20mil player at max, what a waste of money. Hurts my eyes seeing him play on the wing, so limited. A tree has better first touch.

He's played more than enough last year to show he's nothing more than an average player who should never be a starter and nowhere near worth what we've paid for him. Could use the money spent on him better elsewhere.

Notice how basically every single player is underperforming for Barcelona under Xavi. At what point do you stop blaming a lack of individual talent and blame the system, tactics, style of play, and intensity, everything that a manager is in charge of?

Also, let’s assume that our squad is as bad as what we’re seeing on the field… you can still not neglect how teams much worse than ours, as far as individual talent goes, are playing much much better. Tottenham, Sociedad, and Girona, to name a few.

Xavi out. With respect of course. He’s still a legend but he’s way out of his depth here. Maybe he could go back to the Middle East? 😀😀

Again, these fools sign a winger who can't 1) dribble 2) beat an opponent with speed/acceleration 3) create or assist or 4) score goals.

-Same for Ferran Torres
-Same for Joao Felix

This forum doesn't like Dembele but he was 10x better than any of these guys.

For how much should we sell him for in the summer so we don't make a loss? Is it possbile? Sell him, unload Lewa, don't buy Felix, bring Nico and Fati for free.

Nico/Fati Roque/Ferran Yamal/Nico

And legend Pedro for rotation.

His value on the books will be around 35-40m. Should definitely be able to sell for at least that money back to EPL where he still has "name" or potentially to SA.

I would also like to offload Ferran (probably loan as doubt anyone would buy him) and bring a veteran striker to ease the pressure on Roque. Morata's contract at Atletico is expiring and if they won't renew him wouldn't mind getting him on a 1-2 year contract. Yes, he can be frustrating to watch but at least still has legs unlike Lewa.

Who is this Nico guy? The Williams younger brother?

That forward line would smash the Europa Conference League groups, that's for sure.

Yes.

Well that attack should be a lot better than this year's. It's not ideal but that's the reality. What else to do in this situation? Also can give minutes to Giui and Darwich if they play well.

You're banking on both Nico and Roque to perform for us. I would say we have to get rid of Lewa, Raphinha for some money and buy at least one striker and a winger.

We'll probably end up with Felix-Lewa-Nico. Ferran-Roque-Yamal as rotation. Pretty shit overall.
