Congrats Bill. You've managed to witness about 95% of them by my calculations

Flick was ready to take over. Instead we got more of Xavi and his flip flap brother. I may be wrong, and Xavi is not the worst of managers, but we really need someone with a more neutral view who can possibly instill a new mentality into this team. Xavi moans and bickers way too much.

I could post this again and again. Xavi got schooled by Girona twice, a team that Madrid destroyed, not acceptable.

There are rumors of Sergi Roberto renewal, and those who underperform are kept on exorbitant wages. Club de amigos.

Barca

Getting spanked by Girona home and away

Xavi staying is the best thing that could happen to us

I saw a pic recently when Neymar scored 22 goals in La Liga and wasn't even the top scorer. Messi scored double that ammount. And Messi wasn't even the top scorer cause Ronaldo scored 5 more

We were so privileged to see it all.

Yeah Ronaldo and Messi were aliens

Ffs, ISP died tonight n just came on n didnt even realise all these matches were on lol... gotta catch up on all the highlights then... at least seeing Man C win... n so Girona gonna beat us to 2nd place? Surprised but then im not Top 4 was always the target lol...

At least Upamecano seems to be back for Bayern, no more Kim to gift Real goals hopefully....

Upamecano is more known for his brain farts than Kim is, to be fair. I don't watch Bayern regularly, but I've talked to more than one Bayern fan who says that he's been a good signing so far. I know he was injured for a while. Mistakes can happen, it's when they become a habit that they're an issue.

Please don't leave

Madrid fans have short memories, last season wasn't so long ago.

We don't win leagues back to back so it was between Barca and Atleti and Barca won. If we win the league next season it'll be a miracle

1-0 their way to victories and relying on MATS was only going to last so long

I think he is trolling, he can't be serious at this point.

Hala always trying to play up like Real winning anything is difficult lol... everyone knows Barca are broke n have no hope while Real will have the best squad like ever, I mean wtf I can only LOL at these posts XD

Anyway, just saw our captain Sergi fking Roberto again gifting Girona their second goal, so no doubt he contributed again to our great showing XD Looks like we got spanked due to our high line n non existent midfield again...

XAVI, SELLING THIS FKER ROBERTO PLS, N JUST SIGN A DM. I want us to make top 4 next season XD

N Thimmy ur right Upamecano is mistake prone, but Kims showing was so bad is the first leg, anyone would be preferred to him for sure

Good to see you’re more NATURAL now!

Lewandowski's salary will be €32 million next season.

Ouch

Some Barça fans are still confident they can offload him to Saudi Arabia Not even they would pay him anything close to that.

What is going on with Vitor Roque? Read a couple discouraging things, like Xavi ignoring him and won't even speak to him.

Seemed to be going well when he arrived. Got minutes, scored some goals then disappeared.

Yep some concerning news in the past few days, overpaying bums aside.

Xavi's behavior toward Roque has indeed concerned me in the past months, he had a string of really good appearances and then suddenly disappeared for reasons unknown. His agent's comments are on point, it is indefensible that he gives a lot of minutes to Ferran, Yamal, Romeu, Fermin but not Roque for some reason. Spanish bias? That is one rumor floating around.

Another piece of news that really annoyed me is that Xavi wants Eric Garcia back and counts on him for next season. Huh? Has he not learned with Romeu? Performing in Girona is not an indication of anything. He is not good enough! Again, questions arise about his Spanish bias! Awful, awful talent ID.

Xavi is an idiot, pure and simple. He seems unreasonably biased toward Spanish players and has a terrible eye for talent. Laporta should resign for pushing him to renew. They are as bad as Bartomeu and co.

Barca about to get Guido Rodriguez on a free transfer. That's your CDM sorted then

Lots of hype around the Estevão kid. Looks like we both bought the wrong Brazilians. We are now unfortunately top heavy with Endrick's arrival. Paves the way for Barca to buy him but how will they cough up the 60ME that’s needed to get him?

Dont have high hopes of any good signings anyway, but the basic requirement of simply knowing which players are good which are not good is definitely the most important thing Im looking for going forward lol... n the need to get out the shit players asap has to be done... so I hope these rumours arent that since the media cooks any bs all the time these days. Wont believe anything until I see it happen

And pls, since we cant sign anyone good, Lewand just keep, without him we prolly wouldnt have made top4, wtf ppl thinking lol, play Ferran up front instead? XD

rumors are we are close to the 1:1 rule which means we will be able to make signings, possibly. Big contract with Nike on the way too

Guido is meant for a sub role and doesnt hinder the arrival of a 'top' midfielder (kimmich or other)

How is that even possible if you haven't sold anyone and are about to raise Lewa's salary as well as others that are probably not in the media.

Heard Barca are trying to get out of the Nike contract

With Xavi at the helm I doubt he wants anyone other than Guido for the CDM role. Probably wants Olmo and Silva too to top of an excellent summer for Xavi

I could be absolutely wrong but his minutes dwindled considerably after he got the red card vs Alaves and which he followed up by dropping a bad egg type performance in his next outing.

Me reckons that Xavi lost faith in him after that which, well, sucks if you're Vitor. Especially if man like Ferran Torres getting minutes ahead of you.

Yeah but that red card was wrongly given to him so what reason is that to ostracize him? He was playing really well before that ,even as a winger

It makes no sense given that he trusts other players who be having stinker after stinker

() Positive relations between Nico William’s camp and Barcelona, who’ve told them that Nico will be a strategic player as part of the future of the club & are optimistic in concluding a deal. Xavi sees Nico as a unique player. @tjuanmarti #Transfers

things are looking up brother

rumors in the last 2 days: all in for Nico, Xavi Simons on loan

Doubt Nico has the balls to leave that place. It's essentially the spanish QSG. He'll become the most hated person in that region. There is a reason Inaki stayed there despite being able to join a top team at Nicos age

Simons is probably joining QSG so he's probably out of reach

It's definitely going to be Olmo probably even Silva if you manage to pull a lever or two

Olmo is more expensive than Nico, must be fake news or at least I hope it is a smokescreen

Simons will go out on loan and he apparently has a lot of say in the decision as to where he goes and he may prefer Barca as Fabrizio reports
