Probably the most glaring reason why Barcelona has regressed so much. Giving chances to players who have already refused yo take 5 or 6 chances before. In the good old days you got 1 or 2 chances and if you didn't make it it was bench time then sell time.

Agree regarding managers. I have no idea where people get the impression nobody would take the job comes from. This is still the number 1 job in football. It's the elite dream for some of the very best managers out there. Saying someone like Poch wouldn't take it is like saying someone who...

Its inexcusable for the following reason. If you did a poll of Barca fans worldwide, who by the way aren't the most knowledgeable about football, about who would they start vs Granada at home Puig or Rakitic, I'm sure Puig would win by a landslide. I don't even like Puig much but in the match...

Closer to half a billion than quarter a billion. Almost 400m euros on Cou Dembele and Fortnite and they can't hit a barn door between them. Enough is enough. Just offer them all for Mbappe and if PSG say no, chuck in another 100m to boot.

It's Godfather time. Give PSG an offer they can't refuse. Dembele , Coutinho , Griezmann PLUS 100m for Mbappe. Mbappe ain't R9 level but there is no youngster out there that is even remotely close to his level. When gold is rare it becomes more expensive.

Re above John and Andresito. We are generally on the same page with a lot of the points discussed. Only thing I disagree with is AG can't play LW for me. No excuse for Puig not starting. If he can't take the pressure at home vs Granada then he has no business having a future here. The one...

Booooom. Exactly. Has dawned on me that yes he has telepathic link to Suarez but it's more than that, far more. He passes to Suarez more because he is the only guy he trusts to do anything with it. Was not like this when Ney was here. He passed to Ney loads, no tunnel vision for Suarez...

If I'm managing a team to face Barca I would literally triple team this guy. Who cares if others are free it's not like they are going to score anyway. As dependent on him as ever. Maybe more so with Luis out.

He will probably get a free pass because he won a ball in his own half but I'm done with him. How many chances does he need? Just sell him Coutinho and Dembele for 250m and re invest. Do it this January for all I care. But just do it

You cannot judge a manager after one game, however you can judge some inexplicable decision that were made in said game. 1) Why set Roberto to ' stay back while attacking at home to Granada when attacking is his beat asset? 2) Why persist with Umtiti when he is clearly a shadow of the player...

Of course he would have. 'Bumverde' would have been trending on this forum no doubt. I have been asking for positivity from this forum from since I joined but what we are seeing now is nothing but pure delusion. I've said it once and I will say it a million times. The way people judge the...

He is only 5ft 11. He rarely scores with his head. I still watch his goals but they are very basic goals, using his pace, bang , goal. Nothing shouts to me ' world class' about him, even now. I'm not overly sold on any of these strikers out there right now. I just hope someone new appears...

Would any of those who expected him to gracefully retire because he wasn't up to the job, also do the same under the same circumstances? Would you? Give up 23m a year because that's what people who happen to hate you, want? Doubt it. There are currently literally billions of people in this...

The last time I saw him consistently was in the world cup, where, apart from pace, he didn't seem to have much to his game. He will need to have improved by magnitudes to be good enough to be the main striker here.

What I mean is he will get better with age. People shouldn't worry he is 29. I expect him to have his best seasons at 32, 33.

Hopefully not. He's not really shown anything we haven't already seen. Great playing for a South American club, struggles against better opposition. The Copa final summed him up. Horrific game but managed to get 2 goals. His stats are very deceptive.

My number 1 choice for centre back. His only weakness is his positioning which comes with experience. Therefore we are likely to see his best years in the next 4-5 years. 70m for a top 3 centre back in the world for the next 5 years? No brainer.

GOATverde seemed like such a nice guy. Sure he needed to go but the internet fans went way too far with their hatred imho. Glad it's not on my conscience.

Neto Semedo pique Araujo alba Vidal Busquets Puig Messi Griezmann Fati. If he doesn't start Puig with fdj and Arthur out, he never will.

It is hard to defend his behaviour on the pitch but if we judged people by how they are when they play football, we ate not going to come up with many people we like. Off the pitch he is known to be a fun natured family guy. Far more unsavoury characters in the game than Luis. Would love to...
