter. Now, Lewa has helped us a lot and you can make an assumption...

Messinho with a last second game winner

There was another report that Xavi told him personally that he is waiting for him. You never know with this club tbh Honestly, I doubt we will have the funds for either of them. I think it will be Guido and just start making connections with Kimmich in hope we get him for free in a year's time

As it stands, none of those are registered in 1st team squad next year. Roberto & Alonso are free agents, re-signing them means registering their contracts in similar way of new players. Roque and Fermin were temporarily registrations, due to injuries. Inigo are said to have only one year...

I don't think the idea is a CDM who protects the defense but one who can help in build up from the back and be a deep-lying playmaker. I am not saying I like it, btw

He was recently asked if he would retire as Sociedad player, and he said it isn't in his hands because Sociedad might not want him anymore. It feels he is just too comfortable and loyal there, also I think he isn't going to sign for Liga team if he has alternative. Arsenal are most likely...

The rules are changing in our favours most of the times. We simply were fucked by Bartomeu and Covid. And Laporta isn't putting necessary austerity measures for it either, which can be understandable because he want to stay competitive sporting wise. Half of the current squad isn't even...

It is very unlikely that Pimienta will complete next season with Las Palmas. He lived on Valle form early in the season as they had great defensive start, then they returned to normal. The team is finishing the season badly, this will be the typical Liga fallout, they will fight relegation...

Lewandowski was never going to leave thanks to his wife. Zahavi is an outdated agent anyway, he is 80 and barely have any exciting players. Gone are the days where he can orchestrate a Neymar move to PSG or use his friendship with Freguson or Roman Abrahimovic for his use. Right now the best...

I doubt Faye is in Xavi plans. People really need to slow down with the hype.

I don't think it is just loyalty. Xavi wants players who understands his ways already rather than those he has to teach them. He is throwing same lines he used on Dest, his positioning etc. I mean Roque came from a counter attacking team who barely keep the ball, of course he needs learning...

It has been a while since I watched Barca B, since in most cases I used to download it from youtube after the game and watch it later but that is no longer a possibility. I watched his highlights, and he absolutely looked like a CM there. I feel a bit worried about it because he is a project...

I think he can be a player with same impact of someone like Diaz from your side. Frustrating but tough to call him bad starter, not the best finisher. Different players, in addition to having different roles, but Nico of he hits his potential can be of that level.

Tactically and in terms of physical preparation and knowledge it is better tbh, sport science and tactical knowledge advances in one way tbh. In terms of entertainment it is far behind. And football is entertainment industry so there is a legitimate case that it is behind. Talent wise, the...

Benzema has improved his finishing iirc. But yeah, those are exception of the rule

Cancelo has been always like this, and clubs put up with those bad games because he can be lethal against bottom teams. In a world were Balde is starting LB, having Cancelo here is good enough. But we are in a situation where we can negotiate another loan, buying him will be stupid.

Xavi rarely takes player out of his doghouse once he is there. If he isn't convinced with Roque, he isn't going to change his mind. It will make sense to loan him out tbh.
