Roberto turned into an injury-prone player in those last 1,5 seasons. Last season he has missed 37 games and this season 28 games already. Club really shouldn't offer him more than 50% of his current salary. An allrounder and master-of-none should glare with availability and Roberto is failing...

Club paid a combined ~37M for Digne and Firpo which was pretty pointless as Alba played perceived 95% of the games. What's the point in getting Tagliafico for a few months? I get it, Balde is very raw and not as conscience-proof as those other talents in the squad, but he'll be enough for those...

That's exactly what is weighing heavily on fans minds. However, Koeman also was saying how Barca is using FDJ wrongly when he was coach of the Netherlands. Even though FDJ had his best phase at the club when Koeman was here, he couldn't really keep it up for more than 2 months on a regular basis.

We lack swag, drip and flair without him and Memphis.

Mes que un club died when Ro$ell took over. Then his close pal Bartomeu continued this way. There is no way back now after the state Bartomeu has left the club in. Laporta's hands are tied.

French media was reporting that no one has made him an offer yet. Catalan media was reporting that Bayern and United have shown loose interest in him some weeks ago. I doubt Bayern is still interested after Coman has finally extended his contract. I also wonder why United would want him...

Nico might be the better choice as Busquets' replacement.

Only 50% wage cut because more is not possible due to Spanish work law (or was it La Liga rules?). :coffee: That's still more than Ferran, Ansu and Pedri earn after their new contracts signed. New board is introducing a new salary scheme and Dembele has to fit in if he wants to stay. If club...

True, but he has rarely shown something that suggests he'll be an active winger dribbling past players. He is more about making smart runs and receiving the ball in dangerous positions. Similar to Pedro. I can see why Pep used him as a #9. Like I said when Barca bought him: His ceiling as a...

That's the efficiency we've been missing all season. Has the tendency to disappear on the wing which was evident when you compare him with Nico Williams on the other side but we already knew that.

Literally the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Lenglet. He didn't want to be the worst CB at the club.

Memphis has discomfort and trained individually.

Stupid if true. Bilbao is a huge game for the club and really could have used him against them. That's the wrong game to play hardball. It's not as if Dembele is playing badly and not focused on the pitch. If you want to punish him, do it before the Alaves game. Club really should be handling...

Good, he is playing for a contract. No matter if he wants to stay or go, it can only be good for Barca if he's highly motivated to prove his worth.

In the end it doesn't matter what Dembele demands and what Barca offers. It is obvious that the expectations of the two parties are too far apart and that everything points to a goodbye. Actually reminds a lot of the topic Alaba and Bayern, which also looked like a neverending story until Bayern...

As much as I dislike the direction the newspaper Sport has headed recently, it's not so far-fetched to bring this up for a player that has missed 102 (!) games due to injuries in 4,5 years. He'd better sign a contract with his new club before he gets injured again instead of playing the time game.

German Pay-TV station SKY is thematising Haaland to Barca heavily. Summarized, that's what they said: - Barca wants Haaland at any cost - Barca "needs" Haaland - Barca is selling him the idea of building the CL winning team of 2025 Ansu (22) - Haaland (24) - Torres (24) Pedri (22) - De Jong...

Imagine you're so bad that your injury really is a non-factor for your teams' success.

No hard feelings. Use him as long as you need him/is the best option. No point on putting a player on high wages in the stands without sporting reasons. It was stupid to expect him being loyal after what he did at his prior clubs. It's his right to go after money and tbh I doubt he'll stay...
