Dani Morer and Tajti are talented, the rest average in my opinion. It's wait and see regarding Barça B, I just want the players to be guided properly, so decisions after the elections would be ideal.

It's exactly what I had in mind when I compiled that list. I only took players where we paid less than 10 million for (actually most are under 7 million), as that would be around 15-20 nowadays, which is the price we paid for the players anguy named. I could've named Abidal (15 million) for...

As if Laporta didn't sign any good players for reasonable prices. Yaya Toure, Pique, Edmilson, Beletti, Giuly, Sylvinho, Van Bronckhorst and Marquez where all relatively good players for under 10 million euros. Of course both Txiki and Zubizaretta had their good and bad signings, but saying...

600m in liabilities is no problem if your assets match up to it. In accountancy you have to look for certain ratios when you are trying to measure the financial state of a company. These ratios include liquidity ratios (short-term liabilities in relation to current assets (there are more ratios...

Failed miserably in that aspect imo, those lawsuits and the outdated sponsor contracts will/have cost the club a lot financially, and those are just the most obvious points.

Take it and run!

http://grup14.com/article/la-masia-controversial-decisions-negligence-and-irresponsibility Excellently written article, you won't find any better one in English. Explains what has been going on the last 15 years and why it is so important that the new president values La Masia and will handle...

He's got everything a midfielder needs: technique, vision, passing, dribbling, speed, physicality, shooting and can also tackle. Complete midfielder. I think he has a good chance becoming a world class midfielder for us, just needs the right guidance to the first team which will hopefully happen...

No it's former Dutch footballer Regillio Simons. Valderrama would seem more fitting though..

If you want to win these elections, politics and rhetorics are the way to go. Few voting members care about all the details of a project, just two or three main points. This often includes the promise of a player, which is exactly what Bartomeu did today for example.

No shirt sponsorship means more attention because it's unique for a top club. More attention means the shirt is worth more.

It's not to make up for UNICEF, but a deal that's realistic considering the market. Money to make up for the shirt sponsor will have to come from other sources, like opening membership.

Enric Masip said yesterday that Luque is not a member of Laporta's team. Would have been a bad move tbh.

Very good point imo, the team needs it and the current board has mostly been unwilling to protect the team.

We have leverage with Messi and Adidas and, if Laporta is elected, the shirt without a sponsor, so I think we'll easily get an amount close to that of Man United.

Wrong quote I think, it should be Nike instead of Unicef.

Shots fired!

There might be someone brought in to assist Abidal as sporting director and teach him the basics in the sort of way where Puyol was an apprentice of Zubi last year, except Abidal's role will be bigger. I for one fully support Laporta's choice, Txiki neither had much experience as sporting...

Manita, CL final 2011, CL semifinal vs Chelsea, CL final 2008 and the 6-2 form my top 5, in that order. CL final 2011 is very close to being number 1 though, fantastic match between two great sides.

Jordi Majo with quite an interesting interview right now. Some good points: - He wants to recognize the sporting area to recover La Masia - Opening membership for everyone - Electronic voting for members overseas (great point imo) Beside those points, still think there are better options than...
