Alemany is not as good as a negotiator as is made out. He just has great PR. The media will say whatever the club want so it makes his negotiations look good until later where the real finances are exposed.

I do give him a chance and last season was good overall. But just saying it is not the case any more that excuses should be made because we have a strong team.

Well it says a lot about the B players if they are struggling against a 4th division team. These guys are basically amateurs and we made them look like a legit team and let them pressure us. Pretty bad game.

Olot are in the Tercera. It's pretty worrying we are playing a competitive game with them.

Collado trying too hard to impress.

Marmol is like a clone of Garcia. Almost identical players. He's made a bunch of fouls this half other than that too.

Obviously its a friendly but would be nice to see even a bit of pressing that Xavi is so insistent on.

For all the talk about the big preseason muscles of the players it does look like they're throwing us around out there. Probably mostly the young ones tho.

Last season we had the 2nd best squad in the league apart from a couple months so yes it has been and was an expectation to win most games. This squad currently is more than good enough to beat every team in the league except Real, which is seperated by Benzema and Courtois. With additions such...

By who? You can't possibly mean the club or Xavi?

They definitely don't at all

Top speed / acceleration are highly correlated. Think of all the players considered fast in world football and if any of them have a low top speed.

Koulibaly is great but a little overrated. I watch a lot of Serie A and he's no world class brick wall, although very good. At an older age too when we don't need any more of those.

Did you watch any of his last season or saying 'failed' because you just looked at goals?

I think his position needs to be changed. Watching him in Granada, he doesn't have the instincts of a winger at all and his defensive mind is actually pretty good so I struggle to see why he was played there in the B team. He's more of an interior or dare I say it even a full back down the line.

Done deal. He'll initially sign for free with a sell on percentage for us but if they are promoted within the next 2 years they pay a transfer fee.

You want to start 32 year old West Ham reserve Yarmolenko? Are you trying to get us relegated?

Don't think he is holding on to his Barca contract just for money (even though its a big factor) but also, he knows as well as we do that after this contract there is nothing left for him in football and he'll probably have to retire. The regret and desperation would burn in me as well. Imagine...

5 words. Square pegs in round holes.

I don't think it's appropriate to say that to 'over 50 people' knowing your words will probably be leaked soon after. He is a club president not a fan, his words are important. As jamdav said above helps nobody and not the sort of thing a president should say publicly about a new young player.
