Pep : "Ferran to Barcelona? It is not official yet. It is close. When the club announce it, then it will be done."

Ferran Torres can't be registered without releasing some salary mass and Cou, Umtiti and friends probably won't leave, Dest seems like the only player who will get a decent fee that could leave, given he's not in Xavi's plan. Wouldn't be surprised if Bayern want him. Despite our hate towards...

Napoli that we'll face in EL went down 1-0 to Rei Manaj's Spezia (in 17th place) today, and that makes it three successive home defeats for them. It's one of the harder draws but they are in poor form and have had injury problems. We could progress.

Adeyemi is the opposite of someone 'proven'. Being proven at Prem and LaLiga level is as good as you can get most of the time, as opposed to Segunda B level Austrian Bundesliga.

The time has come where he really must look elsewhere or he will be out of football soon. 4 successive managers don't trust him and he hasn't played regular football since the B team. The game against Boca seems to have done nothing to sway Xavi and on a serious note, the best thing for his...

I think Lenglet is a easy sell, he has a market and on low wages but he's in the plans of Xavi it seems so that might not happen. Puig plenty of teams for a loan but might not have the desire to leave. Coutinho, Umtiti, Neto is harder as all on high wages and don't want to go.

Oh, I know, we probably won't even sell 2 of them (other than Demir and Luuk loan terminations). But one can dream.

Winter outgoings list : Puig (loan or sell) Coutinho (loan, sell, terminate) Umtiti (loan, sell, terminate) Lenglet (sell) Neto OR Mats (sell) Luuk De Jong (leave him in Seville) Demir (back to Austria) Dream Mercado. Get all these guys out and maybe you have funds for a good player.

It may not be his overall top clocked speed, it may be acceleration or agility but it looked like to me he's struggling to get round his defender after knocking the ball on. Have to look closer next game, I think others have commented on it as well. For example Dembele probably doesn't have top...

He seems a little slow. Might be because of the rain today but looked quite slow. Not slow in general but for a winger with his profile having good pace is kind of necessary and if you lack it it can be hard to go against the better defenders.

Don't think he will improve much if we put him at DM next game, he is getting the basics wrong and looks terrible physically. He should rest for the next few games as looks like he is struggling to take it mentally and physically, including if he does have something personal going on.

He has never played at anywhere near this level so he will make mistakes, but outright greediness was a bit sobering to see.

Motm.

Rafa Mir will cause Eric and Pique issues.

I think it's 10 games and then he can't go back. But when Braithwaite Depay and Fati come back he'll probably go back with the B so won't end up reaching that unless there'll be another injury crisis in forward. Xavi and Koeman have really screwed over Sergi, who has to rely on Juvenil A, all...

This one from Sport was hilarious : 'Dembele continued to lose ball after ball in his repeated attempts down the wing, so much so that the fans started to whistle and boo him' Like what... Or this gem from ARA : 'The Camp Nou loses patience with some sacred cows. Amongst the worst players...

https://twitter.com/Barca_Buzz/status/1473278328299732995 ' Martin Braithwaite and his family have joined hands with Youth Red Cross in different localities around Barcelona to collect donations and give away toys to more than 500 underprivileged children for Christmas.'

After the game against Elche where Dembele played one of the best games I've seen in a while from him, many outlets and journalists wrote bad about him and said we shouldn't renew him and it just made me wonder... are we watching the same game? I thought he was phenomenal and could easily ended...

Taking a while to renew. The club has Gavi/Araujo/Dembele renewals all in hand so a lot of capital will be spent renewing those guys. At 17 it doesn't seem to me given how good he's doing at Barca that he will want to move, he's much too young for that anyway, and he can build a great...

Well, as I'm sure we know, the situation of Moriba's transfer was a bit more... complicated. Including Barca fans flooding his inbox with racist abuse, calling him every racist name under the sun, and generally everyone calling him Moneyba and saying they hope his career fails and burns (many...
