I'm glad barca have the sense to organize a farewell for Suarez.
Good to know we can still do some things right.

Awesome01:
Eric Abidal & Dani Alves

Wow!
People don't respect Vidal sha!

Fati as signed a new contract that keeps him with Barça till 2024.

Guess what Barça did? They slapped a 400 million release clause tag on the boy. Let me see who wants to take him when he starts shining.

His new shirt no is 22. Do you remember whose no. that was?

tesppidd:
Can we get him?

Abeg o.

Barca that don't know how to buy players. Haaland that other teams will buy 55-75 million, Barca will buy for 120 million.

How did we forget matheus fernandes. Our new midfielder. Damn.
Puig!

Suarez left the Barça training ground for the last time in tears.
Painful.

That the guy is a gem. If only he had a self-improvement attitude, he and messi would have been the best duo. Sadly, he was just fumbling.

Despite that, he's our 3rd highest scorer. He should have been easily 2nd if he wasn't wasteful and if he stayed.
A legend. One of the best naturally gifted striker's of all time.
But, he has to leave.

He deserves a nice send off like rakitic

jonsnow92:
Busquets should be next.
No emotions attached at all, He needs to go.

Spaniard
La masia product
Long-time player for the club
Vice Captain
Huge Salary

Where's he going to. The only thing that can done is to reduce his playing time. But no, Koeman won't.

Barca has this strong sense of loyalty which can be annoying at times too. That's probably why.

Excallibur:
Heard Riqui Puig refused to go anywhere

Why should he?

I have a feeling Pjanic or Busquets will get injured.

Will Koeman keep player 2 midfielders all the time?

I feel the reason the fool wants Puig out is to accommodate wijnaldum.

cumz:
Then you start wondering, who exactly are in his plans? Lol

The Dutch National team. If he had his way, he will transfer all the Dutch players to Barça. Nonsense man.

tesppidd:
I thought Stegen was out for a month?

We need to hit the ground running now that Madrid have started dropping points.

2 months! After surgery.

As for Madrid, we have no business losing the league to them. I look at that squad and i believe we have a chance to dust them.

Bartomeu stops Suarez transfer. Suarez is angry. Barca want 10 million, Atletico don't want to pay anything. Na wa.

tesppidd:
I wonder how our first line up on Sunday will be;



Griezman?

Dembele? Coutinho? Messi?

Busquets? DeJong?

Alba? Lenglet? Pique? Roberto?

Ter Stagen?

Neto. Ter stegen not available

Ion think he'll start Dembele. Maybe Fati or Trincao.

As for the rest, they're likely to start including that coconut head Griezmann(might play full match, since no Chris Brown and we have no other striker. We need to get a striker, fast).

Likely sub: Dembele, Trincao, Pjanic, Araujo. If the match goes well, Konrad might get a nod.

All the quality deputies like Pedri (for Coutinho) , Puig (for Busi), Aleña (for FDJ), are not in his 'plans'.

Hmm

Hmmm

patrickmuf:
It has been banning me consistently on Manchester United's thread...

I've given up on Seun and co. If they can't work on that antispam crap then that's their problem.

10Dove:
To very bad rubbish!
Vidal was part of the reasons I stopped watching barca for the past 2 seasons

Seriously?!

Kindly give one substantial reason why. Is it that he's not good or what? Too slow? Please tell me. Because asides from the 'aging' factor and the 'building for the future' movement, why's Vidal criticized here please ?

tesppidd:
Only people with very childish mentality speak this way;

You don't get signed by;

-Bayer Levercusen
-Juventus
-Bayern Munich
-Barcelona
-Inter Milan

And be crap;

I can't even think of any other player who has played for such big teams in his career.

.

Zlatan the Great

Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona, Man Utd, PSG

Name anybody badder than

Lol

It isn't about just being loyal. It's about being loyal to the right people/person.

Like Harvey Specter always says: "Loyalty is like a two-way Street. If I'm giving it, I expect it back in return".
Would kiddwaya even show her loyalty?

BTW, her eviction and that of kidd paved way for my UNILAG brother to focus. Now, I can say confidently that my boy is gonna win. Laycon is gonna win.

Sommyroy10:
Who are the teams that want to buy Roberto? It's not just about saying sell, there are lots of things that has to tick before a transfer can happen.

Yea, like the club putting Roberto up for sale. But did they? Nope.

Moura7:
let him go to Bayern for just 6months.... he'd come back 4 inches taller with some muscles and then he'd bench Busi forever

He won't get adequate playing time at all.

Sommyroy10:
If the rumour is actually true and actually works out, we would sign a RB, be calming down.

We would sign a RB.... Right? Okay! No wahala na.

I'll remind you if things go south.

haymekus:
Wolves are ‘one step away’ from signing Nelson Semedo. New bid submitted yesterday and Barcelona are now ready to accept. Work in progress also on personal terms to be agreed.
On next hours Barça are gonna sell Semedo to #Wolves and Vidal to #Inter. Here we go soon!

So Roberto will be the only RB. Roberto? Hmmm.

I wonder what'll happen if he gets injured.

This desperation to get money fast is causing wahala

Ikennablue:
exactly. It's so unfortunate that we have such dumb people running the whole affair. Pairing dejong and puig would have been a sight to behold. Why not give him the chance to prove himself first.

The whole barca fans are against Koeman.
Why not give this guy the chance for the sake of the fans

I now understand why he hasn't excelled in his managerial career.

Puig in the double pivot role has still performed well. So I'm not understanding.

Pjanic was bought not to lead us to glory or as a starter, but to balance our books.

So Koeman wants to use FDJ, Busquets/Pjanic.

He asked Aleña, Puig and Pedri to go on loan.

Pedri played the most minutes for Las Palmas. He's relatively experienced at 17. Puig is 21, the boy is ready. Aleña is talented and ready.

I have tried to look at things from his stand point and I still don't see sense in all of it.

haymekus:
This is so on point man, the past fools we have had as coaches only select players based on the amount spent on them, their salary and their “experience” and not ability, that’s why greizmann will always start even if he won’t offer anything upfront, same with pique and lenglet while araujo sit on the bench


If that mumu use this same defense(which is most definitely) against Villarreal, those their attackers will rip it to shreds

In fact everything have tire me.

Puig, Aleña and Pedri have being asked to go on loan.

I thought Koeman promotes youth. I was wrong. He wants to use Pjanic and Busquets.

As for that defence, it will crumble seriously. That man has no plans for the future.

GrammarNazi1:
Keoman must believe that a player must be big to succeed. Anybody better than Iniesta or Xavi?

Then he's a fool. This man just turned all fans against him. If Puig leaves, honestly, he'll(Koeman) be in the black books of so many fans.

Ikennablue:
These are the exact words of Koeman

Koeman: "Riqui Puig? I spoke to him yesterday. In my opinion, young players have to play: Riqui, Aleñá, Pedri... I told him that it will be difficult for him to play regularly, but I also told him that he has a future here. A loan deal could work for him."

"It's not true that I have told Riqui that I don't count on him. However, there's competition and that complicates things right now."

"I recommend Riqui to leave on loan because a young player like him has to play."



Take your time and think about what this man is saying. Remember, Alena was loaned last season. Koeman got balls. I like that.

Our defense is really shit. All the counter attack against us would have resulted to goal. If nothing is done about this defense, this season will still be a disaster

What's there to think about please? . Notice how De Jong doesn't give his optimal performance when with those old men.

We should take our time to think about shit? He needs to play. And the best way is to give our most precious gem away on loan. Wow. And let old men run things. Really?!

Why don't we do this. Keep De Jong, Aleña and Puig. And find other alternatives for Busquets and Pjanic.

Positives:
Barça dominated the match and held the ball(expected tho)
Players are shooting more (good thing)
Fati is precious (tho it was elche)
Messi is evergreen, but is heart has left the club. Still exceptional tho. The GOAT.
Dembele is a beast.
Trincao and Pedri are wonderful prospects
Coutinho was Great(probably the MOTM for some. Or Messi)

Negatives :
Not a clinical team. We only scored 1 goal, against elche? Just wow.

Please help beg Koeman to bench Griezmann small. The guy lacks presence. Dembele, Trincao, and Pedri were obviously better when coming on.

Busquets, as usual, slow and passive.

Pjanic is just a low budget rakitic (yes, I said it). His only shot(oh lord). What were we thinking letting Arthur go?

No Puig. If he was there, I know how the match would have being. We need a creative mind like Puig.

The defence will be our downfall. What happened to Araujo and Junior. Roberto should be replaced by Semedo. Alba is great attacking wise, but,....

In fact, let me stop here.

haymekus:
The idiot will still bench him and start greizmann

That's just the painful thing

Looking at Dembele, I keep asking :
What if this nigga has been fit all along. Damn!

homesteady:
I was watching the match, but I just stopped. I can't be wasting my data and watching those same old people play.

You can't keep fielding the same set of players and expect different results. If he makes massive changes during the 2nd half, then I will continue watching.

You can watch the newest ancestor in team. Pjanic.

Wait, is he the newest or upcoming ancestor?

Starting XI:

Neto

Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba

De Jong, Busquets

Messi, Coutinho, Fati

Griezmann



This starting lineup like up makes me laugh hard.


Well, it's just Joan Gamper Trophy.
