Have to disagree. Mathieu was overall a good signing for us, although we got him when he was a bit older. Umtiti and Vermaelen both played well when healthy.....which wasn't often.

Ideally, selling Frenkie for the sake of the overall squad would be the best choice. We have a lot of quality at CM despite him, but we would be really betting on the youngsters continuing to develop in order for the midfield to not get run over by quality opposition. Big fan of Silva, but...

We are still broke. We are going to lose out on a lot of money long term due to this, but it will help us sign a few players now, pay wages and balance the books a bit. We wont be signing big players every summer after this, at least not as often or without additional income or sponsorship.

Does Pablo Torre not have his own thread? Never see anyone talking about him.

Too bad he didnt agree to take a paycut. I'm assuming he refused to initially and it's why they are publicly trying to push him out so hard.

I was attempting to be sarcastic and foolish. Apparently in my sleep deprived state I failed. In all seriousness, Frenkie could easily play as a CB for us. It would also leave us 60mil or whatever Kounde would cost to spend on fullbacks, which is 100% what we need. I wouldnt mind Azi on the...

Can save us 65mil on Kounde and keep Frenkie as CB if he agrees to take a paycut 🤔 Spend the money on Bernardo Silva instead.

The boy looks more comfortable at CB right now than he did all last season babysitting Busquets in midfield.

Zinchencko is quality, 38mil is fair if not a bit low. Apparently they are going to spend 50mil now on Marc Cu 🤷

You keep using that weak ass response. How has that worked out for Spain and Barca the last 6 years eh? Not exactly rolling around in trophies. And like I've mentioned several times now, a part of the reason there has been a lack of success is due to top teams specifically targeting his...

Having a players sole role in the team be to babysit a teammate is failing before you even begin. Busquets doesnt have the attacking qualities to make up for all his defensive vulnerabilities...which also makes no sense since he is our DEFENSIVE midfielder. He has no pace or muscle to penetrate...

Going to be easy to cover Lewa if the wingers stay far out wide and fullbacks arent creating width. We better hope Dest steps it up, because Azi is solid but not great at attacking and although Alonso is good going forward, he's 31 and likely on same level as Alba. No one in our midfield is a...

I was all for giving him a fair chance, and think he deserves a little more time, but I'll be honest and admit I'm worried considering he got worse over time, instead of better...even with Xavi's idiotic tactics of sticking him far out wide where he is at his worst.

It is clear he has talent, but it seems he wasnt that influential until towards the end of the season, when considering stats as well. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Thanks! His touch and finesse are great to watch. High hopes for him.

How was Pablo Torre, the game wasnt on any streaming services here.

Sterling is a very talented and EFFECTIVE player. His finishing is subpar, but he offers so much else. Tons of pace and can beat his man. Decent vision. I rather have a player that knows how to get into scoring positions and scores 1/4 every few games than a player who doesnt offer nearly as...

If they are paying him more vs the 40% reduced wages rumor then that is sadness. Still only a 2 year deal so not terrible, but sad.

Koulibaly is gone and reports are stating he wants to go to England. Hope we have a plan C.

As I said, the coaches in the past were wrong, as history has proven. Xavi is also wrong, since top teams are continuing to expose him the same way they did with the previous coaches. It's not that complicated to understand. Try a little harder.
