Ffs Baka is out ?
Ffs Baka is out ?
Shame Adli isn’t a defender, you’d think he’d be due for a chance with that many ppl out
Do you wan him to play?Ffs Baka is out ?
Barca are gonna cease to exist anytime now.
Didnt you hear our experts during the summer ?
what happened to our 350k gk?
He didn't finish top 4 last season so he does not guarantee top 4 finishes.Guarantees top 4 finishes. Improves players and plays an attacking brand of football.
Definitely Milan caliber
Non-EU spot for the summer when he leaveswhat happened to our 350k gk?![]()
Sam:You just wait and see
Barca has decided to sacrifice - or advance, to use a more neutral language - their future profits for short-term success, gambling that said short-term success will bail them out in the long-run. The amount of levers pulled last summer in doing so was insane and unique and imposes a lot of risks, especially in a time where we witness one global crisis after another ready to punish those who trade on thin ice like Barca.
I have never seen such things in football and neither have most pundits. If it was such a clever low-risk-high-reward business strategy I guess we'd see struggling clubs desperate to buy their way back to success all around Europe pulling off such things. But we haven't. It doesn't seem like it's deemed a clever way of structuring your finances and incomings. Especially since we're talking about the club who financially speaking already messed up this badly that they had to let Messi go despite him even willing to more than half his salary. How fucked up is that? Do we really deem those very same people trustworthy when they say it's a good idea to pull lever number seven to get Kessie?
You might say "Who are you to judge", and you're probably right quite frankly. But... I still think Barcas strategy will fail them as hard as it already failed them and got then in the shitter in the first place. It's just a matter of time. Their short-term success is no proof of how their plan is working yet. Imagine pulling all those levers to make a shopping campaign a la RM in the 2000s and still struggling to improve. It's no surprise to me. Not all clubs are Chelsea after all. But I wouldn't just declare their strategy successful after not even a year.
if that's the only reason for his signing, it's even funnier that people unironically demanded that he should play instead of tataNon-EU spot for the summer when he leaves
Which kinda makes sense if we were planning some non-EUs
Not just ‘restricted budget’. Lowered the squad cost from around 180m to a little over 100m now. Competing against Juve who cost over 350m a year, and Inter around 230m. To compete against those guys with a budget that’s 50m less than even Napoli, and less than Roma and only slightly above Lazio?Very well said, and I'd include also MMMs tremendous work in redoing the whole squad in such a short span of time, a very restricted budget and little sales since all the rats decided to rather run down their contracts.
That being said, there is still much on the line.
Barcelona is a club that receives tremendous support from state government, La Liga, and UEFA. I don’t think they will really fade away, because of that network of support.You just wait and see

a maguire x tata defence will be a delight to watchMaguire is shit and you are a terrorist for wanting him.
Grabs his own defenders on corners/any high balls into the box and causes panic. Gets dragged out of position a lot. Thinks hes Baresi on the ball but but once he loses it gets out of position. Like with Italy's goal vs England last month. Maguire kills you if you want to play a high line because he turns like a cruiseliner. Horrible leadership. Slow footwork when defending crosses like for Giroud goal for France and heading is suppose to be the one good thing he excels out.
you want pioli on psilocybin? he's already playing messias at cm without it
Executionmaguire instead of tomori (and at starting lineup) or dollar instead of maignan?

We shouldn’t rotate against lazio. It will be most probably on Friday and inter game will be on Wednesday . Full rotation should be made on spezia game. Because games will be Wednesday inter - Saturday spezia - Tuesday interInter s not getting top 4 imo.
But yea, for cl they ll have to rotate a lot. Focus on next 3 (must wins)then rotate lazio. So exciting.
Yeah, he is ok. But I would rather not have him at Milan.I dont think Sarri is bad. But he isnt anything special.
That sarri-ball hype that was going on when he moved to chelsea turned out to be overrated. He is a solid coach though.
(4) Multiple "referee errors" in La LigaBarcelona is a club that receives tremendous support from state government, La Liga, and UEFA. I don’t think they will really fade away, because of that network of support.
For example, Barcelona was consistently the beneficiary of referee errors in the Champions League, I can name 3 off the top of my head: 1) Milan’s (Sheva) disallowed goal in 2005/06, 2) the famous Chelsea fixtures, and 3) Milan being called for a penalty when the ball wasn’t even in fucking play (Ibra‘s second season)…
^ Barcelona was found to have paid millions for “referee advice” during that time period.
God I hate that fucking club. I think I hate Barcelona more than any other club. They fucking tortured us in the CL in my angst years and it scarred me for life.
These are the dates for Cremonese and Lazio. We play Lazio on a Saturday, also afternoon and not night.We shouldn’t rotate against lazio.

Merda may decide to give up on Serie A and focus on CL.We're rotating for sure. That said, Merda are facing the same schedule. They have it even worse than us.
Somehow I trust our bench more than theirs.
