I think they can manage. Team is doing fairly well and promotion should be an afterthought (if not avoided) so nothing to worry about. Could promote the Cuenca kid if needed

There is still some who believed he will. Some folks out there still has their La Masia brainwashed for real.

Both were already in Spain and had trial with the club then signed. Different thing tbh. And it isn't even about back up GK, but finding gems who can get us money or replace our own GK if things went so well. Like Cortois did with Cech for example. Stegen is almost 32, so let's say if we lucked...

His contract with B team ends this season. Do you guys think we should renew him? Would he be interested in staying? At 45 he might want to try his luck as first team coach somewhere else Can't deny that I like his work with B team though, players progress nicely under him while keeping the...

Had some time to burn and decided to watch last 2 games of Barca B, some notes from them: -Was impressed by Noah Darvish in the last game, improved significantly as a Barca midfielder especially regarding positioning. He is also the strongest physically among all midfielders. This is his first...

He later said we rejected it. I think it was a good deal tbh, if we can add 20% from future sale like we did with Todibo then it is clear win. Doesn't feel like a guy who will be ready for Barca anytime soon, and with serious questions about his age too. Easy money IMO.

LVG & Rijkaard too, Rijkaard knew basic Spanish iirc but wasn't fluent. Ancelotti didn't speak Spanish when he joined RM. Speaking the language is important, but not a deal breaker

Better late than never. It is time to bring some reliable backups, rather than often injured 30+ Spanish players like Inigo, Roberto & Alonso

Liga and Qatari league, which had bigger coaching names at the time than Liga atm bar Madrid sides. Unlike Pirlo who failed at every level and same with guys like Gerard

There is no harm in trying to get the best options first mate. It is normal that the club should try everything in it's power to bring Klopp, if he says no then it will at least build bridges for the time when he decides to return. Some under contract coaches could be attainable though, PSG...

Alert: some ranting in my post. I am going to be harsh, but my point is that we should plan the season with the idea of not giving Fort any minutes in 1st team as a goal, and we must not loan him to a team above Segunda level. Being blunt, I think Barca strategy of rushing the youth is a massive...

Don't know, they are very close friends (both admit it) and I don't think Busquets didn't tell him it was a possibility that he will leave in 2023. There were even rumours that Busquets told the club in 2022 that he is considering leaving but we asked him to stay. Xavi must have known that this...

I am really interested to know the reason behind not bringing a DM in 2022 tbh. Was Xavi dismissive of other options? did the board made it feels we will be able to spend big in 2023? Something doesn't add up to this foolishness IMO

Xavi has 2 league titles in his resume. Pirlo ended a 9 consecutive league runs for Juve. Xavi is tiers above the likes of Lampard, Gerard & Pirlo whom fans want to compare him to. There are dozens of tiers of bad, dozens of tiers for average, same for above average then good, great etc. Pirlo...

I think Leverkusen to replace Alonso is a possibility. It is a good club for his level IMO, little pressure with room to grow, and their CEO is from Barcelona

So, how was the Cardona fella against RM?

I doubt Marquez is a serious candidate as people are making to be. Motta? Frankly he is going to a big club next year, he is a highly sought coach atm and he might even turn us down to other clubs. Milan, Napoli and even PSG are going to consider him

I doubt top 4 will be at real risk when Stegen cones back. As bad as Xavi is this season, we were much better before Peña showed his brilliance lol

Pinto was a Zamora winner with Celta mate, he was a very good GK whom we kept renewing till he had no legs to make a reflex. Peña is like Jorquera, who just accepted to be here at the bench and club was like ok, cool. Back up is sorted, but he was a terrible GK. In all 3 cases, it was just...

This means he won't be sacked now, no one will sack a legend like him after announcing he is leaving. MATS get back and we should secure CL spot and beating Napoli
