BlaqFaze:
Braithwaite dey earn around 200k weekly

Where do you get your info from? Abeg be calming down..

He earns £85k

Blaxhex:
Lmao. The lamasia you're talking about had golden generation players at the time.
For the past 10 years how many decent players have come out of lamasia?
Even the ones that were promoted to the first team: Sergi samper, Marc bartra, Sandro Ramirez, sergi Roberto, Carles alena.. Where are they now?
Barcelona have always bought big players, that lamasia talk is farce.
Ronaldinho, Samuel eto, rivaldo, romario, delima Ronaldo, Figo, abidal, marquez, stoichkov etc didn't come from lamasia, even our highly influential Johan Cruyff was bought for big money from ajax then.
So rest with the lamasia yarns abeg.

Nice one.

The golden generation of la masia players, I mean the Messi generation is a rare class. Hardly would you see 80% of a team filled with its academy graduates.

Its rarely happens. However, we allowed the la masia glory get into our heads and believe we'll keep churning out world class players to fill up the team, with little reliance on purchase of external world class players.

Someone here said we should stop signing players for like 3 years and forget about winning trophies so we can pay our debts and start from the scratch.

Soon we'll be getting advise to forget about playing football for 5 years.
Like jp said, many business aren't debt free.
Also saying barca shouldn't sign quality players and forget about trophies is a self-destructive move. Trophies and glory gets you more sources of revenue.

Many of y'all are painting Barça situation as one very terrible situation, when in fact the club is recovering fine and ready to compete once again.
And please, Liverpool, Chelsea and AC Milan aren't as big as Barça. Yes I said it. Drop history and let's talk money. Barça is a super club. It's very difficult for it to run outta business or fall badly for years and stay that way.. That's almost impossible.

Hmm
I belong to the 'indifferent' group.

Don't wanna sound pessimistic but, Nigeria isn't ready. Even the Obi people are shouting and painting as 'someone new' might not deliver. Just talk, talk and talk.

Tinubu might probably do better than the rest but many of y'all won't agree.

Y'all might not say it but, support for these candidates are borne mostly out of tribalism than love for the country.
I've given up on Nigeria.
There's only one person that can make me show interest. But he's not running for presidency.

paiporte:
quick recovery my man

Painful

Faridullah:
I heard from a reliable source that the list will likely be out by the end of this month (July)

Many people here will start doing countdown

jpmoriarti:
So if Kessie and Raphinha come in and they're taking time to adapt to the coach's requirements, they should continue to play?

Read again..

I wasn't asking about adapting or whatnot.

Will they be given room to shine? Imagine kessie getting just 15 mins play time in matches and used few times as a starter. Or Ferran blowing chances while Raphinha watches from the bench.

Kilishihunter:
Finally official, A strong and durable midfielder

Will he be given a chance to shine??
Or xavi will allow sentiment get the better of him.

For me, I still feel we will have lots of shouting and complaining to do, this coming season. Don't be surprised when you see kessie and Raphinha been benched for busquests and Ferran repeatedly.
Araujo should be ready as well.

Miroslavv:
Babey543 said "google" and the asker is not suppose to take any offence from it.
If Babey543 had said "ask Google" then the asker should take every offence from it.

This guy, some people take offence from both replies.
Anyway, let's be understanding.

babey543:
Lol.

If this simple research you can't even do, how will you be able to cope when real research comes. I am very sure you will have problem with your supervisor with your attitude.

You don't deserve to win this scholarship as you are very lazy and dumb. It will be better not to disgrace Nigeria.

We are here to give advice and it is a privilege and not compulsory. I pity any of your freinds and family who you have authority on.

Why are you so frustrated with your life?

Hope you are ok.

Geez!
Some people feel using the one-word reply, 'google', to their question is done to make them feel silly or less exposed. And that's not always true.

But please, no need to say things like he doesn't deserve the scholarship. We all deserve it.

Abeg o.

Miroslavv:
No Decorum, please.
May the Violence continue.
Laro kurukutu Monday.

Bobo, sho normal bayi?

Abeg no Vawulence.

Ballzproblemm:
Bleep barca

You alright??

Najdorf:
Not true. If he can trouble Carlsen he should have won the Candidates at least once in his two attempts.

Nepo mentally collapsed after Game 6 but before that people forget how close the match with Carlsen was.

LOL.

No one cares about when he failed. He failed woefully. Magnus crushed him.

Fabi went the whole 12 games. And magnus couldnt break him.

Oh.
It's not like anything reasonable thing will come out of it.

Buhari killed this guy's shine. If he had been given more freedom and role in things, he would have been more instrumental.

Tellwhat:
Exactly. I really like dejong. But a part of me was hoping Barca sells him and still hope they do.
Bernardo Silva is a gem and is more suited to Barca's game. The problem would have been man city refusing but Silva has made it known he wants to leave. Another issue would have been age but Bernardo Silva is also surprisingly young I think 27 while Frankie is 25. Silva is also a really nice utility player.
With the signing of kessie the club should let go of dejong because right now the price is right. Bernardo will complement our midfield better
Unfortunately I see dejongs value will depreciate soon unless he works really hard
By the way what happened to Arthur Melo and his juventus career. I just remembered that pjanic is still a Barca player

Good points.
Bernardo is one hell of an attacking player. Pushes attack, which we need.
But, the midfield is packed now. Sadly, busquets has an automatic place. Kessie will be his deputy. FDJ will have to battle pedri, gavi and Co.

As for Arthur, Barca killed his career. Oh, I mean, Bartomeu killed his career.

Blaxhex:
Laporta just said FDJ wouldn't be sold

Boom... Yes!!!

Kilishihunter:
��| BREAKING: FC Barcelona and Ousmane Dembélé are about to reach an agreement for his contract renewal until 2024. @sport
Don't fully believe, I hope this won't affect the Raphinha deal sha if true

I don't think so.
It would be nice to have them both in the team.
There would be lot of competition in the attacking department. My concern is depay, especially, if the Lewandowski deal clicks.

jpmoriarti:
If we can still get Dembele to stay at the club. This would add more quality upfront and we can then afford to let Depay leave.

Xavi's system needs more quality wide players. We cant afford to limit ourselves to few options. We should be able to summon useful players off the bench. Not the likes of Abde If Dembele does not eventually renew, then Depay has to stay

One question:
Is abde that bad? I mean, take away all the hype, is he the least of the wingers, including Ferran.

Martinez39s:
True. That's Ding Liren's pattern. Anyway, Nakamura and Nepomniachtchi just played a quick draw; Ding Liren just suffered a shocking loss to Radjabov; and Caruana-Rapport and Duda-Firouzja games are still ongoing.

Firouzja missed a clear opportunity to fork Duda's queen and knight. His blunder has shifted things in Duda's favour. The candidates isn’t Firouzja's tournament. I expected a bit more from him though.

Ding's loss is really painful.

But then again, it's Ding. Nepo emerging the winner of this year's candidates means the world will not be seeing a new world champion anytime soon.
I mean, I don't see him being able to beat magnus.
As for Alireza, he still has time to improve. I wasn't expecting a lot from him.

jpmoriarti:
The guy go suffer no be small.

I dont know the game they're playing. It is even becoming a suicidal game. Trying to engage Barca in a game of wits? I have never seen anything like this before.

Barca has nothing to lose. If push comes to shove, we will activate another economic lever and sign another player.

Of course, we may not have all the information here but I cant see how Dembele will come out of this unscathed.

What's even interesting is that, he doesn't know other clubs are watching.
I don't think any club would want to sign a troublesome player. If he can do this to Barça that stuck with him in his bad times, imagine what he'll do when in other clubs.

Martinez39s:
Caruana lost again, against Ding Liren this time. This makes it three loses in four games for him. From closely chasing Nepomniachtchi to slipping to fourth place.

Nepomniachtchi is playing like a champion at this point and I don't see anyone rubbing his shoulders if he continues like this. Ding Liren and Nakamura have rises from the dead.

Typical Ding.

Starts poorly, and starts winning or doing well later.
Very sad. Cuz I like him and he's probably the only person, apart from Fabi, who can trouble Carlsen.

jpmoriarti:
Ousmane Dembélé is now officially unemployed.

I can't believe someone can be this stupid.
Why is he allowing his agent throw his career away?

They had every chance to sign since December. But no, he was forming 'most wanted and hottest' player.

Its xavi that's making barca hold on. If he tells the club to go on with other alternatives, dembele will suffer.

Blaxhex:
I don't think dembele wants 40m anually. I read somewhere that the board offered him 6m anually. That's low now. I think if they could bump it up to 8m he would accept. Na pride just dey worry laputa

Its low?
All the money he's been earning for free while injured nko?
See I love dembele, but this drama is dragging for too long. I don't believe he loves Barça. The reason why he hasn't signed for another club is because none have placed any bid for him.
He'll ditch us if given the opportunity. But right now, he's hoping to eat from the new money we just got.
It's a take or leave situation. He should be grateful Barça is still considering him after his disastrous years. But no, he wan dey Buga us. That's my anger with him.

OhBritannia:
If i was laporta, i will put a call to the president of Newcastle and offer to give them Dembele for a big transfer fee.
I am sure they will agree and whether Dembele likes it or not, i am sure there are drug cartels in Barcelona.
I pay them to threaten Dembele to Leave Barcelona as soon as possible or they throw him into the ocean in Ibiza.

"Dembele's representatives have been confidently saying for months that ousmane has other options on the table but, there hasn't been any formal offer from other teams."

"The only formal offer Ousmane Dembele has received is from Barça."


At this point, I hate moussa sissoko. Bastard was tryna bluff. Turns they had no Ace up their sleeves. Now they'll be forced to renew.

Why cause all these troubles in the first place?

Kilishihunter:
Well you were right, Seems we'll have to shift our priorities elsewhere
Ehen this one Bayern are still doing initial gragra over lewandoski, If they finally don't let him go, Do you think we should still forge ahead with Auba/Memphis as our CFs next season or which forward do you think we can get apart from Morata

I understand bayern not selling him.
1. He's still firing
2. It's a super club competitor(Barça) that wants to sign him.

Sadly, there isn't any world class alternative in the market.

If they're not gonna release him, let's stick with auba.
Besides, we've got forwards who can fill the no. 9 role. Memphis, fati and ferran(can't believe I'm mentioning that financial waste).

Unpopular opinion: we shoulda held on to jutgla and groom him. Just saying.

Kilishihunter:
❗️The meeting between Barça and Gavi’s agent has concluded. There is still no total agreement, although there is a good feeling.

[Via: Fernando Polo�]
Which one is all this one? Good feeling bawo?
If his agent and himself can't agree, he'll be sold to add more funds to our coffers, If it was moriba he'll have been gone since

The hype on gavi is too much
Maybe that's what's giving his agent liver.

I don't think pedri gave us headache like this. But our la masia graduate wants to be a pain in the neck.

Kilishihunter:
Bros I dey shocked pass you gan, @fansjavimiguel is not very reliable with transfer news but make we dey look sha
So this dude might still stay in barça after most of us don drag shege comot from him body

It's because of xavi.

Xavi has been trying to tell the club that renewing his contract is better and cheaper than getting a replacement (which is risky- might flop).

But it doesn't matter. He refused the offer given to him for almost 6 months. I bet if Chelsea comes knocking he'll change is mind again.

Not the kind of attitude we need. A bitchy, disloyal, and indecisive behavior by a guy I love so much.

But he's free to stay.
He better fire his agent(moussa sissoko) too. That guy is a terrible human being. If camavimga can do, why can dembele use his head to do the right thing... For once.

Dreldee:
Wait oo
If he didn't perform better than those in the GFM why will then make it into their list?

Who said he didn't perform better than those in the other list? His performance might have been outstanding but he was still bettered by a few in the UK category, so rather than waste him, they pushed him to the other category. Why waste a good candidate?
That could be a good reason for giving him rather than dropping him because he didn't pick any FGM country.

Always remember, the helper(ptdf) is at liberty to help however it see fit to whoever it chooses.

Barca evening news;
https://twitter.com/BarcaTimes

Honestly, Lewandowski is really winning my heart. The man does not even want to look anywhere. All he wants is to play for Barça.
He went as far as voicing his displeasure of bayern's treatment.

Those are the kind of players we need. Money isn't the problem for him. It's hunger to prove himself in new waters.

As FDJ, I want him to stay. But if Bernardo comes and he leaves, no problem. But honestly, the boy is very good. So sad that, most of his time at Barça, he didn't have top managers to get the best out of him like ten haag was doing at Ajax.

As for this Raphinha deal, let's start finding alternatives. There are many wingers. Lets find young, exciting wingers in South American leagues or other lesser leagues who are hungry to shine.

ghettokid1:
Ladies and Gentlemen what about Everton's Richarlison ?
dude will be a good addition to the squad and he will not be that expensive and age is also by his side, I'm a big fan of him.

Nope..
I like him. But we don't need him. The guy is......
I don't even know how to explain it sef.. But no mehn.

Let's just prioritize the Lewa deal and getting a CB. The forward line can hold its own with its current personnel + Lewa.

Sad
Sad
Anyway I'll say this, your and reactions are completely understandable and natural. Not everyone would even let that girl go without injury.
Your boss, probably made the decision out of pressure from his family. Using the F-word is too weak of any excuse to fire you. Not like you exchanged blows or anything.

Has for what people are saying or thinking,dont bother. They day we all stop giving a f*ck about what others think about us is the day we start progressing.

Learn a skill, start a small business. Or delve into private teaching. It pays than stupid 8-5 jobs. There are so many things you can do.

Don't give way to depression óò. That thing hurts like hell and makes you miserable.
