Ditto kiddo. End with joy for us in Madrid. Literally.

To me, Xavi's the heart and soul of Barcelona. Can't wait for him to return as manager. He'd be "more Guardiola than Guardiola/more Cruyff than Cruyff". The essence of Barcelona distilled into human form. Never ever get tired of watching this.

Agreed it's a good deal. And no deal could be more risky than Dembele! Watching the presentation.

Talk about odd signings! The current Barca board has made some odd signings over the years but this one takes the cake. I'm not entirely displeased, mind.

Thanks mate. Believe me, I enjoy Laudrup just as much as any Barca supporter out there. He was a Barca player (one of the most technically gifted of them all). That says it all really. We never did see Bergkamp in Blaugrana. So yes absolutely, Bergkamp is someone that I would have liked to see...

So the question remains: who WAS or IS good enough for us but for one reason or another didn't join our club?

I'm a club football man through and through. Only watch international football during World Cups. He did well with PSG these past couple seasons. OK, got it, the general consensus is that di maria not good enough for us :) D

di maria would have been an interesting relatively cheap option for us. Has 2-3 good football years left in him.

August 30th in Monaco, to be exact. https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2019/draws/round=2000980/

Will have to look up his highlights! Cheers mate. Anyone else? "What are some of the Players that you would have liked to see at Barca (but for whatever reason didn't come?) " Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry's former teammate :D Brilliantly exquisite technical skills. A real joy to watch. A...

Cheers mate. Defo KDB! Paulo Dybala anyone? Wonder how Messi feels about Cristiano playing with him when it was rumored we were interested in Paulo couple seasons back? Who's Roque Mesa?

Mbappe, at only 19, is already the future. The future is here, in other words. It'll be interesting to see and witness, the power play (if any) between Neymar and him at PSG this season. btw isn't it amazing how Neymar was able to sublimate his egotistical self when he was around Suarez and...

Mbappe's too big for PSG. Sooner or later he'll end up at Madrid. So the question is: what players do we bring in to replace Suarez/Messi etc once he makes the move to Madrid. The answer to this question may very well shape the La Liga and Champions League landscape and have an effect on the...

Apparently we had a choice of Dembele and Mbappe? And we went and got the former. Even before his exploits in the World Cup, Mbappe was ALREADY World Class. Anyone could see that. How I wish we had went all out for Kylian with the funds from the sale of Neymar. Mbappe's absolutely a...

Yes his sophomore season will tell us a lot. Do hope he settles in. We need his contribution if we are to make it deep into the knockout stages of the Champions League. He's rumored to be difficult to get along with. Antisocial. Dunno if that was mentioned in this forum. Don't want that to be an...

Woah. Those are some pretty optimistic numbers! I do hope you're right. He definitely needs to improve his decision making and end product to reach those numbers.

Great to see a pic of Modric with Barca gear. He would have fit in well. All the best ones do. Folks, what are some of the Players that you would have liked to see at Barca (but for whatever reason didn't come?) For me, Ozil is someone I would have liked to see play for us. Funnily enough, I...

Can we please direct this topic back to whether or not Demebele will come good for Barca or not please? Thanks.

I am so glad that talk of signing Thiago has died down. Remember, signing ex-Barca players historically never turns out well, and he wasn't exactly setting Bayern and the Bundesliga alight either. Time to move on. There's better options out there.

This kid has Barca DNA through and through. He'll play for Barca sooner or later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS5gBpk6htU
