He would be wasted as a pure holder. Xavi started his career as a holder but only exploded when given positional freedom. Just sitting there infront of the centerbacks and making short passes to the other CMs is pointless. We should buy a DM destroyer like Kanté and play De Jong further forward.

For me he is the second best player in the world and possibly more clutch than Messi in difficult situations as he has shown against PSG 2 years ago. Doesn't let his head drop like a school boy. He had some injuries in recent times but none of them were muscular. Whenever he played he was...

Madrid are in pole position for this transfer IMO, only Neymar's wish to reunite with Messi and Suarez is keeping them away so far but if Barca don't make the necessary offer he'll go to Madrid. First of all PSG hate Barca and would gladly do a deal with Madrid. Second of all Madrid have lots...

If I'm PSG I flat out refuse that garbage offer. 2 surplus players that won't start for Barca, one of them already 31, and a bit of pocket change money that buys no good player. Would rather contact Madrid for 120 million cash (their Pogba money) + Isco. Uncle Flo would be ecstatic I think.

Agreed. Coutinho worth: 70 million max. Rakitic worth: 40 million max. (I'm generous, he is 31 and the whole fanbase wants him gone) That's 110 mil. United did not sell Pogba for 120 million and Pogba is a garbage luxury player. Of course Barca have to pay up on top of those 2 players if they...

He just says "there is nothing". Journalist says "but you are here in Paris". He replies "yeah you are also here." He doesn't deny he is there for Neymar, he only says "leave me alone".

Thank God for the circle, I thought the woman on the left was Abidal.

Coutinho was never a 140 million player in the first place. The 2 biggest and most hyped talents in De Ligt and De Jong went for around 75 million, at which point was Coutinho twice that value, ever?

No one wants him, only Bayern would take him on loan. Why is he worth 100 million? Who is paying that for him? Spurs or Arsenal? If no one would pay 100 million for Coutinho then he is not worth 100 million. Simple. Why did Manchester United not go hard for him when they are about to lose...

Barca is a sports club, not a profit oriented organization. Coutinho's sporting value for Barca is basically 0. He is arguably behind Sergi Roberto in the midfield pecking order and has no business being in the frontline with Messi, Suarez, Griezmann and Dembélé. No one will buy Coutinho from...

Neymar return is worth it for the good old school Jadentheman providing Gui7herme compilations alone. :lol:

DonAndres I did research. Ming's career ended after he fractured his navicular bone, it's something different. After his 5th metatarsal fracture in 2006 he returned and his numbers in 2007 and 2008 were similar to pre-injury. Then he broke his navicular bone in 2008 and 2010 on top of a stress...

We also suffered humiliations when we didn't defend. PSG 0-4, Juve 0-3, Bayern 0-4 all come to mind. Even 0-2 to a garbage Milan side. It's unrelated. Pep lost worse on aggregate against Liverpool with attacking philosophy. But we prefer dominant attacking football of course as Barca fans.

It's still the case. Before he got injured he was as good as ever. 5 goals in 6 CL games in a tough group with Napoli and Liverpool. 15 goals (and 7 assists) in 16 games in the league. Since then he has been injured but people talk now as if he was struggling and declining for a long time, for...

This sounds a bit overdramatizing. I have no medical background but some Google research led me to believe it's a common injury that heals well if treated correctly (which should be the case for a high profile athlete like Neymar)...

Iniesta was super injury-prone before 2010, almost missed the World Cup, missed most of the 09/10 season but from 2010 onwards almost never got injured again. He was Neymar's age then. Tough luck with injuries for 2 seasons doesn't mean he will be injured for the rest of his life.

Bayern would not buy him, they are waiting for Sané's recovery. They didn't buy James and he was pretty good for them, Coutinho won't be better. Pointless loan unless they pay 20 million and take his wages for a 1 year loan or something.

He is 31 and was a very good but not special type of player so for that reason alone he is dispensable. Roberto, Alena, De Jong, Arthur, Vidal, Busquets are enough options for 3 spots. He doesn't seem to want to go and transfer window in England is also closed so I don't see him leaving unless...

5 games of preseason? He is at the helm for 5 months already. Other than Hazard the Real Madrid starting eleven hasn't changed either.

It's not up to them if Mbappe does not renew.
