I really hope at least one of Rakitic/Busq will be sold. If they both stay Valverde will keep playing some form of that passive midfield wall without any attacking ambition. If we sell both, we could afford aMC replacement and rejuvenate midfield for the future, while also doing a step back from...

This guy would make a difference in our midfield..

I don t buy it. Messi meets with board and one of board members leaks this to the media and it ends up on some twitter acc? I don t think so. It doesn t benefit anybody in this story. In any case, if by any chance this stuff is true (seniors lobbying for Neymar s return), they should all be...

Twitter BS. If something like this would truly happen IRL, i would sell even Messi without hesitation. After that, the whole senior mafia.

This part is crucial and it shows the "quality" that is Valverde. Personnel vise we are not far from a fantastic squad, missing only two or three players (Griezmann, MF-a, FW). But in order to do this there would have to be big tactical changes and some players have to be sold and/or benched...

Depends on how much more money and also other factors. The point was, that it makes perfect sence for pro players to be interested in money and it shouldn t be held againt them.

Of course he is, wouldn t you be? Board has made an offer and they are sticking with it, even though he received better ones. So for him it s a choice between more money or club he supposedly wants to play for. He will be rich in both cases. I don t care which agent he has, the choice is...

No? Taking the ball to the box? Taking the final pass? Attack minded midfield player? Are these things not needed in Barca?

Yes and he fulfilled that destiny. Unless you think he is not unquestionably one of the best football players of all time.

So somehow,there was a point where he wasn t unquestionably one of the best ever anymore?:lol: He became better (agreed), but somehow he is not one of the best players ever? Does logic exist in the legacy debates?

Legacy bla bla bla bla Legacy talk is reserved for fans, pundits and insecure athletes. Individual trophies in teams sports are nothing more than a marketing scam.

Yeah there is something about that Ajax-Cruyff connection... Realistically ideal summer transfer market: Defense: For me DL is not a priority and if we get him, we should sell Umtiti for sure. LB backup---> Filipe Luis is fine and cheap. Midfield: Buying a-MC should be a must, but i m...

Ideal a-CM would be Eriksen. I would exchange him for Coutinho in a blink of an eye and i don t think this deal would be impossible. He has everything. DJ(Busq)-Arthur (Vidal/Roberto)- Eriksen (Alena) = Creativity + control + defensive output Tadic is awesome, but he is already 30 years old...

All risk is on us. He has has a good season, PSG buys him, probably (much) cheaper than what we paid. He doesn t have a good season, we are right where we started plus his value drops a lot more. Optimal solutions would be: 1. We sell him this summer and get 80% of the money back 2. We get new...

Yeah, you ve been repeating this for some time now and yet you didn t answer my questions. "Moments of brilliance" are covered by "odd mistakes". What matters is the stuff in between. I don t think his average play is good enough if we are going to re-design our midfield (5 years too late). He...

Wouldn t it be even better if Busq position was occupied by a mobile, athletic dude? That could be FDJ, if we also find a solid A-CM option. So why would you sacrifice mobility and speed in order to play Busq? Why does playing Busq on optimal level require so much maintenance and adaptability...

BS. Like i said in my earlier post, he deserves to be heard, but he can also be wrong, he is a (half)human after all. In this case he is wrong. It still isn t his fault if Valverde stays. He is not a decision maker. Because he backs his manager he should now be gone? Ffs what are you ppl...

Why would you want to get rid of him??! What the fuck has he done to deserve this bs you are displaying? Is it his fault that Barca employs a coach, who has no clue how to set up team play with him as a cherry on top? I m sure he would prefer to play in organized team with multiple attack...

Of course not. To be able to express wish or opinion is one thing. To be the actual decision maker is something completely different. That s board s job. Unfortunately board people often think and act as politicians, not as people who want the best possible results.

Why? What makes you think these two are worse than Valverde?
