Koeman makes these comments because he is still bitter that Laporta sacked him. Barca is among the big teams that gave the most minutes to youngsters last year, according to statistics.

We are after top old players simply because the ones that are top class and in their prime cost 100m+ or close to that range. And we already have too many youngsters who need to prove themselves.

We'd never get close to signing someone like Gundogan right now if he wasn't 33 and free agent.

Still the best ever in my opinion. With more structure and modern fitness this guy would have been insane this days.
People tend to overhype Ramos snd Puyol but Koeman was the complete package. Jaap Stam body with Puyol leadership with Zidane shooting ability and vision. Just insane and his trophies are an injustice to his potential.
Sadly we had a short memory and tons of plastics and Laporta did him very dirty in the end.

Koeman: "At Barça I did not receive the same support as Xavi did. When they fired me, I think we were 9 points from Real Madrid and this season the difference is 10 points. You must have the president's support in order to succeed."


Truer words have never been said!
All this propaganda that with Koeman the team was collapsing in the 9th place,
whereas in fact the difference from the top was less than this season, and it was only the START of the season, when ALWAYS all teams are crammed close to one another with small point gaps

Laporta never wanted Koeman.
He should have fired him from the start if he didn't believe in him

Koeman: "Barça's problem is that Xavi is out, Messi is out, I am out… It's important to respect the legends of the club. Barça have not been at the top to compete in recent years."

So he's comparing the leaving of Messi and even Xavi with himself, who lead the club to the 9th place of LaLiga? What a pathetic grumpy man he became consumed by hate, because he values his coaching skills way higher than they actually are.

Koeman went from legend to permanent troll, he’ll die outside of the club — bank on it

OK. He trolls a club of chauvinists that mistreated him by stating some obvious things.

He was a bigger fotbal legend than Xavi and took the 8-2 team at a great risk(plastics tend to think Xavi started the rebuild).
A huge Barcelona legend only second to Messi, Cruyff and Iniesta, but Font and Laporta treated him like a beggar because Xavi was catalan.
Especially Font.
Ramos was piss poor compared to Koeman but somehow it's considered the greatest.

This forum will not exist without Koeman because there will be no Laporta, nor Ronaldinho. The last golden age was so deep in the past that nobody will expect anything on that scale.
I don't think Cruyff would have made it with Roberto, Umtiti and Lenglet, but somehow Koeman needed to do it in the eyes of the plastics and was crucified by all plastics for different reasons. That's why Laporta got no blame for ruining the team and that's why Koeman can say whatever he wants.
He can't be inside of the club since for the club is a second class citizen. I bet they have more respect for Roberto or Alba.
