If you want to insult him is Spanish, at least learn how to say it! It’s Puta Mierda.

He is Polish. Wanna see you speak a few words in Polish, abuelito?

by Myesyats Sat Aug 15, 2020 1:39 am

isnt it merda in portuguese at least?

by elitedam Sat Aug 15, 2020 1:47 am

It is. Don't listen to him. Your Portuguese is great.

Historic low for us, but it was inevitable things were going, it was a slow decline in the end, and hopefully this is the rock bottom, and we can begin our rebuild. Largely will depending on what happens with the club managerment though obviously.

I really think to be effective we would need a strong new manager who will ring serious changes, including a clear out of players that are clearly redundant.

Xavi makes sense in such circumstances. He is basically in the same situation Lampard was last year. A club that can't sign any players and has to primarily rely on the academy. And who else is better than Xavi to do that. He knows the club and his ideas resonate with La Masia graduates.

Just hope people don't expect him to do a Guardiola, because he won't access to what Pep did back in 2008.

A more urgent matter would be the board in my opinion. Bart has to go.

by Winter is Coming Sun Aug 16, 2020 4:54 am

Xavi won't come in until this board is gone they want a Yes-man type of manager and Xavi stated he wants more control. Also I'm sure he wants to wait it out till some of his buddies retire so he doesn't have to be the one to let them go, so I think in 2-3 years from now will get him depending on what our next manager does that is.

by futbol Sun Aug 16, 2020 1:52 pm

The damage done is irreversible. Literally all but 2 or 3 players are about to retire (Pique, Busquets, Suarez, Messi, Alba, Rakitic, Vidal) or have no future at the club because they are not good enough (Sergi Roberto, Coutinho, Griezmann, Démbéle, Semedo).

Like, who does even stay for the future? Ter Stegen, Lenglet, De Jong? Complete madness. Laughing

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Aug 18, 2020 11:15 pm

According to Bart, the only players that he is not willing to sell are "Leo Messi, Ter Stegen, Lenglet, Semedo, De Jong y Griezmann"

by danyjr Tue Aug 18, 2020 11:21 pm

Is he willing to sell Pjanić already then? Laughing

by BarcaLearning Wed Aug 19, 2020 4:41 am

I dont believe anything he says, but interesting that he mentioned Dembele. Dembele must be showing signs of real promise given his constant problems and high value, but still to be named, so Im hopeful to see Dembele to shine next season...

Publicly proclaiming a list of players from the squad that are not wanted anymore is such a brilliant thing to do for a football club president

by rincon Wed Aug 19, 2020 8:23 am

Brilliant strategy Laughing

lower your negotiation power and piss off your own players

Well we are repeating for years now that our club is run by clowns, so i guess this is nothing unexpected.

by zenmaster Sun Aug 23, 2020 9:43 pm

Hopefully it will take 5+ years to see Barcelona doing descent in Liga/CL now. Low phase of Barcelona.

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Aug 25, 2020 6:37 pm

Well... time to prepare for a Messi-less future, and without the funds of a Messi sale.

Based off the latest rumors it looks like next year we'll play

MATS
Semedo-Lenglet-Pique-Alba
Pjanic-De Jong-Coutinho
Fati-Griezmann-Dembele

Quite a few weak positions there, reinforcing the wingers and FBs seems like a priority.

by Myesyats Tue Aug 25, 2020 6:49 pm

I think Francisco Trincao will play at RW, he's much better than Fati

Maybe we'll sign a striker too, there's still over a month till the market closes.

by danyjr Tue Aug 25, 2020 10:41 pm

Millions will be released on wages due to the likes of Busquets, Messi and Suárez leaving. Add Rakitić to the equation too while we're at it.

If Barça are smart they can make this work long term. Sadly, this board is anything but smart.

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Aug 25, 2020 10:46 pm

Busquets is allegedly staying, albeit for a bench role
