If he's having any major ankle surgery it will be at least two to three months till he comes back though even that is quite quick for the procedure by normal standards. It depends what ligament (s) are affected but in general the ankle is one of the weakest areas of the body so any surgery on...

It was truly a huge failure and as mentioned here probably cost the club huge amounts of money in the grand scheme of things. Not only were we really strong favourites to win that Europa but it also led to us being put in a difficult CL group and knocked out of that (we would have been pot1 if...

We don't know of the contextual circumstances he is talking about yet. If Madrid end up having an 100 point season, and we finish narrowly behind, we would still have had an amazing league season without winning the league, we simply came up against an even better competitor. If Madrid have a...

It isn't the standard, but I do think Serghei was leaving out some context when he excluded the other competitions in his response. It was a good season and very good title win but was partly shadowed by really poor performances in other competitions. 7 or 8 out of 10.

It was a good win, but it also came with a set of humiliations in the cup and Europe, so it wasn't a perfect or superb season overall.

In that case it likely is the season over even though we've just started it. Just absolutely awful luck with him and Gavi both if we're being truthful.

I think when you go straight up to Barcelona after one season with the B team it's a huge physical jump, that might have contributed to it, but in the end it's mostly bad luck, I suppose. It's always hard to know how to introduce players because sometimes taking it too slow leads to injuries...

Wow. That's brutal. He was doing so well.

Another part of the win today is not having a neurotic child on the touchline. I have no doubt in my mind if the decisions that happened today were against Xavi's Barca Xavi would be exploding in anger at the ref and getting sent off. Flick stayed calm and kept focus.

The team is actually fun to watch again. It's one of the first times in a while I've been excited to watch Barca and been entertained by our football. Exciting attacking football, no cowardly tactics, always looking to attack and put on a show whilst winning too. Including high intensity from...

The fact we have Cubarsi, Bernal and Yamal who barely have 100 games of pro football between them coming into one of the biggest clubs in the world and instantly playing like skilled veterans, and even being the standout players on the pitch, is an incredible thing you'll only see at FC...

Unironically the Busquets replacement. A lot of similarities. Long and wiry just like Busquets was too. When he develops his frame a bit and grows physically we'll also see his play improve.

What a player. Again credits to Jamdav for being ahead of the curve.

Decent player but chronically overrated, for some reason. Gets praise for a lot of things that should really be taken as standard, whilst he has shocking games every once in a while also.

Still the best academy in the world. Even to this day, we can still drag in B team players who are 16, 17, 18, and have them put in performances of seasoned veterans. Fantastic.

I think a lot of it is just putting players in positions that suit them and not forcing some dumb positional play system. He is trying to suit the tactics more to the players attributes and not putting square pegs into round holes. End result : 3/3 with great performance so far. The only thing...

3/3, 9 points, FLICK is at the wheel

You're discounting the possibility he does well and then we have options to sell him elsewhere for a good price. If the article is correct we could be stuck giving at least 5m to them in a future sale. This practise of giving the club a development percentage is so uncommon, other clubs don't...

Can't really blame him though, he is getting serious injuries every few months, he could simply just make a decision to protect his body even if it means playing at a lower level.
