'Sell Alba' what a fking joke from two of you here. Please guys let's be serious.

Sell Alba?! Crazy. He's world class and on top, it's important the club retains Catalan identity.

Ok fair enough the post weren't really aimed at you so sorry.

Yes but he's not signing is he, Spurs won't let him go. This is not Football Manager ffs, some of you just pulling hot prospects out your arse also. The re-building of this aged team needs to be taken absolutely fucking seriously otherwise we risk falling into a Man Utd style hole. More...

Vidal is EV signing though, he's synonymous with this nightmare era of cautious style that EV brought in. He has to go (Vidal).

Some silly posts in here. Son at Barca?? Will never happen, and he would not fit here. Griezeman is an immediate solution to CF but very uninspired. €100m for a 28-year old is very steep. If he was poached when he was 26 or younger he would have been perfect. But at his age he's only got 2 more...

Yes you are right, I said similar things earlier - this is the era of the great motivators; Klopp, Pep and Poch. Each of these, even if they don't have the best players in the world, get 100% out of their team, their players believe in them 100%, and they have their own vision and conviction of...

Klopp at Barca? No fucking way. I don't like his style of 100mph, low technique football, I don't care if he wins everything or how successful he is with it, it's not how Barca should play.

Quite frankly it's a disgraceful attitude to keep saying 'this player is not ready yet', the player will never be ready until you play them. We need a manager with the authority, vision and balls to play youngsters and forego the old veterans in the squad. Like I keep saying - look at the EPL...

Well of course aside from Pep the other two have won zero, it's certainly a different kind of pressure being expected to win something. Klopp will feel that more after he spent hundreds of millions since being there, Poch has spent comparatively fuck all so he still is free from that kind of...

Curious thing that in the Premier League, the traditional big clubs Manchester United and Arsenal seem to be on a terminal decline/malaise, respectively, and Chelsea too, what with their transfer ban until 2020 and managerial problems, won't be at the very elite level for a fair while. It's Man...

Klopp's instructions with the ball boys' is standard 'let's try everything we can', will-to-win attitude that the idiot Valverde does not possess, clearly. Any manager with intelligence and desire to win big matches like these will come up with some kind of plan instead of looking scared on the...

The team heartbeat is the midfield. Next year the team needs to be built around Arthur, De Jong and another technical young MF player on rotation with Busi. Alena needs to play, sell Coutinho and get a striker ffs, having only Suarez and Boateng is mad. I would like to see Umtiti develop...

That seems like a good route, but I don't think Bartomeu has the vision to go for him. Also, to be fair, Ten Hag prob doesnt speak Spanish and hasn't had enough time to prepare for a job of this magnitude. Question mark over his ability to win trophies too, as he's 49 and only won 1 Dutch Cup...

Yeah sorry passing possession football is not really what I meant, even though that is a personal dream of mine, I know it doesn't work any more without the supreme skill of Xavi (and a prime Iniesta to compliment). I should have made clear - we need to return to having the best midfielders in...

Yes that could work, they played together for a spell in Barca's midfield 2001-2003. I don't know what type of football his teams play though. It's imperative to go back to learning how to control the ball in tight spaces and retain possession.

Yes he speaks great sense. Barca created some good chances and some clear chances throughout the game (in order of play: Coutinho, Alba and Suarez, the latter two being clear chances to score). Like I said before, it is now impossible for the players to believe in EV, so he must be replaced.

Yes I feel he may do 1 year best case at Barca B then take over. But you never know, Bartomeu and the board may go to him for 1st team manager. You know I don't think doing 1 year as Barca B manager is such a great prep in any case, it's good to get to know La Masia players and take them into...

Guys, any ideas for who could replace EV and motivate the players? I'm thinking Xavi is the only one, get the players motivated again and to go back to the passing possession football that is in Barca DNA. He got his pro license to manage any team this month iirc. Aside from Xavi, I keep...
