Morata has been shit for 90% of his career. The only reason why his career even took off was because he was standing in the right place at the right time for some shitty CL goals back in the day. Know who else looked great for Spain, Ferran Torres. And look how that has gone so far. I'd take...

He did nothing at City to warrant a sizable transfer fee. Interesting player nonetheless, we just paid double what we should have. He was young and Spanish, that's about it. Halfway through I was still positive he would clean it up a bit, adapt to the team more and improve his finishing...

Morten is a pretty reasonable poster, why kick the man when he's down? As a Barca fan, last thing I would do is laugh at another team because no one has been more laughable than Barca the past several seasons.

Like I've said several times in the past, back when LE and Pep was the coach, Barca had a top class backline and Xavi and Iniesta in their prime. Not to mention hardworking, pressing wingers while Messi was able to be lazy as false 9 at the time. Busquets always had the same severe...

It doesnt matter if Busquets is good at moving the ball around and blocking passing lanes, because he has never been good at anything else. He is slow and is caught out of position multiple times a game. Every big team we lose against targets and exposes him. Of course when we had a WC defense...

Busquet's level always relied heavily on Xavi and Iniesta. He had hard working wingers, fullbacks and two of the best CMs EVER pressing 90 minutes a game and holding 70% possession. He always had the same weaknesses, but our team shielded him from himself. Xavi or Iniesta could of gone to a top...

Xavi says we missed Busquets last game...I mean, he plays almost every game and our record has been shit the last few months. The midfield wasnt exactly cranking when he was around either. In fact our midfield was a mess until Frenkie started babysitting him every game so we'd stop getting...

Poor finishing can improve, if even by a little bit, it would be way more useful. He helps create for others too. He can't do that if he's playing 1 yard from the touchline all game. It's on Xavi to get the most out of the team and players. His current and only strategy is to have Demebele chuck...

First off, he's been terrible lately. With that said... It is quite evident he is NOT a wide winger and shouldn't be sitting along the sideline isolated all game. Dembele thrives more in that position, but even then he usually only makes things happen when he's closer to net and only has 1 man...

Yea I thought Xavi might finally be the coach we deserved. So far his tactics are shit and if he really said that about Busi then he's also straight up delusional. I'd also be looking for a way out if I was De Jong.

Most top players dont get better after 28. They stay the same or slowly get worse. Even Messi's level dropped dramatically after 28 compared to 21-26. Just because players can still play at a high level at 28 doesnt mean that they wont start to decline shortly after. We dont need players heading...

"Good" year is a bit generous. Taking on his man, banging in 9/10 bad crosses and failing to get shots on net is a pretty low bar. We can agree it would be nice to move on, if financially possible.

Like I've mentioned in the past, I dont think Riqui is anything special but some of you shitting on him is hilarious. I hate to agree with Bobo, but he does offer himself in much better positions than our other midfielders- meaning he creates triangles for passing lanes like the Barca of old...

Raphina on 3mil less a year than what Demebele is on now, while on a 5 year contract would almost make up for the 25mil fee. I would totally be on board for that. Raphina is a hard working player and there is nothing Dembele can do better than him. He'd do everything Dembele can do, but is...

Ramos isnt around anymore to carry him to CL titles.

Dembele cant even get a shot on net. Like I've said, the only reason to keep him would be that despite his wages, he'd still be cheaper than buying Rafinha with a fee and paying Rafinha's wages. We have so many vital positions to reinforce unfortunately. We need to be wise with our money.

He only ever looks impressive when Pedri is on the pitch. Lots of workrate and not much else. Very young at least, I hope he improves. Should probably ties his laces though.

Turning 28 this summer. Hard no. I would of loved to sign him back when City did, but they got his best years. We don't need older players, especially ones who just spent half a decade sprinting every game for Pep. Especially if it means trading or selling one of our only lucrative players to...

13mil gross, it's 6.5mil net or so. So similar to what we did with Kessie who was also on a free. Solid player. 2 year contract with 3rd year option is also good planning. Will make our right side respectable now, can spend more money on a young LB then look for a young RB next season if Dest...

Exactly. It happens every game. The worst part is that none of our midfielders are prolific (or even decent) scorers. None of them have AM traits to thrive in the space and make the most of these shitty tactics. Out of the players we do own, the two that WOULD thrive in that space, one is on...
