See una life outside?

so how did these galacticos failed to win a trophy according to Mr. Kilishi ??

come to think of it... How our youth player Negredo, Arbeloa and Granero and Legendary Raul turn to Galactico signings??

If you don't know something, you ask or simply google.

Raul Albiol was a centre back.


If trophy is what you are saying then I am happy to announce to you that Dembele, Grizzy and Coutinho have got that too

FergieRaww:
Are you serious about this now?..

Alright fine let me set this talk straight once and for all...

if you can list those signings referred as Galacticos let us check and balance this matter here

Kaka
Raul Albiol
Benzema
Alvaro Negredo
Xabi Alonso
Alvaro Arbeloa
Esteban Granero

jpmoriarti:
Please remove Ansu Fati from your list. This season would be his last in terms of injury nightmares.

Amennnnnn...

I'll say it again... I'll prefer a fully fit Fati to Halland anytime, any day.

You must be a Twitter man .

I was like, my naira land people have to see this o. But you done do the job.

As for koeman's snub of puig, it was so obvious.
Under setien, we rejoiced that we had a standard midfielder who brought joy to fans .
Suddenly, there's Pedri, Gavi and Nico overtaking him. But Puig is still there, a very good la masia graduate. For no reason at all.

Koeman just added more dent to his career.

I just don't get it. Well, it's no wonder why his coaching career has been barred with complaints and all. Good riddance to his rubbish.

It's evident that there has always been an agenda against Puig from the very beginning... How Koeman allowed his hate to hover a talent like Puig is just not fair.

ALEXAPLAYME:
That news is fake

Kindly show us how it's fake

Kilishihunter:
I just don't know how we keep on managing to sign players with our "non existent pull" considering how "broke" and "poor" the club is , Someone pls explain to me

Alemany!!!!

Darkseidxx:
Just die!!

Please let him live... There's no greater joy seeing your adversary witnessing you progress

Descottes:
can't wait for sunday bro.

The last time I had this excitement and enthusiasm was during the MSN era.

jpmoriarti:

Omo, feels like an eternity!

I really can't wait. The excitement of watching us play is just what I need right now

It's 5 days since we last watched XaviBall.

Chai

Kilishihunter:
Torres money is 55m spread over 5 installments so that one won't bother us heavily now unlike haaland that we have to pay 75m euros, Pay his mumu agent and flop papa commission plus salary, For xavi to leave Spain and go and meet him in Germany means he'll have gotten some form of assurance from the board, Vlahovic that's the next best alternative is gone, Kane is old and more expensive, Isak doesn't score much, Injury wan spoil Fati progress though he'll recover and own that LW

I am following this Fati like kilode. The last player I had this sort of obsession with was GOAT Messi. I can't wait for that boy to take the world by storm already.

Kilishihunter:
I tip betis to win, With their silky footy this season they've been excellent, Pellegrini's due a trophy, But they should sha drop points against tico on Sunday so that we can move into 3rd with a game in hand if we thrash elche

Make anyone of them win or lose or draw, e pay us wella.

If both Tico and Betis can lose sef, then I'll gladly buy it.

Yet, we are broke!!!


Lol

WhoDeyHause:
See this one deceiving himself. Why would haaland come to deadlona that can't afford his salary and can only get players on free because of being poor. Roman offered to pay 150 million euro for him. He did not come it's now dead europalona he will come to. Be dreaming.
Finished club.

So up till now, you still don't that both Marina and Roman have stepped down from Chelsea?

Even if Barca play in the conference league, Chelsea will never be able to compete with Barcelona in terms of signing big names. It's not by having a rich sugar daddy but your career as a whole. The likes of Lampard amd Terry would have gotten more recognition than they have now if they played for a big club like Barca or Madrid.

Lol.. No hard feelings slowpoke... It's just how things are, and how they will remain.

As it is now sef, you guys might have to drop drastically down the pecking order now that a new era of management is about to come in place.

I can't wait to see you cry a river.

Hehehe

Isiterere:
Left to me , I do not want Halland in Barcelona.
I am scared because of his latest injury crisis, are we looking another Dembele debacle? I just pray it will not be a waste of funds.

You are thinking the right way... Let Laporta let that boy go abeg.. LET HIM GO

andrewbaba44:
Nico is a midfielder

So Nico player RB and alves went to the midfield ,alves of all people ,and you think Nico will be a right back

Calm down bro ,Nico came in at the 88th minute when he game is sealed already

Nico didn’t play as a RB okay

I didn't say he was a RB... I only expressed my concern as to if he'll be or not be another Sergio Roberto whom we all know isn't a RB but has played more minutes from that position when he was fit.

I don't know what you mean by "Alves of all people." Hasn't he played as a double pivot in midfield with busquets this season?

That said, I equally d n't know if you also noticed that before Dani was registered, Nico had also played as a supporting Rb to Dest?

As you said, the last game was already won and sealed, it was a good time for Nico to explore his DM prowess if he was any but rather Dani played in he position.

Maybe it's me been paranoid or being too careful, but I don't want these youngsters wasting away like some of their predecessors did.

joviegghead:
Laca what?

Laca belongs the depay class. Of course, not bad. But not what barca needed. In terms of goal scoring, auba is way better.

Laca is more of a mobile 9. Rarely do you get players who maintain high level playing as such.

The problem with Lacazette is that he's that kind of striker that doesn't score goals. he's not that kind of striker that can thrive with wingers and him, playing a CF. But is he going to go deep to be involved in the play of the game? Definitely yes. That was one thing I really didn't see with Auba at Arsenal but he has since changed since he came and we can see the progress already. I also preferred him to Auba initially but I've since had a change of mind since 2 seasons ago.

Ibukzy:
Under Laporta? this season?

Laporta already saw his cluelessness, so there was no point beating a dead horse. He's had ample time to prove himself despite having the best player in the world at his disposal but couldn't harness it. There was no need for us to continue to suffer

Ibukzy:
Though he might have exaggerated a bit, but he wasn't lying about Laporta not supporting him this season, even before the start of this season there were talks about sacking him, which Laporta never denies.

Messi,Griezzmann, were sold to be replaced by Depay and Luuk, and a lot of Barca players were injured or out of form.

so most of these contributed to our bad First Half of the season.

Laporta should recall him and sack him again. The worst era of Barcelona with Messi was with Koeman with his abysmal tactics and loathsome man-management... He had enough time to do anything he wanted but couldn't do anything except to rely on individual brilliance which most of our players weren't having until now.

Koeman had better not let us come for his head?

Be like this one doesn't know Laporta's words shouldn't be trusted.

Kilishihunter:
But seriously do you want Isak or David where you go feed them ball tire and them fit bury 2 out of 8 chances presented to them, Those guys to me are more of strikers who'll excell in a two man system not as a lone wolf in the middle, Sargent looks like he has a high ceiling in the future, I've been noting him from when he played at under-17 level, That boy's shooting and movement is good for someone his age, Since he's a backup to pukki at Norwich for now, he isn't much rated like the other two at more known teams but let's see him if he steps up to a bigger club, I just hope Isak doesn't near barca

Isak God forbid

Pasima:
I told my girlfriend to post my pics on her Whatsapp profile and she refused to do so, but I post hers telling the world how proud I am to have her.

I was very angry I want to end the Relationship. You see all this Catholics girls na now I fear them wella. Full of games and cheating.

Sometimes, I wonder what most ya'll are actually looking for in a relationship. How's an issue as simple as this worthy of a breakup? Worse still, you even generalize say na all catholic girls.

There are a thousand and one reason why a lady won't post her boyfriend and it's totally acceptable. It's not even worth it for you to want to dissolve the relationship except if she's proving to be a cheat or having other flags that you'd clearly mark as red signs. If not, you are being the IMMATURE boyfriend

Kilishihunter:
Your points are valid, and it's been confirmed we're not resigning him, No need wasting money since Auba might not even be a regular next season, As for haaland I just hope the board are really brainstorming and scrutinizing on the alternatives to him cause all these Isak and Jonathan David links are worrisome, Both have good technique but are not prolific strikers, If he moves to city or Madrid, I hope we get a young budding striker like arezo or Josh Sargent so Xavi can work on them or Wirtz who likes barça so we can convert him from an AM/SS to one across the frontline

Honestly, I can't understand why Halland's talks don't sound too interesting to me anymore. I am a big fan of the big boy but I already see a lot of potentials in this our squad and really unsure how Xavi can manage them without losing them eventually.

Did you notice that Nico played the RB position during the last game when he came on for Busi? Dani went straight to the midfield amd now it's leaving me to wonder... Are we going to have another Sergi Roberto in Nico or are we going to have another traditional DM like Busi?

I know Busi is irreplaceable but since we have a Dejong that seems to know how to transit the ball from the defense to attack while partnering in the double pivot, then I think we can manage. But still, there are talks linking us to Kessie... I don't get how we'll manage all these boys that seem to be blossoming.

Let's not forget there's a Ferran Jugtla and Abde waiting to conquer the forward line as well.

Then in front, we have a Torres that I am rooting for to become a killer in no time and Ansu Fati whose fitness should be one of our priorities and all.


I intentionally didn't mention Gavi because I know he's too young to be starting every one of our matches but abeg, these boys are doing excellently and should be given time to blend well and not jeopardize their growth by going on loans or selling them with a buy-back clause.


How do all of them fit in exactly?

Baddestguyp:
we don't need Pogba...
That's going backwards...
We don't need someone with high wages with attitude that causes dressing room problems

I don't really understand why we need De Ligt too...
I can't say for sure...
All I know is we need a good CB...
Dunno if De Ligt is the right choice

If we manage to sign Christensen, then De Lgt won't happen.

Tellwhat:
I remember when some people were always arguing and trying to make a case of hazard being better than Neymar.
Some even claimed Hazard was on par with Messi/Ronaldo.. very fooolish talk then, even as at then talkless of now

When you talk about hazard being overrated e go remain small make dem use a knife cut your head.

I never liked that hazard for one day and wasn't surprised he flopped at Madrid

Hazard, at Chelsea, was a menace for oppositions, and he was worth the hype with Neymar then, even though we all knew the latter was better. The talk of being on par with Messi and Ronaldo was just a means to get people frustrated and start an unnecessary banter. He was one player I, personally, was looking forward to exploring or should I rather say, exploiting, Laliga. Shame that he turned out to be a complete shadow of his former self.

temi1290:
Bro, I think when something " falls through ", it means it was unsuccessful. So using " didn't " before "falls through" has changed the meaning of the information you were trying to pass.

It should be " Always wondered why the deal with Binance and Pokaldot fell through ".

You are right... Thanks for the correction.

Always wondered why the deal with Binance and Pokaldot didn't fall through despite that it gave more financial backings than Spotify. Didn't know that Don Laporta was planning to make us have our own blockchain ecosystem and metaverse.


If this happens eventually, then my respect, as well as others' for him, has no limits.

Jokerman:
You are trolling Hazard now over goals, but when we do same with Pessi, you go begin shout "hit the goal post" stats

How can you put Hazard or any other player in the same sentence as Messi? Can't you see that you are going beyond the line?

jpmoriarti:
Luuk de Jong has been an example of a true professional. Doesn't complain. He knows his place in the team. Comes in and try to impact the game from the bench.

I'll very much like him to stick around. Come in when we need to put crosses in or looking to snatch a piont from a low-block defensive team.

I won't lie, I equally want the same. Like someone rightly said, one of the few times when Barcelona tactics doesn't revolve passing around is when Luuk is playing. And until we get someone with the capacity of Suarez who can as well use his head and upper part of the his body well, we might just need to hold on to Jong.

jpmoriarti:
Everyone can take a hit mentally.

Remember that year Real Madrid lost 3 titles in just one week. Ajax dumped them out in UCL round of 16. We knocked them out of cup and also killed their league title hopes. All in a space of one week.

I get but it just has to hit them back to back... Else, they'd pick and start flaunting at us
