I did not see that "imaginary" lack of "football intelligence" at Rennes nor Dortmund. After a 2017-2018 season where he spent more time getting fit than playing, Deschamps did not drop him either for a stacked France team. He keeps using him to this day. Him getting late or not turning up...

I disagree completely in regards to Dembélé. The main problem of his have been the many injuries that he has suffered from, lack of continuity whatsoever, "club de amigos" seeing him as a foe (Suárez in particular) rather than a friend that needs all the support on and off the field, and...

The problem is that we likely won't be good even on the short run. How exactly is any manager, let alone a "manager" (lol) like Malmierda going to fit a 33 year old past it dinosaur like Suárez, a 32 year old Messi that is anarchic and does mostly as he pleases as our entire playing style is...

No doubt about that. In typical Rosell/Bartomeu fashion the idea behind winning the CL does not translate to a successful Cruyff sporting model, an actual manager at the helm of the club, a clear and defined sporting project but mostly buying attacking "Galácticos" (preferably Brazilian) and...

We don't disagree at all. I have probably been the most vocal critic of this current board ever since 2010. I saw all of this coming (unfortunately) years ago. Warned about it on this very forum. Us winning the triplete back in 2015 did not change my mind for a second. See post 4796 in the...

Unfortunately I cannot see any scenario of Dembélé staying (he has already been grossly mismanaged for 2 years, zero continuity, zero development by large and less confidence than when he arrived) at the club if the past it dinosaur (Suárez) stays, Messi (is a given that he will stay) similarly...

Absolutely incredible that this fraud of a player, past it dinosaur and entitled member of "club de amigos" has not been told to pack his bags yet. Let us all pray that some club will be stupid enough to buy him and that he and his wife can be convinced to leave Spain. Him joining Man Utd in an...

He is probably repeating what I wrote a few days ago and what practically every local source is saying. Cardoner's public comments made the "secret" into an open secret if anyone was ever in doubt. The only question left is how much the board is willing to shoot themselves in the foot in order...

If the board had any sense (they have not as clearly proven since 2010 time and time again) Suárez would be told to pack his bags and find another club. That and getting rid of the "club de amigos" clan that is running the club from within. Ideally he should take Rakitic's hand (another...

Football intelligence and intelligence as a whole are two completely different things. Maradona, Ronaldo and Messi being prime examples of that to mention a few along with the majority of all footballers in fact. Dembélé might be as dumb as a doorknob but there is no way that he is dumb in terms...

The sections being invested in (what makes Barça such a great sports club if not the greatest) is absolutely fundamental. However as you point out years of neglect and suddenly "waking up" just highlights the fact that not only the football team but likewise the basketball section (much more so...

Ronaldinho's peak occurred much earlier than Neymar's current age (27). Ronaldinho was at his best from 2002-2006. Reaching his peak (contrary to popular belief) in 2005 rather than the year after. At least individually. Neymar is a great player, top 3 without a doubt IMO, and I do actually...

Have a very hard time believing that this current board (that have neglected our basketball section criminally) would be able to not only land a player like Mirotic but Cory Higgins, Brandon Davies and most likely Álex Abrines as well. That would probably make us instant favorites for the...

Good to see what looks like the end of the Warriors dynasty after 5 years of dominance and 3 rings. Durant joining them in 2016 was like using cheat codes. Not exactly sad that they did not manage to follow in the footsteps of the most recent three-peat team. That Lakers team (00, 01, 02) will...

There are plenty of fish in the sea. By no means the end of the world. FDJ was a much more important and strategic transfer. In particular given our aging midfield core (Busquets, Rakitic and Vidal). If a player does not want to join the club like 99.9% (another way of saying that most would...

I am fully aware of that hence the "zero profit" comment. Are you trying to tell me that we could not have found a goalkeeper with similar experience and a similar level like Neto (let us be honest he is no world beater or some exceptional goalkeeper) for the price that we paid for Neto? If...

I never knew that selling Cillessen to Valencia (with zero profit as we bought Neto for the exact same price!) was the board's sole option to offload him. Great "business" as usual. If this obscure deal had somehow been a part of the plan to potentially offload Denis Suárez and Rafinha to...

Thank you for saving me from writing another wall of text explaining why buying Neymar would be a terribly bad idea and the epitome of what is wrong with the current useless board. Even more so if it meant the sale of Dembélé (which will happen) and Griezmann joining as well in this upcoming...

Another absurd transfer from the useless board. We are selling a better goalkeeper to buy an inferior goalkeeper (same age) for the exact same price.:lol: It has to be said that Neto is a very good backup but why spend that kind of money on a backup that will play at most 5-8 games each season...

He is coming 100% if it was up to himself and the club. Nasser's public statements did not come out of the blue. PSG will be fine with selling him in return for money, Coutinho and Dembélé. In such a case they would have made the BY FAR the best deal and we would have orchestrated the worst...
