I feel that it is time to quote my post number 29 from this thread below: http://www.barcaforum.com/showthread.php/15584-Should-Barcelona-renew-Ivan-Rakitić-or-not/page2 Yes, because giving likely 3 years more (2024) to a 31 year old and declining Rakitic, including a WAGE increase (he will...

What is the point of your posts? Not really a surprise. Juve have always been the best and most consistent team in the domestic league while being the biggest choker in Europe with only 2 CL wins and 7 CL-final loses (most of all teams). They have almost always, with the exception of very...

A friendly advice. Don't take everything that presidents in Southern Europe (mainly Spain, Italy and Portugal) are saying. 80% of those players will be sold for far less than their buyout clauses should Benfica receive decent offers. Like has been the case for years. Since forever practically.

Puig will be 20 years in August. Aleñá was getting games for us that age last season when we had a similarly stacked midfield (arguably). No point mentioning Rafinha (who will leave this summer), Denis (who already left and won't return) or Coutinho (who won't play in the midfield as long as...

Yes, just like I wrote. Pro-Benfica media in particular. It is beyond ridiculous and people are buying the hype. Paying €120 million for him a few weeks into his senior career would be insane. In particular when he has shown nothing outside of the domestic league context (a very bad context as...

Teams who had CR7 won 4 CL in 5 years. What kind of argument is that? Capello and Schuster won leagues while having Messi as their opponent. As did Zidane. The likes of Pellegrini and Ancelloti were 1 game away from winning the league as well. It is only in the last 2 seasons that RM has been...

CdR champions! Not long after our basketball team. Not bad, not bad.

Pep's time in Bayern cannot be considered mediocre by any means unless winning 3 league titles in 3 years, reaching 3 Cl-semifinals in a row (let us be honest here at no point did Bayern have the best squad in Europe in those seasons maybe with the exception of the 2013-14 season), and 2...

Considering what Chelsea paid for him in the summer of 2017 and that Atlético loaned him for 1.5 years (not just 5-6 months) and the fact that Chelsea is paying 50% of his wages, I believe it is a rather cheap loan for a player of his quality. Compared to the €2 million that we paid for the...

Wait a second. The following below was what I wrote. I did not exclude Vidal. A big detail that was missed. You also somehow "forgot" or did not "notice" the fact that I wrote that we might sign Rabiot, Lo Celso or another midfielder should Rakitic be sold. Another quite substantial detail...

I disagree. I don't think that (at the time) the most highly rated manager in the world, who just won the treble with Inter, later to take over the most valuable team (by far) back then (2010) and only managing 1 league title (full of controversy), 1 CdR final (same case) in 3 whole seasons...

Are you serious? AC Milan last won the league title in 2012. Just 7 years ago. The CL 11 years ago. Liverpool are playing in a much stronger league financially where even the bottom teams are comparable (financially) to the richest teams in all other elite leagues in Europe. Certainly the top...

Next page. I don't want to come off as an arrogant prick (although I tend to be right most of the time, my track record here included whether it be Coutinho, Dembélé, Morata, KPB, De Jong etc.) but looks like I was right about Kloppo and his Liverpool. Looks like they are going to throw the...

Talk about a huge mess. Not even making the playoffs most likely and losing against the teams that we have lost to recently is just shocking stuff. No two ways about it. Loses against the Hawks, later to win against the Rockets at home, to loss against the Pelicans and Grizzlies, later to win...

Another great game and month. https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1294766/Live/Germany-Bundesliga-2018-2019-Nuernberg-RasenBallsport-Leipzig A shame that there are no rumors linking us with him currently from what I am aware of. Would have loved a CB profile like him playing for us. Could become...

Never wrote anything about "every player being able to do so". I am talking about the top, top players and elite ones. All of them would be scoring 20+ goals for this version of PSG in Ligue 1 easily. No doubt about it. Is anyone seriously doubting it? If so, I need them to explain their...

What? Criticism of a bad pitch is legitimate criticism and I don't care from which fanbase that criticism arrives from if a pitch is in a bad state. I want to see the best football and most fluid one possible. That requires good pitches, not potato fields. There is a reason why the state of the...

Whenever Xavi complained about the state of pitch (totally different than speaking about the freaking wind, rain, snow, sun or whatever) there was legitimate concern for criticism. 99% of the time that Xavi complained about the state of pitch x or y we ended up winning anyway. Not to mention...

Good stuff. Hopefully that goal and further success (yes, he is a Perico but honestly I can't take that club or their fanbase seriously and have to admit that I caught myself cheering for them against Sevilla in 2007 during the UEFA Cup final not to mention their impressive and entertaining UEFA...

While it would be romantic if the likes of Alavés, Eibar, Getafe (yes even them) made the CL it would be bad news for Spanish football and the UEFA coefficient list as those clubs would likely have little chance of progressing from most CL groups. I want Valencia to make it now that Sevilla...
