FirstbornWds:Koeman had a slightly better squad last season than he had this season, and last season, he was still let down by the individual brilliance of players like Roberto, Lenglet and king Bumtiti. Also last season, numerous times we needed a 9 and you remember that Dembele was at those times deployed as a 9 to varying degrees of success. Then when this season started, our top 3 goal scorers last season were either injured, loaned out or had no contract. Our wingers were injured and all the players one could rely on were injured too. Blaming Koeman for not having what Xavi was provided with is unfair to be honest. Yes Xavi has tried to be honest but if Koeman had what Xavi had by January, I seriously doubt that we would go trophiless this season. And that thing you said about Copa Del Rey being about players' individual brilliance is false and rubbish talk, Greizman, Messi, De Jong and Alba all had brilliant attacking performances, Pique, Mingueza and I think Araujo or so had an absolutely impeccable shift at the back and Busquets enjoyed himself maximally in the midfield. Or you have short term memory too? Koeman did not disband Suarez, Koeman didn't have the power to disband anybody. Why didn't he disband Puig or Pedri like he initially wanted to? And if you read any of Suarez' interviews on his leaving Barca in none did he blame Koeman, he and Messi even Dani Alves all blamed Barca board. Not Koeman. Where TF did you even get that kind of false information? And Suarez was last season, De Jong, Depay were this season or you have forgotten? You are a Koeman hater, baseless arguments sha. That's how so many of you on this group were also Valverde haters and now it turns out that Valverde is still Barca's best coach in recent memory. |

FirstbornWds:Who deprived Barca of a proper coach and structure? Bartomeau? Suarez was sold, guess who he was replaced with? NOBODY! Greizman was loaned out, Trincao was loaned out, Dembele and Fati were injured, Collado was not registered and the wingers Barca had were Gavi and Demir and later Dest. Koeman basically had to beg the board to get a 9 and from making noise about Joao Felix and such, nobody was signed except Luuk De Jong. Or you have forgotten these bits of entertaining information? When Pedri was injured and the midfielders we had were De Jong, Busquets and Nico Gonzalez? Abi na short term memory dey do that Barca under Xavi played their best matches when our injured players came back and all the kinds of players that Koeman was screaming that he needed when they were provided for Xavi, Xavi went on that winning streak? Koeman wanted a winger and a 9 because we had no 9 and all our wingers were injured, Xavi got Ferran Torres face of movement 2022 and Aubameyang, Traore and fit Dembele who finished the season with 13 assists yet you open your mouth and say Barca didn't have a structure and a coach. The same team that won Copa del Rey last season, half of them were tossed aside this season by either injuries or loan. You remember when Pique and Araujo were injured under Koeman this season, when even Braithwaite was injured earlier this season? Or you have short term memory of convenience? You won't win trophy but you will celebrate qualifying for UCL what kind of disgusting consolation is that? Koeman fucking won a trophy, qualified for UCL and had two players win massive individual awards under his coaching time. Look at Xavi, pursuing Azpilicueta, Alonso and not getting rid of Roberto that we absolutely and completely don't need. But no, keep blaming Bartomeau soon you will blame Sandro Russel or Joan Gamper |

FirstbornWds:The team that Arsenal won FA cup with under Arteta isn't better than this Barca team in any ramification. The team that Mourinho won Conference league with is not better than this Barca team in any ramification too. Rangers team that reached UEL finals isn't better than this Barca team but this Barca team went trophiless. Guy, if shame no dey catch you, e dey catch me.

FirstbornWds:Alright this is a fairer assertion. I can agree with this. I don't think you will continue to blame Bartomeau if we don't win a substantial trophy next season. Because at that point it's not Bartomeau again. Even though for me, immediately a president leaves nobody should keep blaming him for what's bad two years after he left. 5 Likes |

jpmoriarti:Award for taking demoralized team back to UCL goes to Xavi. Barjuan won his UCL match, Xavi lost. Let's say we couldn't beat Madrid in the Super cup espana, but the losses to Frankfurt and Athletic Bilbao were solely on Xavi, he had everything that Koeman didn't have, a great defence, fit midfielders, fit wingers, a useful 9 yet he lost Copa Del Rey and Europa league. This purple patch he enjoyed to finish 2nd is the same purple patch Koeman enjoyed to finish 3rd and unlike Koeman, Roberto and Umtiti were forgotten on the bench. Yet even Koeman won Copa del Rey. A freaking basic bare minimum after signing Ferran Torres, Aubameyang, Dani Alves, returning Pedri, returning Dembele, Traore all players than Koeman didn't have yet he won something. Oya, why did we still lose matches like Franfurt at Nuo Camp, Villareal at Nuo Camp, lost Rayo Vallecano at Nuo Camp and Cadiz all at Nuo Camp, what's the difference between now and last season? Especially that loss to Cadiz that Barca were just crossing the ball like Stoke those days and hoping for the best. Na wa o 3 Likes |

Kilishihunter:Now you are also blaming Rosell. Man I don't know what to do with you people again. Is it Bartomeau that is selling Ferran Jutgla to Club Brugge? Is it Bartomeau that of all people to have interest in it's Christensen that is being benched by Chalobah? Is it Bartomeau that sold Emerson Royal to sign Alves and then Azpilicueta? Is it Bartomeau that promised Haaland and then it ended in tears? Is it Bartomeau that used Messi's renewal as campaign point only to swiftly disappoint on it? See if you want to criticize Bartomeau, criticize him on his bad decision making when Barca was swimming in wealth and the unwillingness to focus on the sporting aspect of running the club and focusing instead on money |

Bimmarlykay:Someone was elected and he is earning wages to be the president of Barca, he said he will make Barca to compete, he said he will integrate the La Masia players, he said he will revitalize the economy of the club and most importantly he said Messi will stay under him. Well, at least he has failed on the last one, let's hope he doesn't fail on the rest and try to make something happen and stop blaming former government like Lai Mohammed was doing. |

FirstbornWds:You know as at when Koeman was sacked, Barca needed a win to qualify in UCL, were in Super cup espana, Copa Del Rey and finally dropped into Europa league? Guess which one Xavi won after having the best transfer window in the last 3 seasons? |

FirstbornWds:Greizman was signed because Suarez the best or one of the best strikers of his generation was becoming a persistent source of disappointment for Barca, he was not pressing like he used to and he missed more chances than he was converting. On this thread I am sure that many of us old timers could remember some heart breaking misses from Suarez plus his amusing UCL drought. That's why Greizman was signed. Greizman was a brilliant forward for Athletico, and was the best player at Euros 2016 and the third best player in La Liga only behind Messi and Ronaldo, that's why Barca wanted him plus he was a proven finisher and la Liga expert. Gomez was part of Portugal's team that won Euros in 2016 and he was actually very good in that tournament, that's if you watched Portugal's match without hoping for Portugal to lose because of Ronaldo. And this talk that Barca only enjoyed success because of Messi is I'm sorry but extremely dumb and stupid. In the past 20 years the coaches that have not won any trophies with Barca all had Messi in their team yet they won nothing. It basically shows you that while Messi is good, he still needs people that can bring out his best or everything will fail. So stop this talk that Barca achieved success because of Messi didn't Setien have Messi, didn't Gerrard Martino have Messi, what trophies did they win? Was Bartomeau's tenure as president geared towards to the business end of things over the sporting one? Yes, it definitely was. Besides you need money to have a successful team. Look at Man City, look at Liverpool, look at Madrid, even Bayern. Did Bartomeau make mistakes? Yes he did. Did Bartomeau do anything right? Yes he did. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by IKON360(m): 4:17pm On May 26, 2022 |
Kilishihunter:Covid must be mentioned, no club in La Liga or in Europe lost more money than Barca due to Covid 19, considering that Barca made more than 50m Euros from the museum alone, Barca shop and merchandise weren't being sold, no revenue from ticket sales and others, so while many clubs lost money, Barca lost the most money. Remember that the previous year that's 2019 Barca alone generated more revenue than any club in Europe so you will not blame Bartomeau for Covid and that's when Barca's debt challenges spiralled out of control. Going on, Barca is socio owned but when Messi was the highest earning footballer in the world, we didn't hear you complaining o, when Suarez was the second highest earner at Barca, nobody heard your voice. Is Barca the only socio owned club in football? No! That a club is socio owned does it mean they will stop generating revenue? Do you think Spotify cared whether we were socio owned or not to buy sponsorship of the front of our jersey? You are raising extremely irrelevant points to be honest. During no point in the history of Barcelona has Barca enjoyed financial success like it did under Bartomeau, the heights were giddy and unrivalled, the 4th most valued club in 2013 became the most valued club by 2018 and 2019. The third highest revenue generating football club in 2015 was the highest revenue generating club by 2017 and 2018 and even 2019. What you are calling laughing stock is jealousy. Plain jealousy, look at this thread and see how many trolls it attracts per day, is that being a laughing stock or plain jealousy? The club with the most active social media presence will definitely attract a lot of hate, you are here being affected by trolls and forgetting that Barca is the first club to go through an economic downturn, and it won't be the last you are allowing yourself to be swayed by trolls and claiming that Bartomeau turned Barca into a laughing stock. Show the Barca president in the last 25 years that under his leadership Barca enjoyed more economic successes and footballing successes than Bartomeau... |

Kilishihunter:I don't know this laughing stock sha, because under Bartomeau, Barca became the richest club in world, the most valuable and generated the most revenue per annum for 3 years, Barca also won 13 trophies during his tenure as president, the only club president that Barca won more trophies under was Joseph Nunez who under his leadership the club won 20 trophies. So how exactly did he turn Barca to a laughing stock or you want to type without making basic research? Is Barca the first club to sign expensive players who didn't leave up to expectations? Barca also signed Suarez and placed him on huge salary, Messi was also on huge salary, why aren't talking about those ones it's Greizman, Barca's second highest goal scorer last season that is stressing you. Madrid signed Kaka and Higuain and placed them on huge wages, they flopped or didn't meet expectations, did the clubs fold? Was anyone fired? Chelsea signed Torres for a then England record, was anybody killed? Or arrested? Man utd signed Sanchez, was anybody killed or arrested? . It would be nice if Barca fans tried to look at the bigger picture too, and stop this bizarre myopia that is ridiculous |

jpmoriarti:Braithwaite and Lenglet aren't earning big wages, Umtiti has signed a new contract, Pjanic has part of his wages being paid by Besiktas, Dest was actually signed around the same time as Pedri and his wages aren't outrageous too. So this basis is first of all flawed and goes to no issue. Going on wages have been reduced multiple times by these players, Barca have gotten a loan from Goldman Sachs, will sell part of their tv rights to the same Goldman Sachs, the Spotify deal, and still Roberto's contract was renewed. Nice sha |

Even if Madrid had signed Mbappe and Barca only signed some wingers but our key players stayed fit, we still have the capacity to beat Madrid. Even Ferran the lord of movement was torturing Carvajal in the last El Classico. If they have Mbappe, yes they will be stronger but it's not guaranteed that they would win everything.
