Playing a traditional front 3 with Messi is already difficult. Adding Griezmann to the mix makes it even more difficult. Depay at least can play a Henry/Villa-type a role as winger. Ansu is a big question mark and the club needs to be prepared for everything. In the best case Depay turns out to...

Agreed. They probably talked more about Cruyff-style than a formation itself. Koeman was said to explain that he played the way he did due to the players at his disposal. The pair spoke about which players could come that would lead to Barcelona playing a different style of football...

Both goals were class.

He has my respect alone for how he bounced back after that cruciate ligament rupture.

Poor dude has been injured for so many seasons that he doesn't even know anymore how long a regular season is.

True. He has some flashy skills, but all in all he was very underwhelming when he played as a wingback and had more freedom going forward. The outcome was very slim for a player whose forte is going forward.

He won't cost much and trying him out for a season is a no-brainer. You can still regain the money invested in him one year later . Can't afford a top quality-RB anyway. Not that any club would be willing to sell. If CatRadio is to be believed (they seem pretty reliable when it comes to the new...

Didn't see much of him, but my impression was: On the offensive part of the game he doesn't look impressive and not like a Brazilian. His crosses were better than those of Dest though. On the defensive part he looked very strong. Untypically for a fullback very good in aerials. Also good at...

Signing new players puts pressure on players in the squad, no? It is easier to tell them there won't be a spot in the squad for them when their replacements are already signed. I like Laporta's offensive approach, but we'll see if he manages to offload the deadweight. Given that all of those...

Interesting. Araujo himself said otherwise: “I am very happy to be in Barcelona, ​​I hope to be there for many years and give my best in each season. I have one more season left on my contract, which runs until 2022; I still do not know the issue of renewal, my representative is in charge of...

Assuming that he stays injury-free: Would you even bet that Griezmann outscores him? I wouldn't.

Still think it was the right decision to let Suarez go. He was toxic for the chemistry in the dressing room and he wouldn't accept getting benched without making a fuss. He undoubtedly would have helped in some games, but if he stayed his contract would've been automatically extended for 2 years...

Haaland is a market opportunity with his 75M buyout and Barca will go all-in next summer. Aguero is a decent stop-gap and I'd rather have him in the squad than another season without a #9. Those past-their-prime players can be a great addition to any squad if you use them properly. And by...

Contract until 2023 according to different sources. Nothing official from the club yet.

He only got a contract until 2022. I know he truly loves this club and doesn't want to leave, but still, his contract extension has to be a priority once club's finances are figured out.

I guess they are a cup team the same way Pep's teams are league teams. Will be interesting to see though next season with a stronger Liverpool too.

Every system has its enemy. Prime Barca also struggled hard against Chelsea/old Inter type a sides.

And people here facepalmed when Barca was rumoured to be interested in Rudiger. Always thought he had the right tools.
