Messi in for Coutinho not Malcom.

At the start of last season Semedo was playing very well then for no reason Valverde started playing Roberto instead of him in away games. That's where he started being inconsistent. Roberto isn't a fullback, he doesn't have what it takes to be a fullback and not good enough in midfield either.

Yes, and replace him with De Ligt.

Valverde should have shown more respect to Sevilla than he did with his line-up, they are probably the team with biggest difference between their performance home and away being much stronger at home. Messi played only 30 minutes or so against Leganes, he could at least played another 30 minutes...

For no reason?

Roberto at LB against Sevilla's Jesus Navas at the Pizjuan doesn't seem like a good idea. Vermaelen would have been the better choice, at least he can defend.

That's exactly what I said in my post! Barca and Madrid are more attractive than money clubs because in addition to money thy have prestige and win titles on collective and individual level.

If prestige was more important than money for the players then they should prefer a club like AC Milan over the likes of PSG. Barca and Madrid have both prestige and money in addition to team and individual titles, that's why they are still more attractive to players than PSG or Manchester...

Liverpoll certainly became much more attractive to players with Klopp than before him, that's the point.

If Barto hired a real manager for the team instead of Valverde, he probably wouldn't have needed to go to Amsterdam to convince De Jong of joining the club. Look how attractive Liverpool have became with Klopp as manager.

Didn't Vazquez play in the copa against Leganes after he got sent off int the game before against Sociedad?

Roberto as a winger lol Or what exactly is he gonna do on the right? get the ball and then pass it backwards like he always does?

The question is why did the salaries of those players with the exceptions of Messi get so high in first place? Busquets, Pique and Rakitic are currently more of a liability for the team than an asset. Meanwhile Alba's contract extension negotiations have been going for a while, and that's...

Why are the player salaries at Barca so much higher than at other clubs who have as good or even better squads? It isn't that Barca is a small club with little history like PSG or Manchester City that needs to offer higher salaries to convince the players to join the club.

So Valverde called up 8 midfielders but left Malcom, the only striker option for the bench, out of the squad?!

I think he could adapt to a midfield role much easier and faster than Coutinho. Also him being a great winger, unlike Coutinho, allows the option of playing Hazard Messi Dembele upfront, imagine a counter attack with those three!

They have a very similar dribbling style, are great a keeping the ball and play in a similar position, why do you think they are so different? Iniesta is better at defending and controlling the game but Hazard as previously said is a much better goal scorer.

How about a swap deal Coutinho for Hazard?! Hazard is much better but next summer he will only have one year left in his contract if he doesn't renew and Coutinho was a great player in the premiere league and is younger than Hazard. Hazard is probably the closest player to Iniesta in terms of...

He was the 4th worst player against Levante, only 'La Masia's super talents' Miranda, Chumi and Alena played worse than him.

Like it's usual with Masia players, he is way too overrated. Not good enough for a top team.
