For those of us cules labelling some as true fans and others as plastic or fake fans. Remember that we can not all reason along same line. Our opinions may and will sometimes differ, does not mean that any cule has ill feelings or spell doom for the club.

There must be criticism. That a coach or player plays for my team does not make him excellent. If he needs to improve on any part of his impact in the team and fans say it, does not make them any less a fan of him.

Even Great and well loved Messi gets criticised sometimes. Constructive criticisms are good for growth and development.

Let's take these games one at a time, we shouldn't take any team as a work over, taking note that we underated Levante last season and they ended our unbeaten run, we thought Roma was done and dusted, and they boot us out of the UCL.

My suggestion, let's prepare for each game as they come based on our strategy, team strengths and available players. And I pray we get through them all unscathed.

philfearon:
I guess we are all tired of complaining about Suarez and Coutinho... See as everywhere dry!!!
Lol!!!

Guy, you are so observant. I like that. We are just tired of commenting on their bullshit, that's all.

I see some cules advocating for Pique to be in a Barca's top 10. Even if its top 20 or 30, Puyol must everly come in before Pique in my own opinion. Haba!

Abeg, Levante should not pack any stupid bus today o. We must take our own pound of flesh from them today o.

My own are:

Iniesta's goal against Chelsea and Messi's goal against Bayern (Boateng/Neuer Destruction).

I will take them to an eatery, ask them to order for whatever they want, I will then excuse myself to get cash from nearby banks ATM, since I didn't plan for that much people. Once I enter my car, Na to Japa o, Let her settle their bills herself. Rubbish.

IKON360:
have we bought any other person in this window? Even Morata will be welcomed

That's what pains me the most. Na so we go dey look till the window go nearly close, we go come dey buy leftovers. >:

IKON360:
na money be fine bobo, if we sell Vermaleen and Denis Suarez and Rafinha is sold too, we may free up funds for De Ligt, but as it stands our centre backs are Pique, Umtiti, Lenglet, Vermaleen, that new boy, Puig, Yerry Mina. 1st choice are Pique and Umtiti but Umtitit is injured so Lenglet starts however Vermaleen is also injured and Yerry Mina is on loan, the new boy and Puig are still learning work... De Ligt will just add more drama.

Guy, you fall my hand o, I swear. How you go say Terry Mina dey loan and Puig Na Defender?

BykeLaByke:
Someone is hyperventilating in my mentions....Lmaoooooooo.

Ghengen! He don show. Na una wey dey talk him matter go tyre. Hehehe

If anyone is watching this first 20mins play by Man. city, you will miss our barca tikitaka game.

philfearon:
His contract expires in the summer... Barça didn't want to lose him for nothing since he will be a free agent.

Olamyyde:
He has only 6 months left in his contract.

Okay, but price is too low.

Ex-Watford star Ighalo emerges as Barcelona target
2019-01-12T11:39:36Z 12:39 PM
Catalan side eye loan move for Changchun Yatai attacker
Former Watford striker Odion Ighalo could be set for a shock move to Barcelona, according to Sport.
The Catalan side want to bring in a new attacker on a short-term deal to enhance their front line in the second half of the season.
Many targets have emerged, but Ighalo sticks out because of his exploits at Watford and experience in La Liga with Granada.
He only joined Changchun Yatai in 2017, but Ighalo is ready to return to Europe and has offers from the Premier League, but Barca could swoop in with a loan offer.

Somebody needs to check if today is April 1st, cos I can't believe this news

Olamyyde:
Is it just me or barca sells too cheaply?

We sold David villa for 4m.

Munir for 1m, paco that was good for 25m and even Denis Suarez won't reach 30m.

Who is approving all these deals sef? Muniru for 1m? Ridiculously low. If he turns to a beast in Sevilla, we'll be regretting selling him cheap, why not loan him to them with option to buy permanently later? instead of a paltry 1m.

Olamyyde:
Alhaji muniru has left to sevilla ooi

Good move. With Sevilla's attacking setup. I expect him to thrive.

But then, what alternatives do we have for our striking position? I expect the board to have completed signings in that department before letting the ones we have go to other clubs.

A vital away goal by coutinho anyways. Good.

A very disappointing disastrous outing for us today mehn. WTF happened to us?

Would love to see this starting lineup against Levante today.

Cillessen; Semedo, Murillo, Lenglet, Miranda; Aleñá, Busquets, Arthur; Malcom, Dembélé, Coutinho.

Has anyone seen Malcolm play as striker before?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

MJBOLT:

I don't think you understand what I did up there

I understood you perfectly, its you that didn't get my sarcasm. I was throwing jibes at those who voted him as 5th despite his stats outclassing stats of the 4 players placed ahead of him individually. The 1st - 4th players were chosen because of team success. He was the only one with individual success as his yardstick.

stuff46:
Happy Christmas cules. Enjoy

Excallibur:
Merry christmass cules

May this Christmas be the beginning of successful times for us and our darling club. Amen

MJBOLT:

5th best player in 2018

Ridiculous! Pls. kindly show us the individual stats of the 1st - 4th best players to show why they are better than him individually. (Remember that I asked for individual and not team's or club's stats o)

BykeLaByke:
Who the fuuucck is Murillo??
Jesus Christ...we are literally signing farmers.

@byke. Longest time, where have you been hiding?

melodyogonna:
He score goals na, and he is young.

Already the key player in his new club, he was the key player for Watford too before he was transferred, but he won't be cheap.

Not every striker can play the barca way. We should learn from strikers like Paco.and Munir who can only play in a free flowing. end to end situations and are ineffective in possession based, short passing situations like barca does.

We need a striker who plays like Suarez but converts at least 2 out of 4 chances.

philfearon:
Signing Rabiot on a free transfer is a good move...
Rakitic is leaving...
Denis Suarez is leaving...
Rafinha and Samper cannot be trusted to last a single month without being injured...
Unlike Samper, Denis Suarez and Alena, Rabiot can actually start in a big match no matter the team... But first thing first, he will have to earn his place...
It's always good to err on the side of surplusage. This does not mean that the other key positions in need of immediate attention should/will be neglected!!!

You've got a valid point there, and his coming on a free is good business.

patrickmuf:
Rabiot on a free is a very good deal unlike what some folks here are saying.
Rodri is also a fine option contrary to what some folks here think.
So many arrogant folks here.

We ain't arrogant as you stated, just asking pertinent questions. Since you have the answers, why not tell us why this midfield with Coutinho, Rakitc, Busi, Alena, Vidal, Arthur, Denis Suarez, Samper and probably Rafinha, will need a (CM) Rabiot? What does he have that the listed don't?

andrew444:
De Jong yes

But Rodri Hell no ,Rodri is average at best ,Barca don't need average players

Even rabiot is average

Thank you. So why do we need an average (as you put it) central midfielder? Cos I don't get it.

And I suggested Rodri for his Busi's like for like style of play.

omotayo9177:
Breaking..........






Adrien Rabiot reaches an agreement to join FcBarcelona

I'm still not convinced why we need Rabiot. I believe our midfield only needs a long term DM as backup for Busi, and I doubt Rabiot can do that better than Rodri or De jong.

Moreover, Rabiot is a CM. Maybe Rakitic or Vidal will rotate to DM . Well, the board must have seen something many of us are not seeing.

P.S , If sporting cp no see draw against those guys today ehn...
