Calciomercato.com - Kessie wants to go back to Italy in January and has already offered himself to several clubs including Milan. It's not ideal but I would probably let him go for a low or negligible fee if he wants to leave as Xavi clearly won't utilise him well and he has quite a high wage...

People act like PSG are invincible with Galtier and somehow he is some huge upgrade over Poch, lol. They struggled against piss useless Juventus and drew with Benfica in their group, they have a risk of coming 2nd behind Benfica, but because they put 6 goals against Maccabi Haifa it proves that...

Another low quality manager who has no idea about opposing teams or their issues. Bet Gattuso hasn't watched a single game Barca have played this season. Part of the reason LaLiga is falling is not just because of playing staff but also because of poor coaches. All the top coaches are in EPL...

JoanFontes - After the Inter game, part of the Barca board wanted to hold an emergency meeting on October 25, with the intention being to sack Xavi if he did not gain 6 points against Villarreal and Bilbao.

Top teams don't leave spaces like that in defense, they don't play 2-man high lines with Marcos Alonso and Bellerin, and they don't throw 8 players forward every attack like we do. They are more complex to break down than that.

It's a shame to see that 'body transformation' he did in off-season was probably just a pump and good lighting. Doesn't look a single bit stronger than he ever was. Barca conditioning propaganda strikes again, we always hear every off-season about how the players are stronger or fitter and it...

Beautiful dribble and burst to give an assist against Madrid too, which was surprising considering how much we hear about him being physically finished and can't dribble. Sure, maybe he has lost a step or two, but there is the same final third talent there's always been. Pedri at LW was...

3 goals and 3 assists in 300 LL minutes. I repeat, these are not statistics showing he is 'ineffective' or 'a shadow of himself', they show that whenever he enters the field he gives a positive impact. But people here are ignoring that, and showing confirmation bias in labelling him as...

Busquets might leave, but forget about Pique or Alba. They have giant contracts, no chance they leave early when they could just wait a year.

FBref says 85%, I don't know where you pull your stats from but it must be wrong. Maybe that is for a specific competition.

If this is all true we will 99 percent sell Fati for big money. We are going into 1:4 next year again so unlikely we stand in his way as we try to clear the salary cap.

3/4 Serie A teams made knockouts this year. Even Bundesliga have Frankfurt becoming a good knockout team on top of Bayern. Ligue 1 is just a one team league, but still, only Madrid made knockouts this year from Spain. There isn't much to separate LaLiga from the other leagues now and you can...

It's the same story every single year with Arsenal. They start well and then regress to their usual level mid season.

Busquets passing statistically has been worse than ever in this past year. Struggling to hit 85% in many games now and often misses difficult passes. We are in a situation where to be honest he pretty much adds nothing anymore and most decent DMs would be an upgrade over him.

I guess Frenkie playing pivot against Villarreal was actually just to rest Busquets and not to test Frenkie there. Lol.

Especially when you see there are other youngsters like Musiala consistently playing at high levels even in CL, who are allegedly supposed to be worse. It makes you think.

Team doesn't have any more or less youth than most other top teams really. Madrid have Rodrygo/Vini/Tchouameni and sometimes Camavinga in the starting lineup, Bayern have Musiala and Davies there, Chelsea with RJ/Mount/Gallagher etc. Not really that out of line with top teams that there are...

Pedri : 'We made great signings, but it is clear we are not at Champions League level' This is so sad. Our own players have given up on even qualifying past the CL groups because of how bad the manager is. Does anyone really think we'll win LaLiga when the players are making statements like that??

Let's look at some of the big money signings so far and how Xavi uses them after demanding them from the board : Lewandowski - Old technical, associative 9 who needs the team to get him involved and link up with him. Use : Spamming crosses into box, other than that not involved with the game...

Xavi Excuzandez. You will never see him do a post match of a loss where he takes responsibility. There is always some other reason why the team was shite.
