Another bottom team, another set of points dropped. Granada, Cadiz, Rayo, Alaves... We are barely taking any points from these teams and sometimes at home too. Where are we getting our points from? And people actually think our squad is way better than Sevilla's... Lol. We will be in a fight...

I like Santi Ramos Mingo from B but his awareness is not good. Has a great physique and good aerial tho and decent with his feet, has been getting benched recently for poor performances however. Arnau Comas would seem like the natural solution but he hasn't improved much in these few years and...

He's not a player I'm that high on. Didn't get any minutes last season and only working his way into the lineup bc Balde is with the first-team. A player with a little flair and style to him but very raw in my opinion. Young at 19 tho and could improve a lot now he gets minutes. He doesn't go...

Alaves are a deep block team so the lineup does make sense for this game. This season we have really struggle against deep blocks (let's see if Dest helps, as Demir was playing last times against Granada and Cadiz) but wouldn't be surprised if we struggle for a bit. If we get the first goal we...

Don't blame the players for the wages they're on, blame the people who gave them the contracts and in the case of Roberto trying to renew them. It's not a player's fault they got offered a good contract and expect them to go somewhere else and make 80% less is just not how it works in football...

If Konrad stayed until preseason with all the outgoings and injuries he had he would been 100% involved in the first-team this year, but he left before all the drama with Messi and Griezmann happened. Gavi was not even on the radar of Barca B when he started with the firstteam. Granted he was...

Not many coaches can succeed in the terrible working conditions he was put in. He also seems to have a pretty good eye for talent as most of his 'bets' have turned out pleasant surprises. Other than that not a lot of good.

We spoke about Sanz in the B team thread before I think. If Barjuan didn't get the interim then he probably would never have got called up but he is a player who can be useful if he adapts to the level and reminds me a lot of how Roberto came through. Can play RB/CB and pretty much anywhere in...

They are not proper sources, it's blog websites where someone like you or me made a guess at the wages, vs a reputable news source like Goal or ESPN that has some inside info and Barca sources so they can make a credible guess or they might know it altogether as Goal did with Depay. Like you...

Well, when you consider there are many actual reputable sources who said Depay is on 90k a week and then Laporta mentioning he made financial sacrifice, that probably makes more sense for him to be on 90k a week than take some random website going against the grain saying he's on 250k a week lol

AS and ESPN say Coutinho's wages are around 20 million euros per year, 370K euros/310k GBP.

" People are asking 'How can we sign Depay, how can we sign Emerson, [Aguero and Garcia, if we can't resign Messi]?'. Because these are people that have accepted certain conditions on their wages, and we are thankful for that" - Laporta

If Aguero and Depay were on 500k GBP a week together it would been impossible to register them, the sum of Garcia/Emerson/Depay/Aguero wage burden came to 10 million euros + Pique's wage cut as stated by the club so it is impossible for those wages to be anywhere near the truth. Depay also took...

With the margin Barca had they couldn't offer Memphis anymore than 90k a week lol so I'd take everything from that source as bs

No CL mins and barely any Copa minutes. When you play as little as Puig has done those minutes matter (and Setien didn't call him up for the QF against Athletic or play him in any important CL games anyway, he actually sent him back to the B team a few times). 5 starts overall from January to...

Koeman actually gave him the most minutes out of the last 3 managers lol, Setien kept Riqui in the B team most of the time (apparently playing 500 minutes in a season is a starter now) Valverde did the same and gave 200 minutes, Riqui actually played 600+ minutes last season with Koeman And he...

Neymar, Messi, Mbappe, Ramos... to manage a dressing room with that many egos is borderline impossible. Tuchel recently said it himself, that half his job at PSG was babysitting and keeping the egos in line and that at Chelsea he doesn't have to worry about that. Now add another pair of massive...

\We have a very historically injury prone squad along with a ton of veterans so it probably isn't just the medical team (altho they have been responsible for many injuries)

Having a bad injury in one knee can cause the other knee to destabilise as well as it is taking more load than it should when running etc if your left knee didn't heal to full strength (What poor planning of the forwards department to have so many injury prone players. Depay, Aguero, Fati...

Nobody will write Koeman is right they will just switch their blame to Xavi and Puig will become 25 and still be called a kid
