MU is bigger.....barca has been more successful in d last decade no doubt....

being big and being successful r two different things

Barca has more trophies than M U and is richer than M U

http://www.forbes.com/soccer-valuations/

,so how on earth is M U bigger?....

incredible70:
So between Barca and Man u which one is bigger since barca has two more UCL than united? And since united was/is richer than Madrid does that also means united is bigger than Madrid too?

Barca is richer than M U.

lekkie073:
No club is bigger than manutdas at now....for a club to be ourightly bigger than another u must beat d club in all three conditions together....not one or two.
meaning.....u must have more trophies,more money and more fanbase. without all three, am sorry u r not bigger. the most u can have is to be on par

Barca beat M U in 2 out of the 3 criterias yet M U is bigger than Barca?.lol

GBR1:

United and Madrid have been the biggest at various points in time in this decade, Barcelona never in that frame of time even with overwhelming football success in that period relative to others. I sincerely hope you didn't ask that just to get a debate.

Barcelona is many things but not the biggest; you guys should know your place.

I gave dat response with regards to ur limited options for an answer. if u had not limit d options I might have given some explanations....

Una get time well well o; if you guys use all this time analysing who the bigger club is during the Euros, when exactly are we now going to analyse the Euro 2016? Team performance, individual players performance, who is improving or declining, etc.

Now that Barca has been found out and the fans exposed by the experts whose work is to always find out and expose, can we move onto the next issue?

I salute those engaging in the avoidable argument, the bait was clearly set, some still fell for it.


If not showing up to engage in a meaningless argument makes me a coward as envisaged, then I'd gladly be one than waste my precious time on what's not.

Bykebyke, abeg wetin dey happen for Euro, any hope for the Spanish guys?

Good!

Modified: I hope they are not planning to play Casillas between the sticks. It could be disastrous, hope the news going around wouldn't have effect on DDG.

Arda Turan has lost form completely, had to be replaced in their loss to Modric's Croatia

sebod:

Good!

one barca player[turan] just make us cry....

pelvicky:

That's serious, but I actually didn't expect Turkey to defeat a midfield of Modric and Rakitic.
Turan must regain his form if he must have a place in our team next season.

Let us cash on him now

I doubt if we are going to cash on him now, let's just give him one more season. He has Roberto, Rafinha and even D. Suarez to contend with in the midfield. So, if he doesn't get his acts together, he will only have himself to blame.

Everybody need to read this

TRANSFERS OUT: 1) Alves, Bartra and Sandro have already left our club and we have received a total of 8 million Euros from the sales

2) Arda Turan: Better now than waiting for another year and selling his services for pennies. It wouldn't be a daunting task to get 20-25 million Euros for the 29 year old. After under-performing for more than five months it is evident that he doesn't suit our style of playing, that with the ever-looming fear of being down to 10 men with a red card whenever he plays, he should be sold. And soon.

3) Vermaelen: We pay his wages, we pay his hospital bills and we've hardly got to see him play in the last couple of years. Sell him for 10 million Euros and get it over with.

4)Tello: 8 million Euros.

5) Song, Douglas, Adriano: Just offload them. Free.

6) Mathieu: He's 33 years old and not good enough to play for us. 5 million Euros at best.

7) Vidal: Though Lucho might give him another chance next season, there are a lot of better options available for the RB spot, it's the position we could improve upon the most, and we should. 15 million Euros is fair price.

We could expect a total income of 65-70 million Euros from the sale of these players. That combined with the transfer budget of 60-80 million Euros, we could spend 130-150 million on signings this summer.


TRANSFERS IN:

1) First choice RB: Serge Aurier: Available after being caught on camera while abusing his current manager, the 23 year old is the complete package. Pace, Strength, Stamina, Pinpoint crosses, Perfectly timed tackles and good in the air. And he completely shut out Cristiano in the CL (It was funny because it got to the point of embarrassment for the number 7). So what if he got caught on camera, shit happens. In his defense, I'm sure a lot of players bad-mouth their managers especially when they don't get the chances they deserve. A bargain for 20 million Euros.

Fabinho: A well balanced Brazilian right back. The 22 year old is good both in attack and defense. Has the typical Brazilian flair in the way he plays. Could be available for a price of 20-25 million Euros. Another bargain.

Bellerin: The former La Masia player has a very similar profile to Alba. Relies hugely on his pace. It would take a massive bid (upwards of 40 million Euros) to get the player from Arsenal.

2) Two CBs:
Samuel Umtiti: The 22 year old has been a break through player this season and wouldn't have a shortage of suitors who'd pay for his skills. From what his profile suggests, he's very good with the ball at his feet, good in defense and wins a fair share of aerial duels despite being 181 cms tall. Should be available for 15 million Euros.

Kalidou Koulibaly: The 24 year old Napoli's man mountain stands 195 cms tall. A very good passer of the ball and a strong tackler. Should be available for 20 million Euros.

Marquinhos: Already been linked to our club for two seasons now, we could finally see him in Blaugrana colors this season. The 22 year old is one of the best all round young defenders in the world and can play both as a RB and a CB. It would take 40 million Euros and dealing with PSG to secure his signing though.

Laporte: The 22 year old has been a starter at Athletic Bilbao for four seasons now. One of the best young defender, La Liga experience, very good with the ball at his feet and a very good passer of the ball. Perfect profile to be at our club and could provide 10 years of service. The price is 50 million Euros though.

Medhi Benatia: The 29 year old is a world class CB with experience and could be on his way out of Bayern who recently bought Hummels from Dortmund. Should be available for 15 million Euros.


Virgil Van Dijk: The 24 year old has been the heart of Southampton's defense last season. One of the best defenders in the premier league last season is also an attacking threat in set pieces, something which could be of help to break defenses. Would take a bid upwards of 25 million Euros to secure his signing.


Andreas Christensen: The 20 year old has been breakthrough player this season. Good reader of the game and a very good passer as well. The Chelsea player, on loan at M'gladbach collected only 1 yellow card in 31 starts in the Bundesliga last season. Astonishing for a 20 year old. Would require a bid upwards of 20 million euros to secure his signing.

Daniele Rugani: Last but not the least, Rugani, a 21 year old Juventus defender, known for his extremely intelligent reading of the game is a traditional Italian defend

this is our best chance to cash on him...ATM would gladly receive him back for 20m

If our squad can be like this...omo nobody fit catch us
Total spending: 155 million Euros.

This is what our squad will look like:

Mats/Bravo Aurier/ Roberto---Pique/Benatia--- Mascherano/Umtiti---Alba

Verratti/Rakitic---Busquets/Samper--- Iniesta/Rafinha

Messi/Sane---Suarez/Janssen---Neymar/ Denis

Note: Umtiti is also a very good LB thus providing back-up to Alba.

GBR1:
See mumu
When you won the treble in 2009, you guys had just 3 CLs while Madrid had 9, Madrid still had more league titles than you guys. So Madrid was still the most successful club in the world then. United still had the biggest fan base and was the richest club or the biggest in terms of financial value in the world, Madrid was even 2nd.
so how was Barcelona the biggest club in the world then?

In 2015 when you guys won the treble again, Barcelona had 5 CLs while Madrid had 10. Madrid still had more league titles than you guys, and were also bigger financially. Madrid was still the most successful club in the world in 2015 and were still bigger than Barcelona.

I know how it feels playing catching up every time such that even in your finest moments of glory Barcelona still remains behind Madrid (I remember as a fan when United were still playing catch up to Liverpool). It's awful but it's reality. Barcelona is not the biggest and hasn't been the biggest.

Like I said, enjoying so much success over the last 10 years has gotten into head of most of you Barcelona folks here and made you guys so arrogant and that's why you guys forget your place. I would be here to remind you guys the next time someone tries silly sh1t like that.

Pls stop beating around d bush.. Wat m saying here is Barca has been d best team in the world since 2006.

My Guy, e don do abeg. Let's move on from that shitty arguement jare. We are talking about tranfers in and out now. Your attention and contribution is more crucial on this issue, so lets have it.

INS -Samuel Umtiti - €30m , Mauricio Lemos -€12m, Nolito - €18m , Denis Suarez - €3.5m. OUTS - Vermaelen- €5m, Song, Adriano and Douglas - Free, Tello - €8m, Montoya - €5m, Mathieu - €6m
