We are into August and still barely any progress has been made on our wage cap, which we remain massively over. Javier Tebas says Laporta still hasn't asked him to change the rules to allow Messi to be registered and if we have to ask for an exemption to register Messi it would rightly be seen...

This is the sense I always had of him but I think he can offer decent depth as a midfielder. He has set piece talent & good technique and is willing to play on low wages. He shined more in the B where everything went through him and he had a ton of the ball.

Koeman is too reactionary as a coach. Everything is either love or hate. He saw 150 minutes of Demir against teams significantly weaker/weaker than Barca and decided Collado won't get any minutes over him straight away. He's probably more right than wrong in this instance, even if it is unfair...

I remember fine, which is why I said he got benched 3 games in. If you are only willing to afford someone 75 mins of preseason friendlies to decide their future at the club (which he got a goal in) you probably decided beforehand anyway.

This was the 3rd. If you've already been benched for a whole game 3 games into your first ever senior preseason then it's safe to say the manager doesn't have you in his plans. This would probably be the first time Koeman would get a proper look at Collado and he is not interested

Koeman didn't even give him a single minute. I think a straight transfer is more likely. I've never been a fan of Collado but I think the way the club treated him is pretty sad. 3 good seasons at Barca B, gets 'promoted' to the first team and isn't even given minutes in the preseason before...

It would have been absolute jokes if he scored in his first touch since coming on for a cameo

Manaj instantly gets a 1 on 1, good touch bad miss

Any manager who plays Barca's strongest XI in a friendly against a weaker team is dumb. It's pre-season, we know Griezmann and Depay will play a part next season, at least sub them off at 60 to let the youth show themselves, that's the point of preseason, to see if fringe players could make it...

Koeman has this terrible managerial habit of seeing a player a few times, fixating on them in a good or bad way and then either never gives them a proper chance again or has absolute faith in them. I have never been the biggest fan of Collado but it's very unfair after 3 good seasons in the...

If we give Braithwaite/Pjanic/Umtiti minutes I'll be disappointed. We shouldn't give them a minute more than is necessary, they aren't impressing when playing either

Defense not looking great, can't help but feel if they had their star 20 goal man Kaladjzic maybe we concede a goal in the 1st.

'Ronald Koeman has given the approval for the continuity of both Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho, and only a big offer would see their departure. • Coutinho has the backing of Koeman who considers him a profitable player in every way' (AS) Who are we kidding? We'd let Coutinho go for...

Koeman wants to count on both Griezmann and Coutinho. The two players will stay unless a very high offer arrives. The coach believes they can be very important this season. [sport] The board are getting a bit desperate now, this is probably the most transparent bluff in history. With Coutinho's...

Braithwaite would struggle to score a goal in the PL him and Kun cannot be in the same sentence

My head could not compute that Braithwaite sells for 3x the fee of Manaj. I think we are struggling to find a buyer for free.

'As MD has learned, Braithwaite has the confidence of Ronald Koeman and will only accept a proposal to leave if it is an interesting sporting project and they offer him a higher salary than what he earns now' Honestly this guy is unbelievable. He has a nearly 300 mill net worth and refuses to...

There has been many fake rumours about Barca transfers and moves recently, a month ago they said Pjanic to Juve was practically sealed, this week we found out Juve never had any interest (Fabrizio). This Braithwaite 15m stuff has been rumoured for months now and there's been nothing concrete...

There's no way this happens. 15m for a 30 year old overpaid Braithwaite coming off 4 consec seasons of poor form, who over at West Ham thinks it's a good idea?? He definitely won't say 'ok'. Although on the off chance there is any truth to this West Ham are a pretty rich club so they could...

We're going into August now and Braithwaite's future still isn't clear. Multiple reports from the last few weeks had indicated he was fine with leaving and had a lot of interest but now that seems to just be gas put out there by Laporta. I mean what absolute idiot Dof or CEO is sanctioning a 15m...
