How does Bernardo Silva fit in right now?

-Sharing right forward with Lamine?
-Most advanced of the midfield trio?
-Left attacking forward?

Incredible player but doesn't seem like the priority with Lamine emergence and Raphinhas consolidation.

I don't think so. These guys delivered a league title against a superior rival last season. There's zero credible proof that we need big changes at management level.

If we get the finances back on track, and then we fuck it up, then yes, totally. That's a totally different scenario. But blaming the management for not doing miracles when we basically can afford to sign only rejects or cheap players... doesn't make much sense to me.

Imo Barca in order to truly compete needs to sign : 1 striker to replace the polish old man, 2 a quality starting LW, 3 a good starting DM , 4 a starting fullback and 5 a good GK to compete with Stegen like it was back in the day with Bravo.
In the actual circumstances that's impossible, they don't have the money to do it nor the skills to pick the right players for the right project.

If Klopp was to come in one or two seasons I'd be fine but imo that's fantasy thinking.

Even if we signed all that, most top managers will want to come in and bring their profile of signings anyways.

Probably why we it was out of Xavi and Motta in the end.

Xavi will no doubt hit the exit next year at the first sign of a slump with Marquez taking over.

Laughable copium that fans think we'll get Klopp next summer. The guy laughed in the face of United before he joined Liverpool and we aren't much better in terms of being a mess. Too much politics at this club for any serious outside manager to deal with.

Will still watch and support Barca but Laporta is smoking some serious crack with his decisions since he returned. If he signs the 2 Joaos I'm officially #Laportaout. Mendes bumboy.

I think if Botox Xavi has another good season that we will go for him. Provided he doesn't move on to United as per latest rumors.

As Xavi said when talking why he stayed, "we are all born in Barcelona".

Clearly the priority around this club. Be born in Barcelona, or find Barca DNA and then circle out.

Maybe they want to go with an entirely new midfield with experience and ease off the gas a bit with Pedri and Gavi.

I don't know how I feel about having city's "old" Midfield.

I wouldn't sign him personally we have other properties, only after those are addressed can we look to him.

Bernardo is both clear pros and clear cons. Adds instant value for both midfield and attack is the main advantage, with his age being the biggest con.
