    Lionel Messi - v7

    Yeah, I get what you're saying. I would start griezmann if we had a goalscoring LW like neymar or mane and griezmann could do a role similar to firmino at Liverpool, but unfortunately we don't. It's unfair on fati to expect him to score on a regular basis playing LW, when griezmann can't playing...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    That's a fair point. I agree that the team looked better when griezmann played CF, but we were impotent. He didn't look like scoring. This team badly needs goals, however bad Suarez's overall game is, he gets a goal or two.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    If you believe everything that comes out on Messi, that he runs the club, chooses which players to buy, picks the team, does the tactics. Why have we hired more personnel when one man can do everything. Might as well sack bartomeu and setien as Messi is running the show As for pushing for his...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I think people believe that he has more power than he really has. If you believe those reports then you should believe the one that came out the other day, that he's fed up with being blamed for everything and wants to leave. As bad as Suarez is, at the moment he's still our best CF. Griezmann...

    6 - Carles Alena

    At least he is still young and can improve. He needs to improve his football intelligence, but it isn't easy to do it. The ones that do it, usually become one of the best. Riqui seems to already have a better football IQ than Alena. For me it's the most important thing when playing for Barca. It...

    6 - Carles Alena

    I've been disappointed by Alena as well, he hasn't really progressed since his Barca B days. I'm not even sure what his position is. He seems to have his head down too much and doesn't have the awareness for a midfielder and he's a bit too slow to play RW

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I laugh at some of the posts about rebuilding. I'll tell you this, good luck with that under this board. We have to hope the next board/coaching staff are competent as they are not going to have a messi to bail them out.

    Antoine Griezmann

    Seen a report on Sport today that Juventus are in talks with us about doing a swap with griezmann for Douglas Costa and rabiot. Coming back for more after ripping us off in the Artur/pjanic deal. If this deal happens, Messi should leave asap

    Has anyone been watching betis? Has Alena even been playing? Can't see how he will get into our midfield if he can't get into the betis team

    Samuel Umtiti

    It's probably a blessing, too bad the league is lost. I know it's bad to feel this way about your own player, but it would have been better for us if he stayed injured. Cost us the win against Celta. A complete liability these days

    Need to replace the armband with a bandage lol

    Lautaro Martinez

    I know he is overpriced, but that is the current situation of the market. We badly need a new striker, whoever we go for will be overpriced unless they have a low release clause

    Lionel Messi - v7

    If he wants to leave, he has earnt the right to leave when he wants. He would do well at psg with mbappe and neymar. Hell, he would do well with mbappe and neymar at Barca. It's tough when the next best attacking options are a washed up Suarez and a 17 year old fati

    Lautaro Martinez

    We actually need this guy at the moment. Suarez is finished

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I'm pretty sure the clause that lets him leave for free is, if it's to a club in a non top 5 league in Europe. Xavi and iniesta had the same clause. It's why they moved to Qatar and Japan

    Neymar Jr.

    Neymar definitely lacked rythm when he came back, he was just starting to play well before everything was stopped. I thought the people in charge were too hasty in cancelling ligue 1. I'm sure covid has been dealt with much better in France than in the UK

    Neymar Jr.

    😄 Seriously though, this is a really good chance for psg to win CL. Especially with the one legged format as they seem to suffer from 2nd leg collapses like us. He would then be favourite to win the ballon dor. The only reason he moved in the first place

    Antoine Griezmann

    Honestly, we paid twice the value coutinho and griezmann are worth. They are not world class. Liverpool went to another level when they sold coutinho and he's flopped at bayern. Griezmann isn't suited to a team like Barca. He's a hard working defence minded forward, that's why he did well with...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He obviously isn't as good as he used to be, but come on guys he doesn't need to adapt and be more like Ronaldo. We could have won the treble the last couple of years if had a bit more help. Where Ronaldo is only expected to the main goalscorer of his team, Messi has been expected to be the main...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    It's not as simple as Messi not dropping deep and the problem will be fixed. Sometimes he needs to drop deep for the team to even make a chance. I reckon he doesn't trust any of the midfielders to have the quality to create/playmake. It's just a massive shame the midfielders we have don't even...
