If we manage to hold on to Laporta like Madrid did with Florentino, we have a chance for something big in the future. I just hope we can keep our talents, not lose them to richer teams, and that they continue to develop.
Laporta, Deco, Xavi seems a good management trio for me, even a great one potentially.

After 1 good game? Lol.
Yes, you can easily see things coming together. Squad looks really good on paper (age distribution is brilliant). We also won the League last year and will win it this year (quote me on that).
Life is good.

Yeah, glossing over the title win as if it didn't happen is something I can never understand. I understand we dominated the league big time in the Messi era, but to do that today is much more difficult.

No one glosses over the title more than you who made out won it as Real were shite and not motivated as reason.
The squad strength is also something continually argued against whether than be in comparison to Real or other European teams.

Lol.I don't gloss over it. The title win is why I fully support Laporta and Xavi. Unlike some here.
Aye fully support them to extent make excuses why Real didnt win league and then play down the whole club in that 'cannot win for years'.
Very supportive...
There is no one that goes on more about what Barca as a club lack in their squad/coaching and how much can expect to achieve.
'Fully support' is just a cliche that is not reality.

Well, Madrid are a better side. It's even more awesome performance to win a title against current Champions League winners like Barca did last season. It's a much greater achievement to win a title vs Madrid than, say, the likes of Dortmund, or Marseille, or some other level B or C sides.
Winning is what counts the most. If you win against a better team, it means you did an awesome job. This is huge credit for Laporta and Xavi. At this rate, with such quality work, we will become a better team than Madrid. What we have to do is reach the top 4 in CL to get there.

No Barca were the better side last season... stop playing down club with excuses why Real didnt win.
Indeed is achuevement to win league as you were told when trying to play it down to Reals weaknesses of motivation.
Winning does count... and some knew the club could win.. others didnt think they could and bumped gums about how much better Man Utd/Spurs were let alone Real.
'Support' is now to claim club are poor, cant win etc. Then act smug towards those who told you were wrong and better than that once proven wrong.
Top stuff.

You are clueless as usual. The fact that Barca were a better side last season in the league is mainly due to Laporta and Xavi's great work. The players too, but the management of this club has been spot on in the last season and it seems to carry over this season too.
It is simply about what you highlight the most and what you consider the biggest differentiating factor compared to Madrid. For you, it's the squad, while you largely shit on Xavi and Laporta. For me, it's the managing staff that gets the most laurels for last season.

Nah you are clueless and proven so when claimed Barca worse than Man Utd/Spurs and cant win v Real for years.
Barca had better squad last season than Real.
Going on about 'management being spot on' when bitch about the squad non stop and claim poorer sides are better.
Top stuff.

Clueless as fuck. Better squad than CL and La Liga holders at the time, while the squad can't make it past group stages. Get your head out of your ass for a 2nd and realize we hit it right with Laporta, Xavi, and now Deco. Things are looking good, compared to other clubs who have far more resources and achieve far less.
The squad has improved though, despite losing Dembele, I give you that. As a result, we'll probably go pretty far in CL.

Haha so you decide last season the Barca board, coaches and players were not enough to win league for years and not even better than Man Utd and Spurs.
Nah I was proven correct... you had all that same 'CL winners' rationale when claimed Real would win for years and best side in Europe... wrong as usual.
I said differently even though Real were CL and league winners...that was part of the argument at the time.. not some revelation a year later.
Didnt support the club or trust enough could win.
Simple.
As for the 'more resources' argument... I am the one who has been telling you that while you whine and bitch about how poor the Barca squad is and cant possibly compete.

Even if United have weaker squad after this summer, that's because they are managed worse. You simply can't win this argument, no matter how hard you try.
Barca did more with much less. Other managers touted as better options than Xavi are failing with more resources than Barca and Xavi have to work with.
Putting it down to squad quality as if Laporta and Xavi don't have a huge role in that is a copout on your part.
