Laporta and baboon is a good reference, other then that rubbish. Lewa was kinda 'we're here signing' as the superstar signing, which with all due respect to lewa this isn't the club where his qualities could be cherrished as superstar, he isnt flashy enough. Auba had all those more then him. Baboon shouldnt have missed players like alvarez being more then affordable in time. Barto fucked us to the ground, but laporta isnt a saint either. We're truly fucked, and with xavi there is even less hope that we are going out of that hole.His first half was about rescueing Koeman's car wreck and reaching the CL, so the club doesn't go bankrupt. He fullfilled that goal. His first full season we got knocked out in the CL group stage, but won LaLiga. This season without Araujo's stupid mistake, we play the final in Wembley and in LaLiga we'd also have more points if the refs didn't fuck us over, especially in both clasicos.
If that's no mans land for you with a team under heavy financial restrictions, then okay. For me it's acceptable. The club knows by now he's not Guardiola 2.0. But there is no guarantee of better football with a new coach if he's not Pep or Klopp and we can fall down even worse. Not to mention the wasted money for a new coach and his staff.
If the club isn't certain about a new coach, it's the safer approach to hold on to what's acceptable in the moment during construction. You can see the stadium construction as a metaphor for the team's as well. Even in the jungle, a baboon only lets go of one branch if he has another in his hand. Laporta didn't have a certainty of a new good branch, so he decided to keep the old one where you're sure you don't fall to your death at least.
Also it's always easy to imagine players who left would have performed better. Auba saved the club financially to register all the new signings by the way. If instead of your mentioned players others would have been sold like Torres, you'd post the same sentence with their names. That's more laughable to me.
Unpopular opinion but I wouldn’t be able to take of those two seriouslyThe best part is when HE says: control your emotions.
Loki's reality - Araujo doesn't get a red and we're CL winners + refs are after us in the league, otherwise we were champions.His first half was about rescueing Koeman's car wreck and reaching the CL, so the club doesn't go bankrupt. He fullfilled that goal. His first full season we got knocked out in the CL group stage, but won LaLiga.

Also funny, how you blame the players like Auba, Ous and Adama for good results, but Xavi for the bad ones.
For a team of teenagers and veterans we were much more competitive than I thought we would be.Malvolio exaggerates everything because he is a Messi fan and basically a weak Barca for him nothing, especially without Messi. Might get back in the boat if we make it big again, but until then, he'll moan about anything.
Porto just proved against Arsenal that they are no joke. Last season they played a great tie vs Inter and lost because of bad luck. If it's so easy winning CL groups and beating B sides, how come United got shat on in the groups and Liverpool got dicked by Atalanta.
I mean, you can say about any team almost that they were sent home by the first serious team they faced. Even City got sent home by the first serious team they faced in CL by this logic. Also Arsenal, Inter and so on.
It is true that in the league we were not consistent enough this season. But last season we won the whole thing... so...
Every team according to him except for 2-3 select elite sides is some sort of bum.

A far cry from the glory days from xavi iniesta messi or msn but what do our fans expect.
we competed and that is more than anyone thought of this team. me included.
Actually I'm spitting facts while you bums deal in ifs and buts.Malvolio exaggerates everything because he is a Messi fan and basically a weak Barca for him nothing, especially without Messi. Might get back in the boat if we make it big again, but until then, he'll moan about anything.

We didn't stop him having chances, that's what I've said. If he didn't score from those chances or scored less than he should have wasn't because we stopped him.Malvolio take on the PSG tie has just been way off ever since the first leg.
Mbappe was good, we didn't stop him, he got lucky against him
When it was the other way around.
We only won the first leg because of there keeper, we didn't.
We aren't the better side or at the very least their equal over the two legs, with 11 men on the field, we were.
