A Clasico on a better training ground will be weird to watch. I hope the players don't forget about the importance of the game without the atmosphere of a big stadium.

Damn. From bad to worse. Casemiro will have nine lives.

I think I can calm you down a bit. Araujo recently said in an interview that they made mistakes and he started too early because he wanted to help the team. The physical/medical team is aware of that and they are taking it more slowly this time like seen last weekend. I think it is the same with...

It's good to test the waters. After him being injured in his first 3 seasons Barca has a case to demand to lower his salary. The pandemic is another good reason. We all know that his agent will come around with an offer from United like Umtiti did when he wanted a raise. Both sides have...

1380101675134894084 Now we know why Griezmann has so much energy and is hardly ever injured. He only fucks in offseason and is on semen retention the rest of the year. Elite mentality :boss:

I couldn't agree more. Got totally dominated by the PSG midfield in the first leg. In the return leg, it was the opposite. 3-4-3 is the way to go against a team with a strong mid. That way Busi's weaknesses don't get exposed as much and he can play with his strenghts. Mingueza + wingback besides...

This. The clubs finances are fucked up for 2 reasons: - Barto fucking up and doing stupid things like signing Griezmann when there is no need for him, calculating on the edge. - The pandemic. Once everybody had the chance to get vaccinated, tourism and stadium situation will relax. And if...

Can't be. Spanish referees are not allowed to referee a game on an European Level in which a Spanish team takes part. IIRC the referee in the first leg was Dutch. Kuipers is the one coming to my mind.

His main problem is that the situation of injuries has improved, especially at the back. However, definitely deserves more time and now that we at least partially have switched to wingbacks he should get a shot. This formation is the one he thrived at when at Betis, which made the club's...

Looks like the club has put all of its focus to get a number 9. Doubt they'll still go after him now that Koeman is playing Ilaix regularly. Out of Garcia, Depay and Wijnaldum the latter will be the last priority and I doubt Depay is the number 9 they are putting their focus on. It is more...

He rarely gets caught offside and is really smart with his runs for someone who gets called dumb all the time.

And here are people who don't want the club to renew his contract. Didn't make sense before today and doesn't make sense after today. He is far from perfect, but we must stick with him now that he finally got rid of being injured 90% of the time. Contract extension is a no-brainer, even more so...

La Bomba.

Good luck benching Messi at home against Valladolid after being rested for 2 weeks. Don't want to be in Koeman's place if things go wrong that way. Koeman already stated more than once that he doesn't care about suspensions or injuries, as someone else will play who has all of his trust to do...

Araujo went from best defender of the team to being benched by Lenglet and Mingueza. Crazy, but I can't really blame Koeman as this formation worked really well.

Games after an international break always have been an issue. However, the match being played on a Monday is bit of an advantage. I hope the team didn't lose momentum during the international break. Valladolid did well in recent games and should not be underestimated. I expect the team to go...

His next club will be a big fish and even if he doesn't get a reasonable release clause (remember Neymar!) he'll have enough time to join a Premier League or La Liga club at the age of 26/27. I can imagine he visions a Ibrahimovic type of career in less extremes, aiming to play in every top...

As long as we don't know the exact numbers it is hard to decide which option is better. Remember, release clauses have to be paid in one installment while negotiated fees usually get paid over a longer period of time.

This. The release clause was a condition for him to even sign that contract with Dortmund. Without release clause, no Haaland for Dortmund. Manchester United for instance, didn't want to meet this demand and therefore didn't get him.

They are listening to all offers from interested clubs and are sounding out their projects. Maybe Laporta is planning to get him in 2022. We'll find out sooner than later. Raiola needs to be prepared for everything. I highly doubt Erling wants to stay at BVB if they don't qualify for CL. Of...
