    Edwin Valencia

    Always like following such gems from Latin America and always wishing them well. I don't recall us ever having an Ecuadorian feature for us. As one of the few South American nationalities that are yet to play for us. From what I could quickly see on Ecuadorian football forums, he seems very...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Wonderful to win in the fashion that RM has won most of their CL's throughout their history in. Un Barça "a la Madrileña".:lol: This "style" of play might be one of Valverde's biggest legacies in hindsight. If we could just transform that to the CL, we would win that trophy without a doubt.:worthy:

    Vinícius Júnior

    That is an incredible awful statistic even for a 18.5 year old. Luftstalag14 I wrote about this a few times already but RM paid €61 million for him. €45 million to Flamengo and €16 million to his agent (s). We had a deal with him but his agent (s) walked away from it after RM offered them...

    Valencia

    Somewhat happy that Valencia advanced to the CdR final. I have nothing against Real Betis at all but I want to see Valencia return to being the third or at least fourth strongest team in the country. Their first final in 10 years as well. They will celebrate their centenary this month as well...

    Filipe Luis

    Nacho Monreal is not a better player than Filipe Luís. Defensively nor offensively. Monreal is decent but Luís would be the better option. He was called up for Brazil last summer during the World Cup and made an appearance. Late last season he broke his fibula in his left leg and recovered after...

    FC Barcelona Handbol

    Yes, I believe so. Everything can happen in the Final Four. Obviously we first need to qualify from the two quarter-finals games before thinking about the Final Four. I don't see much difference between us and QSG. We can beat them and they can beat us. We are certainly the favorites alongside...

    Ferland Mendy

    Yes. We lack a LB backup not a potential starter or a promising talent like Mendy. Felipe who is the best LB in his age group can do the job as the backup of Alba better than anyone else. At least for 1-2 seasons. There is a possibility of signing him on a free and I doubt that he will demand an...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    We paid €75 million for FDJ with €11 million extra as potential bonus. Midfielders are always more expensive than CB's, in particular midfielders in the mould of FDJ. There are numerous talented CB's out there. Not the case with "FDJ type of midfielders". Are you Dutch by any chance?

    FC Barcelona Futsal

    Petition to rename the thread title to FC Barcelona Futsal. Reposting my post again in hope of you or other moderators seeing it Messi983. We have made the Final Four of the UEFA Champions League this season once again. It will be played in Kazakhstan and we are playing against Kairat (best...

    FC Barcelona Handbol

    Probably our best team since our all-conquering team during the 2014-15 season. Not much has changed since 2014 trophy wise other than us missing on winning the CL. We have more or less already qualified for the quarterfinals. Should definitely make the Final Four and I can only see QSG...

    Ferland Mendy

    It says that Aulas is not willing to give Mendy "away" for as cheap a price as Umtiti. Says that he will demand something in the range of €45-50 million and that the club considers that as a too high price considering the fact that the club is looking to buy an attacker and a CB (MDL is being...

    Basketball/NBA

    Missed the games tonight but ended up going for Giannis OVER 29.5 points. With Paul back I was unsure whether or not Harden would get those 7 assists. He ended with 6 so close but would have cursed myself had I taken that bet over the Giannis one. Yet to lose any money on Giannis so far this...

    Filipe Luis

    I remember that interest in him back in 2009. Wanted him back then as he had impressed me for Depor. Although I am not much in favor of signing seniors that are past their best, in this case a 34 year old Felipe, I do think that he could be a good and reliable backup for Alba at least for 1...

    Primeira Liga (Portugal)

    raki Thinking about betting on Porto this time around. Skipped the last time around if you recall which turned out to be a good decision as Porto only barely managed a 1-1 draw against Moreirense away. The odds before that game for a Porto win were 1.50. Tonight Porto are playing against...

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Lyon 5-1 agg.

    I believe that as well. There is no way that we are going out against this Lyon side. Fekir returning should not make a huge difference for them. We will have Arthur back, maybe Umtiti and hopefully a more in-form Messi, Suárez and Dembélé up front. Who knows, maybe Valverde will grow some balls...

    Basketball/NBA

    :lol: Nice stuff. Bahamas is the place to be. You never know with him though. He can literally score 10 points in the span of a few minutes if he gets it going. Many of his runs are just unstoppable when he first gets going. It's either 2 points and a foul or a foul and 2 free-throws. However...

    Should Suarez be dropped from the Starting XI in the CL?

    Good posts overall serghei and agree with much of what you have written. Obviously not every single point but the majority. Suárez's goalscoring form in the CL, in particular in the knockout stage and away from home, is not good enough and that has been the case for far too...

    Basketball/NBA

    wisconsincule What is your take on Giannis tonight against the Celtics at home? Another game for him to get OVER 28.5 points (1.86)? Or is Boston a too strong opponent defensively to take the risk? Just speculating. Not made my mind up yet and in any case I am only thinking about a very small...

    FC Barcelona basketball team

    Another convincing win. This time against Baskonia (direct opponent for the 8 playoff places) in the EuroLeague. Pesic doing his magic! I like the fact that our most senior player is the 32 year old Tomic. All other players, with the exception of the soon to be 32 years, Ribas, are all under...
