He can equal or even surpass Gento's two records provided that he does "a Giggs" and stays at the club until 2027. Which quite frankly is very unrealistic although I would love it. If he did he would probably equal or beat all possible records quite clearly. Be it number of appearance (300 extra...

Filipe without a doubt.

His managerial profile is not as highly sought after as it was just a few seasons ago. He is not a youngster anymore either. 56 years old. He will have at most 10+ years (at most) left in the game. Half of those will likely be as a coach of a NT as he has said many times. Would fit how Portugal...

He would be most suited for the likes of PSG or Inter. Problem is that Tuchel looks like the perfect fit for PSG stylistically (proponent of a football that the Qataris want to see) and he has developed a great chemistry with Neymar and Mbappé and the other star players. Inter for obvious...

Wanted him before we bought De Jong but now it makes little sense even if we parted ways with Rakitic this summer which we will do, hopefully. Arthur, De Jong, Busquets, Vidal, Aleñá, Puig. Possibly Coutinho in Iniesta's role should he somehow convince in that position or if Valverde somehow...

It's amazing is it not? Some people just look younger than they are. It is often genetic. My father's side of the family is like that. I think that we can all recall those friends that looked like people in their 20's when teenagers. At that time it was a plus, a few years down the road it...

Glad to be wrong (for once, lol) in regards to RM and Ajax tonight but happy to have been right about RM not winning the CL this year. Missed the game entirely due to a successful date (lol) but received countless of messages while the game was on and I could hardly believe the updates or final...

Sorry, no offense, but I can't take this post seriously. To claim that Piqué has never shown a high level consistently throughout a season has to be a joke or that somehow VVD with 1 elite season behind him at the age of 27 (with nothing to show for it) is somehow lightyears ahead of Piqué at...

No disrespect to Valdés (in particular the final part of his career here) but MAtS has to be the best goalkeeper for us that I recall. I expect him to only get better. His only weakness as I see it are when he attempts to clear crosses as he tends to not go out much outside of the goal area even...

If we go out against Lyon there should be no "Valverde face" next season. He should be fired. On the spot. Before he leaves the Camp Nou. No excuses and no room for accepting mediocrity. Going out 3 times in a row (just after winning a treble) in the quarterfinals and topping that off in the...

Yes but it is not only about Valverde or Lyon. The stats are also against us if I am not wrong. Truth be told a 0-0 result away from home is a bad result. Which makes it even more frustrating for the team not to have scored at last 1 freaking goal when having had 20-25 shots on goal in that Lyon...

In particular trophy wise and actually helping lead his team to the biggest trophies that you can win as an elite player.:lol: VVD has been great (if not tremendous) this season but let us not overreact. Piqué (and plenty of other CB's in the past 10 years) have had similar seasons and unlike...

It stopped working because we got a new board (in 2010) that stopped following the Cruyff model and because not every generation is as talented as the 1987 generation. Your example of Roberto is not a sound one as during the past 10 years our squad has been STACKED (more than any other club in...

No point in giving him a contract extension as I described in post 9237 even without a wage increase (impossible anyway). His current contract runs out in 2021. By then he will be 33.5 years old and likely a shadow of his former self. A much bigger decline than his decline since his first 2...

FCBarca thank you for saving me some time. khaled_a_d have to disagree with a lot of what you are writing. On what universe have our loans worked since this board came to power in 2010? Other than that Rafinha loan (thanks to Lucho mainly) and arguably that of Denis Suárez (who most of...

RM won't win the CL this season anyway so them going through or not matters little in the bigger picture. Ajax won't have a chance of eliminating them. It's Ajax. An extremely young version moreover with everything this entails of naivity, childish mistakes, not being able to close games...

Nobody said anything about loaning him out for 1 season (next season) being a horrible thing. BTW which loan of ours of a young player recently have been a success? Rafinha at Celta years ago maybe when Lucho was their manager. Denis had decent spells at Sevilla and Villarreal but nobody really...

Really hope that I won't have to curse the team nor Valverde in 8 days time. Really have a strange intuition and feeling about this game. Few of us expected such a successful run (the past 4 away games) and with that in mind I can't stop thinking that we are bound for some disappointment soon...

Yes, that was the key moment. Lebron's injury messed things up and the final blow was the whole AD situation that was handled wrongly by all parties and which contributed to the implosion within the squad. It has not been the same since. No, I already commented that Zubac trade a few posts...

It is worth noticing that Bordalás is one of the few people on this earth that have found the elixir of youth. 985106039254192128 :worthy:
