I think it is estimated his return will be around April. Could be blessing, as it will be near end of the season with potential play-off on the line.

I don't like Sorloth but he isn't a low iq player, and for a big guy like him his technique and agility are both great. Alvarez is better indeed, Alex could be decent option from the bench if he was cheap, which isn't going to be the case

Nah. Even if you think it was overall more competitive, The current era is far more stacked against teams from smaller leagues. The gap is far bigger than the 90's when the effect of Bosman was still eaely and fresh. In the same year, Ajax, Porto & Auxerre where also in QF while BVB won the...

Araujo was Alemany's hire and has left, Deco hired Joao Amaral in his place. And usually those deals falls into La Masia director.

Yeah, I noticed it too. Seems like he will have a good second division season and then move to La Liga

The board understands it. This is the reason we are always struggle with 1:1 , they push the limits all the time, rather than making lower transfers and selling players. If Laporta wins, you bet he will continue with the same. He is a guy who prioritise trophies above all.

Verratti was both finished and a cancer in the locker room, all while Alemany had deal agreed with Gundogan at the same year. Verratti would have been terrible here and we would have tried to get rid of his salary unsuccessfully. You would have complained non stop about getting finished players...

Simple answer is no, none of those are at the Estevao, Echeverri or even the Roque categories. But I think with each and every one of them, there is actual chance of being an imported first team player. Obvious, odds are still heavily against that. Patricio is a starter in his club in Uruguay...

Thuram has 2 years left in contract.

Based on what? In this striker market 60-70M gets you someone not proven (or actually good) like Gyökeres or Sesko. Hell, Barca could get such a number for Torres. And while Osimen won't be cheap, he is definitely going to cost less than Alvarez

From what I've read, and things could be lost in translation, that this is what Alvarez wants and it seems both him and the club have an understanding. But the 70M figure is suggestion from Balassone himself, that Barca will need to negotiate with Atletico and it would take around that figure...

What pre injury? The 3 games in first team? Because Bernal was never a true CDM or a sitting Busi type, he was always b2b trying to adapt to CDM. He played more sitting when he arrived to first yeam because he was mostly trying to adapt to first division football and was being conservative...

He is one of Deco's assistants. He plays a role in b team and loans (or that is what we are told).

In an ideal world, you replace him with a good CDM transfer. In the reality we are in, you sell and replace with Gavi getting back, Bernal getting bigger role and Tommy fighting for the rest of minutes.

Only Cama can be considered a reliable witness here tbh. I don't know how they can prove anything, it seems like a situation that only the two involved knowa what happened. I think they might take Presti word (if he publicly sticks to it) that he called him pussy, and give him a slap on the rest

Motivation is obviously a factor, but also fitness and injuries are in play here. Raphinha and Pedri are two of the most important 3 players in our system and both got multiple injuries. While Kounde is playing like he has aged 5 years, right after being one of the most played players in the...

Cesc is another Motta until proven otherwise. His strongest ability is convincing owners to spend big, which isn't on the table for us.
