    Ousmane Dembélé

    Sad day. He had the talent of an all time Barca legend and instead contributed close to nothing. One of the most regretful episodes ever. And as soon as it finally looks like he might have improving fitness he goes to PSG.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    So if Laporta tried to trade him and Gavi for Mbappe, how can the club be mad that he leaves to the same club now? When the conditions suited Laporta he was fine sending him to PSG. Just proven perfectly that the club and the player will both do what is best on their own terms, neither has any...

    Xavi Hernández

    BC they don't have high intensity. Madrid are easily the worst top team at pressing.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    100 percent could have got more without that dumb release clause even if he is injury prone. 25 million is average player fee these days. Will be sad to see him leave as I rate him so highly but maybe for the best as hasn't worked out here and we can look for a winger who is more available...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    Honestly, he has something. And he always had something tbf. We just lament the missed chances and broken mental state. But he isn't talentless and has something to give, even if it is just great off ball work and pressing. I can see us getting like 40 mill for him.

    Xavi Hernández

    Can see it with the selection of players... other than Dembele all the players he picks are associative guys who don't lose the ball and position themselves well. We are a 'defend with the ball' team. Trying to keep sterile possession and bring the opponent forward to create openings.

    Xavi Hernández

    I mean, people here are quick to criticise, but I think we have gone beyond the sample size needed to determine whether it is luck or not that our defense is that good. It's not really luck. It's something else. Our sense of defense and attack is very good and we attack and defend as a unit...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I honestly think the pressing demands on him are too much for him at this age and it's burning him out when he does actually get on the ball. Likely too tired to show his full ability or think straight when he gets it and ends up taking too long or making the wrong choices.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Well, he is really old tbf. Was ridiculous ever thinking he could maintain a world class level at the age of 35, he's not that guy, especially after so many seasons of constant availability. Especially for a guy who relied on physical attributes heavily for most of his career. The club knows it...

    16 - Fermín López

    12 goals and 4? assists in Primera RFEF in your first pro season as a teenager is really impressive. Not an easy league to play in even if it is 'third-tier' and he doesn't play very advanced up the pitch either, so those are great stats. He seems really mobile and energetic with decent...

    2023 Preseason

    I have to say, I have the totally opposite opinion. This team physically is top-level. Same level as the top Premier teams, we have size, strength, speed, stamina, and a well coached press. Physically we are great. Just lack invention and creativity

    What a pass by Fermin. Looks ready to come into the first-team immediately.

    2023 Preseason

    Might be one to watch. Got 12 goals and 5 assists in his debut professional season (Primera RFEF with Linares). Getting those figures is pretty damn impressive for your first pro season in a fairly tough division.

    I like the look of Fermin Lopez. Looks mobile and energetic.

    2023 Preseason

    I agree his fitness is bad and has never proved itself but, recently its been much better and if he can be managed carefully I think he can manage near enough a full season. Then once he starts playing consistently and picks up rhythm/physical condition he will be even better than he already is...

    The problem is Carlo... Almost every time we play them is the same, they barely get a look at goal. He cant hack Xaviball.

    2023 Preseason

    Dembele can be the best winger in the world. This guy has everything. Pace, dribbling, technique, shot power, crossing/passing accuracy, both footedness... If you created a touchline winger in a lab it would be him. Sorry but there is no way Raphinia is better than this guy even if he does...

    2023 Preseason

    Interested to see what impact Bellingham has against our pressing. Usually our pressing system is incredibly effective against Madrid, maybe them having that strong b2b can help them?

    Nico Gonzalez

    Great deal honestly. 8m euros, 40% sell on clause and a 30m buyback (which is actually more like 18 because of the clause) for another 2 years, so if he does turn out to be a great player, we will easily trigger it. Good job on part of the club for once.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Was just joking. Idc if you are god gifted at dribbling or not and I hope you are! Your post may well be true. Have to say though the use of "autistic faggots" as an insult on your part is low behaviour. Its not on to mock anyone who is autistic or use it as an insult on an internet forum. I...
