    Gerard Piqué

    I doubt current Cubarsi would bench prime Pique tbh. I said it before, I think most if them woukd have been promoted but on a different timeline. They were rushed a little bit tbh.

    Julián Álvarez

    Sure, but it has been 5 years like that. So, I doubt there is any remaining reputation of us being the club that overpays for players. I doubt we would have paid much more for Alcarez than the astronomical fee paid by Atletico

    Julián Álvarez

    I think Chelsea replaced us. City and PSG too. If anything, we are closer to being a stingy club now. Only a bit generous with salaries.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    We need just someone who can get minutes tbh. Not necessarily same profile. G.Martin is far from sane profile if Balde and is getting more minutes than he deserves. otoh, Araujo isn't getting minutes as RB when he is similar to Kounde. Flick might be stubborn a bit but he isn't hell bent on...

    Alexander Isak

    Hmmm, never heard of him. But solid numbers for sure.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Awful game. Signs of fatigue is clear, Flick will need to find someone ro rotate with him.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I don't remember the start of the play, but in 3rd goal it looked like he was late to recover his position, which forced Frenkie on the right, and left the area in front of the box wide open.

    Jordi Cruyff

    I am sure I am not the best one to talk about it, but they seem to have passionate football fans, probably too passionate (there was a massacre few years ago in a football match). There are few Dutch players with Indonesian origins, like Gio Van Bronckhortst. They might not ever be...

    Ronaldo

    I mean, if you mix players you get some of their limitations too. He wasn't better than them in their peak, although he felt more complete as a striker, but people always mix complete with being better. He was big strong athletic like CR7 and very talened dribbler like Messi. Hence, why he...

    Ronaldo

    I don't think anyone will write R9 ahead of either Messi or CR7 if asked about an objective ranking of top 10. I would bet good portion will take him out of top 10 even. But his top years will always be appreciated, R9 early is the answer of "what if you mix Messi and CR7 into one player". He...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    He is interesting to follow, but Como is a big spender and supporting his project generously. Same thing happened with Motta, who changed two thirds of the team and was credited for being the brain behind it and being the next big thing. They have spent close to 100M since they got promoted.

    Vitor Roque

    I was one of Roque biggest advocates here, though I pointed his limitations from the start, but he isn't better than either Torres or Lewandowski. I don't get the 2.5 years of Lewa either, his contract along the reported renewal, is until 2026, nothing about 2027. The club will try to finance...

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Barca Goalkeepers were always risky and a walking ticking bomb with their mistakes. It isn't like we ever had a Buffon or Schmeichel starting here. You would expect folks to have developed some thick skin by now, it is Barca legacy

    Should return one last game at the end of the season and get a proper sent off tbh

    Vitor Roque

    It seems like the deal with Palmeiras already agreed with Barca, according to Matteo Moretto at least. Loan with obligation to buy for 25M for 80% of his rights is the quoted numbers by other journalists, including Brazilian sources iirc (feel free to fact check it, I might have missed...
