Well, they are in talks for a new contract so it makes sense him not being happy with the direction the club is heading towards. I don't blame him though. He is one of the leaders and top performers in a declining team and he wants to win titles.

Success on a national basis. Guardiola never managed to win a CL away from Barcelona. His style is great for championships but not for knock-out ties. He is a great coach, I rate him highly. Valverde was winning championships too, but people were not happy with our recent CL-record. Guardiola...

Here is an article about Dembélé, where training in Barcelona gets heavily criticized. It mentions that Dembélé should train like a sprinter, because that's 90% what he does in a game. The clinic in Doha has the GPS data of Dembélé's games and training sessions and say that sprinting is only...

Don't think so either. IIRC they have to pay all bonuses to Dortmund if they sell him during his first contract. This can easily be 25M and his market value will be low after being injured for a whole year.

I'm not really a fan of him since he has no notable experience. We don't know if selling/loaning some players were his decisions though. Maybe it was an economical decision by the board which is not his fault.

Imagine playing 60 minutes against slow Rakitic and then Arthur comes on. Our bad squad management leaves Setién without impact subs on the bench if you play Arthur and Fati. And Fati is a 17yo teenager without experience at this stage. Tells you a lot about the job they did in planning if you...

Napoli has 6 wins in the last 7 games. They are in good form lately and have beaten Juve, Lazio and Inter. Napoli steps up in big games and they'll be a pain in the ass today. I'd be happy with a draw with at least 1 away-goal. Luckily, Koulibaly will miss the game.

Might have missed out on this one. Maybe it's not that hard to stand out in that shitty United - side, but given the circumstances (new league, no pre-season, underperforming team) he had a strong start in his new chapter. Very positive player (confident, but not arrogant), taking risks...

While sitting in his regular seat the Nou Camp to watch the Catalan club's 5-0 victory over Eibar, Bartomeu was completely unaware that the badge of their fierce rivals had been placed in front of him for the whole game. lol

Never not scoring.

Technically not that gifted, so he will struggle in tight spaces. Eibar was a very favourable side and were very weak defensively. However, he is strong and pacey and can be useful when his teammates use his qualities in the right way. His mentality is also great and that's something this team...

I couldn't agree more. There is no room for nostalgia in this business.

I think we desperately need a new number 9, but we don't have a winger. Suárez, Griezmann and Messi all are roaming in the center of the pitch so it might be smarter to sign a winger and a quality CB this summer and a #9 in summer 2021. Can't repair everything in one summer after making mistakes...

Of course, but this happens when you think you can save money in the wrong place. Club had to pay a high price for this mistake.

Sport reported it some days ago. Club had a deal in place with Angel but Setién felt we need a more versatile player. edit: https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/barcelona-had-deal-in-place-for-getafes-angel-worth-an-initial-6-million-7853091 I understand Setién. We had 3 players for 3 positions...

In regards to another name linked with a move to Barça, Leo gave his opinion on his countryman Lautaro Martinez. "He's spectacular. He's got a lot of impressive qualities. I can see he's going to become a great player, he's exploded onto the scene now and is showing what he's capable of. He's...

Messi: "Right now, I don't think we're good enough to win the Champions League. We have to continue growing." [md]

Setién was the one pushing for him so he will get opportunities. He definitely has some qualities and we'll make use of it. Even Boateng looked quite decent when he played for Las Palmas. He deserves a fair chance and the circumstances of this transfer are not his fault. Abidal and the board...

Well, at least he can sing and is a good dancer. <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/F8nhYfhX1w8ms" width="366" height="480" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/sexy-chris-brown-breezy-F8nhYfhX1w8ms">via GIPHY</a></p> Probably more...

People keep repeating Haaland did only cost 20M which is a false information. It was 45M. 20M for RBS, 15M for Raiola and 10M for Erling's father. Yes, he will be worth the money, but there was not a single chance for Barcelona to sign him.
