Makes sense for the reason instinct posted, but damn, end of an era if true.

Of course they wouldn't and couldn't admit it before his release clause kicks in, and probably not before it expires. When that is, nobody knows, but if we combine the information from various media, it should be sometime between February and March. That explains why Bild expects Reus to make a...

He also mentioned MAtS or Masip playing la liga, so if that happens, playing Bravo in the CL won't make any more sense than playing MAtS there + in the copa does now. Seeing how our lineups have worked this season I don't see LE's quotes about what he'll do starter-wise as much of an indicator...

Much too young; RIP

Yeah, definitely just a stunt by Barto & co to save their own faces present fans a worthy scapegoat, but I still think it's better they do it now than at the end of the season. Had they done it in the summer, people would probably have been content with this step and blame the entire season on...

Relevant abstract from the Bild article "According to Bild information Reus has been taking lessons from a Spanish teacher for three weeks. Ter Stegen, his friend from his time at Gladbach, did the same - and went to Barcelona. Internally Reus raves about Barcelona time and time again. The...

Ter Stegen; Douglas, Bartra, Mathieu, Adriano; Samper, Rakitic, Iniesta; Rafinha, Munir i Pedro

Or KHR is more wicked than anyone thought and just drops these statements to make foreign clubs nervous and raise their wage offers for Reus to convinve him of not joining Bayern, increasing the chance of him leaving and thus BVB being weakened... On a more serious note, before this BVB BuLi...

Had a look through the printed kicker edition, and the interview is there. Didn't read it in detail but from what I gathered, the statements on twitter were cherry-picked and seem a lot more negative than the interview as a whole was. He was e.g. asked whether he had doubts about having joined...

Or the numerous occasions where they failed to give him any kind of rear cover when he was attacked by the press, the target of campaigns etc. When the press was ripping him apart because of the alleged contract renewal demands the board didn't defend him but instead added oil to the fire with...

Since we're nitpicking now, Messi was 24 the season he "scored 50 league goals". He turned 25 in June '12. And the number 22 was only mentioned in response to your "Messi under Guardiola" claim, and he was 22 under Guardiola (09-10).

RIP, certainly not forgotten. Good guy and good gk.

What is this obsession with players not being "Barça quality" after having played only a handful of games here anyway? I can understand it when talking about S. Roberto and I admit Rafinha hasn't been great but I just don't get the standards or expectations behind this idea. We became so great...

If we hurry up we could still try to nick Moyes from Sociedad.

I'd still say no. He's obviously failed in these last few games from a tactical and selection point of view and I don't really have hopes in him leading us to a treble or anything, but I'm not convinced he can't learn from this and rather than sacking coaches as soon as things go wrong...

Poor Sunyol was posting patatas for Tata last season, wonder what would be an allegorically fitting food picture for Lucho? Nothing edible as it stands :eusa_think:

Pretty much. I wonder whether Lucho battling it out with the press will have any (desirable) effect on the press's reflection on the board though. Martino was easier to be picked upon because he wasn't really seen as unisono with the board, at all, while Lucho is, from what I've seen, perceived...

Suárez Xavi Alba

Exactly the reason why Suárez, playing bad or not, should start if we want to rely on him as a part of a functioning attack in the bigger games. The clásico or CL game against PSG and the likes aren't exactly the ideal platform for him to regain his form and form an understanding with Messi &...
