Deflected tbf

Alba with his second stupid pass across the box.

This is not how it works when Private Equity invests in a corporation. CVC believes that LaLiga has an untapped value and that they can maximize it. Liquidity injections of that kind are for improving the "product", making it more attractive. Of course they would want 10% of the pie, but the pie...

Looks like he found a way to get out of Messi's shadow lol

He'll very likely hold the traditional club's captain speech at the Joan Gamper trophy on Sunday.

Here is what Ilaix' father said in an interview in March. https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/exclusive-with-ilaix-moribas-dad-on-barcelona-stars-contract-renewal-11577553

Umtiti back to full fitness would be the best that could happen to Barca's defensive woes given that the club has no money to buy a quality defender. Big Sam was a beast in his (Barca) prime and him and Araujo could form a physically threatening central defence. However, I fail to believe Umtiti...

Laporta said yesterday that there won't be a problem in registrating already signed players. He hopes that financial fair play can be extended so they can add some other signings.

The friendly against RB Salzburg will be an interesting one. They had already two games in Austrian Bundesliga, winning their second one 7-1. Their season preparation is already completed while Barca is still in the build-up phase. Their run- and pressing-intense game will be the biggest test...

Will be very interesting to see how the RB-situation pans out. From what I've seen (not a lot) so far, Emerson is not typically "Brazilian" going forward, but very solid defensively. He's also rather tall and physically strong, which might help defending standards. Dest is still very young...

Thought he'd play more as a #9 than on the wing, but it is already a big plus to have someone who makes smart runs behind the opposing fullbacks and knows how the offside rule works. We didn't have that since Ansu got injured.

Pre-season or not, pure class how he pre-set up that goal.

To make it at a club like Barcelona is also a lot about mentality. When it comes to confidence he has a lot in common with players like Suarez and Neymar. Contrary to "soft" boys like Coutinho. Not gonna say Memphis is of the same quality as Ney and Suarez, he isn't, but he can bring some...

His output will improve when he doesn't have to cover and run for Busquets anymore. Same applies to Frenkie.

Allegri rates Pjanic though, which is a big advantage for Barca.

There is some truth to it what Dybala once said, that him and Messi can't play in the same team. How right he was. Good that they've kicked him out of the national team. No wonder they finally won something without him and Higuain being around. Dybala, Coutinho and James are of the same mold...

He has his talents, no doubt. Pacey wingers and physical #9's will have their way with him.

I also think he could be useful. All in all he is a financial disaster though. Club's most expensive transfer ever. 3rd highest salary. If he plays another 10 games for the club, club will have to pay millions of add-ons. Market value plummeted to 30M. Still a rather high value in the books.

The guy behind Messi looks like Alba.
