Awesome01:
Wait o, are you guys proposing that we use Rash in Yamal's position? Explain. I no understand una.

Ijostwantto:
he missed a crucial match in the ucl last season too. I think that was the semi against inter.🥲
All the best to balde.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
This Balde guy na injury prone player. Barca should look for alternative LB in January.
OUT for three weeks, he will miss our UCL opener against Newcastle.

Bimmarlykay:
Tongue in cheek bruh.

Odizeey wanna gaslight us.Rashy is clueless regardless of his position.😎

Derumklala12:
Even if we went trophyless this season
I wouldn't vouch to sack flick

Especially when there's no one better than him that's available

Derumklala12:
I'll say it now

Take 50 million
Go to Germany
Go to Dortmund
Drop it on their table

Take serhou guirassy and run

This is the most realistic replacement we can get for lewy next season

AirBere:
Good deal. That guy is a dangerous finisher but the wordings though, lol.

AirBere:
Dejong genuinely makes me laugh as a midfielder. There was an opening for Gakpo twice in the first half yet he'll twist, turn only to pass to Gravenberch.

Athletic Arthur Melo

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Fdj na average player. He's so overrated. Curbasi will have more passing accuracy & assist than him. I hate those useless turns from him.

Meanwhile, they're saying FIFA don update their offside rule.

[🚨] 𝗡𝗘𝗪: FIFA have approved a NEW offside rule!

⚠️ From now on, an attacker will only be offside if their entire body is ahead of the defender.

🔺Example: In the picture below, this player would be considered onside under the new rule. —[DS Sports]

Derumklala12:
Now that he don born, let him stop being careful, no one is going to break his leg

The worst part is he's very good at progressive runs when he tries😔

Derumklala12:
Also put into consideration
Tht we play double pivot
So Pedro is still there to recover as he's shown

We've seen those runs from pedri and sometimes from de jong

Besides you're talking of covering the back 4 like we no know who de jong be for defense 😂

I passed through Camp Nou on Friday and it was no where nearly done, at least from what I could see from the outsides. I don’t know why it’s taking that company donkey years to refurbish a stadium. So if they wanted to build a brand new stadium, it’ll take them eternity?😳😳

AirBere:
Yes, it's literally a new stadium.

If you work in construction you'll understand that things are not so straightforward. My colleague, a Barca fan who visited Barcelona took a tour round the stadium during the demolition process and yeah, they're literally building a completely new stadium.

I saw these images online and it's not different from what my colleague explained about the stadium. Be patient

jpmoriarti:
I know things are not always that straight-forward esp with constructions but they already started knocking down the upper layer 3 years ago and started to work on the exterior almost immediately. And they only demolished the uppermost layer of the stadium. Currently the stadium have a sitting capacity of about 60k.

Yet, they have been very slow and I felt they were not tackling all the parts simultaneously. They could have done that and the exterior would have been ready by now. The stairs which spectators can use to enter the stadium are not even ready as of Friday last week. I have visited that stadium more than 20 times and I have never been impressed with the speed with which they were progressing. It is not as if it rains a lot in Barcelona. So what's the cause of the slow progress?

Obviously, I am not a construction engineer and I don't have any details on steps they're using to rebuild the stadium but they haven't met any deadline set to them by the club. Surely, 3 years is enough to get the stadium to a state where 50k spectators can safely enter into it. But they're not close to even guaranteeing this.

Baddestguyp:
This begs the question that I've been left wondering---

"What exactly does De Jong do in that midfield?"

AirBere:
It takes about 3-5 years to build a 90k capacity stadium from scratch. Your stadium was completely demolished and everything is from scratch. It's like going to a new site to build something completely new. This is not a money issue but quality control. The engineers are 💯 very busy for sure. Oyibo engineers no dey do rush work. Them value quality.

50k capacity is a possibility but not really the goal. The idea is to have a stadium strong enough to house 90k people. There are obviously going to be test after test so the stadium don't collapse. 90k no be beans, as such no need to rush. If they rush now and house 30k or 50k people and it collapses, na another complains/issues.

3-5 years with test after test for quality control is cool. Barca are within that range. The issue here is the promises your president made about the return. Him for just say we're going back to Camp nou in 4-5years and everybody for don rest by now.

For me, a 90k stadium or any stadium shouldn't be rushed. Be patient . Na you go still enjoy am.

jpmoriarti:
Sorry mate but you got this wrong. The stadium wasn't completely demolished and they're not building it from scratch. They only removed the top tier layer of the stadium, that would be mean removing like 30-40k seats. The remaining 50k-60k seats were not demolished. The foundation of the stadium not touched. The beams and columns were elected on the exterior to provide support for the roof and all the tiers. This is not a brand new stadium built from scratch.
