Dembele was about to leave on a free transfer when that deal was signed, so it was probably either something like this or no deal at all. Only mistake would've been thinking Dembele wouldn't use this at the first opportunity, so hopefully the club is prepared. Would've been very naiv to believe...

Had the same with Umtiti. What a coincidence that's it's always the bums that are in their "best shape ever" right when the club wants to get rid of them. Another meh season incoming for sure.

Tbh i don't think variables are a big problem when signing a young player, as long it's actual variables and not just "pay 10M in 2024 because he played 5 games" or something of course. Biggest risk is he's a complete flop, and in that case he likely won't fulfill any clauses that depend on...

"I'm happy at Barcelona, i feel good and want to fight for my spot". - every bum ever.

If we somehow manage to bottle the league we should just shut down the club. Even if we don't choke it's still concerning, could end bad next season if we start to not get all these narrow 1-0's we won this season.

Seeing Torres and Fati argue over the penalty just so Ferran can take a hilariously bad shot really sums up their situation this season.

Must be the worst good team ever, it's so weird. Team regularly plays shit but we keep getting away with it and grind out narrow wins left and right that might stack up to a 100 points season lol. Too bad Xavis black magic doesn't work in Europe.

He's probably worth a try depending on salary and how many forwards leave / who else we try to sign. Currently we play Ansu when Lewy is out and that hasn't exactly worked great. Don't think he's that amazing though, but you never know of course.

Yeah he's not performing as well. But Xavi played him, so seems to still be ahead in the pecking order, so that's why i named the knes he benched. You know some things went terribly bad when you end up benching a 60M winger to play Roberto there instead. Either Xavi really thinks the 4 mid...

Not good enough for this type of game, but we already knew that. He's ok as like the 6th midfielder to give others a break in la liga or copa but not more at this point. Injuries suck, but its also about Xavis forward choices, even with Dembele out we had two forwards on the bench. He could've...

Can already see these fuckers weasel their way to another CL in return though :lol:

The league title would be good for this season, even though we shouldn't forget that it still comes with a big cost. We basically bought Lewandowski to get that one, while failing big time in Europe. Still good and not something we could expect, but we invested a lot for it considering the...

We shouldn't even be in EL in the first place. Horrible CL record, then go down to EL and instantly get knocked out there too. Not a good look for Xavi, so far the only international game he won was vs Pilzen. United is strong no question, but overall that's just a bad performance by us. We...

League merchant :valverde2:

Im not really the biggest fan of him but if Xavi wants to continue with a defensive RB then Pavard isn't a bad solution. Pavard/Kounde/Araujo/Christensen for 3 spots is pretty good tbh. It's more about if it's the right move to double down on that formation and how much money we even have to...

Damn that's cold by the mister :valverde2:

It's good to see a reaction, and nice for him that he got rewarded even though it's not officially his assist. Going forward it'll still be difficult for him, he'd not only need to play like this more often but also show it on LW as well otherwise he will have to fight Raphinha for the RW sub...

Roberto-Eric-Alonso-Alba Xavi bringing the full Spaniard defense to Europe :worthy: Jokes aside i don't think is THAT stubborn to not realize it might be a good idea to bring our best line-up to an important k.o. game.

Decent game, if me keep playing 4 midfielders he might actually be useful going forward. Should never play RB on a regular basis again though.

I don't think a player like Davies really benefits from playing further up. He can perfectly use his biggest weapen speed from that wing-back position while it compensates for him not being elite in finishing and tight spaces. Similar case with Balde for us.
