This is something I don’t think gets talked about enough. To me it shows more dominance if you win both (obviously). Of course I’m coming at it with blaugrana colored lenses. I’m prob just trying to make myself feel better. You can’t take away what Madrid has done over the past 5 years in the...

One more big star could be enough depending on how much better the young players are next year. We already resigned KCP to a 1 year deal so I think there aren’t anymore big players coming this year. Not enough cap space left. But the good news is that Randle will still be on the team. And next...

Never thought about it that way but I totally agree. I was a big defender of Neymar but I gotta admit he would infuriate me when he wouldn’t make the simple play when it was needed. Coutinho seems to be the perfect balance of flair with team play. Can’t wait to see him start.

Dembele?

I'm never going to think about his price. Under normal circumstances he probably wouldn't have gone for over 100 mil. But everyone was trying to milk Barca for all they could knowing they had the cash and desperately needed someone. To me Dembele is what we needed at the moment. Maybe most...

Now that Neymar is officially gone and the money is in Barca's pockets I am more anxious and nervous than I was before. Nervous because there's a chance our board will screw up and buy the wrong player(s). Anxious because there's also a chance they will spend wisely and I can't wait to see how...

The Board will feel pressure to sign people to replace Neymar but if they cant sign someone who is truly world class, and everyone knows who those players are, then they shouldn't sign anyone at all. It would suck if they ended up signing no one but it would be even worse blowing some of the...

Why didn't he play in any of the preseason games?

I don't get all "his finishing sucks" comments. He's a midfielder. You hardly ever see anyone complain about Iniestas lack of finishing Prowess.

He should be Captain of the squad after Iniesta. I know we all love Messi but Piques actions on and off the field over the past couple years scream captain material. Puyol would be proud

Well everyone knew that except the person selecting the starters last year. This year I have faith Valverde will at least give playing time to those who deserve it.

He sees all the praise Christiano is getting right now and has decided enough is enough. He is going to make sure that there is no doubt in anyone's mind who the true king of the footballing world is after this season. Lookout!

Gotta see how he links up with Messi. Our link up play on the right flank was virtually non existent last season. One half of a game where he played with someone who should never play at RW for Barca doesn't really show what he can be. Hopefully next game he gets to play with Messi.

Even if Iniesta and Rakitic are the preferred starting CM's by Valverde (which is yet to be confirmed) he is still going to get plenty of playing time. To me Sergi Roberto is going to be for us this year what Isco was for Real Madrid last year. First player off the bench when he doesn't start...

So now that we officially signed Semedo can we get back to talking about Roberto in the midfield? The first choice midfield 3 if we do use the 4-3-3 is still probably Iniesta - Busquets - Rakitic. But I think eventually if we don't bring in any new players Roberto will take over Rakitic spot...

LOL at the players Valverde wants to keep and the one he wants to let go. Doesn't even try to sugar coat it. Just GTFO Arda is basically what he said. I think we all agree.

Lebron looked gassed in the 2nd half last night. Something I think that's being overlooked is that KD is being guarded by Lebron. Lebron did most of his damage in the first half but then guarding KD for the majority of the game took it's toll and caught up with him.

This isn't last years Warriors team. KD just gives them too many options to go to on offense. Everything has to go right for Cleveland to win a game it seems. In this game 2 the Warriors have like 13 turnovers at halftime with nobody really shooting that well and they are still ahead.

I'm with the people that say trebles are better than back to back CL's. It shows complete dominance rather than just being good in one competition. Of course they won the double this year so Madrid rightly are at the top of the world right now. But in their previous CL winning years that's all...

Luckily we still have Messi. He is the trump card. If we only get adequate players to fill in the gaps Lucho left I think we will be fine.
