Yea but Alonso is almost as old as Alba and it's questionable whether he is more effective going forward and he is definitely worse on defense. I rather bring in 25mil for Auba and spend it on a younger, class LB or RB. We could survive with Alba and Balde this season. RB should be priority over...

The only thing that drives me crazy is watching us get knocked out of CL and lose countless games due to Busquets either being out of position or getting exposed by every top side. Xavi has loyalty to players he played with and Busquets is a close friend. There is no footballing reason why...

We've both explained it very clearly yet you keep using the same excuse. It's not up for discussion anymore. Xavi caters to Busquets. It doesnt work against top opposition. It barely even works against La Liga teams. It didnt work last season. It's not working this season. A team built around...

The point he is making is that it is kind of hard for De Jong to be considered a top CM when he is playing in a flawed system that is built around Busquets (I laughed out loud typing that because it's so fucking ridiculous). Not to mention last season he was not only babysitting Busquets, but...

I would like one of our fullbacks to be a well rounded, balanced player. He obviously needs to be able to attack as well, not strictly a defensive option. The other should be given free reign to attack, like Alves in the past. A dribbler who can take on defenders like Frimpong would be a good...

How is that any sort of point. I compared Dest being better for national team to Barca. I didn't mention Frimpong for national team at all. He plays great in Germany, for his club. He can do anything Dest can do, he's just faster and can do it better. If we could sell Dest for 20mil and bring...

Interesting comment. When was the last time you saw Dest dribble past, or even take on an opponent in the final third successfully? I can't remember either. Dest has offered very little other than fancy footwork going forward since joining, so not sure how they are the same. If his...

Frimpong has pace, dribbling and balls. He can beat defenders and get into the box. We havent had that since early Alves. Meunier is already 30 and he's average going forward and not great defensively. Flushing money down the toilet. At least you get someone who is effective going forward in...

Out of all the fullbacks I've researched the past few days and come across this summer- this kid is by far the most exciting. He has incredible pace and dribbling, better than all our wingers, even Dembele (who pushes the ball past defender and beats with pace, I dont consider this dribbling)...

This shit is hilarious. Why are so many of you stating "players are going well into their 30s!!!" Blah blah enough already. A small, handful of players keep up a high level in their 30s, but they are still DECLINING, slowly but surely. Even Messi, imo the goat, was not the same player at 28...

Meanwhile we are panic buying from a selection of bums. Weird that out of every position, they chose to ignore our weakest in both fullbacks (other than Busquets).

So modern CBs across the world all play like traditional Barca CBs now?! Wow, I've learned something new. Totally 100% accurate. 🙃

He doesnt need protection. He needs to be played as a CB because he's a CB, not a RB. You dont replace a young CB who's only weakness is being weak on the ball and long passes. A defender needs to defend first and foremost and he can do that, and he was free. People love Puyol but forget he...

Araujo is definitely not that strong on the ball, not shockingly bad, but it is his weakness. However, he is tall, fast, strong and good in the air. He reads the game decently and has the pace to get back during counters even if he is slightly out of position or to cover our of position...

Yea. Been saying since last season that Xavi's tactics are shocking for a player that played completely different from what he's designing the team to play. Isolated wingers, CMs not involved. Using a past it, overrated DM who has been nothing but average since Iniesta and Xavi were past it as...

Pedri, De Jong as DM and Kessie/Gavi is already a way better midfield. I would like to see either, but particularly with Kessie.

Haha. I mean, true. Sad, but perfectly said and true.

You call him useless yet he was our best midfielder last season, and he managed that while babysitting Busquets every game. He may have displayed that he isnt the best fit, but calling him useless etc only shows how clueless you really are.

I dont want Messi anywhere near the club. I thank him for his service, but I cant deal with watching him walk around all game during CL knockouts anymore. He doesnt provide enough anymore to make up for being that lazy. The other 3 will be decent pick ups though.

No one taking the number 6 jersey...hmm
