tesppidd:
Let's not kid ourselves everybody...

The only players that am sure the club and coach would make a conscious effort to sell are Vidal, Suarez and Rakitic.

The rest are subject to finding the right replacements for them.

Having said that; at least 2 of Alba, Pique, Busquets, Roberto, must still play in our first team in the 2020/21 season.

Let's not kid ourselves..

Koeman :"It's time to give the young players a chance "

tesppidd:
Messi will play right of course.

What we need is a viable option on the left, like Neymar was and Dembele was.

And can we trust Grizou to always deliver as a no 9.
If Dembele and Messi are occupying the wings, that means Fati, Trincao and Pedri will warm bench tire.

BTW, how come no one is talking about Braithwaite?

FirstbornWds:
It doesn't bother club you say?

Who'd be paying their wages? Why will we have over 4 players receiving as much pay as our benchwarmers? E get as e be now.


They need to go to allow other talents to flourish. We won't want to be paying for a job not done.

The players are currently on wage cut.
While some have contracts that'll expire soon.

Which ever way, the club will survive even if they're getting paid.

FirstbornWds:
I feel say we still need Coutinho, Pique and Vidal. Not to forget we have another "ancestor" joining us soon (Pjanic).

Rakitic, Umtiti, Alba, and Suarez ( I hate to admit this guy) have to leave.
So make we know as e go day do us.

Vidal can go. He might have aggression on the pitch but honestly, the young boys will do so better without getting their hands dirty.
Can Pique survive against a sharp, fast attack. He's past his prime.
I will love to see what Koeman will do to Coutinho(although he wants van de beek).
Umtiti can stay.
But I'm still racking my heading concerning where Messi will play that won't affect the other attackers . Right? No 9? Attacking midfield?

Pjanic matter ehn. I don't know. Can someone please explain why Arthur was sold again. E be like say I don't forget or there was no reason given.

barackodam:
Rakitic, Vidal, Coutinho, Umtiti.

Those are the easy offloads.

Suárez won't leave.

Roberto can, but if the gramps can't leave, why should he?

Coutinho might not be sold. That guy is talented but something wasn't just right when he was under valverde

FirstbornWds:
They can't play in Team B.... E get as be now.
Make them day go.... They have tried.

O. Guardiola, can you just borrow our next coach small from your balls of steel?

Then they'll be benched and will hardly play. They'll get frustrated and will leave. Whether they refuse to to go or not doesn't bother the club(maybe the money for their sale will but it doesn't matter ). They're done.

[quote author=khingTony post=92983815][/quote]I would love to see Koeman go unbeaten and create an unstoppable barca team.
Let me see how font wants to remove him and spoil the huge benefits brought by Koeman.
All this one he's saying na bants. Political talks to gain support. Let season start proper.

But first, he has to win the elections.

khingTony:
Victor Font wants Xavi as Coach, so Koeman's days as coach are numbered

If Koeman performs brilliantly. It would be difficult to just toss him out. Because he would gain the support of the fans and players.

Trust me, no president would want to be in the bad books of the fans. And no manager would want to take a job where he's under pressure to surpass his predecessor without the backing of the locker room or the fans.

arabmoney14:
I wasn't specific about a particular fan Am just addressing something many fans are now saying on barca pages

Many fans?! Hmm. Definitely not barca fans.

arabmoney14:
*juventus appoint pirlo to rebuild juventus
Juve fans: good he will rebuild a better squad that can support ronaldo
*barca plans to rebuild the club
Barca fans: messi should be part of those sold. He's too old

Meanwhile ronaldo is 2 years older than messi..how many juve fans have we seen saying he's too old for the club?

What's this one saying now?
You obviously didn't read what others have been saying abi.

No one is saying Messi should leave because he's old, they're just saying the problem of over reliance on Messi which we've been crying about for years can only be solved if he leaves..

It's a painful thing to admit but it might just be a correct, lasting solution if barca doesn't want to be the next arsenal after Messi leaves.

tesppidd:
Koeman is looking at Van Der Beek.

I've always like van De beek. His forward runs are just mad. I was shocked barca were gunning for De Jong and De ligt only.
The fact that they were blind to van de beek's play shows how useless abidal is. Thank God they saw De Jong tho.
But what's going to happen to the other midfielders.

Initially, I was hoping barca would gun for Ten haag. But then again.

Hmm.

Webometric criteria for ranking isn't comprehensive.

UNILAG still remains the best. The only school that can challenge that is Covenant University(I respect that school).
If all Universities can strive to be like Covenant, we'll be producing graduates with substance

Damn!
DNA test no go bad o. The resemblance ehn. I still doubt that it isn't Photoshop.

Hmm. Nn
I'll talk if this hits fp. If to say na just hit, e for better

tesppidd:
Seriously..

It took too damn long.

This process should have begone since 2018.


OUTS..
Rakitic

Dembele
Griezman
Umtiti
Vidal


BENCH
Alba
Busquets
Firpo

INS
Messi
Pique
Fati
Puig
De Jong
Lenglet
Semedo
Pjanic

I'm dying to see what barca board will do concerning Coutinho. Ion think they'll sell him.

I don't think Dembele should be sold. He should be properly managed. He is our second best attacker.

Umtiti should be retained too.
The board won't sell Griezmann. I doubt it.

Honestly barca has nothing to do. The only thing needed is to give the hungry players chances to play. Not playing politics. Forget the captains (Messi, Pique, Roberto).
We need someone like Enrique who was bold enough to throw Messi to the wing and allow that useless Suarez play 9.
If Setien was in charge then, he would play Suarez on the wing so as not to offend Messi.

Barca has it all. Get players from the B team or Academy. Try them. Alphonso davies is 19! You think we don't have talents like him? Since when did barca start losing faith in youth and talent?

Lastly, Neymar is gone. Stop trying to replace him.

tesppidd:
Seriously..


In My Humble Opinion.

I can't wait to see what the barca board will do to Coutinho. I doubt they'll want to loan or sell him

Olamyyde:
May God punish me for defending and supporting semedo for the past 3 years. That is the worst performance I've ever seen seen from a barca player in the UCL in my life.


Even lord matheiu and andre gomes never played that bad

Every player must have a worst match. Yesterday was his.
But is it really his fault. We all know bayern wing play is superb while Alba and Semedo love running up. What was Setien's plan to support the fullbacks in an overloaded wing?

Nothing! I'm still trying wrap my head on why Roberto started that match.

Setien at one point played 4 attackers, leaving the midfield and defense vulnerable.

usbcable:
This is why Barcelona is not moving forward.
After that disgraceful debacle and humiliating disgrace called a match the various fan pages of barca are consoling Messi ALONE.

nothing matters in Barca again except Messi

An example is tesspid will rather quit NL than Messi leave Barca

Don't you get!

He's carrying the team. Only him.
What do you expect. Everyone was just playing with no drive or motivation.

He has been screaming. He fought with abidal once concerning club issues.
Bartomeu and Co were busy buying useless players and selling good ones.
They brought weak managers. Yet Messi was covering all the cracks and problems. We knew we had problems, but Messi's brilliance match in, match out made the board relaxed. Now Bayern exposed the problem.
And you're saying they shouldn't console him.

Honestly, enough is enough.

Nikeballer:
WE KNOW BUT HE IS NOT THE REASON YOUR CLUB HAVE CONTINUALLY BEEN DISGRACED IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SINCE 2016 LIKE ARSENAL

He had a part to play in tonight's failure.

When I saw the selection he made, especially in the midfield, I knew he had bleeped up.
His style and tactics tonight was just terrible. Playing high line against Bayern Who does that.

First Roma. Then Liverpool. Now it's Bayern.

I knew bayern were favorites but not this way.

Barca was useless.
Suarez, Vidal, Busquets, Pique, Semedo, Alba and Roberto should be sold.

That coach is a fool.
You're playing against a fast, youthful attack and you field old men.
I've said it before. Setien is not the kind of manager we need.

I'm glad this happened. Finally, the overhaul process can start.

At this stage, Messi can leave. He'll be a fool to stay. He has done enough. He deserves a better place.

Moura7:
Omo bro....I no just know wetin dey happen here.
We dey play like Wigan I swear...our defense just open, Semedo wing na just giveaway but funny enough he's the best barca player on the pitch

Guy! I'm weak o.

Afam4eva:
Barca are not taking advantage of Bayern's porous defense but Bayern is taking advatnage of Barca's own bad defense. Barca needs to stop overplaying the ball and push forward.

As in! Bayern are playing direct football. But I know this match isn't over. Barca has a chance. both defenses are weak.

Oga o...u suppose dey pray make e end like this o cause if more goals dey this game, na Bayern get am o

Let's watch!

Karleb:
It'll will be disheartening if he gets sacked.
The man has done absolutely nothing wrong.
Barcelona has been a miserable team for some years now.

What the Bleep are you saying.
This man doesn't have a clue of what to do with the talents at his disposal.

We barca fans knew it won't be easy.
But the match isn't over. I just wish we had a wise manager.

TalabiAudu:


Lmao.

Bayern don't have ANY defect in that their team ffs.

You don't know what you're saying.
Bayern pressing and joint work cover up their defence. That's why they haven't shipped in a lot of goals. If Dembele was starting. We'll beat this bayern. Tho not easily.
I've been comparing the teams bayern have faced and the teams barca have faced in the Champions League
You'll realize this bayern team are still yet to be tested.

FirstbornWds:
It's okay... So it's not even the whole of Barcelona... Just Messi...


Oh Barcelona.

It's like you don't know what that guy can do. He'll create something from nothing (whether goal, assist, cross, pass, dribble).

haymekus:
Yen Yen Yen

No big time coach will play Puig in a champions league match, but pep played foden against Madrid when he had silva, b.silva, mahrez and so on

It's about bravery and trust and balls of steel.

Setien doesn't have that.

IKON360:
I know we don't have money but we HAD, what did we do with it sign players without looking at the structure of the club and know whether or not these players would fit in. You see this Griezman that's constantly looking like a disaster. If he plays for a team like Atalanta you would surely notice a difference. Man's not suited for Barca unless we play with 2 strikers ahead of Messi. It's really sad.
All these players do we have a suitable back up striker?

LOL. Why do people always attack Griezmann. If you play him in his natural position, he will excel. He is not a winger.

See, barca are unfortunate. We got good players but did we get good managers to bring the best out of these players.
The overwhelming worship of Messi was also another problem.
Watch games when Messi wasn't on the pitch. Notice how Coutinho, and this season, Griezmann stepped up.
