Time will tell? This is Valverde's 3rd season here, I think it's fair to discuss it now. I don't know why you demand so little from the coach of one of the biggest clubs in the world, who has so many ressources and such a good squad. You should expect him to rise to the occasion and be a elite...

Arthur and De Jong give me hope for the future. Their talent on the ball will outlast even EV's limiting and destructive tactics. I don't care how many tackles Arthur make per game, his quality in possession and off the ball movement brings far more to this team than Vidal or Rakitic ever will...

He did really well, amazing have much he brings to the team offensively compared to someone like Suarez. I like him as a sub however, don't think we should put too much pressure on him just yet, and he shouldn't be relied on too much. As a sub, he'll still get minutes to develop without too...

Do you have a link to the interview?

He's from Croatia, so I doubt his real name is Michael. The writing style is also far from BBZ's. Those comments are too short, and don't contain any arguments or stats to backup their claims, which, no matter if you agree with BBZ or not, he always back up his claims. Even if it's with long...

This, + how he'll most likely slow our play even more down on the pitch with his ball-hogging and solo actions. Can't believe the effort our board is putting in to get him back. If only they'd been as determined to get a top coach and spent as much energy on a proper sporting project.

I agree that we have mostly played sterile so far, and surprisingly (under Valverde) we also played some somewhat dynamic football today. I don't agree that we still need Rakitic however. He scored something like 4 goals in la liga last season. And I don't care if he has a great shot a goal...

Hard not to be excited considering he's 16 years old. He seems to be a pretty complete winger for his age; He's quick, has good ball control, moved well, linked up well with the other players and he made a lot of good decisions. It was also a very good game to debut in, by the time he entered...

So, even professionals can se his talent and are noticing that he is improving his game in the final 3rd. Interesting.

At this point I don't see a reason to keep Valverde, and the sooner he leaves, the better. I don't care if the replacement is a 2nd or 3rd tier coach, they'll bring more to the table than EV. Lucho for example, is not a 1st tier coach in my opinion, but at least he had some strengths, like...

This. I honestly wouldn't miss anyone of them.

It's really tricky for a player like Puig I think. His style of play and abilities limits the amount of suitable teams IMO. A CB like Todibo, could go to most teams in La liga and become a starter. Puig, however, will have much better chances of succeeding in a team with a lot of possession...

Really hope we somehow, miraculously manage to offload Rafinha, Coutinho and Rakitic before the window closes. With this shit coward of a manager that we've got, they'll just take minutes from players with brighter futures. Valverde should put performances, talent and potential ahead of anything...

Odds are depressingly high.

I might have exaggerated a bit regarding dribbling to prove my point. True, he doesn't take on defenders 1v1 all the time. He is, however, quite skilled with the ball, and can dribble/carry the ball out of tricky situations and tight spaces way better than Rakitic. On the counters he isn't slow...

Honestly, I don't see too many similarities between Couthinho and Eriksen. They both have a great shot, are good dribblers and are attacking-minded, but that's also it. Eriksen, IMO, is a much more rounded player. Besides his attacking abilities, he could offer much more to our midfield than...

I'm from Sorø, an hour southwest of Copenhagen. What about you?

Hi fellow Culés, I´m a danish guy whos been a Barca fan since 2008. I was introduced to Barca because my Uncle have studied in Barcelona, but I soon fell in love with the club, the players, the history and the style of play. I have been a fan ever since, and my interest intensified even further...

Not saying that we should sign Eriksen, but in my opinion he would be an upgrade over both Coutinho and Rakitic, if here were to play in our midfield, not sure he would perform better than Coutinho at all if used at LW. But Eriksen has some attributes that could benefit us quite a lot: - He has...
