Ronald Koeman

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.

Biggest question of all: Do we even have enough money to get proper replacements for Pique, Roberto, Umtiti, maybe MATS, and other usual suspects? As it stands we only have money for free transfers

Why would anyone want Messi to leave, he is still the best player in the world, the clubs needs him.

no one wants Messi to leave but in the same time no one wants to see Messi scoring +30 goals a La Liga season only to not win it thanks to the joke our team is , especially our deffence.

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.

Yea, we were kind of duped about Koeman playing the youngsters, since we had big injuries to some old players. But as veterans started to recover, they went back in as if they were some sort of irreplaceable superstars.

This guy had everything in his favor and his stubbornness kill him... Xavi is not the answer, though, just because it worked with Pep doesn't mean lightning will strike twice...

Mats isn't an issue just need to change the goalkeeping coaches.
We need a commanding CB a dm and a St and we should be able to challenge. So around 120m all up in this market. Messi leaving would enable use to do that but if he stays we'd need to sell coutinho and griezman to do it while also moving on all those players.

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.

If Messi leaves but the likes of Busquets, Pique, Alba or Roberto stay that would be absolute disaster.

Dembele - Trincao sub at that point was one of the most stupid subs he has done.

It's even worse, because it shows that the learned nothing from the Levante game. Did the same shit again.

You can also forget someone like Haaland joining. Was reported here in Norway that he would only consider joining Barca if Messi stays and the team is competitive enough to challenge for the CL.

It's going to hurt us a lot and we'll need to really hit on some of our next signings or else it's only going to get worse. Time for our scouting to prove their worth and for Alemany and co. to rely on it.

Yea, don't like and think these types of conditions are normal from Haaland's camp.

Yes, time for Laporta and his staff to show us they have the goods. With the managerial change, and with the transfers they will make. Things can change if Ansu comes back, the current young players develop, and we make 3-4 transfers that do very well.

Xavi might be the answer, we don't know, he could be brilliant but it is a huge risk. But Koeman had his opportunity and blew it, I can't believe how the team collapsed at the end of the season, I have seen it in one-off games but not continuous week after week.

The next 2-3 years might shape how the club will look for the next 10 years.

Don't think people even realize how big of a mess Bartomeu left the club in. He should honestly be stripped of his club membership and be declared persona non grata not only at the Camp Nou, but in the entire city of Barcelona.
