    Roberto Carlos

    I would take peak Carlos over peak Maldini. Maldini beats Carlos on versatility and blows anyone on durability. But if I am choosing on peak, I think Carlos reached unmatched levels especially on offense, though this is also dependent on personal preference of style.

    I don't see it with Mora tbh, maybe I was unlucky wiith the games I watched, but I think Porto will cash on the hype either this summer or next. Guille might also be developed into CM in 4231 too, which would allow him more playing time. Porto is a selling club anyway, if they invest in Guille...

    Guille Fernández

    It is already stated months ago he wants to leave for first team football. He won't go to 2nd division And tbh I am not sure he is even ready for Segunda. This what happens when you rush a player in B team, he will be eager for first team football regardless of how ready he is.

    Because Perez has no opposition and a life long Carte Blanche to do whatever he wants. It is a bit like Dicators/kings planning for long run (China) vs someone who has to deliver before the midterms. Laporta had to scrap for some wins in order to continue and implement some long term...

    Johan Cruyff

    Crujif himself is Rinus Michels student, a loyal one if anything. Rinus is the true GOAT of coach tbh, Crujif, Pep, La Masia, Ajax etc, were all products of his ideas. There is a reason he was voted as greatest manager of the 20th century. If you want to go to the roots, then it is Rinus legacy...

    I think they have a deal for Donarumma next summer. They will let Cortouis contract ends and sign the Italian who is 7 years younger.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    So, you expect the club to renew Inigo at 35? Along renewing injury prone Christensen (who has a chronic injury that made him barely capable of playing full 90 minutes when he is healthy?

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I mean, you can upgrade over Fati/Victor with a loan or some 10M signing. You could get upgrade on CB if you make the right choice with 40-60M, and will likely get paid lower than a high profile LW. So, if you have 60M for one big signing, I know which position I would spend into

    LaLiga 2

    Really hate that both Levante and Elche got promoted. Did they ever play a decent football?

    OKC vs Indiana in the NBA finals. OKC will take it all, but I will root for Rick Carlisle.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    Yes Our salary cap went from 200M something into 400M+ between 2023/24 to 24/25 without some strategic increase in income, change of stadium etc. Suggesting that deferred wage was more of "other costs" rather than part of the calculated salary cap. And it will be higher next year with all the...

    I think it is zero tbh, this is the squad cost. I doubt UEFA is counting deferred wages of retired players. But I can't be sure tbh

    UEFA official wages numbers were announced, PSG are number one by some margins. That is the official numbers. Barca are fourth behind them, City & RM,we are 200M below PSG, not 27M above ffs

    Champions League 2024-25

    They were facing a much better side, that is far more athletic and ready, who scored first. Had Inter scored goals first, like they did against us and Bayern (2 gullible teams with worse defenders) they would have looked more strong mentally. Inter was behind for total of 6 minutes in the...

    Champions League 2024-25

    Farmers made it tough in CL in the past decades, it was difficult to turn another gear up when you had no competition. But, new format put a lot of strain on teams competing in top leagues with those extra games and crowded schedule.
