It is not true.

Barca tried to sign Davies almost two years before he signed for Bayern.

Clearly no issue with him being Canadian.

The fuck would Stoichkhov know about players frim Canada. The guy is an idiot

He lives in Miami so probably watches the MLS.

We signed that other Canadian kid around the same time. His name escapes me right now.

Possibly we saw more potential in him.

Not really due more potential dont think.

Signed him for around 500k and tried to sign Davies for around 7m.

Bayern jumped ahead when offered better programme in first team.

 

[Porque]

There you have it. The usual case of us not willing to pay up like Kubo, Asensio before. Yet don't mind putting money into unknown Brazilians.

EDIT

We signed Ballou Tabla a year before Bayern signed Alphonso. So the timelines coincide with us scouting talents in the region for the B team and not closing Alphonso for whatever reason.

 

[Catta]

Has he resigned yet.

 

[Alik]

Has he resigned yet.

On Monday there will be a board meeting where "decisions will be made". Looks like they won't resign and will call for elections on March.

They will sack Abidal as a scapegoat. No radical changes. Barto and the board must be the most delusional professionals to ever work in the football industry.

We can't rebuild the team without getting rid of the seniors. Suarez, Busquets, Alba, Raki, Vidal, Pique, all should leave in the next few weeks.

Try to cut losses and sell Griezmann and maybe Dembele.

Buy 3-4 inexpensive talented young players, buy another in January transfer window.

Bayern started to rebuild the team after getting rid of the seniors' last summer.

So iiirc la liga is starting September 12th. That’s less than a month away. What is expected to change? What can we realistically do to change this team in less than a month?

Next season is a wash anyway. What we can hope for is elections in January so the next board can start planning for the next summer and the great purge.

In fact the least this rat faced prick can do is start the purge already to make it easier for his successor, if he has an iota amount of respect and love for Barca, he'll start rebuilding NOW.

Just let Puig play, bench Suarez more and let Ansu play even Dembele.
Maybe look to integrate a player more from Barca B. We can do some experimenting.
