Positive Thinking Cules

[Messi983]

We dodged the bullet when we didn't spend money on Valverdes darling Willian

He probably got summer diet tips from Hazard.

He couldn't be worse than Dumbele though, could he?

As much as I dislike Dembele...yes he could. Look at him at Arsenal lol.

Sure, but Valverde wanted him 3 years ago, I'm sure he'd deliver more to us than Dembele did in those years and he'd probably be gone by now anyway.

I am still amazed how little value we got with our three 100ME+ transfers. On a positive note: only 1 more year of Dembele, 2 of Coutinho and 3 of Griezmann. That's progress.

6 out of our first 10 games in La Liga are tough .. if we play well in these games and win for the most part then our path to winning La Liga becomes much easier

 

[mesiesta]

We still can win Copa Del Rey.

 

[Messigician]

He is staying

More of a fiction :

Laporta & Messi are playing this cinema to put pressure on Tebas.

Ansu - Depay/Kun - Dembele/Griezmann/Demir
Pedri - Busquets/Nico - Frenkie
Alba - Garcia - Araujo - Emerson/Dest

I like our first 11 when everyone is fit. Lots of exciting talents. I hope Gavi (I honestly can't see Puig or Coutinho anymore), Balde, Demir and Nico get promoted. I will survive watching the team next season

 

[Horatio]

If we had gotten De Paul we would have been good to go.

 

[jamrock]

We just gotta go all Youth & start the rebuild, we will have to sell de jong in a season are two, I'm sure he won't want to waste his time during a rebuild and just pay to keep the youngsters we have.

Emerson----Araujo---Garcia----alba/balde

-----------busquets/Nico

------frankie-----------Pedri

------Depay---fati----?/Demir


After this summer, busquets goes, maybe alba as well.

2022/2023 De jong & Alba goes, use that money to sigh a 2 up & coming youngsters.

Integrate gavi, nico, balde fully into the first team, and we move.

The future is bright, the future is Barcelona.

Get the defense sorted and go from there

I would be SHOCKED if we don’t get top 3 still. Might have yet another painful champions league defeat but there is no chance we don’t qualify for Europe next season. Laughable seeing people saying that.

This squad still has good players. Im going to miss Messi but the team will have to actually play as a team now. Not run everything through him.

 

[Messi983]

We'll survive and come back stronger than ever.

Messi was always "a problem" that needed to be sorted sooner or later
He is the best player ever and was unquestionably still a net+ player last year and every year he played for Barcelona
But there were of course negatives as well as positives with him - as with any player - and with every year, the negatives would be closer to outweighing the positives
It is quite easy to see that him leaving sooner rather than later could be positive for the team in the end
The only thing the club needs to think about is to give him a positive, perfect ending without any negative feelings.
Of course, it would be much better if a manager was in place that could build something new in a competent way

 

[FCBfan22]

Barca is not a comfort zone for seniors/players anymore. That's the only positive I can make out of this situation.
