    I get he was joking but I actually think its a good idea

    6 - Gavi

    Do they? This would actually be a fantastic idea if properly organised. During their off time or when they are recovering from training/matches/rehab, they could practise simple football concepts in VR without having to physically exert themselves. The physics would have to be properly...

    Joan Laporta

    LaLiga michael AKA Michael Cerna is a whore, if I saw him I wouldn't ask him to fight because he's not a real man, I would just slap him and remind him how much of an intellectual prostitute he is.

    Joan Laporta

    It's a difficult situation but we shouldn't act like it was a massively desperate situation and we couldn't possibly survive. It wasn't that bad and there were always many options to take to build our finances back. With that said, he also benefitted hugely with a lot of luck from La Masia, it...

    11 - Raphinha

    He is good at creating seperation off the ball. If you let him oppose his marker off the ball and create space with his running, he can do it, and he'll often be open. The problem is the ball slows him down a lot, he is really much slower with the ball than he is without it. So it's best to let...

    Even if you think dribbling is a peasant syndrome or dribbling skills are only aesthetic, it is still a massive skill for wingers and one of the main ways they can create positions, it's the nature of the role. Wingers are often coming up 1v1 against defenders or on the touchline so having good...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Honestly, 50m for Lewa wasn't that bad considering what he's brought the team, he's been a good striker and helped us win a league title. The main issue with his transfer was the fact that we surrounded him with very old players, as you can't rely on having so many old players, now he's got...

    11 - Raphinha

    I agree that Raphinha has been a better asset for the club, but it doesn't mean Dembele was poor, they are both great players. Dembele just had severe injury issues. I think Raphinha is somewhat worse technically, but he is much better than Dembele in the physical and mental sides of the game...

    That's so wrong. Dembele's last season here was class, he didn't get to finish the season the way he'd like due to injury. Dembele under Xavi in LaLiga : 6 goals and 20 assists in 2826 minutes. Whatever you think of Raphinha, you can't bend reality to suggest Dembele was bad in his last season...

    11 - Raphinha

    It's purely revisionist to suggest he was better last year than Dembele was under Xavi. Dembele under Xavi looked like a real superstar, I remember some games where he ran the opposition absolutely ragged. Just because he had a poor injury record does not mean he was bad when he played, two...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I wouldn't mind him as a backup in his later years if the overall money/cap hit is the same. Maybe they agree to extend him with the salary divided. It would be useful to have him in case of injuries in that last year and to play some league games.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    It seems obvious to me that if he had really offered to reduce his wage Laporta would have accepted immediately, and if he didn't, he's being negligent with club finances. After all, the club has been harassing numerous players to reduce their salaries for a long time now. Maybe he wanted to...

    They didn't say lowering the wage specifically but Laporta said that he offered to adjust his contract to help with the signings, I assume that meant deferral or extension or something.

    Frenkie de Jong

    If he has to get surgery someone should be sacked. It's been 3 or 4 months now of him rehabbing.

    Victor Osimhen

    Osimhen ending up in Turkey is partially a problem of his own creation, he couldn't decide and was demanding higher wages and then the transfer window closed. But surely, this is a great opportunity for us to secure our future 9.

    Fernandes is a pick and mix, a lottery, you never know what you'll get when he's on the ball. For world class players and attacking players more specifically, 99% of the time, you need production AND general play, you need to be effective and efficient whilst also scoring goals and making...

    Manchester United

    It depends relative to what. I think they are great players in a general sense, but if you're comparing them to a world level or amongst Arsenal, City, Madrid etc, then they are very average. Certainly, they are not that good that you can hinge your attack on kicking long to them and praying...

    Manchester United

    MADRID have the best attackers in the world, that's the key difference, but also as you said, they are perfectly capable of controlling games against worse opposition and generally just better. But United's transitional ability isn't outstanding, it's not like their attackers are all...
