Think Xavi is nailed on after the photos at the airport with Puyol.

Then I hope we're talking about a new project, and not reheating the same soup for the 5th time, maybe this time it's magically good even though it's at least 4 years past its expiration date.

If Xavi comes and tries to play some intense pressing, total-football style with players with no legs who moan when they have to train hard... this should be funny.

I have faith in him that he is more lucid and more determined to become a top manager.

For Xavi to work here, we MUST move on Busi, Pique and Messi as soon as the season ends. he needs a clean slate and i don't think these delusional seniors understand that. (bar Messi)

I hope so too. Move on the veterans, let Messi leave to PSG and chase his last CL dream, and clear those insane wages off our books.

Meanwhile, try to bring in quality players for as little money as possible, like Depay, maybe Wijnaldum, whatever deals we can. The only veteran who's kept a good physical level in terms of speed is Alba. All the rest are not put o par physically for what is played right now at Europe's best team.

I think Leicester would beat us in a CL tie.

Don't want him around, simply because he would infect the new players with his mentality.

The funniest thing is that... Looking back at that Dembele CF experiment with Griez and Leo behind was actually working. He reverted back to more rigid 3-5-2 with only Griez and Leo up front for that RM game... Didn't work... Still tried the shame shit until today... Still doesn't work.

It's incredible. No need to speak about his in-game managment.

Xavi would be a breath of fresh air no doubt but there's too many bums on this team for him to make any kind of genuine impact.

Huge clearout is needed if he comes. Should be given a fresh slate and quality players to work with, otherwise it would be the same old shit.

Tbh, Messi leaving would hurt us on short term. He'll leave a massive void of ability-driven goals that will take time to redistribute.

Re-introducing the veterans in the run in and then chucking on 4 players who've barely kicked a ball for 4 months at 1-1 in the penultimate game, tells you all you need to know about an apparent "transitional" season.
