there is nothing stopping us from winning our sixth ucl. We have been flopping since 2019. The earlier we know, the better. Any useless players with useless mistakes should be called out 😒

How's he more complete? The hype on David is just low, doesn't make Viktor better.
I watched the two several times though it was David at first since he was first known and tbh he doesn't give that fear factor of gyokeres, great with heading, linking up with the midfield, speed and finishing, David is good with them too but gyokeres is more deadly, the only striker I would take ahead of him is haaland but we know what that would do to our finances, there's a reason why tons of clubs are more linked with him than David who'll be free next year

You know ball

You don't have to be Usain bolt to defend in flick's system, just be smart

Whatever flick does with Araujo doesn't concern me, but you see that pau cubarsi make nobody commot am from the first eleven....The boy is too good

This is pau intelligently timing his runs to keep kylian offside

How well can Araujo do this?

https://youtube.com/shorts/oYDgUDhtR80?si=OsHw-w5uMAW7M49M
Cubarsi would have to rest at some point cause of his age, see his injury on Wednesday, The offside trap has been one of the biggest reason for our superb form as of today but it's not safe proof even Flick knows that's why we're virtually on the attack even after scoring much goals, osasuna made a mess of when we rotated, the few times mbappe bypassed it he couldn't score thanks to pena, red star scored their first goal through bypassing it, what I'm virtually saying is that no matter how it works for us we can't keep hoping on it to bail us out forever cause it's a risky tactic that would either bring great wins or defeats depending on how it's laid and how the opposition manipulates it, that's where we need CBs like araujo to chase the ones who bypass it with speed and strength, that's what klopp did with van dijk at Liverpool and flick himself with boateng and alaba at Bayern Munich, despite the moment of madness last season and gundo's statements he's still our best CB

araujo didn't only made a mistake but a very costly one.
Guy dis is champions League. As much as I hate gbadrid, i respect their mentality in champions League. They also make mistakes, but U can never find dem making frustrating mistakes in ucl. They mentality is top tier. That is why they are farming ucl.
I have actually forgiven araujo. But u can't say we should forget about that night just like that.
It's not Spanish super cup, It's champions League!
I don't even think it was just the mistake that made people so angry it was his arrogant reaction to gundo criticizing the mistake that made him more hated and later the contract renewal impasse after the links to Bayern and Manchester united, it was for several reasons not just one, but I don't really like to cling on the past, the truth is if we want to break our UCL barrenness we need our best players available and araujo is one of them, before that red card vs psg we were hailing him for his performances against Napoli and the psg first leg match alongside cubarsi, to limit osimhen and mbappe that time isn't a day's job, but he'll have to gradually fight his way back into the defense

14 years? You sure?? 😳😳

That's too fvvking long. Means we're getting an average of €120mn per season. It's good but not so good in hindsight in the next 7yrs.

This deal should have been max 8-10yrs. Not 14? That's like tying our future with Nike.
I hope there's a clause that says we can unilaterally cancel the deal if targets aren't being met and renegotiation is allowed after like 6yrs.
Nike won't give us 10 years with that amount of money, corporation that was trying to low ball us when we needed FFP leverage the most last summer thankfully laporta stood his ground, I also hope there's some sort of renegotiation clause to review the contract soon cause the way the trend is looking now we'll be of far more benefit to Nike than a lot of football teams
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Derumklala12(m): 11:54am On Nov 09, 2024
Honestly if any of y'all are grudging against araujo y'all should grow up.
It's not like we've been winning the ucl back to back. Even if we beat psg and Dortmund. You think we would beat last season madrid grin😂😂.. araujo saved us from losing a 5th El clasico 🤣.

But yeah I think we should be happy our El Capitan is coming back and soon Christensen.. can't bear this Dominguez.
It's a curse every ucl we dominate the 1st leg then get bleeped in the 2nd leg..


Wasn't araujo our best defender against psg in the 1st leghuh Just look past it cuz it was months ago

Well said. That guy is talking as if fans are just irrationally angry with him.
Person wey cost us seriously. I didn't bank on us winning UCL but I wanted at least that semifinal finish. And Araujo spoilt it. Werey come dey talk nonsense again few days after the event. If he didn't say anything, nobody would still be talking about it. Shey mumu Cancelo no do another penalty disaster for the same match? Who remembers that one's transgression.
Araujo made it all about him. Then his renewal reluctance.

He'll have to regain the trust again cos I no too dey put mind for players wey get eyes to comot from our club. It doesn't end well.

We've even forgotten Christensen, everybody would come back and compete for a spot, cubarsi and inigo's pairing has been nothing short of exceptional but those guys have played a whole lot of games without decent backups and they'll need to rest after all this minutes played , they have to be praised though for not getting injured, as for the UCL I'll rather witness vadrid winning 5 more UCLs than losing to them in a UCL final El clasico, There was nothing to suggest we could beat them last season, Let's just hope araujo learns from all these and reverts back to the performances which made us all love him in the first place
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Ijustwantto(m): 12:01pm On Nov 09, 2024
some players have been single handedly costing us ucl. Dembele for example. He'll be missing chances like a fool.
Enough is enough cheesy

Yeah. I'm hoping a renegotiation clause is included for upward review. I heard about the inclusion of it some months back sha.
Don't know if it's finally agreed in this new deal.
We'll wait and see as more info trickles in about the deal.

But I don't like this paying of signing on bonus for a whole 14yrs. Could have been 5yrs max.
Anyways we move.

Yes he has to regain the fan base's trust after this tension and show us why he deserves to start in our current defence, but I still think he's our best CB based on mere ability

I believe what is doing JP is fair-weather fanaticism..he will soon apologise. 😁
Not really. If you see our team today, our worst performers are those players that witnessed the 8 - 2 humbling against Bayern.

The likes of Frenkie de Jong, Ter Stegen and Ronald Araujo, who he sat on the bench that infamous night in Lisbon. They appear to have been scalded mentally by that defeat.

They seem to not be able to raise their game anymore. Kind of held in a vicious cycle ever since. One step forward, 10 steps backwards.

All of them have endured an insane amount of long term injuries in recent times. One day, they're playing well. Another day, they're making rash decisions on the pitch like getting early sent off in our biggest game or helping a teammate get sent off in our first UCL of the season.

I hope Hansi Flick can help them recover what is left of their mentality
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Derumklala12(m): 12:08pm On Nov 09, 2024
I don dey see ppl dey dogwalk haaland.. I no like that kind striker. So limited.. but with our midfield him go chop Wella but he's not a great footballer to me. Don't like him that much
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Derumklala12(m): 12:10pm On Nov 09, 2024
Why is this fanbase so moved by the slightest.. if it's big money curlers will want him even tho he above average at best.
Leao it the modern version of 2020 vinicius with better dribbling. He sucks bruh. If it was 2022 leao then okay but now he sucks

I'm surprised the talk is so focused on Araujo like say na only am dey team. Chris has been the most consistent of all our defenders all through last season. But nobody dey shout about him absence when it's sorely needed.

I hope so too bro, but maybe laporta is looking at future camp nou income and us being more successful in competitions to even the deficit brought by this long duration cause obviously the other top teams in Europe would have at least twice as much as our current contract in the next 14 years, honestly the way our economic progression is going we have to be on the lookout for any form of bartomeu leading the club once again
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Derumklala12(m): 12:12pm On Nov 09, 2024

We don too suffer make them flex us nah grin

I don't understand this fanbase obsession with this average bum. The hype on him is annoying. Especially for an uninterested player like him.

Don't know why we're not seeing hype for the likes of Ademola Lookman. Will choose him over this Vibes and insha'Allah player.

I no even want Haaland sef cos of his big pay. Any played wey pass €70mn I feel we should pass it up. We just getting out of financial crises and first thing we want to do is repeat the same shït that got us in trouble in the first place?

My options for striker to replace Lewa, either Gyokeres or Jonathan David or give me Alexander Isak (has injury issues & might be more expensive tho)

I don't like the deal. Yes it might help us in the interim but we expect to have grown much bigger in the next 7 years. This is 2024, not some dark ages.

In the next 7 - 10 years, clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United would have negotiated a deal in the realms of €250m - €300m per year.

I don't know what those clubs are currently earning from Adidas or other shirt makers, but I feel we're shortchanging ourselves for a short-term gain.

I go continue dey flake am till he shuts me up cos the times I've watched him I haven't been impressed one bit.
As for Olmo, me not wanting him was cos of his injury proneness and possibly limiting Fermin Lopez and most importantly the cost.

If Lua Lua Jr can come for free then no problem.

This is why I don't like the deal. 14 yrs is way too long for that amount.
Madrid and Man United earn similar amounts in around €120mn per season so this ain't groundbreaking. And Madrid is due for a new deal in like 4yrs time.

True. Camp Nou completion would make us easily possibly the highest earner in Europe just by stadium sales and museum & miscellaneous revenues.
