1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

[Barcaman]

This thread is a microcosm of why the player chat section can be unreadable, taking the mantle from the Pique and Messi threads of 2013. I imagine it must be cathartic to say sell this or that player after every game but its evident to anyone that takes a step away from the narrative that exists in this bubble that the majority of what is being suggested wont happen and will only lead to mass aneurysms to those involved when he signs a new contract. Now that Arda's thread has normalized, animosity doesn't actually need a new stronghold.

Hard to compare Barca legends Pique and Messi with ter Stegen tbf.
I didn't see anyone say "sell" either. There are ideas of getting another good goalkeeper to challenge him and I think that's fair.

We can't get Donnarumma.
There is some cultural thing, how Spanish players will always pick Real or Barca as their firts choice.
How Germans will usually pick Bayern over other teams.
How Brasilian superstar Cfs will pick Real/Barca over other.

About (top) Italians, they are the same as Xavi/Iniesta/Puyol, Spanish or German guys.
They won't leave a country unless the club forces their exit, or if some insane bid comes.
More or less all Italians play in Juve, Milan, Roma or Inter. Verratti is more or less the only exception.
Playing in Juve or Milan is like playing at Barca/Real for other players.

Donnarumma, I can see him only staying at Milan, going to Juve or in some insane case to some foreign team who will pay like 100M.

You are 100% right about this,and that fact makes me sad... 😣

Wait, we are trying to hire Dormammu !! Time to Bargain !

You're absolutely right, it was a big majority. Lucky there were a few who could tell this was going to happen. It just shows that some of us know our football better than others and have a better eye to see how players perform and to predict future performances. You can call me a Bravo fan boy - right about who is going to perform better consistently? We don't get lost on the age of a player or the possibility to have a keeper for the next decade.

Barca needs top performing players today, not a player who might perform at a top level 5 years from now.

I think the MATS fan boys should apologize to the rest of the real Barca fans for their ignorance and lack of foresight.

My eyes bleed after reading this post.

I miss VV, not that near post sociedad fraud lol

 

[blaugrana1987]

God I miss bravo.

MATS is one of the reasons we are playin so bad. Why? Because playing from backline that is encouraged is often exploited by mats and his risky long "accurate" passes. Yes, they are accurare but more often then not they are long balls that are harder for midfielders to control, so alot of times opposition players simply bully us of the ball.

Fuck of arrogant cunt

 

[DonAK]

Well, that's the coach's fault if he's instructing his defenders and GKs to overdo it. Criticize where it is, but that's just OTT.

When Messi is not playing(or dropping down deep) he and our CBs are acting as the team's playmakers. Totally wrong approach by Lucho.

 

[dakt]

Did have couple of good saves, but managed to fuck up again.

wtf? This is not Mats fault!

He always says "Thats my style learn to live with it". LE has to take his fair (big) share of blame, but Bravo never played like that.

Mats too wasnt playing like this last two seasons.

He didnt receive the ball this often to be the playmaker.
Our Defenders trust him so they pass to him or may be Luho tells them to pass to him.
What's wrong if he tries an accurate long ball while in the same situation Bravo would boot the ball and we lose it on both occassions?
It's a tactical issue

Lucho needs to fix.
And Ter stegen ought to improve as well

 

[God Serena]

Mats can't take a dump in the woods without people jumping on him and blaming him for something, even if there's nothing to blame him for.

That near post sociedad fraud is the number one at Manchester City, playing CL and fighting the top spots of the premier with Guardiola.

VV is currently at Middlesbrough, having played 17 games in the last 3 seasons.

Are you seriously insinuating Bravo is better or more important than Valdes was, especially in here?

Man...
