Unfortunately, yes.

He went 8 games in a row without scoring in Euro qualifying. For arguably the strongest international team in the world. And every man and his grandma scores in pub Euro qualifying where a new country is discovered as often as Cristopher Colombus. If someone offered 80-90m for him I would...

Who wanted him is irrelevant. Barca spent 350m on AG Dembele and Cou. Atletico spent 80m on Lemar and 30m on Vitolo. PSG spent 45m on Paredes. I wish I could be bothered to get the clip in the first half where Semedo broke free and could have easily pulled it back to the far post where AG...

Am I the only one getting annoyed at the 'he works so hard' praise game after game. We spent 120m on this guy. We should expect more.

We would be absolutely destroyed in the air without this guy. He is pretty much the only player in the team who can head the ball. As usual, impeccable against Madrid.

He is way better than Busi and Raki but that is not saying much these days. He has done absolutely nothing to deserve the outrageous praise he gets on this forum. His Barca career so far amounts to 3 or 4 World class performances, if that.

Will winning his 6th ballon work against him? He must know deep down no footballer will ever match 6 ballon dors. Can't help with his motivation levels. Does he seem like the kinda guy that will push for another to make 100% sure? I'm not so sure.

He will need to drop deep if Arthur plays as well because Arthur is hardly a bastion of creativity himself. Then he will be blamed for dropping too deep. Can't win.

One day, despite the fact Ernie is not a great manager, you will understand that not EVERYTHING is Valverde's fault and the players you have so heavily emotionally invested in due to your heavy praising of them, are just not as good as you thought they were or would have us believe.

Tapped up and on his way to City. The new Alba has been sold for compensation of 400k Euros. Disgraceful.

As a Boca fan I've seen him up close and personal and he has hurt us these last 2 years in the Copa but he is nothing special. In fact there are no special players at Boca or River right now. The standard is so low and El Muneco Gallardo has done miracles taking the average River side to such...

It was his own decision to stay in the middle and become a poacher because that was the only way he was going to keep up with Messi in terms of goalscoring. Unfortunately as you said , he lost so much in terms of being entertaining to watch, in order to do so. I can confess to enjoying...

There were dozens of arguments against your post and this is the best rebuttal you can come up with? I think I preferred you as Copperpot or Hammerhead when you were a Liverpool fan for a while lel

Funny you should mention Giggs and Scholes. Utd Ronaldo fanboys like to downplay the greatness of Messi by saying he only did it for one team (untrue anyway as he has 70 goals for Argentima). But they completely ignore this fact about their own stars of the past. In 2005 you would not have...

Forum De Amigos getting proven wrong again on Barcaforum not flying well? Surely not. In my opinion Forum De Amigos always admit when they are wrong graciously and with complete humility. And that's my nomination for the 'most sarcastic post of the year 2019' award.

A great example of the quote I just posted . Artur can do no wrong or his wrongdoing is minimized. Rakitic can do no right and his wrongdoing is exaggerated or has no base in truth at all . The actions and incidents are just spun or made up to fit the narrative. Thank you.

In the same way you can't judge Mats career by 3 CL games, you can't judge one average keeper having a great game as comparable to Mats having regular game after game match saving performances involving numerous spectacular saves. Look I'm not his biggest fan, he is somewhat error prone. At...

A very wise man once said to me " You have no real control over what people think of you. If they like you they will spin your mis deeds in to something positive. If they hate you, nothing you do can make yourself noble in their eyes." This thread is proof of that.

You have the right to your opinion but for me these two are quite clearly the best 2 footballers in history. I can't think of anyone that surpasses them. Only R9 and Pele come close. R9 didn't have the longevity. Pele didn't have the same outrageous talent as the other two.

Would Alisson be as good for Barca with our weak defense? Allison is solid, consistent. But he can't make the spectacular saves Mats does. Jan Obs can do both, the spectacular and is solid, that's why he eats alone.
