    Xavi Hernández

    I am not sure Manu is built that different for a coach like Xavi. There is a reason Amorim was forced to try 433 later. They lack proper midfielders, and they knew that already under Amorim, Ten Hag but failed to address it. They will go big for those regardless of whom they hire. One of...

    28 - Roony Bardghji

    At most, there is a handful of wingers in the world who won't struggle against a healthy and in form Mendes or Alphonso Davies. Even Lamine had hard time against Mendes. That is an unfair bar to set. Especially for a 20 years old winger returning from ACL who just joined from the Danish league...

    Last minute equaliser for Valancia

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Those ones takes years to develop anyway. If you are buying U-18 or even U-20 player who cost 2 bag of chips, you are playing the long term one. We managed profits in Pau & Faye, likely to get future profit from Darvich, while Martin and Roony are in first team. And that's not counting injury...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Important game against Valencia B today. A win makes us second in our group at the end of the first half of the season.

    It isn't the norm that you are getting the young jewels, it is the exception.

    Arabia Cup Semis: Barca - Bilbao 5-0

    You are spot on on the pros and cons, but I don't get the timing of this talk. They played it in Morocco in 2018, in a one game format rather than the historical home and away. Next season (January 2020) it was played in Saudi in cup format. Then due to Covid they stopped that in 2021...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    It isn't going to happen with tight budget and club only seeing the offensive side as the only one that matters. They might bank on Yaakob, and ruin his development by putting him on bench.

    Arabia Cup Semis: Barca - Bilbao 5-0

    It has been like that in all 2020's irc. Why do you folks just realising it now? And it has been the case for other Spanish clubs as well, along Italians who do the same.

    QF is set. Very stacked tbh, tough games. Mali vs Senegal Cameroon vs Morocco Algeria vs Nigeria Egypt vs Ivory cost. Other than Mali, all teams were considered contenders. I think Semi will be Senegal vs Ivory Cost, and Morocco vs Nigeria (especially is Osimhen plays). Hard luck to...

    Victor Osimhen

    He just left NT over this, how is this leadership?

    Chelsea

    Most likely there is an exit clause, with certain amount to be paid if he is fired. So, they tied him long term on cheap deal if he is good, they lose minimal amount if he is fired.

    Andrei Ratiu

    He has just renewd few weeks ago. Also, he has the same agent as Pedri and Torres. This could mean previous links was agent favour, or they offered him to us. Same way that now we are linked to their own client, Rodrigo Mendoza His main issue is that Villarreal still holds a buyback option...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Touchline are more or less a troll account, but Kane ain't coming anyways. He is a Barca fan, but it seems a very difficult deal as his club isn't willing to sell. His contract is up in 2027 so maybe in summer we will have a chance. He was good in Italy, but worse passer than Araujo. Old...

    2 - João Cancelo

    He is one of the few players that could make our squad worse. Amazing tbh
