Luftstalag14 Because his vice president of referees father doesn't need to be involved in the transaction if we are paying for refereeing reports from his son (as other clubs have done to him specifically). His own statements and our attempts to conceal the payment only solidify that suspicion...

So this case has been really muddled up by erroneous reporting both by Barca and Madrid medias, it seems that nobody seems to understand what is going on correctly because of the flood of disinformation. I looked into much more today : The main problem that exists is that Jose Maria Enriquez...

The Prosecutors Office saw no evidence yet decided to bring charges on exactly that claim. Makes no sense.

His old contract allows him to leave for free in the summer. Him and his agent also may not be very impressed he's played for this long on his youth salary. Given that he doesn't want to leave though it could benefit us if we can keep him on the old contract for as long as possible so we don't...

You can't count Copa as nothing and then count the tinpot Super Cup as something. That isn't fair. First year winning LaLiga and Copa would be fantastic though.

Yes with the key point being that it's different next season and we make a great European run. If the team is good enough to be 12 points ahead of Madrid it is surely good enough to make a run next season. Nobody will hold Europe against him much if that happens.

I think he is vicious enough. He threw out a lot of other players that other managers didn't want to get rid of. Granted with strong backing of the club that Koeman didn't have but in general he has done well to remove likes of Alba, Pique, Braithwaite, Puig, Garcia etc and get in ones that can...

Everything in Europe these past couple seasons will be forgotten if now the squad is stable and strong we make a serious run next season. Xavi needs to learn from his weak points, mainly treating Europe as if it's LaLiga when the level is much higher there. But he has improved the team a lot in...

Well to be fair to Jammy he also was bang on about many of the players who he said would become important and that we were underestimating the level of eg Dembele, Mats, FDJ etc. What do you know now we have a decent tactical structure and a competent manager the squad is performing to its level.

It might be a while before we can spend again. CL/EL situation really hurt our income this season and we're gonna have to sell big to make any new signings next summer. Then we play next season at Montjuic. Hopefully we can make a deep Europe run next year to help the coffers a bit.

I really doubt we can improve much on Ferran/Roberto/Kessie as bench options. The first was a rotation option for City, a team with unlimited money, but not good enough for bench here? Roberto been a rotation player in better Barca teams, then Kessie is proving he's solid and was a starter in...

Not really sure about that. After MATS's incredible season so far there is no goalkeeper gap for the moment, our defense is far better than theirs, attack maybe equal (everyone fully fit) then Real better midfield. However credit has to go to Xavi for knowing to keep Dembele, MATS in the team...

Well, the midfield and attack aren't riddled with injuries. We have one midfielder and one attacker out at the moment. In general, with a system that's this intense with full pitch pressing almost the whole game, you are probably not gonna have your best 11 available that much and indeed no...

I responded to exactly what you said IE 'Valverde too busy winning leagues' in comparison to Frenkie. Didn't mention anything about my personal opinion on LaLiga. Clearly Valverde is not too busy winning the league being 12 points behind.

Definitely showed up yesterday when we extended our lead to 12 points right? Frenkie just has more dimensions to his game.

Madrid going to need to get a lot younger if want to compete with Barca's intensity over next years. Benzema, Nacho, Carvajal, Kroos, Modric all need to go.

He's very fast and has a great shot on him.. Not a lot other than that and has had a pretty bad season so far. Would have expected him to be more advanced yesterday with Madrid going long more.

Barca set up with a very high, aggressive defending line. He doesn't move enough nor is fast or strong enough to do much against that without help. Physically he's almost completely done by looks of it, getting injured almost every game and can't do anything without ball to feet.

We better not. This 4 man midfield has brought the best out of everyone. Busquets is much more protected, Frenkie has freedom to move between the lines... And plus since we switched to it we barely concede anymore. We conceded too much with the 433.

For us to choke the title we need to 7W - 1D - 4L in 12 games whilst Madrid need to win 12 games in a row. And Madrid are not going to do that anyway. It's won.
